New York Rangers vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I just think that the Rangers’ form on the road this season is too good to ignore, and the Golden Knights are just in a funk right now. I’m starting to have real worries about the goaltending group in Vegas, as I just don’t think the tandem of Lindbom, Schmid and Hill are good enough to hold it down for Vegas for a full season. The Rangers have the edge in goal regardless of who starts here, and I think the value is on the Rangers on the road here.
