Kings at Golden Knights projected goalies

David Rittich (2-1-0, 2.36 GAA, 0.891 SV%) vs. Adin Hill (2-2-0, 3.81 GAA, 0.851 SV%)

Rittich was the winning goaltender in these back-to-back wins in Montreal and Anaheim, rebounding after allowing four goals on 14 shots in Toronto on October 16. He was pulled midway through the second period in that game against the Leafs.

Hill has been shaky thus far, allowing at least three goals in each of his four starts and conceding at least four goals in three of those games. On home ice, he allowed seven goals on 54 shots, but he benefited from 12 goals with offensive support in those two wins.

Kings at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Kings 3

Moneyline

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-145) are worth playing slightly as moderate favorites against the tired Kings (+120). LA has been well behaved on this road odyssey to start the season, but a trip to Vegas is a tough way to wrap things up, even if Hill has been a little on the giving side.

Puck line/against the spread

The Kings +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than twice your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a little insurance.

If you were to get the Kings involved in a multi-leg parlay that would be fine, but as a standalone bet it’s just too expensive and doesn’t offer enough returns.

PASSAGE.

Top/Bottom

MORE THAN 6 (+100) at even money is a good game.

Once again, Hill has allowed 15 goals in just four starts so far, with the Over going 5-1 in six games for the Golden Knights. They scored three or more goals in five of their games, while allowing four or more goals on four occasions.

The Kings have been shorthanded in 4 of 6 games, but the Over is 2-2 in their last 4 games, with the Kings allowing 14 goals in a 2-game stretch in Ottawa and Toronto from October 14-16.
