Kings head east to take on Sabres

Hockey Betting Lines

12/19/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Kings will try to avoid a third consecutive loss when they visit the Buffalo Sabres for this evening's interconference battle at HSBC Arena.

The Kings, who are beginning a three-game road trip tonight, recently ended a four-game homestand with a 2-0-2 mark.

Los Angeles posted back-to-back wins over St. Louis and Minnesota to begin the residency, but then lost to San Jose in a shootout this past Monday before dropping an overtime decision to the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Despite the recent losses, LA can record at least a point in five straight games for the second time this season. The Kings also pulled off the feat with a 4-0-1 record from November 4-13.

The Blueshirts took the 3-2 decision as Michal Rozsival tallied the game- winner with 1:19 left in overtime to give New York the victory at Staples Center.

Patrick O'Sullivan and Dustin Brown had goals for the Kings, who are 3-3-3 so far in December. Brown also had an assist, while Jason LaBarbera allowed three goals on 30 shots in taking the loss.

O'Sullivan extended his point streak to six games and has one goal and six helpers during the run.

The Kings are just 3-6-0 as the visiting team this season and have dropped four of their last five away from the City of Angels.

The Sabres, meanwhile, have lost two of their last three games and are coming off Wednesday's two-goal loss against visiting New Jersey. David Clarkson netted the game-winner early in the third period as the Devils topped Buffalo, 5-3, at HSBC Arena.

Drew Stafford, Patrick Kaleta and Paul Gaustad scored for the Sabres, while Ryan Miller took the loss after allowing five goals on 30 shots. Kaleta returned to the lineup after missing almost three weeks with a concussion.

Derek Roy added an assist and has now registered a point in seven straight games with three goals and six helpers over that span.

Buffalo winger Thomas Vanek, who leads the NHL with 24 goals this season, was kept off the scoresheet in Wednesday's setback. The Austrian sniper had notched a total of six goals in his five outings prior to the most-recent matchup against the Devils.

The Sabres are 8-8-1 as the host this year and have dropped two straight and three of their last four in western New York.

Los Angeles has won four of the last seven meetings with the Sabres, including an 8-2 thrashing in LA on December 6, 2007 -- the most-recent encounter between the clubs. However, the Kings have lost two straight and are just 1-8 with a tie in their previous 10 trips to Buffalo.
