The LA Kings are back home from a three-game trek through Western Canada which concluded with a 4-3 loss at Calgary Thursday night. The Kings are 7-2 in their last nine games playing on one days rest and 5-1 in their last six home games. Here they'll host the Nashville Predators who are coming off back-to-back losses, the most recent a 3-2 OT defeated at Arizona on Thursday. They're just 2-6 in their last eight overall and 1-4 in their last five road games.

The Preds will have to do without their team leader Filip Forsberg who has been ruled out for four to six weeks with an upper-body ailment.

My selection is an 8* play on LA Kings.
