Los Angeles clinched home ice in the first round of the playoffs with a 5-0 win over Edmonton on Monday night, the seventh win in eight games for the Kings. Adrian Kempe had a goal and two assists and Darcy Kuemper stopped all 16 shots he faced. The Kings likely will rest some starters in this back-to-back spot and David Rittich is expected in net. Seattle has won the past two meetings, including 2-1 on April 7. Joey Daccord had 28 saves in that game and he is the expected starter tonight. The Kraken have won four of six, including 4-3 in a shootout against St. Louis on Saturday. Seattle also has won four of five against Pacific Division foes. The Kraken have allowed more than three goals just once in seven games. Take the Kraken.
