Vegas at Los Angeles

Expansion Vegas is up 3-0, so there is more urgency for the home team. And all three games in the series have been close, with Vegas squeezing out wins of 1-0, 2-1 in double overtime, and 3-2. The Golden Knights have lost four of their last six road contests, getting outscored 21-14. The Kings are the best defensive team in the NHL, finishing tops in goals allowed and penalty killing. It's a veteran group that has been down 3-0 in a playoff series before and came back to win, so there will be no panic. Ace goaltender Jonathan Quick has been great, turning aside 104 of 110 shots in the series, including a franchise playoff record 54 saves in Game 2. The Kings are 10-4 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game and this is a great situational spot for the home team to bust out with a one-sided win. Take Los Angeles on the puckline.
