LA Kings vs New York Rangers Prediction

Give me the Kings here. The Kings are giving up only 2.55 goals per game and they are going to step up again in this game. The Rangers offense has been solid this season, but they aren’t elite and they aren’t going to run up the score here. The Kings’ offense is going to be better here, and that will be the difference as LA is going to get the job done here. Back the Kings on the money line.
