The Vegas Golden Knights get a soft landing tonight in a Regular Season tilt against the Vancouver Canucks, with the Knights opening as -1.5 favorites at T-Mobile Arena. Puck drops at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN+, and it's hard to see Vancouver's 21-43-8 record (13-18-3 Away) holding up against Vegas's 32-26-16 (16-12-9 Home) when the books have the total set at 6.5.
Vegas generates 3.12 goals per game, a full half-goal higher than Vancouver's 2.50, and their defensive structure is tighter, allowing only 24.3 shots compared to the Canucks' 29.6. With Thatcher Demko on IR-LT and Jonathan Lekkerimaki also out, the Canucks are running thin, which only makes a long night in Las Vegas tougher. Make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat.
