Senators vs Kings Prediction 10/29/26 NHL Picks Today

Senators vs Kings Prediction

In this Senators vs Kings Prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, October 29^th, the Senators are coming as -112 road favorites. Both teams have been up and down lately, as they both have been alternating wins and losses for their last 8 and 4 games respectively. They have also been totally unstable offensively and the Kings have been winless at home, while the Senators have lost their last two games on the road, so I see no value on either side. The total is set at 5.5 goals and with both defenses allowing 6.28 goals per game and with the Kings having the worst penalty kill in hockey, I have to go over that number. The Senators have also allowed 14 goals in their last three games, which certainly helps the case for a high-scoring game today.

The Kings are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Senators and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Los Angeles. Their last two meetings have gone under the total.
