Los Angeles Kings vs. Utah Mammoth Prediction

I’m on the Kings here. If there’s anywhere I’m going to back Los Angeles, it’s on the road where they’ve been better for much of the season. The Mammoth are just too inconsistent right now for me to consider laying this price with them, so I’ll roll with the Kings to get the job done at a great plus price on the road.
