Oddsmakers currently have the Kings listed as 150-moneyline favorites versus the Coyotes, while the game's total is sitting at 5½.

The Coyotes enter this contest with just two wins in 11 games since the All-Star break. They'd lost a season-high six straight in Phoenix, including the first three on a four-game homestand.

It took eight shooters apiece before Daniel Carcillo gave the Coyotes a 4-3 shootout victory over the Thrashers on Thursday, as -145 favorites. The combined score went as a PUSH against the posted over/under (6).

Joakim Lindstrom, Viktor Tikhonov, and Steven Goertzen scored in regulation.

Los Angeles (25-23-9) has played nine of its last 13 games on the road, posting a 7-2-0 record in those contests. The Kings carried a season-high five-game road winning streak into Thursday's game at San Jose Sharks, but fell 4-2 in their fourth defeat in five games overall as +300 road underdogs. The six goals made it OVER the posted over/under (5.5).

Michal Handzus and Alexander Frolov scored in a losing effort.
