Kings vs. Kraken Prediction, Expert Picks & NHL Odds: Best Bets & Player Props for Tonight

The Los Angeles Kings secured home-ice advantage when they thrashed the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 on Monday night, which we think will impact the Kings vs. Kraken prediction, player props, and NHL picks.  

The Kraken have nothing to lose and the Kings should be focused on resting players and preparing for the first round of the playoffs. Tonight's game at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle starts at 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).

📰 Kings vs. Kraken NHL preview & matchup analysis

The Kings walked all over the Oilers last night, with the result all but decided by the end of the first period. With nothing left to achieve until the playoffs start, Tuesday's game in Seattle will represent a challenging occasion to get up for. Kings head coach Jim Hiller hasn't disclosed his lineup for the game yet, but I'd be shocked to see all of his top players suiting up. 

There's no need to unnecessarily risk any of his instrumental assets just 24 hours after achieving what his team sought when starting the road trip. After playing seven in a row, Darcy Kuemper will give way to David Rittich. The Kings' backup will probably play the remaining two games before Kuemper returns to the crease for Game 1 against the Oilers.   

There's also the emotional letdown to consider. The Kings, who are among the Stanley Cup odds favorites, can be forgiven if a morsel of complacency seeps into their game, particularly after assembling the league's best record (16-4-0) since March 8. 

Seattle awaits, fresh, loose, and with no reason whatsoever to hold back.

🥅 Best Kings vs. Kraken player props & same-game parlay

🔎 Our NEW NHL player prop odds tool can help you find the best NHL odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!

🚨 Jordan Eberle Over 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

With an assist in three of the last four games, Eberle offers good value to notch at least one helper against a fatigued Kings team. He posted an assist last week in Los Angeles when the teams met. Most of our best sports betting sites are in unison, offering +130 odds. Those odds imply a 43.48% chance, and a winning $10 bet will profit $13.

🚨 Andrei Kuzmenko Under 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite the wicked wrist shot he possesses, Kuzmenko is a pass-first kind of guy, exemplified by his five assists and two shots in the last three games. He hasn't fired two shots on goal in four games, hitting the Over once in the previous seven. If you exclude the seven-shot outlier against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Kuzmenko has averaged one shot per game over the last 16 contests.  

DraftKings and bet365 offer -115 odds, which would yield an $8.70 profit on a winning $10 wager.

🚨 Adrian Kempe anytime goal ⭐⭐⭐

As I'm unsure whether he'll play, Kempe to score is only a three-star pick. If I were Hiller, I'd be resting Kempe for at least one - if not both - of the remaining games. Nothing has been confirmed either way, but he's still listed at our best NHL betting sites. Kempe scored against Edmonton and has netted in three of the previous four meetings with the Kraken. 

bet365 offers +200 for him to light the lamp, which would profit $20 on a $10 bet.
