Nashville Predators vs Los Angeles Kings Picks and Prediction for Tuesday November 10 2026

Nashville heads to Los Angeles on Tuesday night for a 10 PM ET game against the Kings at Crypto.com Arena. The Predators have won four straight, and the Kings have been struggling to get much going at home. That’s a pretty good reason to like Nashville, although the Predators haven’t exactly been dominant away from Bridgestone Arena. At the time of this writing the odds were not released. I’m leaning Nashville, mostly because the Kings haven’t been doing enough defensively to make me trust them.

Nashville Has Been Playing Better Hockey

Nashville is 8-4-5 after beating St. Louis 3-1 on Saturday. That’s four straight wins for the Predators, and they’ve been getting it done without needing to score five goals every night. The defense has been better, and the goaltending has been giving them a chance to win. Nashville is 2-1-3 on the road, so the Predators haven’t been winning a ton away from home, but they’ve been collecting points.

The Predators have averaged 3.3 goals per game over their last ten while allowing 2.8. That’s a decent combination. Nashville has also been doing a good job keeping opponents from getting too many second chances. Los Angeles has been scoring reasonably well lately, but the Kings have also been giving up goals. The Predators should have opportunities to take advantage of that, especially if they can get their forecheck going.

Jonathan Marchessault has been dealing with a lower-body injury, while William Trudeau is out with an upper-body problem. Those absences take away some depth, but Nashville has been finding ways to win anyway. The Predators need to keep doing what they’ve been doing lately. Get pucks deep, make Los Angeles work in its own end, and don’t give away easy chances. If they stay disciplined, they’ve got a good shot at extending the streak.

Los Angeles Has Been Having Trouble at Home

Los Angeles is 5-8-2 and has won only two of seven home games. That’s not what you want from a team that’s supposed to be difficult to beat at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings have been inconsistent, and their defense has been giving up too many good chances. They’ve scored 45 goals and allowed 52 through 15 games, giving them a minus-seven differential.

The Kings have averaged 3.4 goals per game over their last ten and allowed 2.7. Those numbers are actually pretty good, which tells you Los Angeles has been playing better lately than its overall record suggests. The trouble is finishing games. The Kings have had stretches where they look dangerous offensively, then they give up a couple of goals and lose control. Nashville has been playing too well for Los Angeles to get away with that kind of inconsistency.

The Kings are missing Kevin Fiala with a leg injury, while Mats Zuccarello, Jakub Dvorak and Jan Jenik are also unavailable. That’s a lot of missing depth. Los Angeles needs its remaining forwards to create more offense, particularly at even strength. The Kings also need to do a better job protecting the middle of the ice. Nashville has been finding ways to score, and Los Angeles can’t afford to give the Predators too many clean looks.

Nashville Predators vs Los Angeles Kings Picks and Prediction

Moneyline Pick: Nashville Predators

I’m taking Nashville. The Predators have won four straight, and Los Angeles has been struggling at home. That’s enough to get my attention. Nashville has been playing better defensively, and the Kings have been missing some important players. Los Angeles could absolutely win if its offense gets going, especially with Nashville’s mediocre road record. But I like the way the Predators have been playing lately. I’ll take Nashville to keep the streak alive.

Total Pick: Under — Pending Verified Line

I lean under. Nashville has been allowing 2.8 goals per game over its last ten, and the Predators have been doing a better job keeping opponents from getting comfortable offensively. Los Angeles has been scoring 3.4 during that stretch, so there’s some danger here. But the Kings are missing offensive depth, and Nashville has been playing a more disciplined game. I think this looks more like a 3-2 or 3-1 Nashville win than a high-scoring shootout. I’d want to see the posted total before betting.
