Chicago Blackhawks vs LA Kings Prediction

The Chicago Blackhawks are looking more and more like the team from last season, a club that can’t find consistent offense and the defense eventually suffers as well. The losses are piling up, and it’s getting harder and harder to back the Blackhawks. The Los Angeles Kings have the offense to give the Blackhawks fits, and they’ve played their best hockey at home this season. The Kings have also won 5 straight games against the Blackhawks and 8 of the last 10 meetings overall. Give me the Kings and the PL for max betting value.
