The Los Angeles Kings (9-5-3) head to the Mile High City tonight to face the Colorado Avalanche (8-8-0). The puck drops for this Wednesday Night showdown on November 13, 2024 at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. TNT is carrying the national broadcast from Ball Arena.
The oddsmakers have installed the Avalanche as modest -130 favorites, while the total sits at 6.5 goals. Can Nathan MacKinnon and company keep rolling at home against the Kings?
Here’s our Kings vs Avalanche prediction for Wednesday Night Hockey.
While the Kings have impressed early this season, I’m rolling with the Avalanche to get it done on home ice. Colorado has flat-out owned this matchup lately, winning seven of the last 10 meetings with L.A., including three of four at Ball Arena.
The Kings are missing a huge piece in Drew Doughty, who’s still sidelined with an ankle injury. His absence leaves a massive hole on LA’s blueline, especially when it comes to special teams duty.

The Avs’ offense has been humming behind Nathan MacKinnon, who’s been on an absolute tear with 30 points (7 goals, 23 assists). Colorado is putting up 3.44 goals per game (10th in NHL) and their power play has been lethal, converting at a 33.3% clip (2nd). The Kings’ middle-of-the-pack penalty kill (79.4%) could be in trouble without Doughty against this high-powered unit.
While L.A. has been stingy defensively (2.88 goals against, 9th), the Avalanche have enough weapons to break through. The Kings are also playing their second road game in three nights, which isn’t ideal against a fresh Colorado team at altitude.
Sure, the Kings are leading the Pacific with 21 points, but the Avs have won three of four and are perfect in their last three at home. With MacKinnon and Makar doing their thing, expect Colorado’s dominance in this matchup to continue.
For total bettors, it’s telling that nine of Colorado’s last 10 home games have gone over. Look for both teams to light the lamp in what should be a back-and-forth affair, with the Avalanche’s special teams making the difference.
Wednesday NHL Picks:
The Avalanche are currently favored to win this matchup, with the moneyline set at -130. This means that a $130 bet on Colorado would return a profit of $100 if they come out on top. Conversely, the Kings are underdogs at +110, offering a potential return of $110 on a $100 wager.
For those interested in the puck line, Colorado is listed at -1.5 (+175), while Los Angeles is at +1.5 (-225). A bet on the Avalanche puck line would require them to win by two or more goals, but it would provide a higher payout. The Kings puck line bet would cash if they either win outright or lose by a single goal.
The total (over/under) for this game is set at 6.5 goals, with the over at even money and the under slightly juiced at -120. This means that oddsmakers believe there’s a relatively equal chance of the game seeing seven or more goals versus six or fewer.

The Avs have had the upper hand in recent meetings with the Kings, winning seven of the last 10 games between the two teams. Colorado has also been dominant at home against LA, securing victories in three of the past four matchups at Ball Arena.
The Kings will look to buck this trend and prove they can compete with the Avalanche. However, with Doughty out and Colorado’s home-ice advantage, the Avs are poised to continue their success against Los Angeles on Wednesday Night Hockey.
