St. Louis Blues vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. I’m not a fan of the Blues to begin with in their current form, but the back-to-back spot doesn’t help matters. I don’t like laying these kinds of heavy prices with the Golden Knights, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s the lesser of two evils here backing the Golden Knights at home where they’ve at least had a home ice edge since joining the NHL a decade ago. Give me the Golden Knights here.
