Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Our second and final game of NHL predictions has the Vegas Golden Knights going for the season sweep of the Detroit Red Wings. The Golden Knights are projected to give Adin Hill after playing the night before against the Buffalo Sabres. Vegas is 3-5-2 in the previous 10 games, including a three-game losing streak. Jack Eichel is first on the team in assists (48) and points (69). However, Pavel Dorofeyev leads the way in goals with 29.
John Gibson is listed as the probable starter for the Red Wings despite getting dinged up in the last game. Detroit is 4-4-2 in its last 10 games but did get a victory in its last outing against the Nashville Predators. Lucas Raymond is tops in assists (44) and points (64), while Alex DeBrincat is the club’s leading goalscorer with 31.
The Golden Knights are coming off a tough loss to the Sabres. We should see the Red Wings take advantage of this.
Prediction: Red Wings win 4-2.
