Korpisalo allowed 2 goals on 26 shots in his team debut with the Kings against the St. Louis Blues Saturday. He has won 4 of his past 5 starts dating back to Feb. 16, when he was a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

King at Avalanche picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 4, Avalanche 3

Moneyline

The KINGS (+140) have been red-hot lately, and Los Angeles already topped the Avalanche (-160) in the 1st of 3 regular-season meetings.

L.A. has won 4 in a row, while going an impressive 16-5 in the past 21 games against Western Conference foes.

Puck line/Against the spread

The KINGS +1.5 (-180) are right at my personal limit for a singular bet, and if you need insurance it isn’t priced out of line. Still, I’d rather just bet the Kings on the moneyline at plus-money.

However, the Kings have cashed at a 5-1 clip on the puck line in the past 6 games as an underdog.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (+105) is worth a look at plus-money.

The Over has dominated for L.A. lately, going 15-7-2 in the past 24 games overall, while cashing at an 8-2 clip in the past 10 road outings. The Over is also 9-4-1 in the past 14 games against teams with a winning overall record.

For Colorado, the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games at home, although the Over cashed in the 1st meeting this season with the Kings, and the Over has hit in 4 straight home games against L.A.

Washington Capitals at Los Angeles Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Washington Capitals at Los Angeles Kings odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Capitals (31-27-6) wrap up a 4-game road trip Monday against the Los Angeles Kings (36-20-8). Puck drop at Crypto.com Arena is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Capitals vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Capitals destroyed the San Jose Sharks 8-3 Saturday, cashing the Over (6.5) by themselves. Washington’s offense has been rejuvenated lately, going for 21 goals over the past 4 outings after managing just 12 goals in a 7-game stretch from Feb. 11-23.

The Kings enter on a 3-game win streak, although 2 of the outings are 1-goal games. Four of the past 5 victories for Los Angeles have been by just a single goal — with two actually coming in the shootout.

Capitals at Kings projected goalies

Darcy Kuemper (19-19-4, 2.77 GAA, .910 SV%, 5 SO) vs. Joonas Korpisalo (12-11-3, 3.13 GAA, .913 SV%)

Kuemper turned aside 38 of 41 shots in Saturday’s victory in San Jose, and he is 2-0-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .922 SV% in 2 starts in March. He allowed 3 goals on 26 shots in a 4-3 win against the Kings on Oct. 22.

Korpisalo allowed 2 goals on 26 shots in his Kings debut against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday after he was acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets Wednesday ahead of the trade deadline.

Korpisalo faced the Capitals as a member of the Blue Jackets on Jan. 31, allowing 4 goals on 34 shots in a 4-3 OT loss in Columbus.

Capitals at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 4, Capitals 3

Moneyline

The KINGS (-160) are moderate favorites and are a solid play.

L.A. has won 5 straight at home, and 4 of the past 5 games overall. The Kings are also 8-3 in the past 11 games when playing on a single day of rest.

Washington is still just 3-7 in the past 10 games against teams with a winning record and is 1-4 in the past 5 on a single day of rest. The Caps have also won just 3 times in the past 11 trips to Los Angeles, with the underdog just 2-6 in the past 8 in the series.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Capitals +1.5 (-180) are right at my personal limit for a singular bet. If you need insurance, and really like Washington, it’s okay to play this as a half-unit bet. But playing the Caps straight up would be a much better value. Personally, I’d PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-105) is the lean, and the Kings are driving the play based on recent trends.

The Over is 15-6-2 in the past 23 games overall for the Kings, 9-3 in their last 12 against Eastern Conference foes and 14-4 in the past 18 against Metropolitan Division teams.

The Caps have cashed the Under at a 5-2-1 clip in the past 8 against winning teams. However, the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall for Washington, whose rejuvenated offense is averaging 5.25 goals per game during that span.

Los Angeles Kings at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Kings at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Kings (33-20-8) wrap up a 5-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets (35-24-1) Tuesday at Canada Life Centre. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Kings were spanked on the road against the New York Rangers Sunday, falling 5-2. Los Angeles is just 1-2-1 in the first 4 games of the road trip. The Kings lost the first meeting in L.A. by a 6-4 score back on Oct. 27 as the Over connected.

The Jets have had a power outage lately, dropping 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6 games overall. Winnipeg has managed just 2 total goals in the past 3 outings, and it has 2 or fewer goals in 5 of the past 6 outings. The Under is 10-0-2 in the past 12 games overall, while going 16-1-2 in the past 19.

Kings at Jets projected goalies

Pheonix Copley (17-4-2, 2.74 GAA, .901 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (26-18-1, 2.46 GAA, .923 SV%, 3 SO)

Copley was summoned off the bench Sunday against the Rangers, and he allowed 2 goals on 14 shots. He has been sharp in the month of February, going 2-1-1 with a 2.09 GAA and .920 SV% with a shutout in 5 starts and that lone relief appearance.

Hellebuyck coughed up 5 goals on just 26 shots in a loss against the Colorado Avalanche last time out Friday. The goal total was the highest since he allowed 6 goals Jan. 10. He has a poor 2-3-0 record in 5 starts in February, but he still has a solid 2.60 GAA and .925 SV%. He has received just 2.4 goals per game (GPG) of offensive support this month.

Kings at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Kings 2

Moneyline

The JETS (-145) are moderate favorites, but playing Winnipeg comes with plenty of risk. It has had a lot of trouble lighting the lamp lately, and Copley will certainly make it difficult for the Jets offense to snap out of its funk.

Still, the Kings (+125) have managed just 1 win in the past 5 meetings, while going 5-12 in the past 17 trips to Winnipeg.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Kings +1.5 (-210) have been steamed up out of range. And the Jets -1.5 (+170) are anything but a slam-dunk to win, as Winnipeg has dropped 5 of the past 6 games overall, while total just 9 goals during the span.

PASS.

Over/Under

The UNDER 5.5 (+115) is worth a play at plus-money, especially since Copley has been playing so well, and the Jets offense has been struggling to score.

The Under is 9-2 in the past 11 meetings in this series, with the Under going 5-1 in the past 6 meetings at Canada Life Centre.
