Money Line: -112.00 Los Angeles (Home)
Result: Loss
#68 ASA PLAY ON 8* LA Kings -115 on the Money Line over Vegas Golden Knights, Tuesday at 10:05 PM ET - The Golden Knights are not what they once were. They enter the season effectively down to a 3rd and 4th string goalie. Remember when Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner were splitting time here and there was sometimes even debates about who the true #1 was? Well Fleury has been gone awhile now and then the #1 Lehner is now out for the season (hip surgery) and that means it was supposed to be Laurent Brossoit as the starter but he is now out to begin the year because of his off-season hip surgery. So the Golden Knights are now down to what is effectively #3 and #4 goalie options in Logan Thompson and Adin Hill. Vegas also has lost some of their offensive firepower from past season's stronger clubs too so this team really has issues at both ends of the ice. The Kings, on the other hand, continue to build and are going in the right direction plus have the much better goalie options for this one with Jonathan Quick and Cal Petersen. The latter has played so well he may possibly unseat Quick as the starter. We think we’re getting some nice value laying just -115 in this one on home ice with the Kings.
