Ottawa Senators vs LA Kings Prediction

I’m on the Kings here. I know the Senators look like a team with a lot of upside this season, especially with their upgrade in goaltending. However, I think I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Los Angeles more, as the Kings have been competitive against teams like the Bruins, while Ottawa came out completely flat against Montreal last time out. Los Angeles has also had a lot of recent success between these two teams. Give me Los Angeles in this one.
