If I include the regular season, the Kings are a disappointing 12-1-3 at home in their last 16, allowing a HUGE 1.81 g/g (average), including 4 shutouts, and scoring a very low 3.00 g/g during the sequence, in which they also hosted the Avalanche, beating them 4-0, the only time the Avalanche got shutout on the road this season.
Jokes apart, at this point, I'd bet on the Kings at +350 without much hesitation.. so +500 sounds like a gift to me. Well in fact, this team is underevaluated since the very beginning of the 2001 series IMO...
