I get why the Golden Knights would be favored here, but at this price it almost feels like they’re trying to sucker us into taking Vegas here. Bottom line for me is that the Kings have nothing to lose this season as there’s little expectation for this team as a lot of people expect the next step in the rebuild. But Cal Petersen wants to show he’s worth the extension that he just signed in goal and the Kings were (no pun intended) Kings of being in close games all last year. Vegas got the win in their opener, but I didn’t like how they coasted and let Seattle back into the game and I’m also not a Robin Lehner or Malcolm Subban guy. I think the Kings are more than capable of stealing this one on home ice in their opener, so give me the Kings at plus money here.
