Kings vs Blackhawks Prediction

In this Kings vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Kings are coming as -120 road favorites. The Kings are on the second leg of a back-to-back but they have been in good form, with a 3-1 record in their last 4 games and will be facing a struggling Blackhawks team that has three straight defeats, all of them at home, having scored just three goals in that span. On top of that, Chicago has the second-best offense and the worst power play in hockey, so I will take the Kings to win this one on the road in an excellent price.
