Vegas aims for its fifth straight win tonight when it travels to L.A., but my Golden Knights vs. Kings prediction targets the game's total instead.
Puck drop is at 10 p.m. ET from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles (TNT, HBO Max), with the Kings a slight -102 betting favorite as I make my best NHL picks for Wednesday.

💰 Golden Knights vs. Kings best bet: Over 5.5 goals (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
While Los Angeles is known for playing low-scoring, stingy games, that hasn't been the case when facing off with Vegas. The Golden Knights and Kings have combined for at least six goals in five straight meetings.
That's partly because Vegas' poor defense makes up for the Kings' lack of goal-scoring talent. That pattern should continue tonight with the Golden Knights ranking 29th in five-on-five goals against over their last 20 games.
I would've backed the Over on a 6.5 total, so I'm thrilled with DraftKings' -120 odds at 5.5 goals.
Score prediction: Kings 4, Golden Knights 3

🔥 Best Golden Knights vs. Kings prop bet: Jack Eichel Over 3.5 shots on goal (+154) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jack Eichel has found his scoring touch of late by increasing his shots on goal.
The American centerman has gone Over this total in three straight games entering tonight's matchup, and he averages nearly four per appearance this season.
While I like taking the safer route here by backing Eichel's shots prop, our Gary Pearson targets him to score against Los Angeles as part of his best NHL player props today.
