Golden Knights vs Rangers Prediction

The Golden Knights are going to be favored at home for obvious reasons, but they’re in a bit of a funk right now, and they’ve had issues stringing together wins all season. The Rangers have been road warriors all year with nine wins, and they’ve won the last two games against Vegas. The road team has won 6 of the last 10 games between the Rangers and Golden Knights. The Rangers haven’t lost a road game since October 26. I’ll gladly keep backing the Rangers on the road, grabbing the plus money in the process.
