David Rittich vs. Adin Hill
Get ready for an electrifying showdown between the pipes tonight! We’ve got a goaltender faceoff between David Rittich and Adin Hill, and this matchup promises some serious action.
Starting with Rittich, he’s coming off a stellar performance, turning away 14 of 15 shots in Sunday’s 4-1 victory over the Ducks. This is his third consecutive start, and while he struggled a bit earlier with an .878 save percentage and a 3.25 GAA, he’s stepping up as LA’s number-one guy while Darcy Kuemper is sidelined. He’s proven he can handle the heat, and with the Kings riding momentum, he’ll be looking to lock things down between the pipes once again.
On the other side, Adin Hill’s been a mixed bag lately. He made 21 saves on 25 shots in Thursday’s 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay, and he’s sitting at 2-2-0 with a 3.81 GAA and a shaky .851 save percentage. Hill’s given up four goals in three of his last four starts, totaling 15 goals allowed so far this season. It’s clear he’s battling, but he’ll need to find another gear if he wants to outshine Rittich tonight.
In their three matchups last season, the Kings and Golden Knights split their series. The advantage in terms of the puck line belonged to the Golden Knights in these matchups, as they posted a 2-1-2 record.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Golden Knights to secure the win and cover. Expect the Golden Knights to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Kings.
For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
