Chicago Blackhawks vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

The Vegas Golden Knights are easily the better team and they have an even bigger edge at home. Vegas should be comfortable favorites especially when you consider the Blackhawks are arguably the worst team in the NHL. However, this price is absolutely nuts when you factor in the Golden Knights have lost 12 of their last 18 games. Also, the Blackhawks beat Vegas last month as a +200 underdog. The Golden Knights should win, but I’m not laying this price with a team free-falling. I’ll take a shot in the dark with the Blackhawks.
