In this article, we will formulate an LA Kings vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction for this NHL game on Wednesday, November 27th, at the Crypto.Com Arena.
What a win for the Jets
It was quite the win for the Jets in the last game against the Minnesota Wild. The Wild scored only one goal against them, while the offense scored four goals on the way to the victory. Alex Iafallo had a strong game scoring two goals on the way to the win. Connor Hellebuyk had a strong game saving 43 of the 44 shots. He looked good, but the Jets need to try to limit the number of shots in this game. The Jets on the season are averaging 4.05 goals while their defense is giving up 2.36 goals per game. The offense is ranked second while the defense is ranked 1st.
Kings Blown out
The Kings in the last game faced off against the San Jose Sharks and it didn’t go well. The Kings scored two goals, but the defense gave up seven goals, and that led to the win. David Rittich was in goal and he was awful saving only 14 of the 21 shots that he faced. Anze Kopitar saved a goal and added an assist. The Kings overall are averaging 2.95 goals while their defense is giving up 2.86 goals per game. The offense is ranked 17th while the defense is ranked 11th. Anze Kopitar has scored six goals and added 19 assists so far this season. If the Kings want to find success in this game, the defense is going to need to be good, or this game will be a very long game.
