Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas have rebounded from the losing run that ended 2025 and started 2026 with a four straight victories to get back on track.

The Golden Knight’s post-Christmas slump began with a 6-5 defeat at home to Colorado, which was followed by further home losses to Minnesota, 5-2, and Nashville, 4-2.

Their losing skid then reached five games as they went out on the road to lose 4-3 in St Louis and 3-2 in overtime in Chicago.

Vegas finally stopped the rot in Winnipeg though, beating the Jets 4-3 in overtime, and they then returned home to down Columbus 5-3 and St Louis 4-2.

The Golden Knights made it four-in-a-row as they went back out on the road to beat San Jose 7-2.

Los Angeles Kings Form

Los Angeles enter this matchup on a rough run of form that dates back to early December, having now lost 11 of their last 16 games.

The Kings’ struggles began with a four-game losing skid that was finally ended by a 2-1 win in Tampa, but they failed to follow that up as they lost 3-1 to Columbus and 3-2 to Seattle.

They were then unable to back up a 6-1 blowout of Anaheim as they lost 5-2 in Colorado and 5-3 to Tampa, but they responded with 5-4 and 4-2 wins over Minnesota.

Los Angeles’ good run did not last long though, as they were beaten 4-3 in overtime by San Jose and 5-1 in regulation at Winnipeg.

The Kings then won 4-3 in Edmonton, only to return home for a 3-1 loss to Dallas.

Verdict

Vegas have had Los Angeles’ number in recent times and they are the in-form team heading into the latest meeting.

Therefore we are backing the Golden Knights to get the job done on the road.
