Similar to the set of games in St. Louis, the Kings played one good game and one bad game in their two-game series against Vegas.
But, at the end of the day, that not what counts, because what was different between the set of games in St. Louis, and the set of games in Vegas is the final scores. In a results-driven league, the Kings dropped both games against the high-flying Golden Knights, departing Vegas with no points from two games played.
Entering Friday’s game, Vegas was perhaps as big of an unknown as the Kings have faced. Not because of their personnel, or their abilities, but because the team hadn’t played in 10 days due to their presence on the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list. I wondered whether the Golden Knights would come out flying and well-rested after the time off, or rusty, as a result of not playing in so many days.
