Final Kings-Panthers Prediction & Pick

These are two teams going in opposite directions. While the Kings did manage a point last time out, they are not scoring enough to win consistently. Now they are facing a team in the Panthers that has been great on defense. In the one recent game in which they were not stealer on defense, they used the open style of play to score four goals. Do not expect that same open style of play in this one, as it will stay lower scoring, but the Panthers come away with a win, continuing the King's losing streak.
