Kings vs Bruins Prediction 

Los Angeles comes into this matchup after picking up an overtime win on Monday afternoon, so they will be on a back to back. The Kings are 16-8-7 on the road this year, while the Bruins are 24-8-1 at home. Boston lost in overtime on Sunday to Pittsburgh and they have allowed at least five goals in two of their last three games. LA does play their best hockey on the road and they will have Kuemper in net, but I trust the Boston offense at home. Take the Bruins here.
