Los Angeles Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights Preview

Thu, Dec 28th, 03:30 (UK time)

I hope the pair of wins from Friday’s hockey article helped to get you geared up for the holiday break, so we are ready to take the ice and get back into the groove to finish the 2022 portion of the campaign.

The Golden Knights will have to pick up the gear and head to Anaheim for tomorrow night’s game against the Ducks, and I hope that inspires them to come out early and set the tone for tonight’s game. Being on the front end of a back-to-back situation can sometimes be tricky because most coaches will remind their players to leave something in the tank. I am not trying to say that Las Vegas will try to slow the game down to get a good skate in, I am just expecting an early rush for goals and a 1 – 1 game after 20 minutes of action.

These both teams to Score in the 1st Period prop bets are always so full of value, and here I am again offering a juicy plus-money offer tonight. Your bookmaker should be showing you a 2.50, at least, for that action. William Hill is offering that exact price along with most of the other major books that give you nice lines on prop bets. I also want to suggest you think about this Over 6 on the game total. I know that Phoenix Copley has done a great job minding the net for LA spelling Jonathan Quick and that 6 – 1 record tells that story enough. Actually, no it doesn’t, because have you seen the goal-scoring support that Copley gets this campaign? From his seven starts, the Kings have scored 31 goals in support, and they have scored less than three times in any outing he has made this year.

I expect to see the Golden Knights testing Copley early, and they will have success finding the net tonight as well. I see Jonathan Marchessault is questionable to return tonight, as he sat out the 5 – 4 shootout win over St. Louis last Friday. Hey, they scored nearly a handful of goals without him, so if Marchessault does lace them up and return tonight, all the better.
