Our second game of NHL predictions has the Los Angeles Kings trying to avoid the season sweep against the Detroit Red Wings. Darcy Kuemper is the likely starter for the Kings, who are 4-2-4 in their last 10 games. However, Los Angeles has won its previous two games entering this matchup. Kevin Fiala is first on the club in goals with 18 so far for the Kings.
John Gibson is the confirmed starter for the Red Wings, who are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. Detroit’s rise up the standings can be somewhat tied to Gibson’s improved play since December. Lucas Raymond leads the team in assists (40) and points (58) so far this season. This includes nine points in this recent 10-game stretch.
The Kings have struggled on special teams this season. Those struggles will play in the Wings favour tonight.
Prediction: Red Wings win 4-1.
