The Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights do battle again tonight with the Kings Sportsbook as +140 dogs at T-Mobile Arena. This is the second game in a home-and-home set between these two clubs with the Kings taking the first game 3-2 at Staples Center.
- The Golden Knights are 7-0 SU in their last seven games after a loss.
- The total has gone OVER in six of the Golden Knights’ last seven games with no days off between games.
- The Kings are 5-12 SU in their last 17 games vs teams with winning records.
The Kings are clinging to the last playoff spot in the Western Conference after knocking off the Knights on Monday and are 4-2 SU in their last six games. Los Angeles is one of four teams in the West with a winning record on the road at 19-15 SU and it’s mainly because of its defensive efforts as the Kings are ranked third in the NHL in goals allowed per game (2.59) in away games.
However, it may not be enough vs the Knights as Vegas has been close to unstoppable at home this season at 24-7 SU overall and is 8-2 SU in its barn vs Pacific Division teams. The Knights were also a player at the trade deadline, making a deal with Detroit to acquire Tomas Tatar, who is expected to make his debut tonight. Bettors should also note that Vegas hasn’t lost consecutive games since mid-January and is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games at home.
The total opened at 5.5 and an OVER may be in the cards for this divisional matchup. Vegas is the second-highest scoring team in the league at home (3.71 goals per game) and the OVER has hit in four of their last six games at T-Mobile Arena. When you factor in that the OVER has hit in four of the Kings’ last six road games, this tilt has all the makings of a shootout.
