Los Angeles Kings vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Kings here. I just think that the Kings on the road are a team I’ve been able to back with some level of confidence in that certain situation but Utah, while they’ve been stronger at home this season, have been hit or miss at times as of late. Now granted, a lot of that is because they’re coming off of a significant road trip, but Los Angeles has also owned this matchup going back to last year and I think the Kings log another W here. Give me the Kings.
