Our featured game of NHL predictions has the Chicago Blackhawks visiting the Vegas Golden Knights. Spencer Knight is the probable starter for the Blackhawks, who are 4-4-2 in the last 10 games. Chicago stopped a five-game losing streak with a victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Connor Bedard is leading the Blackhawks in goals (16), assists (21), and points (37).

Vegas could go with the controversial Carter Hart in goal for this game. This would be Hart’s first start since his acquittal in the Hockey Canada scandal. Hart had some struggles with Henderson in the AHL, but insider Kevin Weekes said that Hart is expected to draw the start. Jack Eichel is tied for first in goals (11) and leads in assists (21) and points (32).

It’ll be interesting to see how Hart reacts, but the team in front of him will help him.

Prediction: Golden Knights win 4-2.
