The Vegas Golden Knights find themselves in a very tight playoff race in the Pacific Division. Along with the Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers, they have 5 games remaining and the teams are all separated by 1 point — with the Oilers currently holding the top spot in the division. Winning the Pacific Division would mean avoiding a potential first-round playoff matchup with either the Ducks or the Oilers — which would be preferred. The Golden Knights have a must-win game against the worst team in the NHL on Tuesday night. They will be on the road facing the Vancouver Canucks, who surprisingly find themselves on a 3-game winning streak. But I expect that to end on Tuesday. The Canucks are easily the worst defensive team in the league, averaging 3.86 goals against per game.
Look for the Golden Knights to take advantage of this weak defensive team and fill the net. I am not going to overthink this one, the Golden Knights need these 2 points. Give me the Golden Knights on the puck line.
Golden Knights vs Canucks prediction: Vegas -1.5 (+115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
