Los Angeles Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

The Kings are awful defensively right now and have lost 9 straight games dating back to last season’s playoffs. The Kings haven’t won a game since April 13. That was 180 days ago. The Golden Knights are in great form and have an offense that’s humming at the moment. The season is still young, but these are two teams heading in completely different directions. Give me the Golden Knights at a reasonable price.
