T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks.

I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Ducks have won 2 games in a row and I think they can extend that run to 3 games here. They have been scoring a lot of goals lately and I think they will do the same as they start to gain some momentum playing on home ice after coming back from a road trip. The Kings are also on a road trip here and they have won 3 games in a row, all 3 games of their road trip. This is the last road game for them before returning home and with the game being so close to home I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. They did not look good in their 3 wins and they must be exhausted from playing those games. They won their 1st game in Vegas going past regulation to get that win. Then they played the Coyotes in Arizona 2 games in a row and they did not look that impressive, winning 1 of those 5-3 but their most recent game was 3-2 and they came from behind in that game. I think the Kings are going to be out of gas here and the Ducks should be able to take advantage of that on their home ice. I like the Ducks to win this game and end the run the Kings are on.

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Ducks.
