- The Kings are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL this season and that should help them get a win tonight that they need to have.

On April 15, 2024, the Minnesota Wild face off against the Los Angeles Kings at 9:30 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook sets the Wild as +142 underdogs with the Kings favored at -170. Current betting trends show no clear favorite in terms of moneyline bets, despite the Kings being favored going in. The opening total of the game is set at 5.5 with an even split of bets on the over and under. Don't miss out on this exciting matchup between these two NHL teams. With just two games left in their regular season, the Kings have a one-point lead over the Vegas Golden Knights for third place in the Pacific Division. The difference between third and fourth place in each division is crucial, as that is the difference between a Wild Card slot and having to play a number one seed in the first round, or avoiding the toughest first round matchups possible. Here, we expect the Kings to get a win that would move them to within a game of sealing up a top-three spot in the Pacific. Coming down the stretch, Los Angeles has won two games in a row. They also have a defense that can be counted on to help them get through these must-win games. Los Angeles has allowed 208 goals as a team this season, which ranks second in the Western Conference, which should help them to pick up a huge win in this contest at home.
