Edmonton Oilers vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. I’m strictly backing Vegas because of the value as I think the form both teams are in should make this game a coin flip, but Vegas has been in a nice run of form on the road and historically, the underdog’s done well in this matchup, winning 5 of the last 7 meetings. Give me the Golden Knights and the plus money.
