Kings vs. Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. The Kings were one of the best teams in the NHL early on on the road last year, but I just don’t have that same feeling about them this year, and I have to think that the Kings are a bit road-weary here. The Golden Knights are at home where they play their best by a fair margin, and I think that Vegas gets back on track at home. Give me Vegas.
