Los Angeles Kings vs. Florida Panthers Prediction<\/p>\n
I\u2019m on the Panthers here. I think the Kings losing Darcy Kuemper for the foreseeable future is a big loss for a Kings team that was already showing signs of regression defensively and now you have to go on the road to take on a Panthers team that\u2019s starting to heat up and one that has been much better at home this season. I think the Kings are in some trouble here. Give me Florida.<\/p>\n
