Los Angeles Kings vs. New Jersey Devils
March 3, 2024
The New Jersey Devils (30-26-4) and Los Angeles Kings (30-19-10) square off in non-conference action on Sunday, March 3 at 3:30 PM ET at crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The Kings are slight favorites to find the path to victory with a moneyline at -130.
New Jersey Devils Betting Preview
The Devils are coming off of a loss to the Anaheim Ducks at 4-3 in their latest showing. They are now 2-3 in their last five games and need to find consistency.
They are respectable on the road, with a 16-11-2 road record and the chance to improve against a quality team. However, they do not have the best momentum coming into this.
They maintain an average of 3.35 goals per game and a 22.7 percent success rate on power plays. Their offense has a great lineup, which consists of Tyler Toffoli leading with 26 goals, Jesper Bratt adding 40 assists, and Jack Hughes has taken 215 shots on goal.
Defensively, they allow 3.47 goals per game and successfully defend against 79.4 percent of opponent power plays. Their defense has appealing members on board, with Vitek Vanecek faced 862 shots, allowing 95 goals, while Akira Schmid, with 418 shots, conceded 44 goals.
Los Angeles Kings Betting Preview
The Kings recently triumphed over the Vancouver Canucks to end their two-game skid, but faced defeats against the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers that were by two goals each. They have gone 2-3 in their last five games.
They are 11-10-6 at home, which shows they are essentially a coin flip to get the job done. Looking at their numbers on both sides of the puck, they have an appealing opportunity for victory.
They maintain an average of 3.07 goals per game, with a 22.6 percent success rate on their power play opportunities. Trevor Moore leads the team with 23 goals, Kevin Fiala has put up 34 assists, and Adrian Kempe has taken 184 shots on goal. Together, they offer a quick look inside their success.
On the defensive front, the Kings allow an average of 2.64 goals per game and successfully thwart 86.1 percent of their opponent's power plays. Cam Talbot has conceded 88 goals on 1,026 shots, while David Rittich has allowed 39 goals on 455 shots.
Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
The latest NHL odds from MyBookie reveal that the Los Angeles Kings are slight contenders for success. The last meeting between these two was back in February, with the Kings winning 2-1 on the road.
The Kings are not quite as appealing at home in comparison to the Devils on the road. However, the Kings offered a better defense and they looked great in their first meeting against the Devils the last time they played.
Final Pick: Los Angeles Kings -130
