Randy’s Pick

The Vegas Golden Knights are in a funk at the moment, and that’s probably why oddsmakers are making them underdogs here. However, this is a spot where you get behind Vegas. The Golden Knights are better than this recent stretch indicates, and it’s fair to say they’re better than the Flames. Vegas still leads the Pacific and is still strong defensively. I’ll take the plus money.
