Artemi Panarin scored twice when the Kings beat the Islanders in October, and Simon Holmstrom went without a point. If you’re backing Los Angeles in the rematch, compare Panarin’s points in Kings wins with how often Holmstrom went without one in Islanders losses. That October game is one example of how both lines can land.
Player props to compare for a Kings win
| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artemi Panarin Over 0.5 points |
−240 | 100.0% 5 of 5 Los Angeles wins |
56.2% 9 of 16 appearances |
| Simon Holmstrom Under 0.5 points |
−105 | 80.0% 8 of 10 Islanders losses |
58.8% 10 of 17 appearances |
Artemi Panarin over 0.5 points
Panarin had a point in all five Kings wins in his sample this season. He had an assist in four of those wins. DraftKings priced the point at −240 and the assist at −120. His two goals against the Islanders came without an assist, so the point over landed and the assist over missed. The assist pays more if you expect him to set up a goal.
Across the past two regular seasons, Panarin had a point in 15 of 17 Kings wins, compared with 27 of 42 appearances for Los Angeles overall. The bigger sample still leans toward Kings wins, though the current five-game run is a small part of it.
Simon Holmstrom under 0.5 points
Holmstrom finished without a point in eight of 10 Islanders losses this season, including the first meeting with the Kings. At −105, the under fits if you expect Los Angeles to win by keeping his line off the scoresheet.
His two misses were his most recent losses. He had a goal and an assist against New Jersey and an assist against San Jose. Across the past two regular seasons, he went without a point in 34 of 48 Islanders losses and 58 of 96 appearances overall. The two most recent losses are a reminder that his line can still produce in a defeat.

Which prop fits your Kings read?
Panarin’s point fits if you expect his line to drive the Kings’ scoring and are comfortable with the price. Holmstrom’s under depends more on how Los Angeles handles New York’s top line. If you expect both clubs to create chances, Panarin has a route to a point even if Holmstrom contributes too.
