Los Angeles Kings vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
The Kraken are coming off nice wins over Calgary and Vegas, but this team has been a joke over the last month and it’s led to them being out of the playoff conversation. The Kings are coming off a strong week and they’re inching closer toward postseason hockey. The defense has been strong and the Kings have played some of their best hockey on the road. The price is more than reasonable given the stakes. I have to side with the Kings.
