The Golden Knights are 13-3 in their last 16 games playing on 0 days rest and 39-17 in their last 56 overall. The Blues are 1-6 in their last 7 home games. The under is 9-4 in Golden Knights last 13 overall. The over is 11-5 in Blues last 16 games playing on 0 days rest. The Golden Knights are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in St. Louis. The favorite is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The Vegas Golden Knights continue to pile up the victories and their win last night only adds to their confidence. The St. Louis Blues can't feel great about their loss last night, as they came back and still ended up with a losing effort. Vegas has now won four of the last five meetings against St. Louis and has feasted offensively in those contests. It's just hard to bet against the Golden Knights in their current form. I'll lay the cheap price with the road team.
Randy’s Pick Vegas Golden Knights -119
