Kings vs. Canucks

Analysis

The 62.5% odds undervalue Kings against NHL's worst team. Canucks are on 11-game losing streak with league-worst 2.53 GPG offense and missing starting goalie Demko (season-ending hip injury). Kings hold 24-point advantage, won last 4 at Rogers Arena, and despite recent OT losses still maintain superior 2.93 GAA defense vs Canucks' awful 3.71. Canucks have just 8 home wins all season and 12 losses in last 13 vs losing opponents - they're in full collapse mode. Kings' road strength at this venue (4-0 recent record) combined with Canucks' goaltending crisis and offensive struggles creates favorable matchup. Market appears to be giving Canucks too much home ice credit despite overwhelming evidence pointing to continuation of their historic slide.
