These teams are both playing good hockey of late and will try to continue their winning ways to help their postseason hopes here. Before the puck drops in Detroit, continue reading to get my Kings vs Red Wings prediction in what should be a competitive contest in the Motor City.
Red Wings ML ATS PRO
Confidence: 4/5

Score Projection: Los Angeles Kings 2 – Detroit Red Wings 3
Win Probability: Los Angeles Kings 42%, Detroit Red Wings 58%
My best bet for this matchup from Detroit is for the Red Wings to get the win on their home rink. The Wings are 18-8-1 at home so far this season and they should continue piling up the wins at home in this game against a Kings team who is dealing with an injury to one of their top contributors. Expect Detroit to claim a win in their return to LCA after a three-game road trip.
