Dallas Stars vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 2/6/25, 8:57 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/6/25 at 9:10 PM in NHL Picks

There was a belief in the betting sites that the Stars could beat the Ducks in Anaheim and extend their winning streak to 6 games in a row, so much so that the Stars had started as favorites for that duel with odds around -250. However, they lost and this meant for Oettinger the first loss of his career against the Ducks and now he has a record against them of 8-1-0. The Stars will stay in Los Angeles to face the Kings who have a record of 28-17-6 this season and who already beat the Stars in Los Angeles on December 4 when they received them at the Crypto.com Arena, in a close match that ended 3-2 in favor of Los Angeles with goals from Edmundson, Jeannot and Foegele. That match, like the one that will take place on Friday, was quite close in the betting with the difference that the Kings will start this time as slight favorites.

The Kings got their 16th home win against the Canadiens in the last game with a final score of 6-3 and two goals by Kevin Fiala. For them this is a 6-game homestand, which they started off winning. The Kings had a streak of scoring two or fewer goals in seven straight games. They got back to their trademark offensive hockey against the Canadiens, but it didn't surprise the bookies by setting the Game Total at 5.5, although there were ultimately 9 goals, 6 of them in the third period.
