Golden Knights vs Kings prediction

Golden Knights vs Kings best bet: Shea Theodore Over 1.5 shots (-150)

Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy did not ease Shea Theodore back into the lineup, playing him 22+ minutes in each of his first two games.

While Theodore did not post a gaudy volume, he still managed to record multiple shots in both contests — pushing his season hit rate above 70%.

Theodore is well rested, having had two days off, and has consistently produced under those circumstances this season, recording multiple shots in four of five games while averaging seven attempts per night.

Los Angeles has largely suppressed shots well in recent years, and Theodore has still gone Over this line in three of the past four head-to-head meetings.

Expect a well-rested Theodore to fire away tonight.
