Artemi Panarin has recorded at least two points in all five Kings wins this season, but in only one of their nine losses. For a Pittsburgh win scenario, that makes room for an under that still lets Panarin contribute a goal or an assist.
These Penguins parlay picks compare Panarin and Alex Laferriere in Los Angeles losses with Kris Letang’s shooting in Pittsburgh wins. Side & Support puts those records beside each player’s full record over the same period, giving you a choice between a low shot target for Pittsburgh and two different ways to limit LA’s scoring contributions.
Penguins parlay picks: one shot and two Kings unders
The table covers regular-season appearances with each player’s current club since October 1, 2025, including this season. Panarin’s LA record begins in February and contains forty appearances. Individual DraftKings prices were captured on November 7 and can change.

−370 | 90.5% 38 of 42 PIT wins |

| Artemi Panarin Under 1.5 points |

67.5% 27 of 40 appearances |
| Alex Laferriere Under 0.5 assists |

71.9% 69 of 96 appearances |
Kris Letang 1+ shot on goal (−370)
Letang has put a shot on goal in all five Pittsburgh wins this season. The last three of those wins each brought exactly one, so the gap between asking for one shot and two is more than a price preference.
Two or more shots was +115, compared with −370 for one. Letang reached two shots in only two of the five current wins, and 22 of 42 wins in the longer Pittsburgh sample. Across all appearances over that longer period, he reached two in 41 of 90. The one-shot milestone buys considerable room beneath his winning-game totals, but it adds a modest payout for another condition your bet needs to satisfy.
His latest appearance is the caution: no shots in 20:27 against Boston. He also went shotless in a Pittsburgh win at Los Angeles last season despite playing 22 minutes. The longer record is useful support for the lower target; neither a Penguins win nor a normal night of ice time guarantees he gets a puck on net.
Artemi Panarin under 1.5 points (−235)
You don’t need Panarin to disappear to use this under. One goal or one assist still leaves him below two points. That distinction suits a Pittsburgh win view better than simply asking every Kings scorer to finish empty-handed.
His current-season split is striking: eight of nine LA losses stayed below two points, compared with eight of fourteen appearances overall. Every Kings win in that stretch brought at least two. The longer LA-only record is less emphatic at 19 of 23 losses, so this is a useful comparison rather than a rule about how he plays in defeat.
The latest game shows what you’re betting against. Panarin supplied four assists in LA’s 7–2 win over San Jose, three on the power play. He also had a goal and an assist in an earlier 5–4 loss to the Sharks—the one current-season loss that beat this under. If you expect Pittsburgh to win while still allowing another productive Panarin night, this restriction may not fit your view.
Alex Laferriere under 0.5 assists (−180)
Laferriere’s assist under lets him score a goal without defeating the bet. That mattered in this season’s losses to Florida and Boston: he scored once in each and had no assists. Asking him to finish without any point would have lost both.
The price reflects that difference. Under 0.5 points was +115, but covered only 40 of 56 LA losses in the longer sample; under 0.5 assists was −180 and covered 48. Across all 96 appearances, the corresponding records were 52 without a point and 69 without an assist. You’re accepting the smaller payout to leave the goal-only route open, rather than needing a completely quiet scoring night.
There’s real counterevidence alongside the eight of nine current losses without a helper. He had two assists in the season-opening loss to Colorado and a power-play assist in LA’s latest win over San Jose. Last April’s playoff series against Colorado was tougher still: he recorded an assist in three of four games. Those playoff games sit outside the regular-season table, but they matter with a first-line role expected tonight. LA’s lines aren’t confirmed.

Choose how Pittsburgh gets there
The choice between the Kings unders comes down to the contribution you’re willing to allow. Panarin can have a goal or an assist, as long as he stops at one point. Laferriere can keep scoring goals, but even one assist defeats his under. If you’d rather use a Pittsburgh player, weigh Letang’s lower shot target against its modest added payout. You can choose one route without taking all three.
The two Kings unders share LA’s offense—a single goal can involve both players—so their separate records don’t establish a combined probability or parlay price.
