The Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings will face off in a clash of two of the league’s top teams. The Avalanche’s record is 48-28-4, which places them third in the Central Division, while the Kings’ record is 45-24-9.
With just two games remaining in the 2024-25 season, the Colorado Avalanche have secured their playoff position and are preparing to face Dallas in the first round.
As they head to Los Angeles for a Saturday afternoon match, coach Jared Bednar has opted to rest several key players, including Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Devon Toews.
The Avalanche previously won their first two meetings with the Kings this season, making this an opportune moment for Los Angeles to finally secure a victory against their Western Conference rival.
The Kings have four games left this season and have been performing well lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games.
Their top line is thriving, with newcomer Andrei Kuzmenko effectively complementing Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe.
Since his arrival from Philadelphia, Kuzmenko has scored five goals and provided nine assists for a total of 14 points in 18 games.
Additionally, Los Angeles is in a favorable situation, playing their fourth consecutive home game and their seventh at home in the last eight outings.
If they can avoid underestimating a weakened Avalanche team, the Kings should claim a victory in this matchup.
Take the Kings to win in regulation at -115 odds as the best bet in this one.
