Kings vs Devils predictions
As the Los Angeles Kings ride into Prudential Center with a solid six-game win streak, eyes are definitely going to be on Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar. Kempe, leading with 14 goals this season, has been a crucial piece in the Kings' offensive line-up and likely isn't slowing down anytime soon. Meanwhile, Kopitar, with his impressive 24 assists, continues to prove why he's one of the best facilitators in the game today. If these two can sync up well during the game, the Kings could very well extend their streak.
On the flip side, the New Jersey Devils have their own aces to play. Nico Hischier, leading with 15 goals, has been nothing short of phenomenal, finding the back of the net with a consistency that's hard to ignore. Jesper Bratt, not far behind and leading with 25 assists, has also been a key distributor for the Devils. Their dynamic contributions are vital for the team, and if they bring their A-game, they are sure to stir trouble for the Kings' defense.
Predicting a winner in this matchup is no easy feat, especially with both teams performing solidly. However, the Kings' momentum with their current win streak and their slightly better road performance might just tip the scales in their favor. But, with the Devils playing on home ice and having high-impact players like Hischier and Bratt, this game could really go either way. It's going to be a close one, but I'll lean slightly towards the Kings maintaining their streak, perhaps in a fiercely contested shootout. What do you think? Will the streak continue, or will the Devils play spoiler?
