Los Angeles vs Vancouver Analysis
The Los Angeles Kings are in search of consistent performances, experiencing ups and downs since the beginning of 2024. The team faced a tough six-game losing streak but also enjoyed a four-game winning streak. Recently, the Kings have encountered struggles, losing three out of their last four games, with each loss seeing Los Angeles allow four goals.
Known for their defensive ability, the Kings still hold a third-place ranking in the league, allowing an average of 2.67 goals per game. However, offensive challenges persist, with Los Angeles scoring just 3.03 goals per game, placing them 19th in the league. Adrian Kempe, the team’s top scorer, is currently sidelined with an injury, having contributed 32 assists and 19 goals. Trevor Moore leads the team in goals with 22.
March will see the Kings kick off with five consecutive home NHL games, facing the Devils, Canucks, Senators, Stars, and Islanders, before hitting the road to take on St. Louis on March 13th.
Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks are looking forward to reversing their recent struggles. Despite a 4-2 victory over the Red Wings on February 15th, they have faced losses in five out of their last six games, allowing more than 5 goals per game in the losses. Notably, a single game against Minnesota accounted for 10 of those goals.
J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson, and Quinn Hughes serve as the primary offensive threats for the Canucks this season.

Los Angeles Kings vs Vancouver Canucks Betting Picks
The Vancouver Canucks would love nothing more than to get back on track against a divisional foe here. The Canucks are not playing poorly, just not playing as well as they were earlier in the season. For the Kings, they are very up and down, and hard to figure out. When push comes to shove, the talent sides with the Vancouver Canucks. Their main three guys on the offensive side are some of the best in the league. We are going to take the Vancouver Canucks -140 over the Los Angeles Kings. We hope you liked our Kings vs Canucks betting picks!
- Pick: Vancouver Canucks -140.
Los Angeles Kings vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
Our final score prediction here is going to stay pretty low. The Kings would love to keep it a defensive game, and the Canucks can keep the Kings from going crazy. We are not going to take the puckline, as we feel the Kings will keep it close. So, in the end, our final score prediction is going to be the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 over the Los Angeles Kings. Good luck with your NHL picks and expect a fun game on Thursday!
