NHL Friday battle of bad teams - Kings at Blackhawks
Friday Nov.16
LA KINGS +140 ML // 5 units to win 7
This might appear to be a crazy pick as bad as the Kings have played, and I will honestly say I'm not super confident with it... as a max 5-unit play it should exhibit high confidence. But I think the game is a complete coin flip 50-50, and at +140 odds is why I'm throwing the max at it. Reasons:
CHI played 7 games since 10/31, with 5 of those on the road, during which time the scored only 11 goals total vs. allowed 24 goals
LAK played 6 games since 11/3, all at home, scored 12 goals vs. allowed 16 goals (of which 5 of those came on Nov.1 vs. PHI)
LW Carl Hagelin first game for LAK since being traded from PITT (for Tanner Pearson)
LAK is statistically the better team in several categories
A bit of a wildcard is the Kings should be starting rookie goalie Calvin Peterson on the road, vs. Corey Crawford starting at home for Chicago. But Petersen did see action on Nov.13 when he came in about halfway thru the game against Toronto on Nov.13, in which he made 15 of 16 saves, allowing just 1 power play goal to the mighty Maple Leafs.
Chicago is -155 in this game why?? because at home? both teams stink. Take the Kings for the upset at big +plus odds.
