One of the last games in the NHL calendar for next Wednesday will feature the clash between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Los Angeles Kings, teams that will face each other at Crypto.com Arena at 09:00 pm CST. For this game, the Kings are slightly favorites to win according to the bookies’ odds, but it shouldn’t be forgotten that they lost their last three games before the Olympic break.
However, the LA Kings are expected to secure very positive results during the last part of the regular season, as they signed Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers just before the Olympics break. Taking this into account, the Kings’ offense is expected to show a significant improvement, as they currently are the second worst offensive in the Pacific Division with just 146 goals scored.
Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights haven’t made significant changes to their roster during the last weeks, a situation that makes sense when looking at that they are the best team in the Pacific Division with a 4-point lead over the Edmonton Oilers. Despite this, it cannot be ignored that the Golden Knights haven’t won any of their last five games in regulation time, a concerning streak that shouldn’t last long if they want to remain competitive.
