Detroit Red Wings vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights here. This is a quick revenge spot for the Golden Knights, who just lost to Detroit in Detroit a week ago. But the difference this time around is that Vegas is at home where they’ve been a completely different team this season compared to their mark away from home this year. I think the Golden Knights pummel the Red Wings and add to Detroit’s misery here. Give me Vegas in this one.
