Los Angeles Kings vs Boston Bruins prediction
Right when it looked like the Los Angeles Kings were down for the count, they put together some nice wins and the defense has gotten its act together. The Boston Bruins are coming off some strange losses and they can’t find their offense. Weird start time, especially for a west coast team, but the Kings enter this game playing the better hockey, and we can’t forget they are 16-7-4 on the road this season. We’re getting 1.5 times our money with the Kings. Given the current form of both teams, I have to take a shot with the Kings.
