Goals Look in Short Supply

The best betting angle could be Under 5.5 goals, especially when it’s priced at odds of +105. The Kings and the Devils may fall short of the mark.

Kings Beat Devils in Pair’s Last Meeting

Los Angeles Kings have won six on the spin, triumphing 3-1 in their previous game. This was on the road against New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Mikey Anderson, Adrian Kempe and Kevin Fiala scored one goal each. Goalie Darcy Kuemper had 19 saves (.950).

New Jersey Devils have lost back-to-back games, most recently suffering a 2-1 (OT) home defeat to Toronto Maple Leafs at Prudential Center. Devils had 39 shots but despite this only managed to score one goal. Ondrej Palat was the goalscorer.

The Kings have won the last two meetings against the Devils. They triumphed 2-1 at Prudential Center and then 5-1 at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings have won six of the past 9 games that these teams have played.
