Our second game of NHL predictions has the Vegas Golden Knights squaring off with the Washington Capitals for the first time this season. Adin Hill is the expected starter for the Golden Knights, who have won the last three games in a row. Vegas is 4-4-2 in its last 10 games, but the team is starting to round into form. Jack Eichel leads the Golden Knights in assists (47) and points (68) so far, this campaign.
Canadian Olympian Logan Thompson is the projected starter for the Capitals, who are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. This includes victories in four of their last five games. Fellow Olympian Tom Wilson leads the club in goals (23) and points (49).
This is a rematch of a previous Stanley Cup Final. However, the Capitals are more rested and should get the win.
Prediction: Capitals win 4-3.
