The Vegas Golden Knights' defensive solidity could prove decisive on the road against the Vancouver Canucks, given their massive contrast in shot suppression - Vegas allows just 24.4 shots per game, while Vancouver concedes 29.8. The Golden Knights are 35-26-16 overall and 17-14-7 on the road, heading into Rogers Arena on Sunday night.
Vegas's balanced attack and superior special teams units could further exacerbate Vancouver's woes; the Golden Knights average 3.19 goals per game compared to the Canucks' 2.58. The Canucks are dealing with a lengthy injury report, including goaltender Kevin Lankinen (day-to-day) and Thatcher Demko (IR-LT), which could complicate their efforts to stifle the Golden Knights' offense. With Vegas favored by 1.5 goals and the total set at 6.5, make your pick on this intriguing matchup or join the discussion on StreakChat.
