Los Angeles Kings vs New Jersey Devils prediction

The Los Angeles Kings have been road warriors all season long, but there’s no getting behind them in their current form. The Kings are a mess at both ends of the ice, and that includes just losing to the Sabres 7-0 on the road. The New Jersey Devils are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they’re back home, where they should be most comfortable. The price is more than reasonable, even if this is more of a fade from the Kings more than anything. Give me the Devils and the cheap price.
