Golden Knights vs Canucks Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. The Vancouver Canucks this season have been a team that without question has played their best hockey on the road, but they’re also a team that has been inconsistent at times and I just feel like, at home, the Vegas Golden Knights have been far more consistent with the results that they’ve strung together. I think that Vancouver is more than capable of competing here, but in the end, I trust Vegas to get the job done more often than not so give me Vegas in this game.
