The NHL returns after a three-day hiatus. We're set for a 12-game slate tonight, with a few marquee matchups leading the way. The Capitals take on the Rangers, the Wild square off against the Jets, and the Oilers and Flames face off in another edition of the Battle of Alberta. Let's dive into my top three bets on the ice tonight. And here’s a closer look at Golden Knights vs. Kings.

Out west, the Kings continue to shock the hockey masses as they're currently 19-12-6 (44 points) and looking up at only the Golden Knights (49 points) in the Pacific Division. The big question regarding Los Angeles is whether or not their style of play is sustainable. If the playoffs started today, the Kings would be the only team in the 16-team bracket with a negative goal differential (-7). The next closest team is Calgary at +1. They'll look to narrow the gap tonight in this divisional showdown set for 10:30 p.m. ET from L.A.
