Seattle Kraken vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction

The Kraken don’t have anything to play for and they have 21 losses on the road. The Kings have been one of the best teams in the league over the last month and they’re 29-4-4 at home this season. The Kraken have put together a couple of nice road wins lately, but I’m going to side with the team that’s in the playoffs and almost never loses at home. Of course, I’ll take the PL as well to shave down the expensive price.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Los Angeles Kings -1.5
