Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The Vegas Golden Knights are heading into this game with a clear edge. Even though they've been hit or miss on the road recently, let's not forget that they've won three of their last five away games. The Washington Capitals, on the other hand, have been struggling on home ice, with their defense faltering and allowing an average of 2 goals per game in their last five home matches. Furthermore, the Caps have been lackluster in terms of offensive production, averaging a meager 1 goal per game. While the Capitals may have pulled off a slight win majority against the Knights in their recent face-offs, the chinks in their armour are evident. Therefore, a bet on the Golden Knights with a 1.5 Puck Line seems a justifiable call, considering the Knights' away form and the Capitals' recent defensive lapses.
