Utah HC vs. Golden Knights Prediction
I’m with Vegas here. The split for Vegas has been clear. Back them at home, and go against them on the road. Utah has been competitive on the road, but I think the likelihood is greater that Vegas keeps the momentum going at home and I haven’t suddenly forgotten about Utah’s recent slide. I’ll side with Vegas here.
