Our Vegas Golden Knights vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
The name of the game has been cutting it close for the Knights this season, with, as previously mentioned, 19 games decided by one score, including both against San Jose this season. The Sharks are just the kind of team Vegas needs right now, a team with lackluster defense and not a lot of scoring. As long as they don’t give the game away, Vegas should win this one with ease. Even though both wins vs. San Jose were by one score, I can see them winning by two this time.
Our Vegas vs. San Jose Pick: Vegas -1.5
