Preview
The Los Angeles Kings continue on the road and will visit the Vancouver Canucks at the Rogers Arena on Friday night. These teams met three times last season and the Canucks led 2-1 with the 2 wins at home.
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings have won 5 of the last 6 games and are 5-4-1 on the road this season ranking 2nd in the Pacific. In their lasr game on the road, they beat the Oilers 3-1. Viktor Arvidsson assisted on all three goals for the Kings, who have won five of their last six games. Cal Petersen stopped 22 shots.

In their last 10 games the Kings are 7-3, averaging 3.2 goals, 4.8 assists, 5.2 penalties and 14.9 penalty minutes while giving up 2.5 goals per game.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have lost 4 of their last 6 games and are 2-3-1 at home so far ranking 7th in the Pacific. They're coming from a tough game against the Buffalo Sabres on the road where they came up with the victory 5-4. Bo Horvat had a goal and two assists. The Canucks also got goals from Dakota Joshua, Ethan Bear, Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller in closing a five-game road trip.

BETTING TRENDS
Los Angeles are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.
Los Angeles are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games against Vancouver.
Los Angeles are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games on the road.
Los Angeles are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Vancouver.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Vancouver's last 8 games.
Vancouver are 5-13 SU in their last 18 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Vancouver's last 5 games against Los Angeles.
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Vancouver's last 13 games at home.
Prediction
The Kings have been playing good lately as they have won 5 of their last 6 games but they have struggled on the road losing 5 of their last 7 games away and are 1-7 last 8 games playing in Vancouver. The Canucks offense exploded in the last game vs Buffalo scoring 5 goals to win the game but they have struggled defensively allowing allowing 4.2 goals per game in their last 5 games. I expect a high scoring game and with the over cashing big time for the Canucks I think that's the best play here.
