Los Angeles Kings vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
The Kings are doing themselves no favors with all of these losses and their playoff hopes are dwindling. However, this game is a gift. The Canucks are the worst team in the sport and the worst team for NHL bettors by a country mile. If you’ve blindly faded the Canucks all season, you’re in great shape. If the Kings can’t take advantage of this game, stick a fork in them. The Kings have played their best hockey on the road and the Canucks have just 8 home wins. No excuses here, folks. Give me the Kings and the PL for max betting value.
