San Jose Sharks vs LA Kings Prediction
I’m on the Kings here. I just can’t trust the Sharks even if they string wins together, as this is easily the worst team in the NHL this season. The Kings have had their moments, and only won by 1 against the Sharks earlier in the year, but I think they can do enough to bag themselves the win in this one. Give me Los Angeles.
