Detroit Red Wings vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction

It looks like the Kings are starting to figure things out, with wins in four of their last five games. The defense is starting to settle in a bit. However, the Kings have yet to win on their home ice, and the Red Wings are a feisty group that’s made us money this season. They are a tough team due to being above-average at both ends of the power play. The Red Wings also have a pep in their step offensively in recent efforts. The Red Wings are getting slept on in this spot. I’ll take a stab with the road dog.
