Betting Trends for vs
The Kings are coming off off of a recent win over the Rangers. However, the win was at home and now the Kings are on the road where the Ducks beat them in the last meeting. Both of the offenses are fairly evenly matched and the two teams have not really looked that good recently either. Look for the Kings to come in playing strong, but the lack of defense in the game does not help the Kings as the Ducks are able to bring home the win in the game with a stronger defensive showing. Final Score Prediction, Anaheim Ducks win 3-1.
