Recent Team Performances
Alright, let’s get into this action between Detroit and the Kings here on Saturday.
Look at what the Kings have been doing—they’ve lost two straight hockey games, winners of just one of their last four. Slumping a little bit. Detroit, on the other hand, ended their two-game losing streak and have been winners in three of their last five hockey games.
Head-to-Head Matchups
Head-to-head, Detroit has won the last two meetings, including the last one here in L.A. They needed a shootout to get the job done last time, but hey, this Detroit team has been playing some pretty good hockey.
It’s the second half of a back-to-back for them, so who do we expect to see in this one? I expect to see Talbot. Coming off his 250th career win, I expect him to be solid for the Red Wings here in this one.
Betting Angle: Take the Under
It’s always tough going from way out east to the West Coast. Do I want to lay that kind of price with the Kings? No, no, I do not.
Both of these teams average under three goals a game, so where do we go here in this one? Take the under. I expect a lower-scoring game.
We’ve seen five straight overs between these two teams, but that’s going to change in this one. Expect a lower-scoring game on Saturday. 3-2 wins it. Take the under—Detroit vs. Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. Appreciate each and every one of you. Have yourself a good one. Till I catch you on the next one.
