Los Angeles Kings DFS Spin
Cal Petersen stopped 17-of-19 shots in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes. It was a relatively quiet night in terms of workload from Petersen as he only faced 19 shots throughout the entire game. However, the two goals scored by the Coyotes were nice ones and kept the game interesting as Scott Wedgewood stood on his head on the other end of the ice. Petersen owns a 13-7-1 record with a 2.68 goals-against average and .898 save percentage.
Anaheim Ducks DFS Spin
Anthony Stolarz stopped 40-of-43 shots in Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout win over the San Jose Sharks. Along with Rickard Rakell’s two regulation goals, Stolarz was the main reason why the Ducks were able to come away with the victory. The 28-year-old was under siege for most of the game and stood up when his team needed him most to force the game into overtime and eventually a shootout. Stolarz owns an 8-5-1 record with a 2.73 goals-against average and .920 save percentage.
Kings vs. Ducks Betting Prediction
The over has cashed in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams in Anaheim, is 13-6-1 in the Kings’ last 20 games as a road favorite and is 6-1 in L.A.’s last seven games overall. On the other side, the over is 5-0 in the Ducks’ last five games overall, is 6-0 in their last six games as an underdog and is 5-0 in their last five games versus a team with a winning record.
