VGK has a game in hand and leads the L.A. Kings by only five points heading into tonight's game in L.A. against the Kings. The Golden Knights have won two straight and the Kings have a points streak of five straight games. We want to see if the VGK comes out flat in tonight's contest off the holiday break. We can expect either the return of Jack Eichel or Jonathan Marchessault tonight. VGK sent Jonas Rondbjorg, Brayden Pachel and Pavel Dodofayev down to AHL Henderson, so we can expect a corresponding move today. The Kings are getting solid goaltending from Pheonix Copley, who brought up from the AHL level and has responded very well. He is expected to be in net for L.A. tonight. They have balanced scoring and this rivalry is sure to heat up. We also spent some time dissecting an NHL.com article about Bill Foley's new ownership in Premier League AFC Bournemouth. It's a puff piece on what the fans in the UK can expect from their owner. And, we have predictions and Locks of the Knight.
