Former Canes Anton Forsberg and Warren Foegele will face their former team for the Los Angeles Kings (1-3-1) on Saturday night at Crypto Arena against the Carolina Hurricanes (4-0-0) in this two-game homestand finale.
Head coach Jim Hiller and the Kings have plenty of areas to improve coming off a three-game losing streak, including dropping a multi-goal lead in a comeback loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins this past Thursday night (Oct. 16). The Kings will likely be without center captain Anze Kopitar and starting goalie Darcy Kuemper for the second game in a row tonight against the Hurricanes at home.
Here are the betting odds and spread information for the matchup between the Kings and Hurricanes at home at Crypto.com Arena in the two-game homestand finale in Los Angeles, CA, on Oct. 18, at 6:00 p.m. PT.
