Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the LAK.
The Kings have won the Stanley Cup twice in the last four seasons, while the Sharks have experienced nothing but bitter disappointment after several shocking early exits from the post-season. The Kings are likely to be a contender in the West this season, while the window of opportunity for San Jose looks like it has probably closed.
Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton are both on the downside of their careers at the age of 36, and even last year's leading scorer Joe Pavelski is on the wrong side of 30. They lost #1 goaltender Anntti Niemi, leaving them with career backups Martin Jones and Alex Stalock.
The Kings picked up Milan Lucic in the off-season, and the former Bruin is still in the prime of his career at age 27. He's a former Stanley Cup champion, with size as well as skill. For the most part, the entire group that won two championships over the last four years remains intact.
The Sharks have won just twice in their last seven against the Kings, and they are 3-14 in the last 17 meetings in Los Angeles.
Take LAK.
