The Wings, meanwhile, have had two easy wins so far. They beat the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 quite convincingly (3-0) before winning 5-2 at the New Jersey Devils.
The Wings have looked good so far in offense and defense. However, injuries to key players like Robby Fabbri, Mark Pysyk, and Jake Walman could hamper their chances of winning.
Los Angeles Kings vs Detroit Wings: Pick
Adrian Kempe will have the chance to shine for the Kings. He has had six shots on goal so far in three games but has only one goal.
Mark Walman's absence in Detroit's defense could pave the way for some more attacks by Los Angeles. Injuries to Robby Fabbri and Mark Pysyk could also impact the Wings' attack, giving more reason for Los Angeles to make an impact.
Pick: Adrian Kempe Shots On Goal Over 2.5 (-165)
Los Angeles Kings vs Detroit Wings: Prediction
Los Angeles is a much better team than they have proven to be this season. They finished third in the regular season (Pacific Division), whereas the Detroit Wings finished sixth (Atlantic Division).
The Kings have a much better chance of winning, as they have a full-strength squad compared to the Wings'. Key injuries in offense and defense have certainly made Detroit a weaker. Expect the Wings to leak some goals.
Prediction: Kings (-135)
