Expansion Vegas is up 2-0, but both wins were close ones at home, 1-0 and 2-1 in double overtime. Now they head out on the road to a talented Los Angeles squad that needs this one badly. The Golden Knights have lost four of their last five road contests, getting outscored 19-11. The Kings are the best defensive team in the NHL, finishing tops in goals allowed and penalty killing. Ace goaltender Jonathan Quick turned aside 81 of 84 shots in Las Vegas in Games 1 and 2 and also set a franchise playoff record with 54 saves the last game. The Kings are 10-3 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game, and this is a great situational spot for the home team. Play Los Angeles.
