Stephen Nover's NHL Thursday Top Ticket
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Los Angeles, 11/03/2016 6:30 PM, Score: 2 - 3
Money Line: 102.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Win
I can't pass up the Kings as a home 'dog even though they are not playing well and hosting the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins.

Pittsburgh is playing well. However, it's a brutal spot for the Penguins. They just impressively beat the Ducks, 5-1, in Anaheim last night and have a bigger road game on deck in a Stanley Cup finals rematch against San Jose on Saturday.

The Kings haven't scored in three games. The last time that happened was 1969. The Kings also have a goalie problem. However, their roster is talented, they will be highly motivated, home, are the more rested team and draw the Penguins expected to play Marc-Andre Fleury at goalie. Fleury is not the Penguins' best goalie in my opinion.

Los Angeles has won three of its last four home games. The Kings were 26-12-1-2 at home last season.
