Vegas Golden Knights vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights here. I just think this is a game that features two teams headed in different directions right now as Ottawa still hasn’t found themselves after their off-ice issues with Linus Ullmark, and I think that those issues continue. Vegas is just in far better form and I think they get it done here. Give me Vegas.
