The Vegas Golden Knights continue their extended road trip on Wednesday night in Detroit with a matchup against the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. The Golden Knights are enduring a tough scheduling dynamic entering this contest, as they’ll be playing their 5th consecutive road game to start the post-Olympic schedule. In addition, Vegas is playing on the 2nd half of a road back-to-back after falling to the Sabres 3-2 in Buffalo on Tuesday night. The Vegas offense has stumbled coming out of the Olympic break. They managed to score 6 goals on February 25 against the Kings, but have scored just 4 total goals over their last 3 games. The Vegas goaltending situation also continues to be an issue. Adin Hill is slated to get the start between the pipes in this one, but his .858 save percentage and 3.47 goals-against average on the season don’t warrant much confidence that he will be able to slow down Dylan Larkin and company.

This game marks Detroit’s first home game since the Olympic break. Larkin is sure to get a large ovation before the game, and I expect Detroit’s captain to lead a spirited effort in this one. The Red Wings have been great at home all season long, owning a record of 18-10-2 in front of their home fans. The Red Wings also have the rest advantage in this matchup, as they haven’t played since Monday night. Even with goaltender John Gibson questionable to start in net, the Red Wings are the team to back in this matchup.
