As they prepare to meet in the Wednesday NHL picks, both the Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings are playing great hockey. Dallas has won eight of the club's past 11 games. Los Angeles is 4-1 over the last five games.

The Kings are also a solid 8-2-1 on home ice this season. However, oddsmakers are siding with the Stars in this contest. Dallas is set as -118 road favorites in the NHL odds.

Let's look at the latest betting line on this game. Odds are subject to change.

	Puck Line	Moneyline	Total
Dallas Stars	-1.5 (+215)	-118	O 5.5 (-123)
Los Angeles Kings	+1.5 (-255)	+105	U 5.5 (+107)

The two Western Conference rivals clashed three times during the 2023-24 season and the Stars were winners in all three games. In fact, Dallas is riding a four-game winning streak over Los Angeles.

There are only four NHL games on the agenda during a quiet Wednesday night of action, and this is the game that we think provides the best bets of the night in the NHL picks.
