T.M. Selection: LA Kings.

I really love the way this one sets up for LA. The Isles have been playing great, but off B2B road wins to open this trip, including a 6-1 win at Anaheim just last night, a predictable "letdown" is in the cards here in my estimation. New York will have two nights off after this before a game at Buffalo, so not only is it a letdown, but also a look-ahead. Potentially anyways. The Kings play with revenge after a 3-2 OT loss at New York back in December. LA is off a listless 4-1 loss to Dallas, but note that the Kings are 4-1 in their last five off a home loss as a favorite. Look for LA to bounce back here and take advantage of this great situation and lay the price with confidence.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 LA.
