The Kings appear to have steadied the ship after their recent dip, while Seattle arrive in miserable form.

  • 7 of the Kings' last 9 wins have been by at least 2 goals
  • Seattle Kraken have lost 12 of their last 14 games
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of Los Angeles' last 10 games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Kings lead the regular season series 1-0
  • Los Angeles Kings won via shootout when the two teams last met on December 16

Seattle Kraken Form

Seattle head to Los Angeles in miserable form, having lost 10 of their last 12 games to fall to 10-14-8.

The Kraken made it to the playoffs last time around, but a return is looking unlikely at this early stage of the season.

A 5-1 defeat at home to Vancouver on November 24 proved to be the start of a run of eight straight defeats.

Seattle stopped the rot finally with a 4-0 win against Florida, and they backed that up with a 7-1 demolition of Chicago.

The Kraken failed to keep that run going though, as they lost to Los Angeles via a shootout before heading to Dallas for a 4-3 defeat.

Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles come into this game on the back of a couple of wins in response to a recent three-game losing skid.

The Kings hit a hot streak in the second half of November as they reeled off five consecutive wins before falling to a 2-1 defeat to Washington.

They bounced back quickly though, beating Colorado 4-1 at home before heading out on the road to beat Columbus 4-3 in overtime and Montreal 4-0.

Los Angeles’ form tailed off after that though, as they lost back-to-back games in New York, 3-2 OT to the Islanders and 4-1 to the Rangers.

The Kings’ losing sequence hit three games with a 5-2 home loss to Winnipeg, but they were able to avoid a fourth straight loss with a shootout win in Seattle, and backed that up with a 4-1 win in San Jose.

Verdict

Los Angeles have got back on track in recent days and are backed to get the job done against a struggling Seattle team.
