Jeff Carter (eight points in the series) and the Kings have sliced through Corey Crawford and the Chicago defense with 10 goals in the last two games. The total has gone over in four of the Kings’ last five home games vs. the Blackhawks.
Chicago has not been impressive at all away from home in the playoffs, and will need to shore up its backline in LA if it wants to tie this series. The Blackhawks are 2-5 on the road in the playoffs.
Writer’s Prediction
The LA offense proves too strong once again. Take the Kings -135 in Game 4 at home.
