Utah HC Vs. Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights here. I just can’t get on board with Utah as I think the Hockey Club is not up to par with Vegas at home. The Golden Knights have one of the NHL’s best home-ice advantages and I think they pick up another one here. Give me the Golden Knights.
Chris’s Pick Vegas -179
