Only the Rangers have been worse at home than the Kings this season. LA is 1-6 at home and hosting the Bruins, who are the more rested team and playing well. Boston is 8-3 in its last 11 games.

The Kings just finished a six-game, 11-day road swing with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks in San Jose last night.

Now the Kings have to play without rest and with very little time to have gotten acclimated to being back home.

Given the Kings’ poor start at home and being in a bad situational spot and considering how well Boston has been playing, I have to look at the underdog Bruins here at this enticingly large price.
