The Los Angeles Kings (7-2-2) and Vegas Golden Knights (11-1-1) will compete to see who is better in this NHL showdown. The Golden Knights are slightly favored to win with a moneyline of -142.

The Kings are on a three-game winning streak coming into this battle. Their most event victory was a 5-0 shutout over the Philadelphia Flyers. They were able to score two goals in each of the first two periods to put this game out of reach.

They are currently third in the Pacific Division, so a win here would definitely help boost their chances at taking over soon. However, they face the best team in the league.

Their offense will need to remain outstanding, as they are averaging 4.27 goals a game and rank fifth in the league. Their shot attempts average to 32.7 a game, which is a good number considering how many goals they land.

Their defense will be the key factor in winning or losing, as they allow teams to average 2.82 goals a game and rank 11^th in the league. They also allow teams to average 27.4 shots a game, which might be enough against average teams.

The Golden Knights suffered their second loss of the season, which was a 4-2 outing against the Anaheim Ducks. The crazy part is, the Ducks scored all of their four goals in the third period to stun the Golden Knights and snap their four-game win streak.

They are still on top of the Pacific Division and are a handful of games ahead of the Kings. However, they just continue to remain consistent to keep their place in line.

Their offense has been great, as they average 3.77 goals a game and rank second for total goals scored. They also fire off 29.2 shot attempts each game, which could be more aggressive.

Their defense is a huge factor contributing to their success, as they allow teams to score 2.15 goals a game and rank fourth in the amount of goals allowed. Opposing teams are averaging 30.3 shots a game, which is still a solid amount of action.
