The Los Angeles Kings will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation when they visit the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Los Angeles is coming off a 3-2 victory over the Islanders on Friday, marking the fourth time in the last 5 contests that this team has scored at least 3 goals. With L.A.’s offense in decent form and New Jersey having emerged from its power outage, my Kings vs Devils pick is Over 5.5. Darcy Kuemper was the Kings’ goalie on Friday, which means Anton Forsberg will almost certainly get the nod on Saturday. Forsberg’s season save percentage of .904 is nothing special and 4 of his last 5 appearances have resulted in at least 6 goals being scored — including 2 games with 9 goals and another with 10 (a 6-4 setback against Las Vegas on February 25).

Another relatively high-scoring affair for Anton and company should be in store against New Jersey. The Devils returned from the Winter Olympics break and scored 1 goal in each of their first 2 games — both losses. Heading into Saturday, however, they have lit the lamp at least 4 times in 4 of their last 5 outings. Gold-medal hero Jack Hughes has scored 4 goals (including a hat trick) and dished out 2 assists in the past 3 contests. Luke Hughes has delivered an assist in 3 of the last 4 games and he also scored once during Thursday’s 5-4 loss to Calgary. Count on both teams contributing to the over in this matchup.

Kings vs Devils prediction: Over 5.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
