NHL Odds- Chicago Blackhawks at Los Angeles Kings, Game 3

The Los Angeles Kings stunned the Chicago Blackhawks in game two, and now they want to keep their good momentum going as they host game three at the Staples Center, this Saturday at 8 PM ET.

Game two was a weird game that had the Kings losing by one in the third, but finished with a 6-2 victory by Los Angeles.

“We’ve said a million times, not everything is going to go your way all the time,” Blackhawks Corey Crawford said Friday after practice at Staples Center. “So we’ve got to keep playing hard, keep playing the way you can.”

The Kings needs to take advantage of the momentum; Los Angeles hasn’t been that good against Chicago and needs to cash in on their building.

“We have no doubt that (Game 2) hasn’t affected them,” Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said. “They’re one of the strongest teams mentally in the league.”

“They’re the defending Stanley Cup champions, and we’re well aware of how good a team they are, but also how they’re able to battle adversity,” Kings captain Dustin Brown said. “If we had given up six unanswered goals, we know how we would want to respond to that.”

The Kings are -1.5 favorites in the puck line, and the game total was set at 5 goals.  The money line has Los Angeles -128 and Chicago +113. Chicago is 7-2 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against Los Angeles.
