Canucks Begin Three Game Road Trip Against their Kryptonite – the Kings<\/strong><\/p>\n The Vancouver Canucks begin a difficult stretch of three games away from Rogers Arena Monday when they pay a visit to the Los Angeles Kings – a team that has had Vancouver’s number over the last couple of years and has won all three meetings so far this season. <\/p>\n CLICK TO GRAB OUR BEST Expert NHL Picks for 2014 HOCKEY Betting!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Vancouver (24-13-3-6) at Los Angeles (27-14-2-3)<\/strong> Matchup<\/a> | *Insiders* Preview<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out our in-house NHL Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s NHL Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Canucks (24-13-9), who are two points behind Los Angeles for third place in the Pacific Division, are coming off a 2-1 win versus St. Louis after five straight losses while the Kings have lost seven of nine and are coming off a 3-1 loss at Staples Center to the Red Wings.<\/p>\n Perhaps the biggest news out of Vancouver is that Roberto Luongo and Alex Edler could be in the lineup Monday – two huge cogs for the Canucks. Luongo is 16-10-6 with a 2.23 goals-against average and .922 save percentage in 33 games this season – his presence has been missed and Edler is the #1 defenseman that the team has been lacking.<\/p>\n Their availability isn’t known but over the past four games, Henrik Sedin has five assists and Daniel Sedin has four, Chris Higgins has a goal and two assists in the past four and the promotion of Zac Dalpe to the top line has somehow worked. Vancouver’s depth will be tested – Mike Santorelli who has one point in six games and David Booth who is pointless in five have to step up in order for the Canucks to have a chance. Jonathan Quick looks to be back to form after returning from injury. He was in net the last time these teams played. Quick is an elite guy who is 12-6-1 with a 2.22 GAA and .909 save percentage this year – he has stopped 64 of 67 shots in the last three meetings between the teams and seems to have Vancouver’s number.<\/p>\n A few trends to consider:<\/strong> The Vancouver Canucks don’t love to play the Kings – at all! The physicality and the pace of the game always seems to get out of hand for Vancouver against LA. Depth is the key here – the Kings have way more!<\/p>\n Pick:<\/strong> LA Kings -155<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Canucks vs Kings NHL Line & Handicapping Canucks Begin Three Game Road Trip Against their Kryptonite – the Kings The Vancouver Canucks begin a difficult stretch of three games away from Rogers Arena Monday when they pay a visit to the Los Angeles Kings – a team that has had Vancouver’s number over the last […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":68834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[2288,28057,4170,22695,36403,5199,5198,28059,28060],"class_list":["post-71643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","tag-canucks","tag-canucks-vs-kings","tag-kings","tag-l-a","tag-l-a-kings","tag-vancouver","tag-vancouver-canucks","tag-vancouver-canucks-vs-l-a-kings","tag-vancouver-vs-l-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71643"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71657,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71643\/revisions\/71657"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nThe Kings may be ripe for the picking – 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. The offense has gone south – the Kings have scored two or fewer goals seven times over the last nine games – yuk. Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams have four goals combined in their last nine games – not good enough for a team renowned for its depth. Jeff Carter has been the one constant for this team – 16 points in his last 15 games.<\/p>\nDave’s FREE NHL Betting Prediction<\/h3>\n
