Game Preview
The Vegas Golden Knights are aiming to stretch their win streak to five games as they face off against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.
Coming off a dominating 5-0 victory over the Calgary Flames, the Golden Knights are red hot, having finished a perfect four-game homestand. With a league-leading goals-per-game average of 4.70 and a strong +19 goal differential, Vegas looks primed to keep the momentum going.
Coach Bruce Cassidy has credited this streak to the team’s recent sharp play and scoring efficiency, noting, "We’re extending leads and making good plays." Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has been instrumental with 12 points in 10 games, while the fourth line of Cole Schwindt, Nicolas Roy, and Keegan Kolesar has proven a scoring threat, tallying three goals and five assists in the last game alone. Kolesar, in particular, is stepping up with four goals already, halfway to his previous season-high of eight.
Meanwhile, the Kings are coming off a 4-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks, ending their two-game win streak. Despite the loss, Akil Thomas managed to net a goal in his season debut after being a healthy scratch for the first nine games, providing a much-needed boost.
Adding to the intrigue, Los Angeles benched key winger Kevin Fiala after he missed a team meeting. Fiala, known for his high penalty minutes, has been under scrutiny following a costly penalty against Utah that almost shifted the momentum. The Kings will need to clean up their power play performance, as they rank 29th in the league at a low 13.2 percent, including a rough 0-for-6 showing in San Jose.
In the nets, Darcy Kuemper is expected for Los Angeles after David Rittch’s recent outing. Kuemper has strong career stats against the Golden Knights, with a .930 save percentage. Vegas may counter with Ilya Samsonov, who holds a stellar 4-1-0 record and .960 save percentage against the Kings.
With the Golden Knights on fire and the Kings facing challenges in their lineup and power play, it’s shaping up as an enticing matchup for bettors. Keep an eye on Vegas to continue their winning ways, but also watch how L.A. responds to recent setbacks.
