Edmonton Oilers vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on Edmonton here. I think the Golden Knights are not the same team that they’ve been at home over the years, and I think that the Golden Knights could end up struggling here once again even with the shambles that Edmonton’s goaltending has been in for much of the year. Edmonton isn’t playing much better right now, but it’s simply a fade of Vegas more than anything else. Give me the Golden Knights in this game.
