After Vegas won 4-2 on Friday night at LA, for its third regulation win over the Kings this season, these teams will meet for the fourth of eight times this regular season.
On Friday, LA scored consecutive goals to tie the game at two before Vegas scored the game’s final two goals. William Karlsson, who had a false positive COVID-19 test earlier in the day, scored the game-winning goal. Robin Lehner made 23 saves in his first start since Feb. 7 (concussion).
Vegas has won five straight and 11 of 13 to sit atop the West and near the top of the league standings. Only Tampa has a better goal differential than the Golden Knights’ +32. Vegas lead the league in goals against/game (2.21) and have the fifth-best penalty kill (84.9%).
After a 9-6-3 start to the season, LA has dropped eight of its last 11 (3-5-3). In this most recent stretch of losing three of four they’ve average just 1.75 goals/game and are a 9.1% on the power play (1/11).
