The Golden Knights get a chance to bounce back from Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss when the last-place Los Angeles Kings come to T-Mobile Arena on Sunday.
The Kings didn’t look like the Pacific Division’s worst team the last time the budding rivals played, as they defeated the Knights 5-1 on Dec. 8 at Staples Center.
“It’s a new game, but they were definitely ready for us last time,” Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault said after Saturday’s loss to the Montreal Canadiens at T-Mobile. “We have to be ready for them.”
The Kings have been lagging well behind the rest of the division most of the season, but now are one point behind Arizona after winning at San Jose 3-2 in overtime Saturday.
