Montreal Canadiens vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

The Golden Knights have had issues stringing together solid performances this season and this week has been forgettable with 3 straight losses and a defense that’s not holding up. Vegas also has been hit or miss at home so it’s not like the venue change helps much. The Canadiens are not only coming off two straight nice wins, but they’re on the road, where half of their season’s wins have come. You can argue the Habs have been the better team up to this point overall. I’ll take a stab with the Canadiens and the plus money.
