Vegas Golden Knights vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
The Vegas Golden Knights have a massive edge in terms of rest, as they haven’t played in four days, and they’re 11-3 on their home ice. The Vancouver Canucks are on the end of a back to back with a game that included overtime. Tough for the Canucks to get up and play another game. The Canucks have had their best showings on the road, so maybe they find a way, but I’m still going to lean toward Vegas at home given the rest advantage.
