Golden Knights vs Kings Preview

Vegas (1-0-0) rekindles its rivalry with Los Angeles on Thursday after holding off the NHL’s newest team.

The Seattle Kraken didn’t let the Stanley Cup-contending Golden Knights have an easy opening night on Tuesday. The Kraken erased a a 3-0 deficit to tie the game 3-3. Golden Knights center Chandler Stephenson prevented the upset by scoring the game-winning goal for a 4-3 win. Vegas goalie Robin Lehner notched with win with 28 saves.

Los Angeles hasn’t played since its last preseason game on Oct. 9 against the Anaheim Ducks. The Kings look to get back to the playoffs after missing last season with a 21-28-7 record.

With new players coming in such as Philip Danualt and Viktor Arvidsson on offense and Alexander Edler bringing his experience to the defense, the Kings expect a postseason run. The Kings haven’t made the postseason since the 2017-2018 season.

“We’re past the rebuilding part,” Kings forward Anze Kopitar said per NHL.com’s Jon Lane. “We’re here to win. We’ve been in a position the last few years where we’re more in a rehab mode. It’s time to make some noise and take the next step.”

Los Angeles’ next step is to beat a Vegas team that’s favored to win the Pacific Division and play deep into the Stanley Cup playoffs. For the Golden Knights, it’s a chance to get an early hold on the Pacific.

Two Golden Knights prospects will get their first regular season action against the Kings. Forwards Jonas Rondjerg and Jake Leschyshyn got called up by the Golden Knights on Wednesday according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s David Schoen.

“They’re both excited, and they deserve to be here,” Golden Knights head coach Pete DeBoer said of Leschyshyn and Rondbjerg. “We needed two spots filled, and those guys earned that opportunity on merit and the camps they had.”
