4:00 PM EST. OT included. If you keep spotting big prices like this with average teams like the Kings, you are likely going to be watching the NHL playoffs from the rail (that’s an old horse racing term that refers to bettors at the track that were broke and watched the races while leaning against the rail). In any case, the Kings are coming off a loss at home against a Carolina team that played the night before in Anaheim and lost 6-5 in OT. The Kings have dropped three of their last four games with only victory over that span occurring against the Coyotes. Los Angeles is 13-13 overall and they are also 3-7 against top-10 teams but they are priced like they’re 10 games over .500.  

Meanwhile, the Sens keep getting disrespected but they keep on winning games. Mike Condon is the new Hamburglar. All Condon has done is post a .945 save percentage and a 1.68 GAA since the Senators made the move of the year so far by picking him up. It’s not just goaltending though. Ottawa has tremendous talent up front. They absolutely and without question have more snipers than the offensively challenged Kings. The Sens sharpshooters were not producing at a high rate early on but they are connecting now with 11 goals in their past two games against Pittsburgh and San Jose. The Senators always create high quality chances and in that regard, they rank 13th in the league while the Kings rank 27th. However, over the past 10 games, Ottawa ranks second in the NHL in creating high quality chances while the Kings remain near the bottom of the league. Ottawa is 16-11 and 4-3 against top-10 teams. This truly is a fair fight but it is not priced as such and therefore we simply have to play the value.
