Kraken vs Kings Prediction

I’m on the Kings in this one. The Kings are just in much better form coming into this game and while Los Angeles isn’t the same bunch of road warriors that dominated away from Crypto.com Arena last year, they’re still playing the better hockey right now. Seattle’s been wildly inconsistent for much of the season so far and I just can’t get behind them here without a lot more plus money coming back their way. Give me the Kings on the road in this one.
