Los Angeles Kings at San Jose Sharks
The Kings won last night in convincing fashion 4-0 against Phoenix. They will be playing their fourth game in six days and sixth in their last 11 days. In short, this team might be getting a bit tired. Also, I would expect Martin Jones gets the start against San Jose in this one, which kind of downgrades their chances (I know what his save percentage is). They have also given up three power play goals against in their last three games.
San Jose has gone just 2-2-2 in their last six games but have only been outshot once in their last 10 games (and that was a one-shot margin to Winnipeg). In other words, I think the team has been playing better than their record indicates of late.
One guy that I really like tonight is Dan Boyle. He’s seemingly more involved in the offense over the last week or so and he’s solidified himself as the lone defenseman on the top power play unit. That’s a prime position to be in at his price.
Los Angeles has won three of four games against the Sharks this year and that is a pretty impressive mark. I do think that the Sharks take this one tonight though, even if it’s a close game. I’m ok with Antti Niemi in net (though he’s not my top choice) and a player or two for 50/50s from the Sharks.
