Few teams have been as impressive as the Los Angeles Kings have been this NHL season.

Through their first 20 games, they're sitting with a 13-4-3 record, sitting five points back from the Vegas Golden Knights for the top spot in the Pacific Division with four games in hand.

There are a few teams with better records in the league, but I'd make the argument from an analytics and metrics standpoint, the kings may just be the best team in the NHL.

As a result, we should all be betting on them to win the Stanley Cup before the oddsmakers catch on to just how good this team is.

Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup Odds

The Los Angeles Kings are available at +1300 to win the Stanley Cup and there are still several teams ahead of them on the odds list. I predict that won't last long, so it's time to be on the Kings before it's too late.

Yes, their record is good, but it's their metrics and advanced analytics where they're even more impressive. Let's take a look at where they rank in a handful of key areas:

  • CORSI%: 5th
  • FENWICK%: 4th
  • Expected goals for per 60 minutes: 2nd
  • Expected goals against per 60 minutes: 2nd
  • Expected goal differential per 60 minutes: 1st
  • High-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes: 7th
  • High-danger scoring chances allowed per 60 minutes: 1st
  • Shooting percentage: 3rd
  • Save percentage: 6th
  • Actual goals per 60 minutes: 2nd
  • Actual goals against per 60 minutes: 1st

As you can see, the Kings rank amongst the best in the NHL in every single one of the above mentioned categories. Whether it's an advanced metric like CORSI%, FENWICK%, or expected goals, or if it's straight-forward stats like shooting percentage and save percentage, the Kings sit near the top in the league.
