Still in search of their first win in the Peter Laviolette era, the Los Angeles Kings make the short trip to Las Vegas to face the defending Western Conference champion Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Kings travel to face the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday seeking their first win under head coach Peter Laviolette. Los Angeles enters the matchup with an 0-2-1 record following a 2-1 home loss to the Florida Panthers. Despite the slow start, team leaders Drew Doughty and Joel Edmundson expressed optimism about the team's progress.

Meanwhile, the Golden Knights enter following a 4-3 shootout comeback victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, powered by Jack Eichel and a shootout-winning goal from rookie Trevor Connelly.
