The reigning Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings have started the season strong, winning six of their nine games. They have only played twice on the road though, losing both in overtime. They might come up short once again here against a Pittsburgh Penguins team who has a tradition of playing its best hockey home in Pennsylvania.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. The Penguins Power Play - Pittsburgh is by far the most effective team on the power play scoring 13 goals on 32 opportunities for an amazing 40.6% success rate. That is certainly no fluke, as they were top of that table last season as well when they converted on 23.4% of their chances to play with a man advantage. Evgeni Malkin has four power play goals and seven power play points total to his name so far this season.
2. Home Cookin' - The Penguins have been a great bet at home over the last two seasons, going 50-21 SU since 2013. They have an advantage over the Kings as well, winning six of the last eight meetings at CONSOL Energy Center.
3. X-factor - A bit predictable, but Sidney Crosby has been immense so far, registering seven assists and seven goals over the first eight games. He scored twice in Tuesdays 8-3 thumping of the Devils.
