The Vegas Golden Knights, on the other hand, have been dominant at home with a 19-6-2 record at T-Mobile Arena. Despite recent struggles, losing six of their last eight games, Vegas remains a formidable opponent. They rank 4th in goals scored per game (3.41) and 9th in goals allowed per game (2.80). Key players include Jack Eichel, who leads the team in assists and points, and goalie Adin Hill, who has a 19-9-4 record with two shutouts.

Pick: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline (-245)

The Vegas Golden Knights are the clear favorites in this matchup, especially given their strong home record and superior defensive capabilities.

Vegas' ability to control games at T-Mobile Arena gives them the edge.
