On Wednesday, the Vegas Golden Knights (10-5-7) return home after a three-game road trip. They went 1-1-1 on the road trip and will look to get back to their winning ways at home. They’ll face the Ottawa Senators (11-7-4) at T-Mobile Arena.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:08 p.m. PST. The Golden Knights are slight home favorites at the FanDuel Sportsbook, and the Golden Knights are climbing higher amongst the Stanley Cup betting favorites, too.

The Senators were last in action on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings. It was a low-event affair, and they lost 2-1.
