Florida Panthers vs. Los Angeles Kings Pick
The Los Angeles Kings have historically had the upper hand in their recent matchups against the Florida Panthers, winning all four encounters over the last three seasons. This trend, combined with the Kings’ ability to cover the spread in each of these games, suggests a pattern of dominance that cannot be ignored. Despite the Panthers’ current five-game winning streak, the Kings have demonstrated resilience and strategic prowess, especially in shorthanded situations, which was evident in their last meeting where they scored two shorthanded goals. The Kings’ offensive consistency, with Adrian Kempe leading in goals and Kevin Fiala in assists, alongside their goaltender’s performance that surpasses his career averages, positions them as strong contenders to win at the moneyline.
Moreover, the Kings’ home advantage at the Crypto.com Arena and their need to snap a two-game losing streak provide additional motivation to secure a victory. While the Panthers have shown they can score at any time, the Kings’ ability to capitalize on special teams play and their overall strong start to the season, earning points in 11 of their first 14 games, give them the edge. The Kings’ recent losses are seen as minor setbacks in an otherwise strong campaign, and with the Panthers having to adjust to the West Coast time change, this could impact their performance. Taking into account the historical head-to-head data and the current dynamics, the Los Angeles Kings moneyline bet is the justified pick for this game.
