Golden Knights vs. Devils Prediction

I’m on the Devils in this game. I know this slump for the Vegas Golden Knights won’t last forever, but until they break out of it, it’s hard to have confidence in backing this team in any way, shape or form. Not to mention, Vegas is on the road here which is not an ideal situation for this Golden Knights team that’s relied on one of the best home ice environments in the entire NHL. New Jersey’s been inconsistent as of late, but the Golden Knights have been consistently losing games and I think that New Jersey can get the job done on home ice at a reasonable price here. Give me New Jersey.
