Golden Knights vs Devils: Odds & Prediction
Vegas is -110, while New Jersey is -110 with the over/under is set at 5.5 goals.
The Golden Knights haven't been playing good hockey as of late, but this is a good spot for Vegas to get back into the win column. New Jersey is without Markstrom who has been a key reason for the Devils' success.
Hill, meanwhile, has been stellar this season as he should limit New Jersey's offense to get a low-scoring win here.
Prediction: Vegas 3, New Jersey 2.
