The Vegas Golden Knights hit the ice for the second-straight night as they battle Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. On October 17, Vegas defended home ice in a blowout 6-2 win over Pittsburgh. Can the Penguins return the favor? Here is our Golden Knights vs. Penguins prediction.
Vegas finds themselves on a seven-game span of Eastern Conference opponents, and things have not gone well so far, as they are 1-1-2. Overall, they are 1-3-2 over their last six games. One of the biggest reasons is their offense has completely dried up, averaging roughly 2.10 goals per game. Now they find themselves on the road in the second half of a back-to-back. Pittsburgh hasn’t been taking the league by storm by any means, but overall they are 2-2-1 since Vegas’ beatdown on them, with every loss finishing within one goal. With no game since Saturday, home ice advantage, and a hunger to send Vegas payback will generate a winning effort. We are siding with Pittsburgh in our Golden Knights vs Penguins prediction.
