Los Angeles Kings at Vegas Golden Knights Preview & Picks

Vegas are tipped to go into the break for the Winter Olympics on the back of a win.

The Golden Knights have struggled in recent weeks, but playing at home in the second half of a back-to-back is a boost against a Los Angeles team that has been hit-or-miss on its travels.

  • Vegas Golden Knights won the previous meeting this season
  • Los Angeles Kings are 6-11 in their last 17 road games
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of the previous 6 meetings

Head To Head

  • Vegas Golden Knights lead the all-time series 23-15-4
  • Vegas Golden Knights won 3-2 in overtime when the two teams last met on January 14

Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles enter this matchup having cooled off again with three defeats in their last four games.

The Kings struggled in the middle part of January as they lost four consecutive games, before finally snapping the skid with a 4-3 win at home to the New York Rangers.

They then backed up that victory on the road, as they downed St Louis 5-4 before heading to Detroit to down the Red Wings 3-1.

Los Angeles failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 4-1 in Buffalo, only to rebound with a 3-2 overtime success in Philadelphia.

The Kings have not won since though, following up a 3-2 overtime defeat in Carolina with a 4-2 home loss to Seattle.

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas come into this game on the back of a much-needed victory that ended a five-game losing run.

The Golden Knights were red-hot during the first half of January, as they reeled off seven consecutive victories, but a 2-1 defeat to Philadelphia sparked a downturn in fortunes.

They then lost 4-3 in Boston, before failing to build on a 6-3 victory in Toronto as they lost five straight games.

Vegas were beaten 7-1 in Ottawa and 3-2 in overtime at Montreal, before heading home to lose 5-4 to Dallas and 3-2 to Seattle.

The Golden Knights then suffered a fifth consecutive loss as they fell 4-3 in Anaheim, but they were finally able to stop the rot last night as they downed Vancouver at home, 5-2.

Verdict

Vegas’ recent form makes for ugly reading, but they do enter this game on the back of a morale-boosting win.

The Golden Knights also have the benefit of not having to travel for the second half of a back-to-back, so give us the hosts in this one.
