The Vegas Golden Knights hope to end a three-game losing streak as they host the Pittsburgh Penguins at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday night.
These teams met only a couple of weeks ago in Pittsburgh, and the Penguins recorded an impressive 5-0 win. Only four forwards finished without a point, and goaltender Arturs Silovs produced a 22-save shutout. The Penguins played without Sidney Crosby, making the result even more remarkable.
Crosby has been out of action since suffering a lower-body injury at the Olympics. Last week, he returned to practice, but it’s unclear when he will be ready to rejoin the lineup. Currently, the Penguins are also without Evgeni Malkin due to suspension, leaving the team without its two best players.
The Golden Knights have also lost their captain to injury, as Mark Stone was hurt against the Penguins on March 1. The team has gone 1-6-0 over the last seven games and must be desperate to get Stone back into the lineup, having slipped to third in the Pacific Division.
With only six wins from the last 18 games, Vegas finds itself in a worrying situation. The squad has to regroup and start winning games regularly again to avoid slipping out of the postseason spots. For the players, the pressure is growing, and head coach Bruce Cassidy will want to see a reaction to the recent skid.

Our Vegas Golden Knights vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
Even with several key forwards out of the lineup, the Penguins have remained productive offensively. They have scored 12 goals across the last three games. The first line combined for six points in Tuesday’s 5-4 shootout loss to Carolina, and Anthony Mantha continued to make an impact.
Manths ranks second on his team with 24 goals and has lit the lamp three times in the past two games. With 48 points, he has matched a career-high and should be full of confidence ahead of Thursday’s matchup.
Our prediction for Vegas Golden Knights vs. Pittsburgh Penguins: Penguins over 2.5 goals.
