When Chicago and Los Angeles look across the ice at each other on Sunday, they’ll both think they have a very winnable game on their hands. Each squad will be playing on the back end of a back-to-back.
The Blackhawks may have an edge in terms of the 0 days rest considering they are at home but also because their game on Saturday was an early one.
Los Angeles Kings
LA is in last place in the Pacific heading into Sunday’s matchup at the United Center. The Kings will be in action on Saturday night against Minnesota in what may be another winnable affair. LA is a +115 underdog vs. the Wild.
The Kings haven’t played completely horrible as of late, winning 2 of 3 prior to the game in St. Paul. That includes a 4-1 win at Staples vs. Calgary and a 3-2 victory at Winnipeg in which LA was an underdog in both.
The Kings did lose their last game prior to Minnesota as well, an expected 2-5 defeat at St. Louis. LA has played some bad defense this year (30th in goals against) but luckily for them so has Chicago.

The thing about the Kings defense is it’s not that bad in terms of limiting opponents opportunities with just 28 SOG allowed per game (2nd best in NHL). It’s the thing that nearly 4 of those sneak into the net per game.
Both teams will likely turn to their 2nd string goaltenders in this one (O/U 6) and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. For LA that probably means Jack Campbell in net. He has a GAA under 3 on the year, but 3 of 4 appearances have been at home.
Chicago Blackhawks
Chicago has had a hard time getting things going this season. From the season opening game in Prague to a 2-5 recent home stand things aren’t looking good for the ‘Hawks.
The Blackhawks are already 11 points out in the Central thanks to the hot start by the Colorado Avalanche. Sunday’s game may be the last chance for Chicago to get a win in awhile as they embark on a 4-game road trip next.
Chicago was shut out on Saturday 0-4 by Carolina. Despite an offense that features Patrick Kane, Alex Debrincat, and Jonathan Toews, Chicago has now scored a total of 2 goals in their last 3 games.

Corey Crawford started in net for Chicago on Saturday, stopping only 4 of 31 shots from the Hurricanes. 2 Carolina goals were on the power play those as the ‘Hawks have the worst defense in the NHL in penalty minutes.
Many Blackhawk fans don’t think it’s a bad thing that it’s Robin Lehner in net on Sunday. He did get rocked for 4 goals by the Flyers in his last start, but has a respectable 2.44 GAA and a .922 save percentage that is better than Crawford’s .888.

Free Chicago Blackhawks vs. Los Angeles Kings NHL Prediction:
This game is a bit tougher to handicap with both squads being on the back-to-back. If Chicago doesn’t get the win as -135 home favorites though they might as well already become sellers.
