Two of the top teams in the NHL will square off tonight when the Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Kings. The Lightning will be playing back-to-back games after knocking off San Jose last night 5-1 at SAP Center so fatigue might be a factor. The Kings boast the best defense in the league and are expected to have Jonathan Quick between the pipes. Quick is tough to score on, with a 2.06 GAA, and a .937 SV%. Tampa is expected to go with Peter Budaj, who has a 4.00 GAA, and a .855 SV%. The Lightning are 1-4 in their last 5 trips to Los Angeles so consider the Kings in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS

Sunday NFL Pick
The Denver Broncos are a 7-point dog today when they travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are 7-1 on the season and have been riding a 6-game winning streak but all good things come to an end. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings against the Eagles. Brock Osweiler is at the helm for Denver and he has shown moments of brilliance. The Broncos defense is stellar and they should shut down the Eagles offense today.
