Montreal Canadiens vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
I considered the Montreal Canadiens and the plus money given their last two efforts, but I just couldn’t get there. The Habs don’t have the offensive horses to hang with Vegas, and the defense remains a mess. The Vegas Golden Knights have also won 6 straight games against the Canadiens, scoring 3 or more goals in every game. Vegas lights up when it plays Montreal. Also, this is a letdown spot for the Canadiens after that monster upset win over the Oilers. Give me the Golden Knights.
