Fact checked at 8:03 AM ET, Nov 10, 2026Odds as of 7:27 AM ET, Nov 10, 2026
Nashville (8-4-5) brings a four-game winning streak to Los Angeles for a 10:00 PM ET start. The Kings (5-8-2) have alternated wins and losses over their last five games, yet the market still makes them the favorite.
We're fading the Kings' attack tonight, through two of its top players. Nashville kills 88.5% of its penalties, third-best in the league, and Juuse Saros (.911 save percentage) is the expected starter, though he hasn't been confirmed. Los Angeles scores 3.00 goals per game and has lineup questions. Erik Gustafsson is day-to-day and missed the last practice. Kevin Fiala, on injured reserve, skated on a regular line, but the coach couldn't say whether he plays. Darcy Kuemper is expected in the Kings' net.
Predators vs. Kings Predictions
Pick #1Quinton Byfield Under 0.5 Points−110
Byfield has been held without a point in 10 of his 13 games this season. When he does score, it comes in bunches: all three of his scoring nights were two-point games, twice against San Jose and once against Ottawa. One of the blanks was a game against Washington where he played under three minutes, so it's nine of 12 full games. At -110 the price implies just 52.4%.
Last season says the same thing. He went without a point in 46 of 79 games (58.2%), including all three meetings with Nashville.
Three of his four goals this season have come on the power play, where he skates on the Kings' top unit. That's the part of Nashville's game that has been hardest to beat. At even strength he centers the second line with Corey Perry.
Fiala could change this. He skated on Byfield's line at the last practice, and if he's activated tonight, Byfield gets a skilled winger to work with. Byfield has also scored in two of his last four games.
Pick #2Artemi Panarin Under 3.5 Shots on Goal−165
Panarin is the Kings' most dangerous player, with 18 points in 15 games. He plays on the top line with Alex Laferriere and Adrian Kempe and runs the first power-play unit, and his shot count barely moves. He's stayed at three or fewer in 10 of 15 games, and seven of those ended on exactly three. That -165 price means a 62.3% break-even, and the longer record holds up: last season he stayed at three or fewer in 52 of 78 games (66.7%), and in 19 of his 26 games after he joined the Kings.
Heavy minutes haven't pushed him over. He played more than 24 minutes against Buffalo, Ottawa and Boston this season and had three shots in two of those games.
Nashville allows about 29 shots per game, so the matchup isn't doing the work here. This is a bet on how Panarin plays. He has 10 assists to go with 48 shots, and he looks to pass first. A chase is what beats it. If the Kings fall behind and push late, he can get to five or more, and his seven-shot game against Ottawa shows how high he can go.
