Minnesota won its season opener 2-1 over Anaheim on Friday night when Marcus Foligno scored the winner with eight seconds left and Cam Talbot had 28 saves for the Wild. Kaapo Kahkonen will likely get the start tonight and he went 16-8-0 with a 2.88 goals-against average last season and a 2.75 GAA in four games against Los Angeles. The Kings defeated Vegas 6-2 on Thursday, but the Golden Knights look to be in disarray in the early going this season. Minnesota is 19-7 its last 26 games after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and it has won six of the past eight meetings. The Kings are 1-12 their last 13 games after a win and 29-60 playing with one day of rest. Play the Wild.
