The Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins meet up today (Thursday) for a premier matchup in the NHL.
The Kings will come into play with a strong 3 - 2 record. They took a heavy loss to Seattle and Las Vegas to open the season but bounced back with three straight wins in four days. They'll look to keep that streak alive today at PPG Paints Arena.
The Penguins opened the season with 12 goals in their first two games, defeating the Coyotes and the reigning Eastern Conference ChampionTampa Bay Lightning. However, they fell flat their last time out, losing in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens. They have a great spot to bounce back today at home.

Tristian Jarry will be back in the net tonight for the Penguins. DeSmith started in that loss, so the Penguins should do better tonight with the first stringer back between the poles.
It looks like Quick will have the night off for the Kings, but that has not been confirmed yet. Cal Petersen has faced Pittsburgh twice in his career and is 2 - 0 against them. However, given how the Pens look early in this season, his first loss against this team is likely.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Best Pick
Rickard Rakell was a smart acquisition by Pittsburgh last season, and he signed a six-year deal in the offseason. He only has one goal so far this season, but they will get him more involved. Being a former Duck, the Kings are a team he's very familiar with; he should record a point with no problem.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
This will be a tight game, but it should be an exciting one for the fans. If Quick were in net for the Kings, the under would be an absolute lock, but as it stands, it could go either way. The Kings may bring their best and still keep it low-scoring, but DeSmith will likely be lit up.
Pittsburgh -1.5 (+118)
