Online Hockey Betting Previews Washington Capitals vs. Los Angeles Kings![]() Despite being second in the Pacific Division, team captain Alexander Ovechkin & Co. are still being pegged as the online hockey betting underdog in tonight’s Washington Capitals vs. Los Angeles Kings. Both teams have been struggling as of late, but at least Washington ranks within the top-3 of their division. Let’s take a look at some 2 team teaser options off of tonight’s contest. Washington Capitals vs. Los Angeles Kings – Thursday, March 8thWhen: 10:30 pm ET Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California TV: Local Broadcasts Stream: NHL TV Online Hockey Betting Odds:
Washington Capitals
All in all, these two teams matchup pretty well against one another. The Kings undoubtedly have the upper hand on defense since they enter with the NHL’s 2nd best defensive unit. However, the opposite is true on offense. Clearly, Washington’s 11th ranked scoring offense is superior to Washington’s 16th ranked unit. But in the end, Washington will need a valiant effort from Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and even John Carlson if they are to outscore such a dominant defense. Los Angeles Kings
All things considered, Washington might be the better betting option this evening. The Kings boast tremendous talent in Dustin Brown and Drew Doughty. However, the real strength of this team is in their keeper Jack Campbell, who has a brilliant 1.00 goals against average. But will that be enough to stop Washington’s dynamic versatility? It seems unlikely. But then again, the Kings did triumph over Washington 5-2 back in November. Maybe Los Angeles is the way to go this evening.
