Line: Los Angeles Kings vs. Anaheim Ducks – view all NHL lines

It’s going to be one heck of a hockey game later tonight at Honda Center, as two streaking California teams in the form of the Kings and the Ducks collide in Anaheim. The Kings are riding a three-game win streak, a stretch that includes their 2-1 win over Edmonton on Thursday. The Kings have relied mostly on their defense of late, as they’ve allowed just three total goals during that span. Anaheim, meanwhile, has been even hotter with the team on a seven-game win streak. The Ducks also victimized Edmonton (2-1 in overtime) in their most recent outing. They’ve averaged 3.8 goals over their last seven games. The Kings are 5-5 in their last 10 road games, while the Ducks are 8-2 in their last 10 at home.
