Adrian Kempe scored three goals against San Jose on four shots. In another Kings win, he put seven on net against the Rangers without scoring. If you like Los Angeles against Nashville, that’s a useful distinction: Kempe can get the shots even when somebody else gets the goals.
If you’re backing the Kings, look at Kempe’s shots and Artemi Panarin’s points in Los Angeles wins. For the Nashville side, look at what Mavrik Bourque and Steven Stamkos did when the Predators lost. Each line gets a second check against all the games that player played in the same stretch.
Kings parlay picks for a Los Angeles win

Adrian Kempe: Over 3.5 shots on goal
Kempe didn’t need to score to reach four shots against the Rangers or Ottawa. He had seven against New York and five against the Senators, so this is a way to back his involvement without needing him to finish a chance.
Four shots at +130 pays more than three at −180. Both got there in all five Kings wins, but across his 14 appearances, three shots got there nine times and four got there six. Kempe managed only two shots in the latest game against Pittsburgh. Over the longer Los Angeles sample, four or more cleared in 19 of 39 wins, so the five-for-five run stands out from his usual record.
Artemi Panarin: Over 1.5 points
Panarin reached two points in each of those same five wins. He got there with two goals against the Islanders, a goal and an assist against Ottawa, and four assists against San Jose. That range is the appeal of the points line if you expect the Kings’ top line to drive the scoring.
He still picked up an assist against Pittsburgh, but that single contribution would have fallen short. Two points also hit in only nine of his 17 Kings wins across the longer sample. At +160, this asks more of him than one point at −280. Panarin and Kempe are listed on the same line, so consider what you want from that line before using both.
Mavrik Bourque: Under 0.5 points
Bourque’s one point in six Nashville losses was an assist in a 5–4 game against Toronto. He put three shots on net in a later loss to Washington and still went without a point. The −145 line can survive an active night, but a goal or an assist beats it.
He had an assist in Nashville’s latest win over St. Louis after going without a point in three straight wins. The pattern covers just 13 appearances, and he’s listed on Nashville’s top line. That makes the Toronto game a useful counterexample if you expect a close, high-scoring finish.
Steven Stamkos: Under 0.5 assists
This is the Nashville under to consider if you still see a path to a Stamkos goal. He scored twice without an assist in the loss to Toronto and scored without one in losses to San Jose and Pittsburgh. The wager turns on whether he sets up a goal, even if he scores one himself.
The case at −190 leans on the longer Nashville record. This season alone, he’s gone without an assist in six of nine losses, and he had one in the latest win over St. Louis. Compared with Bourque’s under, you’re paying more for a line that can withstand a goal and has a longer history behind it.
