NHL: San Jose vs. Los Angeles

Pick:: Los Angeles
Start:: May 23, 2013 - 10:30 PM
Capper:: Bryan Power
Offered at:: 5dimes @ -145 Los Angeles
Analysis:

1* LA Kings (10:35 ET): This series appears to be destined to go seven games. That's because neither team is able to win at the other's rink. So far this season, there have been eight meetings of these Pacific Division rivals. The home team has won all eight. So with things moving back to Los Angeles for Game 5 Thursday, one would certainly expect the defending Stanley Cup Champs to have the advantage....

In addition to the home ice advantage, a number of key trends also point towards a Kings victory here. They are a perfect 11-0 at home after playing a road game this season while also going 19-8 the last two years when playing with double revenge. In addition to dominating San Jose here at Staples Center, the Kings have won 24 of 29 home games this season overall. Conversely, the Sharks are 1-7 on the road after playing a home game this season. They have lost 18 of 28 on the road overall this season.

There hasn't been much scoring so far in this series with San Jose totaling just seven goals and Los Angeles at eight. I think the Sharks will be victimized by a lack of scoring once again here as they barely average over 2 goals per game for the season away from home while the Kings give up less than that on average here at home. Kings go up 3-2 in the series. 1* LA Kings.
