I would start Helle anyways. Risky, but give me WPG's starter any day over LA's.
Who would you start?
Hellebuyck against Tampa, or
Quick against Montreal

Quick for me.
The game is 3rd straight home game for LA... and the Kings did well at home in their last game vs. CHI (6-3 winners, with 2nd line hitting nice groove: Leipsic-Carter-Kovy)
It'll be Montreal's 1st of 3 in California over 4 nights.
TB just doesn't lose at home... and WPG is flying there from a Sunday game in Columbus.
Vegas has the odds as this:
TB -200to win. 7o/u
MON -140 to win. 5.5o/u
So... LA has both better odds to win and lower goals expected.

(Over a large sample size, the betting line is usually a pretty smart way to eval decisions like these.)
