Los Angeles at Nashville

Los Angeles had a great opening game, beating Vegas 6-2, but then the Kings fell to Minnesota, 3-2, when the Wild scored three goals in the second period. Nashville is winless after two games, and both were at home, including a 3-2 defeat against Carolina on Saturday when Andrei Svechnikov scored the go-ahead goal with six minutes left for the Hurricanes. Anze Kopitar was named the No. 1 star of the week after recording four goals and three assists in two games for the Kings. The Predators had the dubious honor of being the first team to lose to the expansion Seattle Kraken, and Nashville has lost five of its last six against Pacific Division teams. Calvin Peterson may get the start in net for Los Angeles, and he allowed two goals in the win over the Golden Knights. Take the Kings.
