Chicago, coming off its third straight loss, has put things in cruise control as the playoff near and the team finishes the season in Los Angeles against the Kings.
The Kings, coming off a 4-1 loss to Calgary, finish the disappointing season at home against the Blackhawks.
Chicago Blackhawks
Since clinching the top seed in the Western Conference, Chicago has been resting its major guys off and on. Who knows if Kane, Toews, or Hossa will play in this final game. My guess is no.

The Blackhawks will look to keep everyone healthy, which will be key to a deep playoff run. Because of that, wins aren’t important right now, which is why Chicago has lost three straight games.
On the injury front, Artem Anisimov is still sidelined with a leg injury and Niklas Hjalmarsson is away from the team for the birth of his child and his status for Saturday’s game is unknown.
Los Angeles Kings
A very disappointing season comes to a close on Saturday night and the Kings will hope to finish on a high note. LA will need the offense to show up in this one, something that hasn’t happened a lot this season.
The Kings rank 27th in goals scored and it’s been the team’s downfall, despite having a pretty decent defense, one that ranks 5th in goals against in the NHL.

Jeff Carter will look to add a point or two to his impressive tally this season. He has 32 goals and 31 assists on the year, including a goal and an assist over his last five games.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Chicago is 3-6 ATS in the last nine games
- Los Angeles is 5-2 SU in the last seven games at home against Chicago
