The Kings are 13-6 in their last 19 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Canucks are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The under is 3-0-1 in Kings last 4 overall. The over is 24-9-2 in Canucks last 35 overall. The Kings are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Vancouver and 1-6 in the last 7 meetings.

You can make a case for either side here, and the Los Angeles Kings are the better team that will be in the postseason. However, the Canucks are piling up the wins in their own right despite not playing for much these days, and they’ve beaten up on the Kings in past meetings. This is also the last home game of the season for the Canucks, so you should expect an inspired performance for the home fans after a playoff push that ended up a little short. It wasn’t a complete failure this season for the Canucks. Give me the home team and the cheap price.
