New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction
The Devils have seen all three of their losses this season come on the road, and they’ve allowed a combined 13 goals in their last two games. The Kings have earned points in each of their last six games, and the defensive effort seems to be getting better. The Kings are playing respectable hockey, and they’re due for a home win for the first time this season. Pick ’em price, I’ll side with the Kings on their home ice, especially with the way the Devils are allowing goals this week.
