Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
The Penguins haven’t had much success on the road this season, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back, which doesn’t help them much here. The Golden Knights have been rolling up to this point, and they’re lighting it up on the offensive end. Against potentially tired legs, the Golden Knights should like their chances to win comfortably. The line is what it is for a reason, and the way the Penguins are struggling defensively, I don’t like their chances. Give me the Vegas Golden Knights at home, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
