Meeting statistics

The current form of the Kings

Los Angeles holds a very worthy regular season campaign. Already last season, the Kings made significant progress, making it to the playoffs, but now they clearly intend to compete for higher places. From the very beginning of the regular season, Todd McLellan’s wards have been showing good results, and now they are in excellent shape generally speaking. In the last five meetings, the California team allowed only one defeat, from Arizona, and even then in shootouts (1-2), won in four other encounters. Such a powerful breakthrough allowed the ‘black and white’ to rise to third place in the Western Conference standings, five points behind the leader, which is exactly their next rival.

The current form of the Knights

Vegas failed last season by not making the playoffs for the first time in its history. Of course, this led to the resignation of the head coach. Fortunately for them, at the same time, ex-Boston mentor Bruce Cassidy was released, and successfully filled a vacant position in the Paradise team. From the very first games of the regular season, his wards began to show excellent results. Even now, when the ’black-gold’ have a lot of personnel issues, they continue to steadily collect points. In the last six games, Vegas won four wins and two losses, which allowed them to maintain their leadership in the Western Conference standings.
