The Blackhawks were 2-1 in their three meetings against the Kings last season and were 1-1 in Chicago. The Kings are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings and 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Chicago, while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.

In this Kings vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Kings are coming as -150 road favorites. This is a disrespectful line to the Blackhawks, as they have one point more than the Kings and have been playing very good hockey lately, with a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Kings on the other hand, are on the second leg of a road back-to-back and are playing their fourth straight game on the road and will be with their backup goalie between the pipes today. Chicago is better both offensively, defensively and has a better penalty kill and goaltending. The home dog is barking, so take the Chicago Blackhawks on the moneyline in this one.
