Golden Knights vs. Canucks: Odds & Prediction

The Vegas Golden Knights are +100 underdogs, while the Vancouver Canucks are -120 favorites, with the over/under set at six goals.

Vegas beat Vancouver in a one-sided game last week, but on the road, the Golden Knights have struggled. However, Vegas has had success against Vancouver this season. Tomas Hertl is expected to make his Vegas debut on Monday, which will help the team's offense.

The Canucks' struggles should continue here, as Vegas will get out to an early lead like it did last week to get the win, as the Golden Knights are fighting for a playoff spot.

Prediction: Vegas 4, Vancouver 3.
