Los Angeles Kings Continue Long And Winding Road Trip Against The Pittsburgh Penguins

The Los Angeles Kings

BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NHL and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

The Kings are about to get into the heavy part of a long trip on the NHL highway. The road trip is so long that they actually had time to go home in between games. The Kings will play the third of 10 consecutive road games on Thursday at Pittsburgh, but after Saturday's game at Calgary, they were able to fly home for the start of three consecutive days of rest and practice. That rest may come in handy against Pittsburgh.

This game could be crucial if they want to end this trip with a winning record. Starting with the Pittsburgh game, the Kings play three games in four nights, on the road, against quality opponents, as the trip also includes games against Washington and Philadelphia. Then, after a two-day break, the schedule resumes again with three games in four nights against Columbus and the two New York teams. It will be tough to finish above .500, but they could beat an injured Penguins team.

The Penguins are vulnerable due to injuries. With nine of their next 12 games on the road, the Penguins could be in danger of losing their current fourth spot place in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins have tried a new approach to winning hockey games as they use defense to make up for a lack of offensive firepower.

Most notable on the injured list is Sidney Crosby but third-leading scorer Chris Kunitz, is also missing, hurting the offense.

The Kings are 5-1 in their last six games playing on 3 or more days rest and 5-1 in thelast six overall.

The Kings need to start the road trip off with a win and the Penguins are ripe for the picking.
