How to Watch: US TV: Fan Duel Sports West, Scripps Vegas, ESPN+. Canada TV: Sportsnet, TVA Sports

Time: 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Our final and featured game of NHL predictions has the Los Angeles Kings taking on the Vegas Golden Knights. Los Angeles is likely to give Anton Forsberg the start in what could be the first game for Artemi Panarin since coming over from the New York Rangers. The Kings are 4-2-4 in their last 10 games, and adding Panarin will inject some life into an offence that only scores 2.57 goals per game. Adrian Kempe has seven points in his last 10 games for Los Angeles.

Adin Hill is the confirmed starter for the Golden Knights, who will be entering the second game of a back-to-back. The Golden Knights defeated the Vancouver Canucks  5-2 and are now 3-5-2 in their previous 10 games. This includes five consecutive losses prior to the win against Vancouver. Jack Eichel leads the team in assists (45) and points (64) so far entering the Olympic break.

Check social media to see if Panarin will play for Los Angeles. However, Vegas should steady the ship with a win.

Prediction: Golden Knights win 4-1.
