🏒 Islanders vs. Kings Prediction & Player Props Tonight: Kopitar to Shine at Home
We have a banger of a game for the NHL's nightcap, and I'm dropping my best Islanders vs. Kings prediction to get you set for the 9:30 p.m. ET puck drop.
Los Angeles enters tonight as -132 favorites following the Islandersβ heavy loss to the Ducks, coming off the second night of a back-to-back. We expect Anze Kopitar to shine on home ice, but ultimately anticipate the Islanders will hand the Kings their sixth defeat in seven games.

π° Islanders vs. Kings best bet: Under 5.5 goals (-105)
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
After a night off, Ilya Sorokin - who's essentially a co-favorite on the Vezina Trophy odds board - will be in between the pipes for the Islanders as they take on a sluggish offense that hasn't scored more than two goals in each of its last three games. That sounds like a perfect recipe for not only a New York win, but also a sweat-free under.
Score prediction: Islanders 3, Kings 1
🤑 NHL props for everyone
I have three anytime goal scorer predictions for tonight you have to dig in to before puck drop. Looking for more NHL player props? Our Gary Pearson has that, too.
π₯ Best Islanders vs. Kings prop bet: Anze Kopitar 1+ assists (+114)
We're getting plus-money on a player that's recorded an assist in three of his last five games? Count me in for that. With Quinton Byfield out, Kopitar's usage and time on ice has elevated from 17 minutes to 20, and we're looking for that type of volume tonight. If we get it, expect Kopitar to cash this as part of our best Islanders vs. Kings predictions.
