Artemi Panarin’s four-assist night in LA’s latest win shows why a point prop gives you more ways in than a goal-scorer bet. If you’re backing the Kings against Pittsburgh, you can ask him to help create a goal or finish one himself.
These Kings parlay picks pair Artemi Panarin’s one-point milestone with Kris Letang’s point under. Side & Support compares Panarin in Kings wins and Letang in Penguins losses with all their appearances over the same period. The choice is between an LA scoring contribution and a Pittsburgh defenseman staying off the scoresheet.
Kings parlay picks: a point for Panarin or a blank for Letang
Panarin’s record covers his regular-season LA appearances since October 1, 2025, including this season; his first Kings game in that history is in February. Letang’s table row covers this season’s Pittsburgh appearances. Seventeen Kings wins and eleven Penguins losses are modest samples. These individual DraftKings prices were captured on November 7 and can change.

65.0% 26 of 40 LA appearances · since Oct. 2025 |

Artemi Panarin 1+ point (−265)
A goal or an assist gets Panarin to this milestone. That flexibility mattered in the 7–2 win over San Jose: all four of his points were assists, including three on the power play. A goal-scorer bet would have missed a busy offensive night.
He’s recorded a point in all five Kings wins this season, and each of those games actually brought at least two. The two-point milestone was +170, while one point was −265. The recent winning games don’t separate them, but his longer LA record does: he reached one point in 15 of 17 wins, compared with nine for two points. Across all forty LA appearances, the corresponding records were 26 for one point and thirteen for two. Paying for the lower target leaves room for an ordinary one-point contribution instead of another big night.
That longer sample contains only his Kings appearances, not his earlier Rangers games. It also includes scoreless LA wins over Nashville and Seattle in April, when he played 20:52 and 16:27. His point in each of this season’s five wins is encouraging, but the two older blanks are a reminder that the Kings can get there without him appearing on the scoresheet.
Kris Letang under 0.5 points (−220)
Letang has gone without a point in Pittsburgh’s last four games, all losses. His overall current-season split gives that run some context: he was held off the scoresheet in ten of eleven defeats, compared with eleven of sixteen appearances overall.
Under 0.5 assists was −280, and it landed in exactly the same Pittsburgh games this season. The point under was −220, but it asks more of you: a Letang goal defeats it even if he has no assists. The cheaper price carries that extra way to lose. His goals in two April playoff games are useful examples of the scoring route you’re also ruling out.
The one current-season loss with a Letang point came against Vegas. He had an assist in a 6–2 defeat, so even a rough Pittsburgh scoring night can contain the contribution that beats this under. His longer regular-season record is less convincing too: no point in 36 of 48 losses and 56 of 90 appearances since October 1, 2025, including this season. This option rests on the more recent pattern, not a claim that he routinely goes quiet whenever the Penguins lose.

Choose the scoring contribution you want
Panarin’s one-point line makes sense if you want room for either a finish or a setup, rather than paying less and needing two points. Letang’s under asks him to stay out of Pittsburgh’s scoring altogether, with more support from this season than the longer record. You can use either route without taking both; their separate histories don’t supply a combined parlay probability or price.
