The NHL schedule for next Wednesday, January 14, will conclude with the Los Angeles Kings facing off against the Vegas Golden Knights at Crypto.com Arena. According to the odds offered by the sportsbooks, neither team is considered a clear favorite to win this matchup.
However, the Los Angeles Kings are the team with the greater obligation to win, as they are currently outside the Western Conference playoff zone, just one point behind the San Jose Sharks. Even with this in mind, it is important to note that the Kings have become the second-worst offense in the Pacific Division with only 120 goals so far this season.
For their part, the Vegas Golden Knights have managed to get back on track after winning their last four games, the most important thing for this team being that they have regained their offensive effectiveness. However, although this is excellent news, the reality is that they have not yet managed to pull away from the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference standings, so any result other than a win could drop them out of the top 4.
