Golden Knights vs Devils predictions
The Vegas Golden Knights are no strangers to high-pressure games, and with the puck about to drop at the Prudential Center, all eyes will be on their star players. Pavel Dorofeyev has been a goal-scoring machine this season with 22 goals, giving fans plenty of reasons to cheer. Keep an eye on Jack Eichel, who's more than capable of creating opportunities with his sharp playmaking skills, boasting 48 assists. Despite being listed as day-to-day with an injury, if Eichel hits the ice, expect him to make a significant impact. Even on their road record of 12-11-3, these Knights have a few tricks up their sleeves, promising an exciting showdown.
Switching gears to the New Jersey Devils, they’re playing on familiar ice with their solid home record of 15-8-4. Nico Hischier leads the charge in goals with a total of 24, though unfortunately, he’s currently out due to injury. So, the pressure is on Jesper Bratt to step up and keep the assists coming; after all, he’s got 45 of them under his belt this season. Jack Hughes, the Devils' points leader with 63, has been electric on the ice, and he’ll be eager to continue lighting the lamp against the Golden Knights. The Prudential Center might just see some fireworks from this impressive roster.
When it comes to predicting the winner, things get intriguing. The Devils have the edge in terms of familiarity with their home arena, and their current betting odds at -115 suggest they hold the upper hand. With the likes of Hughes ready to skate circles around the competition, the New Jersey faithful might have reasons to believe in another win following their recent shootout success. However, overlooking the Golden Knights would be a mistake; they've shown resilience time and again. But if I had to tip my hat to one, the Devils seem poised to extend their victory streak. What do you think? Don't be surprised if it goes right down to the wire.
