In their previous five games, the Predators have a 2-3-0 record, scoring 3.2 goals per game while allowing 3.8. Nashville holds the second Western Conference Wild Card spot and is even with the Kings in points, but has more regulation wins. A win Monday night will put a little distance between the two, a loss shifts them out of the playoffs and the Kings in. Nashville leads the season series 2-0 entering play Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Kings News &amp; Notes:<\/p>\n<p>The Kings beat the Maple Leafs 7-6 in overtime on Saturday. In their last five games, the Kings have a 3-1-1 record, scoring 3.8 goals per game while conceding 3.6. With a win Monday night, the Kings can take hold of the last Wild Card spot in the Western Conference away from the Predators. The Kings will look for their first win of the season over the Predators on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>Nashville Predators Projected Lines:<\/p>\n<p>Stamkos\u2013O\u2019Reilly-L\u2019Heureux<br \/>Forsberg-Haula-Marchessault<br \/>Jost-Wood-Evangelista<br \/>Schaefer-Svechkov-Kemell<\/p>\n<p>Skjei-Josi<br \/>Hague-Perbix<br \/>Wilsby-Barron<\/p>\n<p>Saros<br \/>Annunen<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Kings Projected Lines:<\/p>\n<p>Panarin-Kopitar-Kempe<br \/>Moore-Byfield-Laferriere<br \/>Wright-Laughton-Armia<br \/>Malott-Helenius-Ward<\/p>\n<p>Anderson-Doughty<br \/>Edmundson-Clarke<br \/>Dumoulin-Ceci<\/p>\n<p>Kuemper<br \/>Forsberg<\/p>\n<p>Buy Los Angeles Hockey Merchandise Below!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.insidetherink.com\/collections\/los-angeles-hockey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Los Angeles Hockey \u2013 Inside The Rink<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Players To Watch:<\/p>\n<p>Nashville Predators <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Luke%20Evangelista&amp;post_tag=luke-evangelista\" id=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Luke%20Evangelista&amp;post_tag=luke-evangelista\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Luke Evangelista<\/a> scored the only goal during the shootout to secure the 5-4 win for the Predators in their last meeting with the Kings back on April 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Kings<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Adrian%20Kempe&amp;post_tag=adrian-kempe\" id=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Adrian%20Kempe&amp;post_tag=adrian-kempe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adrian Kempe<\/a> had two goals for the Kings in their 5-4 shootout loss to Nashville back on April 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>Injury Report:<\/p>\n<p>Nashville Predators<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-\">NONE<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Kings<\/p>\n<p>F <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Kevin%20Fiala&amp;post_tag=kevin-fiala\" id=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/?s=Kevin%20Fiala&amp;post_tag=kevin-fiala\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Fiala<\/a> \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/olympics-kevin-fiala-stretchered-off-against-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IR<\/a><br \/>F Andrei Kuzmenko\u00a0\u2013 Out<\/p>\n<p>Next Game:<\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from Inside The Rink<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/jcgifford18d2e1cafa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775479754_10_8db68b5dc1a6417474926df3f6d3c47ad5c5859e11a1a42050a5fdf654aba77b.jpeg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-75 photo\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/jcgifford18d2e1cafa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">JC Giff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Father of 3, Bruins, Red Sox, Cubs, Liverpool, Syracuse football and Basketball Fan.
