Kraken at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 2, Kraken 1
Moneyline
PASS.
The Kings are worth taking a shot on in a moneyline parlay only as (-172) is too pricey for a team that played Tuesday night on the road. LA has gotten back on track this month and after a 3-game skid the Kings have now won 5 out of their last 8 games. Captain Anze Kopitar has goals in 3 straight games.
Puck line/Against the spread
BET KRAKEN +1.5 (-175).
The Kraken have lost back-to-back games, but have earned at least a point in 5 of their last 6 games. LA cashed as a -210 puck line underdog in last Saturday's matchup in Seattle.
Over/Under
BET UNDER -5.5 (+114).
LA has allowed the fewest number of goals in the NHL (68). The Kings have also played 66.7% of their games to the Under, the highest percentage in the Western Conference. The Under has cashed in 4 out of the last 5 matchups between these 2 teams.
