Senators vs. Golden Knights Prediction

I’m with Vegas here. The split for Vegas has been that they win at home and have struggled on the road. Historically, Ottawa has had issues going to Vegas and getting the job done and while it’s tempting to think that that would be bucked in this game, I’m not ready to buy into Ottawa just yet. I think we’re getting a decent price considering that Vegas has owned Ottawa at home over the years and as such, I’ll buy into Vegas here.
