The Los Angeles Kings are in Las Vegas for an Oct. 10 game against the Golden Knights, still trying to earn their first win of the 2026-27 NHL season, according to a game preview from The Hockey News.
Los Angeles has opened the season 0-2-1. Its latest result was a 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, and Alex Laferriere scored the only Kings goal in that game.
The Kings will be short-handed. The Hockey News reports that Mats Zuccarello (upper-body injury), Alex Turcotte (undisclosed) and Kevin Fiala (leg surgery) will all miss the game, and Erik Gustafsson is a scratch. Vegas will be without Victor Olofsson (undisclosed) and has scratched Dylan Coghlan.
In goal, Darcy Kuemper is set to start for Los Angeles, with Carter Hart starting for Vegas, per the preview.
The Golden Knights come in after a 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs, in which they came back from a 3-0 deficit. The publisher lists the start time as 10:00 p.m. Eastern.
