Los Angeles Kings vs Carolina Hurricanes prediction

The Los Angeles Kings have played their best hockey on the road this season, but it's tough to back a team that's lost 8 straight games. The Carolina Hurricanes are also one of the most balanced teams in the league that wins the games they're supposed to win and are usually lights out at home. The Canes are 12-3-4 at home this season, and they've won 8 straight games against the Kings. I have no choice but to side with the Canes and the PL for max betting value.
