Panthers vs Kings Prediction
You can make a case for the Los Angeles Kings and the plus money, as they’ve won seven of the last eight games against the Panthers. That includes a 2-1 win last week. However, the Kings have lost six of their last eight games and the offense has gone in a hole. The Kings have scored two or fewer goals in nine of their last 10 games, and that’s just not going to cut it against above-average teams. The Florida Panthers usually play their best hockey at home, and they’re healthy again with the recent return of Barkov. The Panthers have spent a lot of recent time on the road, a return home should be just what the doctor ordered. Give me the Panthers and the somewhat reasonable price.
