The Vegas Golden Knights (35-24-7) return home after a brief foray into the Pacific Northwest to face the New Jersey Devils (32-30-4), who close out a four-game trip to the Southwest. Neither team comes in with momentum, as the Devils have dropped six of their past eight and the Golden Knights have lost five of seven.
A netminder switch might be in the cards for Vegas, as goaltender Adin Hill has really struggled as of late. He's allowed no fewer than three goals in any of his past six starts, and he's averaging a save percentage of just .886 in his past 10 games. Things aren't much better for New Jersey: the Devils' power play is normally a strength, but has not scored in four consecutive games.

Our Vegas Golden Knights vs New Jersey Devils Prediction
Everything in this matchup points to a fast start and a lot of goals. Neither defense is playing well right now, and the Devils' power play is too good to continue to fire blanks. When these teams face off, there's usually a goal or two in the first period, which sets the tone for a high-scoring contest.
That played out in January in Newark, where the Devils lit the lamp twice in the first 20 minutes on their way to a 6-5 win over the Golden Knights. With both teams struggling to stop goals and a strong history of high scores in this matchup, another shootout looks like the right move. Our New Jersey Devils vs. Vegas Golden Knights prediction is over 6.5 goals.
