The Los Angeles Kings will look to regain momentum after having their win streak snapped by the Bruins on Monday night, falling to them by a final score of 7-0. They have a chance to get back in the win column tonight when they head to Dallas to take on the Stars.

The Stars are still sitting two points back from the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, so tonight could be a pivotal game for their playoff hopes.

Kings vs. Stars Prediction and Pick

I've been a believer in the Kings for a while, and now that they're starting to make me look smart, I have no reason to jump off their bandwagon.

They rank first in the NHL in CORSI% over their last 25 games, while also ranking second in expected goals per 60 minutes and seventh in expected goals against per 60 minutes. They've had some goaltending issues during that stretch, ranking 28th in save percentage, but Cal Petersen seems to be rounding into form, having allowed only two goals in three straight games.

The Stars have been chugging along as the pure definition of average. 15th in CORSI% and12th in expected goals per 60 minutes.

I'll jump at the chance to back Los Angeles as an underdog.

Pick: Kings +115
