Logan Thompson made 32 saves, bouncing back from a shaky performance, and the Vegas Golden Knights stopped a four-game slide by holding off the Kings for a 3-2 victory Thursday night. I don’t know how long I’m going to be in the NHL and how long I’ll be a Vegas Golden Knight, but I come to the rink every day with a smile on my face.” Thompson said he wanted to return to the crease right after the loss to the Ducks. We just want the goaltender, not to win us games, we just don’t want them to lose games.” It was just the second regulation road loss for the Kings, who are 13-2-1 away from home.
