LA Kings

LA is the only team from the California trio that's made it into the playoffs recently. The Kings have a great team, and they always play well. This year is no different. They had a bit of a slump at the end of January, losing four games in a row, but they bounced back. In the last three games, they beat Carolina 4-2, Montreal 6-3, and Dallas 5-4, moving up to seventh place in the Western Conference.

Anaheim

Anaheim has been the league's underdog for the last few years, never really contending for the playoffs. Sure, the Ducks have had their moments, but they haven't been consistent enough to really challenge for the cup eight, and now it looks like their chances are slim.

But at the same time, the Californians are on fire. In their last six games, they've only lost to Calgary 1-4, and they've beaten Pittsburgh 5-1, Nashville 5-2, Seattle 6-4, Montreal 3-2, and Dallas 2-1. This has helped them climb to 12th place in the Western Conference.

H2H Meetings

In five head-to-head meetings in a row, the Ducks haven't been able to gain any points against their opponent, and they've lost four times this season. The visitors are on a good run, but the Kings have won their last three consecutive battles. So, we're going to stick with the Kings. The matches between LA and Anaheim have been pretty low-scoring recently. In the last seven head-to-head meetings, the opponents have only scored 29 goals combined (4.14 on average per game).
