Los Angeles Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/01/26

The Los Angeles Kings and Carolina Hurricanes are tentatively scheduled to play Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET at Lenovo Center, but there is a possibility that the game is impacted due to a snowstorm that affected most of North Carolina with several inches of snow. The good news is that the Kings, who won in overtime in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon, arrived at Raleigh/Durham International Airport around 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, right before the storm really cranked up. So if the start time has to be pushed back to treat the roads, parking lot, etc., or employees and fans need more time to get to the arena, at least the Kings are in Raleigh and ready for whatever happens.

If the game goes off as scheduled, the Kings look to stay somewhat hot. They are 4-1-0 in the past 5 games and have at least 1 point in 7 of the past 8 outings. The Hurricanes lost in Washington on Saturday afternoon and they arrived back to RDU around 10:15 p.m. ET, so technically the Kings will be more rested than they are. Rookie Brandon Bussi is expected to start. With the travel for both teams, no rest, the snowstorm and a matinee game, I’ll go low on the total. For L.A., the Under is 3-0 in the past 3 and 7-2 in the past 9.
