Kings vs Golden Knights: A Western Conference battle
The Los Angeles Kings are visiting the Las Vegas Golden Knights in a matchup between two of the top four teams in the Western Conference tonight at the T-Mobile arena in Sin City.
Can the Kings reach the top of the conference?
The Los Angeles Kings are fourth in the Western Conference with a 20-7-4 record. They have the best road record in the conference, winning 13 or 15 games. Currently, the Kings are on a two-game winning streak, scoring five goals in both of those wins. They are the best defensive team in the league, allowing only 2.37 goals per contest. Three Kings players have already reached the milestone of 30 points this season, led by Anze Kopitar, who has 31 points, 18 of which are assists.
Will the Golden Knights end the losing streak?
The Vegas Golden Knights are second in the Western Conference with a 21-10-5 record. The defending champions are 12-3-2 at home and are currently on a four-game losing streak. They are coming back home after a four-game road trip that ended with a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Vegas is ranked 11th in the league, scoring 3.37 goals per game. Jack Eichel is the best player on the Knights with a total of 39 points, which ranks him 13th in the league.

The Kings have played under the total goal line in 13 of their last 18 games, including the last five played on the road.
Player to watch
The Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill is having another fantastic season. He leads the league both in goals against average with 1.93 and save percentage with 93.3%.
Injury Reports
Phoenix Copley will not play for the Kings while Kaedan Korczak is out for the Golden Knights.
Prediction and Conclusion
This will be an interesting matchup between two of the best teams in the Western Conference. They both had an excellent start to the season, but the Golden Knights are going through their longest losing streak of the year, failing in the last four games. However, the Golden Knights are coming back home tonight and they are expected to play much better than in the past week. Vegas has the best goalkeeper in the league, while the Kings allow the fewest goals in the league. Los Angeles has played under the total goal line in their last five road games, and with the line set at 6 goals for tonight’s game, they will make that six in a row.
