We wrap this edition of NHL predictions with a featured matchup between the Vegas Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks. Vegas is expected to go with Carl Lindbom in goal after Akira Schmid played on Saturday night. The Golden Knights are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games but have taken the last three games entering this Pacific Division matchup. Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner are for the team lead in points with 46.

San Jose is likely to turn Yaroslav Askarov after the Sharks started Alex Nedeljkovic in the comeback victory over the Dallas Stars. The Sharks are 6-4 in their last 10 games, including three consecutive games. San Jose has really took a step forward this season and are in the mix for a Stanley Cup Playoff spot. Macklin Celebrini is making his care for the Hart Trophy with 24 goals and 46 assists for 70 points.

Both teams are coming off victories on Saturday night. However, the Sharks finally get the win.

Prediction: Sharks win 5-3.
