The Vegas Golden Knights have proven they are the real deal and will be riding a 5-game winning streak when they head to Staples Center tonight to face the Los Angeles Kings. Vegas will be playing back-to-back games, after a decisive win last night over the Anaheim Ducks, so fatigue could be an issue. Los Angeles on the other hand will be well rested, last playing on December 23rd. Vegas has been scary at home, with a record of 15-2-0-1, but take them out of Clarke County and they come back down to earth, with a record of 9-7-0-1. The Kings boast a home record of 11-5-2-0 and are 5-0 in their last 5 at Staples Center. Jonathan Quick is expected between the pipes for Los Angeles and we all know his track record. The Kings should get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS
