Los Angeles Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction: Expect a productive game

Prediction for the NHL Los Angeles Kings vs Vegas Golden Knights match, which will take place on December 28. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Los Angeles is having a very decent regular season. The Kings made significant progress last season, making it to the playoffs, but now they intend to fight for higher places. Since the beginning of the regular season, the team has shown promising results and is in great shape. In the last five meetings, the Californian team allowed only one defeat against Arizona, and that was by a shootout - 1:2, and won four times. Such a powerful run allowed the Black and white to rise to third place in the Western Conference standings, and the gap from the leader is five points.

Vegas failed last season to make the playoffs for the first time in their history. This led to the resignation of the head coach. Fortunately, at the same time, former Boston coach Bruce Cassidy became available and successfully moved into the vacant position in Paradise. His new charges began to show excellent results from the first regular season games. Even now, when the Black and Gold have a lot of personnel losses, they continue to collect points consistently. In their last six games, Vegas has won four games and lost two, allowing them to retain their lead in the Western Conference standings.

Los Angeles and Vegas are having a decent regular season, being in the top three Western Conference standings. The Knights are slightly better, leading the Kings by five points with one game left. The statistics of their last two head-to-head encounters also speak in favor of the Black and Gold, according to which they won their previous two meetings - 5:1 and 4:3. The current winning streak for the team of Bruce Cassidy has already consisted of four games in a row. As a result, we have to bet on Vegas winning the game at odds of around 2.016.

Excellent performance has characterized the recent rivalry between Los Angeles and Vegas. In the previous six head-to-head encounters, the opponents scored 45 goals (7.50 average per game). Now both teams are in good shape and on fire, so that we can count on a high-scoring rivalry once again. With this in mind, we see the optimal way to predict the total over 6.5 pucks at odds close to 2.35, and separately we should look at the bet on the total over 0.5 points of Alex Pietrangelo for 1.45.
