The Devils are 3-7 in the previous 10 games. Jesper Bratt is first on the team in assists (23) and points (29) so far this season.

Former Devils goalie Akira Schmid is the probable starter for the Golden Knights, who are 6-2-2 in the last 10 games. However, Vegas has also won six of its last seven games. Jack Eichel is first on the team in assists (29) and points (41).
