The Kings are the stronger team on paper and have dominated the Blackhawks in recent matchups. With their superior offensive and defensive metrics, the Kings should be able to cover the -1.0 spread. Chicago's struggles on both ends of the ice, combined with injuries to key players like Nick Foligno and Philipp Kurashev, make it difficult to see them keeping this game close.
