Tonight’s NHL action sees the Colorado Avalanche at Vegas Golden Knights for a good Western Conference matchup. Both teams have started the season off quite strongly. Currently, the Avalanche lead the Central Division with a record of 7-1-1. However, they enter this matchup off a loss against the St. Louis Blues. This will also be the third match that the team has played away from home in succession.
On the other side, this will be the Golden Knights first game at home in three fixtures. They had some success on the road beating out the Blackhawks in a shootout, and putting three past the Penguins in Pittsburgh. This is sure to be a tough match to predict, so who are we favoring and why?
