Kings vs Predators NHL Betting Prediction
The Kings have played better this season overall, and are 33-16 in their last 49 against a team with a losing record, which is very motivating ahead of the game.
Meanwhile, the Predators have not scored enough in their last three games, and their defense has not been at its best coming into the game, thus taking away the home advantage from them.
With Predators on the backfoot both offensively and defensively, we can expect the Kings to claim a tight win from this game.
