Chicago Blackhawks vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on Chicago +1.5 in this game. I think the Golden Knights are the better team on paper, but the thing is that the Blackhawks have been feisty. Now granted, their last three wins have all come against Utah, but I think that Chicago can compete here and potentially win this game outright. Give me the Blackhawks +1.5.
