Vegas Golden Knights vs. Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. The Blackhawks look like a team that’s playing out the string at this point, and while the Golden Knights have been better at home this season, they’ve still been able to pick up the occasional road win, especially when taking the step down in competition. I think Chicago just gets steamrolled in this game, and I think Vegas gets it done here. Give me the Golden Knights.
