Along with the Flames and Stars, the Lightning remain the third team that only knows what it is to win. They have two victories in two attempts and looked quite solid as in addition to winning, they covered both cases with final scores of 4-1. Two days after their last victory, they will host the Golden Knights with a goal differential of +6.

The Vegas Golden Knights lost their unbeaten streak of 3 games when they fell in Washington against the Capitals with a score of 4-2. At no point in that last game were they ahead on the scoreboard, despite having shot up to 12 times in the 3rd period. Without a doubt the most important moment in the game was when the Capitals scored 3 goals against them in just over 3 minutes in the 2nd period. Also, Adin Hill was not too accurate as a goalkeeper as he only blocked an 818 SV% that day.

In beating the Golden Knights, the Capitals played rough, recording 24 hits compared to the visitors' 9. After winning their first three games in Las Vegas, they lost their first game away from home as favorites with odds of -128, yet the betting sites set them as favorites to win again two days later.

Both teams are expected to start in goal with the first-choice goalkeepers Hill for Las Vegas and Vasilevskiy for Tampa Bay. It could be another high-scoring game, as the Golden Knights didn't need too many games to already rack up an impressive 17 goals.
