Golden Knights vs Red Wings Prediction 

Detroit limps into this matchup playing very poorly over the last few weeks and they will be on the road for this game. The Red Wings are 14-15-3 on the road this year, while the Golden Knights are 25-7-3 at home. Vegas has struggled a little bit in recent games, but they are one of the best home teams in the NHL and just dominated Boston in their last game. The Red Wings collapsed once again this year and it looks like they are going to miss out on the playoffs again. I know Detroit beat Vegas last weekend, but Vegas is going to get some revenge here. Take the Golden Knights -1.5 in this game.
