Los Angeles Kings vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Kings here. I just think with more at stake for the Kings, the Kings show up here against a Kraken lineup that’s found ways to underwhelm down the stretch and while a couple of home wins lately have been nice, it’s still the fact that the Kraken are playing for pride at this point. Los Angeles has come on strong down the stretch, and I just think this is a spot where the Kings show up and get the job done on the road, where they’ve been at their best all season. Give me the Kings.
