Anaheim Ducks vs. Los Angeles Kings Prediction

I’m on the Kings -1.5 here. I get the case to be made for the Ducks who have been printing money as puck line underdogs this season, but the Kings have been so strong at home this season that it’s really hard to go against this team especially with them still trying to catch the Vegas Golden Knights at the top of the Pacific division or at least clinch home ice in the first round of the playoffs. I just think the Ducks are overmatched here, and I’ll back the Kings -1.5 at home in this one.
