Los Angeles won the first meeting on Saturday 4-2, though the Kings were up 4-1 until Seattle scored with just a few seconds left to make the score more respectable.

The Kraken are now 4-13 over their last 17 matchups while the Kings are jockeying for playoff position nearing the end of the season.

Can Los Angeles make it two wins in a row or will the visiting Kraken pull off an upset to play spoiler?

Kraken vs. Kings Prediction and Pick

The Kings should handle business for the second straight time against the visiting Kraken. Los Angeles has won three of four at home and are 9-3 in its last dozen as a favorite, with all but one of those wins coming by multiple goals.

Seattle, on the other hand, has been a disaster on the road. The Kraken are 9-21 away from home and a messy 1-9 in their last 10 as a road underdog, with six of those losses by two or more goals.

Los Angeles ranks ninth in opposing goals per game and the Kraken are 28th in goals per game, so Seattle should struggle to score. If it were not for a last-second goal, they would have only scored once on Saturday. Seattle allows the sixth-most goals per game and I think the Kings run away with this one again.

Give me Los Angeles to cover the puck line in a dominating win as they secure playoff positioning at a critical point in the season.

Pick: Kings -1.5 (+120)
