With neither team playing particularly high-scoring hockey, it's not surprising that the Under 9.5 is looking promising.

Get ready for an exciting clash as the Los Angeles Kings lace up their skates to face the Boston Bruins. The Kings are in formidable form, boasting a flawless away record over their last five, and are set to turn up the heat on Boston's ice. The Bruins may have had a sturdy run at home, but their recent history with the Kings paints a less rosy picture.

With the Kings averaging more goals overall and Boston's goal average dipping, the Kings' prowess on the offensive line suggests they're poised to break through the Bruins' defenses. So, if you're looking to bet on underdogs turned Kings, now's the chance to back LA with a 3.5 alternate spread.
