Monday night, January 7th brings you an exciting Pacific Division NHL battle as the Los Angeles Kings travel to the SAP Center to take on the San Jose Sharks. Both teams were winners last time out as the Kings beat Edmonton 4-0 and the Sharks downed the red hot Lightning 5-2. LA won the last meeting between these two a couple weeks back and would love that momentum to carry into this game. We will have to wait and see.
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings come into this game winners of only two of their last five games as they continue to try and creep their way back up to the .500 level on the year. Unfortunately, they have a long way to go to reach that plateau, and a win here on Monday night won’t be an easy task at all. The Kings have lost six out of the last 10 head to head matchups with San Jose.

San Jose Sharks
San Jose is riding a fairly good stretch of hockey into this game having won four out of their last five games, including knocking Tampa Bay back down to reality on Saturday night. With their 13-4-4 record at home, another win here against the struggling Kings looks to be an almost certainty at this point.

Free Los Angeles Kings vs. San Jose Sharks NHL Prediction:
Both of these teams are coming off of big wins over the weekend, but only one of them has been playing good throughout the season up to this point. And, frankly, I don’t see the Sharks coming down any time soon. LA won in overtime back on December 22nd, but the Sharks will win this one on home ice.
Take the Sharks to win this game, and seeing how their last few games have gone, take the OVER while you’re at it. They should have no problem beating the Kings by two goals, so the spread should be a safe bet as well.
