Jets vs Golden Knights Prediction
The Golden Knights have been dominant in this fixture, as they won nine of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last nine. This season, Vegas won 4-3 at home and 3-2 on the road. Both teams secured playoffs and are now fighting for higher seeds. With a potential win here, the Golden Knights will have an opportunity to battle for the top seed in the West with a game in hand compared to Winnipeg. Seven of the last ten H2Hs went Over. Expect an entertaining clash with at least six goals. I am backing the Over.
