Rely On Guentzel, Foegele Finding Scoresheet in High-Scoring Kings Bolts Matchup

Saturday is the best night of the week for NHL action with many marquee matchups that fans wait all week to watch. The most exciting matchup on the slate appears to be a showdown between two elite teams in their respective conferences with the LA Kings hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both teams have winning pedigrees with multiple Stanley Cups in recent years and should culminate in a great game. We look to improve on some of our impressive records like 31-27 record on unders and our 7-3 record in our last ten player prop picks.

Bet: Kings ML (-125), Lightning Kings Over 5.5 goals (-135), Warren Foegele Over 0.5 points (+150), Jake Guentzel Over 0.5 points (-175)

The Kings are quietly one of the hottest teams in the NHL with an 11-2-2 record and the league's best goals against average at 2.07 over their last 15 games. They have been unstoppable as they've topped some of the best teams like the Oilers, Devils, Wild, Jets and Stars. Their defensive prowess still perplexes even the best offences in the league and it will be tested once again against the Bolts.

Tampa Bay has the best offence in the NHL with a 3.86 goals per game average that only improves to 3.94 when traveling on the road. Despite their resounding success on the offensive end, they enter Saturday having lost two straight and will look to rebound on the road, where they are 9-7-1 on the season.

Their road defence may hold them back as they rank 19th in goals against average at 3.18 and in their last two trips to LA, they were narrowly outscored eight to five. Both matchups totalled over six goals which we should expect in this one as well as the Kings shutting things down when they need to so they can ensure the tight victory.

We look to hopefully catch Warren Foegele while he's still red hot after recording four goals and six assists for ten points in his last eight games. We get him at a stellar value ahead of this game and should see him continue to solidifying himself in the Kings top six.

For the Bolts, it's hard to go away from the stellar play of Nikita Kucherov this season as he's near the top in scoring once again with 17 goals and 37 assists for 54 points in 33 games. His line with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel has been possibly the league's best with the trio combining for 60 goals and leaves Guentzel as a great option to syphon off the production of the line.

The two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Penguins, has 13 goals and six assists for 19 points in his last 15 games, which makes the odds of him to get on the scoresheet pretty favourable.
