MONTREAL CANADIENS VS LA KINGS BEST BETS: * undefined * undefined * undefined The Habs are coming off a narrow 4-3 victory over the Sharks on Tuesday, where they had to battle to the very end against one of the worst team's in the league. It wasn't a great sign for Montreal fans as it was their first win in six games after losing five straight. The Kings have also experienced a losing skid with a 3-7-1 record in their last 11 games. After looking like a contender early on in the season, LA has started to slide and now find themselves with a 27-17-6 record and just one point ahead of the aggressive Calgary Flames, who occupy the second wild card spot.

LA is 15-3-1 at home this season with wins in 10 of their last 11 games at Crypto.com Arena. This will certainly be a challenge for a Habs team that is 12-13-1 on the road this season but they may be able to keep it closer than people expect. Montreal has been a solid betting team all season long with a 30-23 record against the spread this season and a 14-12 record on the road. The Kings have beat the Habs in seven straight matchups, including a 4-1 victory earlier this season. Montreal will be hungry for a win in this spot and I expect them to bring the offence as it's expected that Darcy Kuemper will get the crease for the Kings. The 34-year-old netminder has a stellar 2.16 goals against average this season but has allowed three or more goals in three of his last four career starts against the Canadiens.

He should help lift the Habs offence in a big way and surprise a lot of the public, expecting Montreal to lay an egg in this game. The public is all over the Kings as they garner 86 per cent of the moneyline bets. I like the hungry underdog in this spot as everyone will be doubting the Habs when they will be looking to carry over momentum and build off their Tuesday win with a solid effort that should help them at minimum cover the puck line.
