- Where: Vivint Arena (neutral arena), Salt Lake City, Utah.
- When: Thursday, October 6, 2022, 9:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Vegas Golden Knights

- Probability: (10/11)
Ahead of their regular season debut on October 11, precisely against the Kings, the Vegas team will take advantage of this Golden Knights vs Kings, which is the penultimate preseason game, to finish fine-tuning some details.
One of the main focuses will be fixed on who will end up as the team’s starting goalkeeper, as head coach Bruce Cassidy has yet to decide between Logan Thompson or Aidan Hill. The former is expected to open against the Kings on Thursday, being his last chance to tie up the job after Robin Lehner’s injury.
Cassidy also has some doubts about the names that will make up his third line of forwards, although the most important thing is that for these last two games he wants to put on the ice the team that is most similar to the one he will use on opening day against the Kings.
Betting on the Los Angeles Kings
- Preseason Record: 2-3
- Probability: (10/11)
Few things head coach Todd McLellan needs to adjust Thursday heading into the season opener.
After being eliminated in the first round of the postseason last year, the Los Angeles team arrives with a thirst for revenge and a talented team to fight again in the Western Conference.
For the clash against the Golden Knights, McLellan hopes to see a better performance from two important men in his second line of forwards in Trevor Moore and Phillip Danault, who, although they have secured their places, need to improve their performance after a somewhat slow preseason.
JefeBet Prediction
Golden Knights vs Kings will be Vegas’ second game this preseason, and they could come with a little more enthusiasm not only because several players are expected to have a good game to get a spot, but also to be able to even the series after losing last September 26.
Bruce Cassidy will be looking to field a similar team to the one he will have on opening day, while Los Angeles has a lot more things in place and could be looking to save some starters for the matchup in five days.
Prediction: Golden Knights to win.
