  • We’ve made our Kings vs Sharks prediction for Tuesday
  • Read below for Kings vs Sharks prediction and odds

The Los Angeles Kings head to the SAP Center to take on the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00 PM PT. This Pacific Division battle will be broadcast live from San Jose, California on ESPN.

Oddsmakers have set the Kings as heavy -300 favorites, with the Sharks priced at +250 underdogs for this matchup. The puck drops at 7:00 pm PT.

Here is our Kings vs Sharks prediction, along with NHL odds to consider.

Kings vs Sharks Prediction

The Kings and Sharks find themselves in very different positions early in the 2024-25 season. Los Angeles sits 2nd in the Pacific with a 5-2-2 record, while San Jose is dead last at 1-7-2. The Kings took the first meeting between these clubs 3-2 in LA last Thursday.

The Kings will lean on their balanced attack, led by veterans Anze Kopitar (3G, 6A) and Adrian Kempe (3G, 5A). Youngsters like Alex Laferriere (4G, 3A) and Brandt Clarke (1G, 6A) have also contributed. LA is averaging a solid 3.11 goals per game.

San Jose finally picked up their first win Monday night, rallying from 4-1 down in the 3rd to beat Utah 5-4 in OT. Mikael Granlund (5G, 8A) has been their main offensive catalyst. However, the Sharks rank dead last in the NHL in goals per game (2.00) and 31st in goals against (4.22).

In net, the Kings are expected to start Darcy Kuemper (2-0-2, 3.20 GAA, .896 SV%). For the Sharks, Vitek Vanecek (0-4-0, 4.00 GAA, .869 SV%) is the likely starter on the second half of a back-to-back.

I predict a convincing 5-2 road win for the Kings. LA has absolutely dominated this matchup recently, going 8-1-1 in the last ten meetings. The Sharks are playing their 2nd game in as many nights and will be gassed against a rested Kings squad.

LA’s offense, averaging over three goals per game, should feast on a Sharks defense allowing 4.22 goals against (31st). Vitek Vanecek and his .869 save percentage won’t slow them down, either.

The Sharks rank dead last in 1st period goals allowed (1.70 per game), so expect the Kings to jump out to an early lead. LA also has the special teams edge, ranking 12th on the power play vs SJ’s 25th ranked PK.

While the Sharks have some momentum after their big comeback victory on Monday, the Kings are simply the far superior team right now. Lay the -1.5 puck line and watch LA roll.

Tuesday Hockey Picks:

  • Kings -1.5 Puck Line ()
  • Over 5.5 Goals (-130)

Kings vs Sharks Odds

Team Spread Moneyline Total
LA Kings -1.5 (-115) -300 Over 5.5 (-130)
SJ Sharks +1.5 (-105) +250 Under 5.5 (+110)

The LA Kings are hefty -300 favorites on the moneyline, implying a 75% win probability. The Sharks are +250 underdogs.

On the puck line, LA is favored by 1.5 goals at -115 odds. San Jose is a +1.5 goal underdog at -105.

The total is set at 5.5 goals, with the over juiced to -130 and the under at +110. Given the Sharks’ defensive issues and LA’s solid offense, the over looks appealing here.

LAK-SJS Injury Report

The Kings enter this game with a clean bill of health and no notable injuries to report.

For the Sharks, there are no new injuries, but fatigue could be a factor as they play their second game in as many nights. This puts them at a significant disadvantage against a rested LA squad.
