Kraken vs Kings predictions

As the Seattle Kraken head into the crypto.com Arena to face off against the Los Angeles Kings, all eyes might be on Jared McCann, assuming he shakes off that day-to-day tag and hits the ice. McCann has been red-hot for the Kraken, leading the team with 9 goals and 21 points. His ability to find the back of the net could be crucial, especially with the Kraken looking to overturn their somewhat disappointing road record. Plus, given his dual threat capability, both scoring and setting up plays, McCann's presence could definitely tip the scales in favor of the Seattle crew.

Shifting focus to the Los Angeles Kings, Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar are the dynamic duo likely to stir things up. Kempe, matching McCann with 9 goals, has been an integral part of the Kings' offensive line-up. Meanwhile, Kopitar’s knack for playmaking, highlighted by his team-leading 16 assists, could see him orchestrating significant plays. Their combined skills not only boost the Kings’ scoring chances but also spread the defense thin, trying to cover LA's multifaceted attack.

When it comes down to picking a winner for this NHL showdown, the game could swing either way. But considering the current standings and home advantage, the Los Angeles Kings might just have the edge. Their slightly better overall record and solid home performance paint a favorable picture. Yet, the Seattle Kraken are desperate to break their road losing streak, which could ignite a fiery determination leading to an unpredictable finish. One thing's for sure, it’s set to be an enthralling match-up where both teams will leave nothing on the ice.
