Los Angeles is riding high winning four in a row capped by a huge 4-1 win at Vegas on Wednesday night and the Golden Knights couldn't get anything past Cam Talbot until late in the third period as he stopped 37 of 38 shots. It's doubtful he'll play a back-to-back and that means Pheonix Copley is likely in net tonight for the Kings, who have allowed only four goals during the streak. Pittsburgh destroyed hapless San Jose 10-2 and then caught Anaheim in a letdown spot and beat the Ducks 2-0. The Kings have won four of the past five meetings with the Penguins, who might go with Magnus Hellberg tonight as starting goalie Tristan Jarry is questionable with an injury. Pittsburgh is 3-9 its past 12 games following a win and the home team has won eight of nine meetings. Los Angeles is 24-8 after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game. Take the Kings - Max Play.
