New Jersey Devils vs. Los Angeles Kings

Kings Moneyline -104

The New Jersey Devils and the Los Angeles Kings will open the new year as the only duel on the NHL calendar. The Kings enter this competition as one of the league’s elite home teams. They have compiled a dominant 12-2-1 record in their stable this season. Add to that the fact that the Kings have a record of 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, and you can understand the appeal of looking their way when they’re slight underdogs at home.

Anze Kopitar All-Time Goalscorer +340

The Kings have quietly gone about their business again this season and appear to be a top playoff team. Anze Kopitar remains an influential player for the Kings on both ends of the ice. Kopitar has 39 points this season and appears to have dialed things back offensively. Kopitar has already scored 12 goals this year and you can count on him to lead by example in this competition against a star-studded Devils squad. Kopitar’s goal scorer stands out on Wednesday.

Under 5.5 goals +100

The Kings and Devils met earlier this season in New Jersey, a game in which the Devils won 3-1. The Kings are one of only seven NHL teams to have allowed fewer than 100 goals this season. Since the Kings are playing at home to start the new year, they will control the matchups in this game. While both teams have plenty of attacking power, Sheldon Keefe and Jim Hiller will have no trouble playing a close, defensive-focused game, which is what we’re aiming for here.
