Five Alex Laferriere shots reached Chicago’s net in the Kings’ last game. None became a goal, and he finished without an assist as Los Angeles lost 2–1. Scott Laughton and Trevor Moore also recorded shots in that defeat. For Ottawa backers, those contributions illustrate an important distinction: the Kings can lose while individual players clear a small shooting requirement, and a busy offensive night need not produce an assist.
These Senators parlay picks examine a hypothetical Ottawa win. The Senators are 8–5 after losing 4–1 at Vegas; Los Angeles is 3–6–2. This Side & Support Parlay Plays edition compares three Kings contributions using their records in Los Angeles losses, with Ottawa listed at −118 by DraftKings in the matchup snapshot.
What fits an Ottawa win?
The useful separation here is between a player contributing and his team winning. One shot from Laughton or Moore does not require Los Angeles to score. An assist under for Laferriere allows him to shoot or even score himself, provided he does not assist on another goal. Those are different requests within the same game, rather than three versions of a Kings scoring drought.
The histories cover the 2025–26 and current 2026–27 seasons through October 27, using only each player’s actual Kings appearances. Regular-season and playoff games are included. Every retained game has positive ice time and the required statistic; genuine zeroes stay in the record. The all-game column uses the same dates, club and participation rules as the loss column. Laughton’s shorter Kings history supplies 36 appearances, compared with 84 for Moore and 97 for Laferriere.
Individual DraftKings prices were checked on the public sportsbook this afternoon and can change. These are options to compare with the Ottawa premise, not a quoted combined parlay or a requirement to use all three.

Alex Laferriere: Under 0.5 assists at −220
Laferriere finished without an assist in 48 of 59 Kings losses (81.4%), compared with 68 of 97 Los Angeles appearances overall (70.1%). That is the clearest separation between the result-specific and all-game records among these three choices. It also asks less of Ottawa’s defense than a point under would: a Laferriere goal can coexist with a winning assist-under leg.
That distinction has already mattered this season. Laferriere scored against Florida and Boston, but did not record an assist in either loss. He has stayed under 0.5 assists in seven of the Kings’ eight defeats in 2026–27. Across all 11 current-season appearances, the under has landed seven times; he supplied assists in each of Los Angeles’ three wins. Those small current subsets support the direction of the longer comparison without establishing that the game result causes his assist total.
Chicago provides a recent example of why shooting activity and assists should not be treated as interchangeable. Laferriere played 20:27 and put five shots on goal, yet had no points. The expected lineup places him with Artemi Panarin and Adrian Kempe, so this is not a wager on him receiving no offensive opportunity. He had two assists in the preceding win over the Rangers, and also had two in the season-opening loss at Colorado. That Colorado game is the current losing-sample miss; it stays in the calculation.
The broader loss history contains 11 assist-under misses. In the April 23 playoff defeat to Colorado, for example, Laferriere recorded two assists in 23:21. A team can lose and still generate the combination plays that defeat this market. His under 0.5 points, offered at −110, is a more restrictive alternative: it occurred in only 40 of the same 59 losses and 51 of 97 appearances overall. Keeping the bet specific to assists preserves the better historical fit while leaving his own goal available.
Scott Laughton: 1+ shot on goal at −400
Laughton recorded at least one shot in 21 of 23 Kings losses (91.3%), against 31 of 36 Los Angeles appearances overall (86.1%). The appeal is a modest requirement that has usually survived a losing night. The limitation is equally visible: this is a smaller Kings-only history than Moore’s, and −400 offers a relatively small return for accepting another way for a parlay to lose.
The current-season record is seven of eight losses and nine of 11 appearances overall. Laughton’s latest losing games show what the one-shot threshold buys. He recorded one shot against Chicago in 14:39 and one against New Jersey in 14:26. The New Jersey shot was a goal, but a goal is not necessary for this leg; a saved attempt on net would meet the same requirement.
Moving to 2+ shots at +100 changes the historical picture substantially. Laughton reached two in 14 of 23 losses and 20 of 36 appearances overall, including four of the eight current-season defeats. Both of those recent one-shot losses would fall short. The more generous price therefore accompanies a materially different shooting demand, rather than a small adjustment to the same record.
There are real zeroes, too. Laughton went shotless in the October 3 loss at San Jose while playing 13:30, and in the March 14 loss at New Jersey over 16:23. He also had no shot in the October 26 win over the Rangers despite 17:23 of ice time. Those games show why an expected appearance is not enough on its own. His recent workload supports considering the market, but does not remove the chance of a shotless night.
Trevor Moore: 1+ shot on goal at −750
Moore put at least one shot on goal in 45 of 50 Kings losses (90.0%), compared with 71 of 84 Los Angeles appearances overall (84.5%). His longer club history and current losing-game consistency make him another one-shot option, though the −750 price demands particular attention. A high observed hit rate does not make a very short price automatically valuable.
Moore has recorded a shot in all eight Los Angeles losses this season and nine of 11 appearances overall. He finished with two against Chicago in 17:51. His expected second-line place gives a reasonable participation basis, and the recent game logs provide actual ice time rather than relying on that projected assignment as a guarantee.
The nearby 2+ shots offer was −170 when checked directly. It has landed in 35 of 50 losses and 55 of 84 appearances overall, including six of eight current-season defeats. Moore’s one-shot games against Vegas and New Jersey this month explain part of that difference. Readers deciding between the thresholds should compare the additional shooting requirement with the price, rather than transferring the one-shot record to the two-shot bet.
The current losing sample is perfect, but the larger history is not. Moore went without a shot in five of the 50 defeats, including the December 22 loss to Columbus in 16:46 and the February 25 loss to Vegas in 14:03. More recently, he was shotless in wins over Washington and the Rangers. Those positive-ice-time zeroes remain in the all-game baseline. The 90.0% loss record describes the completed sample; it is not a forecast that he will record a shot tonight.
Choose the contribution before building the ticket
Laughton and Moore serve a similar purpose, with different prices and sample sizes. Choosing one may be more useful than paying for both. Laferriere’s assist under offers a different path, but all three still share the same game environment; their historical rates should not be multiplied into a combined success probability.
Ottawa’s most recent defeat and the Kings’ sparse scoring against Chicago do not settle tonight’s result. Use the player histories to compare supporting legs only after deciding whether the Senators moneyline is a position you want. Recheck each exact threshold and price before considering a ticket. The two shot legs allow Los Angeles offense, while the assist under still loses if Laferriere supplies even one helper.
