The NHL Pacific Division will literally dominate the closure scene on next Saturday night’s schedule, and one of the most anticipated divisional games will take place at 08:00 pm CST, when the Anaheim Ducks play the Los Angeles Kings for the second time this regular season. For this game, the Ducks are expected to struggle even more than they did one month ago, when they were forced to tiebreak against the Kings in shootouts.
Having this in mind, it makes sense that the odds have made the Los Angeles Kings favorites to win this game; nonetheless, it must be noted that the Kings have only been able to win one of their last five games. In this regard, such negative numbers have their root cause in the terrible offensive performance from this team, as they haven’t been able to score four or more goals since their 4-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth on December 8th.
Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks have recently lost the outstanding momentum that allowed them to solidly compete in the top 4 of the Western Conference’s standings. However, after losing three of their last four games, the Ducks have been tied by the Vegas Golden Knights and the Edmonton Oilers with 44 points, so winning this road game in LA will be mandatory if they want to avoid sitting in the sixth spot.

Our Los Angeles Kings vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
That said, this game isn’t expected to be as spectacular as their first game in their regular season series was. Most of these negative expectations are related to the almost confirmed absence of Leo Carlsson with the Ducks, as he has been one of the scoring leaders for his team.
In conclusion, the Los Angeles Kings will face such a nice opportunity to secure a victory that could increase the margin with the San Jose Sharks and the Seattle Kraken in the standings, as they currently are just less than two games above them. Therefore, the pick for the Anaheim Ducks – Los Angeles Kings is: Under 6.5 Goals!
