10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH: 39-23 NHL Y-T-D!
(NHL) Kings (LAK) vs. Devils (NJ),
Total: 5.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH on the OVER Kings/Devils.

These teams don't typically play to high-scoring outcomes, but I believe the conditions are right for a high-scoring "goal-fest" here on Thursday finally between these non-conference opponents.

Just a great situational play overall.

LA is 17-8 after six straight wins. Its seen the total go UNDER in three straight, but note that looking back the Kings have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

New Jersey has seen the total go UNDER in four straight after back-to-back losses, posting just a single goal over that span.

With each side pushing the pace like I suspect to earn the victory here tonight, everything does indeed point to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later in my opinion.

Good luck, NP
