Both teams have struggled to find consistency this year – both have been just average and each enters Tuesday night’s clash having gone 1-2-1 in their last four games.
Boston
The Boston Bruins played last night – a 3-2 loss in Anaheim in a game that goal scoring was an issue again.
[dfads params=’groups=64160&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The team has scored a total of just six goals in their last four games and has failed to net more than two in a game over that span. That leaves Boston 22nd in the league in scoring – just 2.44 goals per game.
Injuries continue to plague the Bruins – they will be without core guys Zdeno Chara and David Krejci once again Tuesday night. Fill-ins Torey Krug is pointless in his last five games and Reilly Smith hasn’t hit the score sheet in his last nine contests.
To make things a tad more grim is the fact that Tuukka Rask may not be available Tuesday after getting the start Monday in Anaheim. Rask is 3-2-1 in his last six games with a 1.66 GAA and .947 save percentage! His backup Niklas Svedberg is 1-1-0 in his last two starts with an ugly 3.84 GAA and .871 save percentage.

Los Angeles
The LA Kings will be happy to be at home Tuesday night where they have been one of the best this season – 10-3-1. But this team has struggled to score goals lately as well – particularly in the first period when they have scored just once in their last four outings.
The Kings could use more from Anze Kopitar who is struggling to say the least. He is pointless in five games – hardly believable for this caliber of player. Meanwhile Tyler Toffoli has just one point in his last six games and Tanner Pearson is pointless in three games.
LA’s game is predicated on its depth and balance – something that isn’t exactly happening right now! The Kings aren’t getting nearly enough scoring right now and they have been set back even more by…
a struggling Jonathan Quick. He is an uncharacteristic 0-2-0 in his last two starts with a 4.07 GAA and .830 save percentage.

Quick was 5-0-2 prior to his current skid.
NHL Gambling Trends
• BOS are 17-5 in their last 22 vs. Pacific.
• BOS are 8-3 in their last 11 Tue. games.
• BOS are 9-4 in their last 13 overall.
• Under is 5-2-2 in LA last 9 vs. Atlantic.
• LA are 67-30 in their last 97 home games.
The Bruins and the Kings will likely continue to put the puck in the back of the net Tuesday night – the Under is certainly in play. But I am going with the Kings in this game – they have been terrific on home ice this year and look like the more balanced team at this point of the season.
