Kings vs. Golden Knights live stream, Game 3: TV schedule, online and more
By Paul Horvat
Preview as the Golden Knights travel to LA up 2 games to none and look to put a strangle hold on the series.
As we look ahead to Game 3 between the Vegas Golden Knights and LA Kings it’s often said in these situations but the Kings must win Game 3 on home ice if they want to have any chance of winning the series.
The emotional hangover that generally comes from a team losing an overtime game let alone the longest overtime game in both teams history the questions for Game 3 are can the Kings sustain pressure on Marc-Andre Fleury?
Can their stars Jeff Carter, Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown along with Drew Doughty make a difference in the series. Doughty sat out Game 2 as he was suspended for a hit to the head of Will Carrier in Game 1.
Without their best defenseman, the Kings were under siege most of game.
If the Kings are going to have any chance in this series they’ve got to figure out a way to slow them down and if their play in the first two games is any indication, Los Angeles looks like an old team. For starters, it simply can’t keep up with the speed of the Knights.
The Golden Knights strategy is the same as it was in Games 1 and 2, just come out and play their game in what at this point has been a fast-paced offensive barrage that if not for Jonathan Quick’s world-class play both of the first two games could very well have been blowouts.
On the other side, Fleury has played solid hasn’t been seeing that many shots. So line up all the clichés, back against the wall, must-win for the Kings, pick any one you like. The fact is that Vegas looks unstoppable right now.
Here’s how to watch the game on Sunday at 10:30 ET from Staples Center.

Predictions for Game 3
It looks bleak for the Kings heading home down 2-0. Drew Doughty will have some extra fire in his belly and the Kings will move the puck much better than in Game 2. We have not heard from William Karlsson yet in this post season and he will not be quiet for the entire series. Anze Kopitar has also been quiet and that should change with this must win game.
The Knights look superior in every facet of their game right now and the prediction is a higher-scoring game than the first two but with the same result.
