There is a single game remaining on the schedule this regular season in the Pacific Division for Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings (23-18-14) in the West late this week before the Winter Olympic three-week break this upcoming week on the road against the Vegas Golden Knights (26-16-14) at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada.
It also looks like tonight in Vegas will be the final game for Hiller and the Kings without star forward Artemi Panarin in the active roster lineup in the West. Panarin is set to join the Kings' active roster lineup this regular season after the three-week break for the Winter Olympics this month in mid-to-late February.
Tonight's game against the Golden Knights on the road in Vegas in the back end of back-to-backs for the Kings is important to get two points in the standings in the West in the playoff race this upcoming spring for the postseason.
Here are the betting odds and spread information for the matchup between the Kings and Golden Knights in the final game for LA before the Winter Olympic break next week and the back end of back-to-back games on the road at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV, on Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. PT.
