Monday NHL Betting – Kings at Red Wings on Versus. The Chicago Blackhawks are favored in Friday NHL betting as they host the Vancouver Canucks.The Detroit Red Wings lead the Western Conference and they are favored in NHL betting against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. The Red Wings had been superb at home this season but they have lost two of their last three on home ice. They should still get most of the action though from gamblers making an NHL bet at Sbg global.
The Kings are coming off an overtime loss at home on Saturday night to Minnesota. It was a disappointing loss, especially since the Kings had gotten good news before the game as they added Marco Sturm to the lineup. The forward has been a good player in the NHL for a while but is coming off an injury. Los Angeles got him from Boston for future considerations. He has not played since last May. Sturm could be a huge addition and is likely to get a shot to play alongside Anze Kopitar. He has 234 career goals and 232 assists. He has 65 career goals on the power play and the Kings badly need help on the power play as they are 2 for 22 in their last five games.
Red Wings
Detroit has won two straight after losing three in a row. They routed New Jersey last time out even though they were outshot in all three periods. Chris Osgood played well in goal and the Red Wings won 4-1. Detroit is first in the league in goals scored and they are in the top 10 in goals against.
