The. Golden Knights are 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. The Sharks are 2-5 in their last 7 games as an underdog and 2-7 in their last 9 home games. The under is 7-2 in Golden Knights last 9 overall. The over is 4-1 in Sharks last 5 overall. The Golden Knights are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

The Vegas Golden Knights are on one of those runs where you probably shouldn't be stepping in front of them, and they're led by one of the best defenses in the league. Vegas also just beat the Sharks a couple days ago. The San Jose Sharks can't get out of their own way thanks to a rough defense, and they've had no recent success against Vegas. Give me the Golden Knights and the PL for max betting value.
