It is integral for the Los Angeles Kings (19-16-13) and head coach Jim Hiller to pick up two points in the standings in the West in the Pacific Division on Tuesday night (Jan. 20) on home ice at Crypto Arena vs. the New York Rangers (21-23-6) from the East. Hiller and the Kings ride a three-game point streak in the West into Tuesday night's matchup early this week vs. the Rangers and former goalie Jonathan Quick.
While the Kings do have a three-game point streak in this past week in the West, all three games were decided by overtime or shootout losses for Hiller's squad in the last five days or so. It's been a double-digit number of days since the Kings last won a game on home ice at Crypto Arena.
The Kings need to move past the recent struggles in the West in this past couple of weeks to find more success on the ice in the next couple of weeks when the team starts to hit the road later this week in the next few days.
Here are the betting odds and spread information for the matchup between the Kings and Rangers on home ice at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA, in the final home game for the next two weeks on Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. PT.
