Los Angeles Kings at Tampa Bay Lightning Picks & Betting Tips
Tampa Bay are looking to bounce back after that shock 4-0 loss to Ottawa. If they have everyone fit and ready to go, I expect them to bounce back in style when the Kings come to town.
LA don’t look comfortable on the road having more in the loss column than the win column when they leave the Staples Center to play, and I can’t see any shock happening in this game.
- Tampa Bay Lightning are the reigning Stanley Cup Champions
- Tampa Bay are also 5-1-0 in December
- LA Kings are 4-4-2 on the road
- Tampa Bay Lightning are 3rd in the Atlantic Division
- Toronto Maple Leafs are 6th in the Pacific Division
Head To Head
- This is the first time they have played each other this season.
- Tampa Bay lead the all-time series with 26 wins to the Kings’ 13 wins
- Tampa Bay are unbeaten against LA in the 2020’s winning the 2 games they have played this decade
Los Angeles Kings Form
LA Kings are looking to hit some form this season after an inconsistent first 2 and a half months of the season. The Kings are 12-10-4 this season and are 6th in their division but with how close that division is if they pick up a bit of form and pick points up against teams in their division who knows what they could do but form needs to get more consistent for this to happen.
Adrian Kempe is the main player at scoring goals all season and in recent game for the Kings scoring 11 goals in 26 games and he got 3 of that 11 in the last 5 games. Kempe is in his 6th season with kings and is 5 goals away from matching his highest scoring season which was 16 goals in 81 games in the 2017/18 season.
Another threat for LA is Anze Kopitar. Kopitar leads the charts in assists and points for the Kings and is looking to help his team hit the form the famous black and whites are known for. He also has the 3rd highest average time on ice with 21:18 minutes per game which shows he is on the ice for a considerable amount of time and does a lot with that time.
Drew Doughty has shown that defense can win you games and set up goals with him having 3 assists in the last 5 games and his defense has the 8th best average for goals against per game this season with 2.58.
The Kings have a 53.2% Faceoff win rate which is the 6th highest in the league.
Jonathan Quick has a goal against average is 2.04 and a save percentage of .933. He also has 2 shutouts this season.
Tampa Bay Lightning Form
Tampa Bay are looking to bounce back after that shock loss in Ottawa and that’s all it was a shock. I don’t think this will result in a downward spiral in form because before that they hadn’t lost in December. After playing 5 games in 10 days so they must have been fatigued from playing and travelling and just got picked off by the Senators, but they will make sure that doesn’t happen again to keep the recent positive sporting attitude up in Tampa.
The main threat for the Stanley Cup holders is Steven Stamkos. He leads the charts in goals and points for the Lightning and doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon. The 14-year veteran has an average of 18:00 minutes on the ice and does a lot on the ice when he is on it. With less than a period per game and to get 32 points already this season can only be done by a special player and Tampa Bay know they have a legend in Stamkos
Alex Killorn is also showing he can still play into his thirties and doesn’t want to slow down now especially when a 3-peat season is on the line. The 32-year-old has 23 points in 27 games and is on course to beat his best season in the points tally only 24 off equalling his personal best playing 55 games less so far.
The Lightning have an 80.0% Penalty Kill rate which is the 8th highest in the league.
Andrei Vasilevskiy has a goal against average is 2.17 and a save percentage of .927. He also has 2 shutouts this season.

Verdict
Tampa Bay will bounce back strong which can only spell trouble for the Kings when they visit the Amalie Arena.
Tampa are looking for their 3rd Stanley Cup in as many years so they can’t afford that many results like the one in Ottawa and everyone around the team knows that.
They will want a solid performance against LA so I think it will be a high scoring affair.
