Let\u2019s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Thursday, February 5.<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights prediction<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights best bet: Golden Knights moneyline (-135)<\/p>\n The Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> are playing better than their 3-5-2 record would indicate over the last 10 games. A lot better.<\/p>\n They have generated 139 high-danger chances while conceding just 98. That\u2019s a 58.65% share, slotting them second to only the Dallas Stars league-wide.<\/p>\n Put simply, Vegas is creating a lot better chances than they\u2019re giving up. They’re also loaded with firepower to help them convert those chances.<\/p>\n They have largely been undone by goaltending. Luckily for them, that area of their team shouldn\u2019t be as problematic tonight.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Kings<\/a> have scored 141 goals this season, second-fewest in the league. Only the Calgary Flames have found the back of the net fewer times.<\/p>\n The Kings also rank 30th in shooting percentage. That\u2019s far from ideal heading into a matchup with a Golden Knights team that allows only 24.8 shots per game.<\/p>\n Newcomer Artemi Panarin will not play, with the Kings opting to give him the break to skate and get up to speed with the systems of his new team.<\/p>\n Whether Vegas outscores its goaltending problems, or simply limits shots so effectively they don\u2019t show up, I expect them to win this game.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights same-game parlay<\/p>\n Mark Stone<\/a> hasn\u2019t scored in six straight games, his longest drought of the season. He has, however, scored in 10 of his past 18 home dates and was shifted back onto the top line with Jack Eichel in last night\u2019s game.<\/p>\n He should get plenty of good feeds from one of the league\u2019s best playmakers.<\/p>\n The volume continues to be there for Alex Laferriere<\/a> regardless of opponent. He has cleared this line in seven of his past 10, including against strong shot suppression sides like Philadelphia, St. Louis and\u2026Vegas!<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights SGP<\/p>\n Alex Laferriere Over 1.5 shots on goal<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Los Angeles +130 | Vegas -150<\/p>\n Puck line: Los Angeles +1.5 (-190) | Vegas -1.5 (+160)<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 5.5 (-135) | Under 5.5 (-115)<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Kings vs Golden Knights trend<\/p>\n Mark Stone has scored in six of his past 10 games in Vegas.
