LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights open a rare back-to-back home-and-home, two-game series on Monday night at Staples Center.
The Kings (33-24-5) dropped a controversial 4-3 decision to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday for their second straight home loss. Los Angeles trailed 4-2 with less than a minute to play and appeared to have tied the score with 9.4 seconds remaining on a goal by winger Dustin Brown, who had drawn the Kings within 4-3 with 18 seconds remaining.
Brown looked to be denied at the goal line by Edmonton goaltender Cam Talbot for the tying goal, but after the final horn sounded, a video review determined that the puck had crossed the goal line and was ruled a goal by the referees.
