Our second and final game of NHL predictions has the Vegas Golden Knights looking to book a spot in the Western Conference second round. However, the Golden Knights will have to go into the Delta Center and beat the Utah Mammoth. Carter Hart is once again expected to draw the start for Vegas, which has won two second consecutive overtime victories.
Jack Eichel has been red-hot this series with seven assists and eight points so far. Pavel Dorofeyev leads the way in goals so far with four. A win here would give the Golden Knights a date with the Anaheim Ducks in round two.
Karel Vejmelka will once against get the start for the Mammoth, who held the lead in the last two games before blowing them in overtime. The Czech does need to improve his save percentage in order for Utah to force Game 7.
Dylan Guenther is first on the club in goals (3) and points (5) so far this postseason. Clayton Keller and Kailer Yamamoto each have four assists for the Mammoth.
Utah has missed plenty of chances to get the series lead. However, the loud crowd will carry the Mammoth to the win.
