The Golden Knights are a team that would really like to have a better chance playing in this game than what they have done in the past couple of games heading into play on Saturday. The Golden Knights had lost 2 straight games to the Bruins and the Coyotes. However, what is interesting is the Golden Knights offense was able to do really well against the Bruins, but against the Coyotes the teams offense completely failed them.
This year the Golden Knights offense has been able to average 3.25 goals a game. The team has converted on the power play at 21.4% this year. The Golden Knights have allowed 2.50 goals a game, but have killed off 93.3% of the penalties they have faced.
The Kings have struggled this year and that is going to continue to be an issue for the Kings. The main problem for the Kings is the fact that their defense has not been able to really slow anyone down on the season and that definitely is a major issue heading into the game here against a good Golden Knights offense.
The Kings on the season have been able to score only 3.67 goals a game. The Kings have converted on the power play at 18.2% on the season, but the penalty kill has only killed off 66.7% of the penalties they have faced. The Kings have given up 5.67 goals a game on the year so far.
