Predators vs Kings Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
NSH Predators Win(+115)

The Nashville Predators will take on the Los Angeles Kings Monday night. Both teams have 81 points but the Kings currently sit in 9th in the Western Conference. This game will be huge especially with both teams fighting for the last playoff spot. For the Predators, they have won their last 2 games and have won 4 of their last 5 away games. The Predators have also won both head-to-head meetings with the Kings this year. On the season, the Predators are averaging 2.97 goals per game on 28 shots per game. While these numbers are not ideal, they have scored 20 goals over their last 5 away games while only allowing 15 goals. It seems the Predators are motivated to make the playoffs.

For the Kings, they have won 3 of their last 5 games overall. They have struggled at home losing 5 of their last 7 games. Much of the issue for the Kings is their lack of scoring. On the season, they rank 28th in goals per game with 2.68 goals per game. The Kings also rank 30th in shooting percentage this season with goals on less than 10% of their shots. The final concern for the Kings is that they have given up 58 power play goals this season. Overall, the Kings offense is a concern and the Predators look great away from home. I am taking the Predators on the money line.
