The Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings have played three one-goal games, with the Knights emerging with wins in all three.

 

And attendance at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles has been just as close.

 

Game 2 attendance at T-Mobile Arena: 18,588 (record for a Knights game)

 

Game 3 attendance at Staples Center: 18,484.

 

And here’s the twist.

 

The owner of the Staples Center also owns a piece of T-Mobile Arena.
