For Vegas fans you can watch the game on the AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain with David Goucher and Shane Hindy.
The Kings enter tonight’s back to back with a thrilling win over the Nashville Predators 7-4. It was a great way to start of the first game at home. Here’s what Kings head coach Todd McLellan had to say about how they played during yesterday’s game “ We played on our toes and we played well within our system. We won faceoffs, we had pretty good possession right there, and then we were able to roll four lines. A lot of the times we stayed ahead of them in line changes and we were fresh. So, we played towards the identity we’re trying to develop. I thought in the third we reverted back to something we don’t want to be, and that’s being really passive and standoffish. There were a number of times where we were in a standoff type of forecheck, and that’s not the type of team we want to be”.
The Golden Knights are also coming off a win at home against the Calgary Flames which they won 6-2.
