In this Kings vs Devils Prediction, the Devils are coming as -165 home favorites. The Kings have back-to-back wins but I don’t think they will extend their winning streak today. They will be playing their third straight game on the road and will be facing a Devils team that is 4-1 in its last 5 games and has won its last three home games with a combined 15-5 score. The Kings still have by far the worst penalty kill in hockey, so take the Devils to win this one at home.
