LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

You can make a case for either side as the Vancouver Canucks have been road warriors where they’re 5-1-0 on the year while the LA Kings are 3-0-1 at home. Still, with pick ’em prices, I’d have to give the Kings the edge at home. It also doesn’t hurt that the Kings have won 5 of the last 6 Games against the Canucks. The Kings have also been sharper at both ends of the ice this season and are more trustworthy defensively. I’d need more bang for my buck to side with the Canucks on the road. Give me the Kings at this price.
