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.
