Los Angeles Kings vs. Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
I’m on the Kings here. I’m not going to fault Los Angeles with a loss to the red hot Sabres, and the Kings have played their better hockey on the road this season. The Flyers haven’t been playing well as of late, and while they likely get Dan Vladar back here, they haven’t been able to keep the puck out of the net and I think the Kings take advantage here. Give me the Kings.
