Los Angeles Kings vs Dallas Stars prediction
The Los Angeles Kings have been road warriors all season long, and that includes upsetting the Hurricanes on the road yesterday to end their losing streak. With that said, the Kings have still lost 8 of their last 9 games, and I can't get behind them in that form. The Dallas Stars have been hit or miss, but they have the offense to give the Kings issues on the end of a back to back. The Stars have won 6 of the last 8 meetings against the Kings, and they're due for a bounce back showing at home. Give me the Stars and the PL to shave down the juice.
