Anaheim are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Anaheim's last 5 games when playing on the road against Los Angeles.

The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Los Angeles's last 12 games.

Los Angeles are 7-13 SU in their last 20 games.

Prediction

The Ducks are definitely the worst team in the league this season and have won only 2 games on the road so far. The Kings have been up and down this season and are allowing 3.3 goals per game. With the Ducks allowing over 4 goals per game I like the over on this one.
