Kings vs Kraken prediction

Kings vs Kraken best bet: Anze Kopitar Over 0.5 points (-125)

Anze Kopitar centers the top line alongside star wingers Artemi Panarin and Adrian Kempe, and the results are encouraging. The Los Angeles Kings have scored 3.96 goals per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 play with that trio on the ice, an elite rate.

Kopitar also skates on the No. 1 power play, giving him exposure to the team’s top players in prime offensive situations.

He's hit the scoresheet in 57% of games since Panarin was acquired — well above the 46% rate prior.

Facing a Seattle Kraken team that’s conceded 3+ goals in 12 of the last 13, Kopitar is primed for a productive night.

Kings vs Kraken same-game parlay

Trevor Moore is shooting more without Kevin Fiala or Andrei Kuzmenko in the fold. He's averaging 3.3 shots per game and has cleared 2.5 at a 71% clip over 21 games.

He’s yet to go back-to-back without 3+ shots, and has a perfect bounce-back opportunity against a Kraken side that sits eighth in 5-on-5 pace and 26th in shot suppression over their last 10.

The Kings have allowed just three goals over their last three games. They’re a tough team to score on, and the Kraken (27th in goals per game) are likely to struggle breaking through.
