Vegas Golden Knights are first in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference and are on a two-game winning streak. They are coming off a win against St. Louis Blues in their last outing and will now take on Los Angeles Kings, who are just one spot shy of Vegas in the table. The Kings tasted defeat against Arizona Coyotes in their previous outing and will now host this game at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday, December 27th, where they will look to secure their 20th win of the season. Although these are the top two teams in the division, there is quite a gap between the two at the moment in terms of quality.
