On Wednesday, the Panthers faced off against the LA Kings and they ended up losing 2-1.

The Panthers will meet the Kings and Blackhawks after this game.

Panthers vs Golden Knights Prediction

The Panthers are on tired legs and that is going to be the difference here. The Panthers’ offense at times has been inconsistent and two games ago they really struggled to get any sort of offense going here. The Golden Knights offense is going to get out to a fast start and that will end up being the difference here as the home team will get the job done. Back the Golden Knights on the puck line.
