The Vegas Golden Knights (17-10-11, 9-4-5 Away) will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard when they take on the Blues (15-18-8, 8-9-5 Home) Friday afternoon in St. Louis, MO, at the Enterprise Center. The puck is scheduled to drop at 3 p.m. EST with coverage provided by ESPN+.

They come into this on a three-game losing streak after their latest game, a 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. Prior to their last win (7-2 vs. San Jose on December 23), they had lost three in a row. The Golden Knights have played well at times this season and recorded wins over some of the NHL’s best teams, but they have not been able to get it together lately; since December 17, they’ve been outscored 29-23. As for the Blues, St. Louis has been trying to reach .500 on the season but has not been able to make up ground, with six losses in their last ten games, including their last two (4-2 vs. Buffalo and 6-1 vs. Colorado).

Our Florida Panthers vs New York Rangers Prediction

Vegas has been dealing with consistency issues this season, but not to the same extent as St. Louis. While the Golden Knights have lost three in a row heading into this game, they are still a vastly superior team to the struggling Blues (outscored 10-3 in the last two). Playing at home will help St. Louis, but it will not be enough against a better Vegas team.
