Golden Knights vs Oilers prediction
The Golden Knights have had success against the Oilers, which includes a 3-1 win back in February. The Golden Knights and plus money is always worth a look given their ability to win anywhere. However, the Oilers have been the sharper team this season, and they’re at home, where they’re 26-8-3 on the year. I’d need more bang for my buck to pull the trigger with Vegas on the road. Give me the Oilers at home and the reasonably cheap price.
