Whenever Ottawa is favored I have to seriously look at the other side.
The underdog Kings are a fit. They have a winning road mark. They also have revenge for a 3-2 overtime home loss to the Senators from Nov. 27.
So the Kings won't be lacking incentive especially coming off a 4-2 home loss to the Hurricanes this past Saturday.
Ottawa is 2-7 in its last nine home games. The Kings are 27-12 the past 39 times facing a foe with a losing record.
