San Jose +210 over Los Angeles

10:07 PM ET. OT included. This price is built on perception, not separation. Los Angeles strings together two wins over Minnesota and suddenly we’re supposed to treat the Kings like a team that’s turned the corner. Context matters. Those wins came with razor-thin margins, heavy reliance on goaltending, and now a lineup dealing with injuries to key forwards. The market is buying the idea of traction. We’re selling it.

San Jose, quietly, is playing its best hockey of the season. Four wins in five games, last year’s win total already surpassed, and a group that’s actually skating with confidence. Macklin Celebrini is riding an 11-game point streak, the power play is showing up at the right moments, and this team isn’t showing up just to keep it close anymore. They’re pushing pace and cashing chances.

Here’s the kicker: Yaroslav Askarov has already proven he can handle this matchup. Two starts against the Kings this season, one regulation loss by a single goal and one shootout win, and neither game suggested a talent gap between these teams. If this number were honest, we wouldn’t be staring at north of +200.
