The Detroit Red Wings have put together a decent week, but they’re running into a Kings team that’s beat them in 8 of the last 10 meetings. Also, the Los Angeles Kings have been road warriors all season long, where they’re 13-3-3 on the season. I’m just not excited to step in front of the Kings in these spots. The line is reasonable. Give me the Kings.
