St. Louis Blues vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
The St. Louis Blues have put together a hell of a start, and it makes them worth a look in the underdog role. However, this will be the Blue’s third game since Tuesday, and that’s a lot so quickly out of the gate when guys are still trying to get their feet under them. Also, the Blues played an overtime game last night. A lot of hockey out of the gate, and Vegas isn’t an easy place to play regardless of the circumstances. The Vegas Golden Knights have won 5 of their last 7 games against the Blues. Give me Vegas, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
