In this Kings vs Sharks Prediction, the Kings are coming as -212 road favorites. Both teams are coming off wins in their previous matches, but the Kings have been playing some good hockey lately after a rough start to the season. The Sharks have by far the worst defense in hockey and their penalty kill has been terrible, while their goaltending has been atrocious. I like the Kings to get away with the road win in this spot, even though they are on their 5th stop a long road trip. Take the Los Angeles Kings on the puckline in this one.
