Nashville Predators vs LA Kings Prediction

You can make a case for the LA Kings and the plus money because they’ve been the better team so far this season and are led by a more explosive offense. The Predators have also been hit or miss at home. However, the Preds have also had their most success on their home ice, and they’re running into a Kings squad they’ve beaten 7 times in the last 10 Games. Not getting enough plus money to side with the Kings. I’ll give the Preds the edge because of home ice and History.
