Kings vs. Capitals Picks

Money Line Pick for Kings vs. Capitals

  • Los Angeles Kings -127 (4 Units)

The Kings have won six straight road games, while the Capitals have lost four of their last five games. Los Angeles has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored 10 goals in their last three games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting 15 percent of their power play opportunities. The Capitals are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to penalty kills, and they struggled defensively in recent games, giving up 10 goals in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Kings.

Washington won’t be as successful offensively because they’re not playing as well offensively, scoring nine goals in their last three games. They’ve also struggled on special teams, converting 14 percent of their power play opportunities. The Kings have been on a roll defensively in recent games, giving up six goals in their last four road games, so expect them to keep Washington’s offense in check. Take Los Angeles on the money line.
