Los Angeles Kings vs Nashville Predators: an 0-4-2 start against seven games in 16 that went past regulation 
Los Angeles lost its first six games of the season, four in regulation and two in extra time, before winning 5-2 in Washington in late October. The Kings are 5-3-0 since that 0-4-2 start, and on Tuesday 10 November, at 10:00pm ET, they host Nashville in the fifth game of a seven-game homestand.
Their last result was the most convincing of the season. Adrian Kempe returned from illness and scored three goals with an assist in a 7-2 win over San Jose on Wednesday, Artemi Panarin had four assists, and Quinton Byfield scored twice on the power play.
Nashville has won three straight. The Predators beat Tampa Bay in a shootout, Carolina 4-1 and then Colorado 3-2 in overtime on Thursday, when Steven Stamkos scored on the power play at 2:18 of the extra period.
That goal was the 247th power-play goal of Stamkos’ career, which took him past Phil Esposito and level with Luc Robitaille for fifth on the NHL’s all-time list. Roman Josi set it up from the left point.
Both teams play once more before Tuesday. Los Angeles hosts Pittsburgh on Saturday night, and Nashville hosts St. Louis on Saturday afternoon before flying west. We’ve used the records as they stood on Friday morning.
Los Angeles Kings: three straight games with a power-play goal and Kuemper back in form 
Los Angeles is 5-7-2 with 12 points, seventh in the Pacific. The Kings have scored 43 goals and allowed 47, and they’re 5-5-0 over their last ten after the slow start.
The homestand began with a 6-5 overtime win over Ottawa and a 3-2 loss to Buffalo, the game Kempe missed. Coach Peter Laviolette said two good days of practice carried into the San Jose game, and the Kings scored on three of their five power plays that night.
That was the third straight game with a power-play goal. Panarin’s passing ran the unit on Wednesday, with Byfield finishing twice from the slot, and the 7-2 result was the Kings’ biggest margin of the season, beating the 5-2 win in Washington.
Darcy Kuemper made 30 saves against the Sharks. He’s started nine of the 14 games, while Forsberg has started five and won none of them, with the 3-2 loss to Buffalo and a 2-1 loss in Chicago among his defeats.
Kempe now has five career hat tricks, tied for ninth in Kings history, and his 37 multigoal games put him ninth in franchise history as well. Erik Haula and Joel Armia also scored on Wednesday, so the scoring went beyond the top line.

Nashville Predators: three wins in a row, but 2-5 in games that went past 60 minutes 
Nashville is 7-4-5 with 19 points, fifth in the Central. The five losses in overtime or a shootout are the most striking number on the record: seven of the Predators’ 16 games have gone beyond regulation, and they’ve won two of them.
The goaltending has been shared. Juuse Saros has started most games and beat Carolina 4-1 last week, while Justus Annunen won the shootout against Tampa Bay and made 30 saves in Denver on Thursday. Annunen also started the 6-2 win over Colorado in late October.
Coach Andrew Brunette said his team attacked from the start in Denver rather than waiting, and that the game turned on a penalty kill late in regulation and the power-play goal in overtime. Ross Colton opened the scoring at 4:01, and Vitali Pinchuk got his first NHL goal at 14:34.
Ryan O’Reilly had two assists against the Avalanche. Brunette credited Colton with driving the team over the last two weeks and noted that several new players were still finding their game in Nashville.
The road record is 2-1-3, and four of those six games ended in overtime or a shootout. The Predators have scored 49 and allowed 50, a -1 difference that’s almost identical to the Kings’ -4.

Free NHL Prediction: Los Angeles Kings vs Nashville Predators
Our prediction: Nashville Predators to win (overtime included)
We’re leaning on Nashville’s form. The Predators have won three straight against Tampa Bay, Carolina and Colorado, three teams with winning records, while the Kings’ best recent win came against a San Jose team that has lost five of six.
The honest counterpoint is the Kings’ power play and Kuemper. Los Angeles has scored with the man advantage in three straight games, and Kuemper has been the steadier of the two Kings goaltenders. That’s why we’re including overtime, which Nashville reaches in almost half its games.
Stamkos and Josi produced the winner in Denver, O’Reilly is setting up goals, and Nashville has allowed 3.13 goals a game against the Kings’ 3.36. With two goaltenders who’ve both won recently and a team that keeps games close, we’d back the Predators to leave Los Angeles with the extra point at least, and more often the win.

About our free predictions
- What we publish on MathOdds are analyses, nothing more. We share a view, a reading of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport remains what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a last-minute goal, and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing ever is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s even inevitable at some point.
- The smartest approach is to stay reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Never use money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses: that rarely ends well.
- A bet should remain a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your daily life, causes stress or frustration, take a break. And if needed, talk to a support organisation: that’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, no matter how good the analysis.
- Essential reminder: gambling is prohibited for minors and must comply with the laws of your country. Need help? Visit begambleaware.org.

Before placing a bet, simply check that gambling is legal in your country. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
