Next Saturday night will be a key date for the Los Angeles Kings, as they will face a must-win road game against the New Jersey Devils. However, even though the Kings are closer to reaching the playoff zone than the Devils, they aren’t considered favorites to win according to the bookies’ odds due to their lack of offensive consistency throughout the regular season.
Despite this, it cannot be ignored that the New Jersey Devils are on a two-game losing streak, during which they conceded eight goals. With these facts in mind, they aren’t expected to dominate this game, but if they have an offensive performance like the one they had against the New York Rangers and the Florida Panthers earlier this month, they will have real chances of securing at least one point.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings haven’t won any of their last three games in regulation time, it being concerning that Artemi Panarin has only scored one goal in those games. Nevertheless, they are just one point behind the eighth spot in the Western Conference, so they should try to secure at least one point in this game to remain competitive for the last part of the regular season.

Our New Jersey Devils vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction
As can be seen, these teams are expected to deliver a very even game due to the context surrounding both rosters, but especially the Kings, as they already lost their first game of the regular season series against the Devils.
To conclude, the Kings’ lack of offensive effectiveness could deny them the opportunity to qualify for the playoffs, so this game’s outcome will be key for keeping them dependent on their own capabilities to get into the playoffs. Therefore, the pick for the Los Angeles Kings – New Jersey Devils is: NJD Devils Total Goals – Over 3.5!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
