Here's my expectations for tonight's games!
Vegas Golden Knights - Minnesota Wild
The Wild have given Vegas a good run for it in the previous games, but both times Vegas ended up winning anyway. While I can see Wild get it on the third try, I still believe more in the Golden Knights. Vegas wins!
St Louis Blues - San Jose Sharks
After a bad spell, the Blues are starting to look better again, even though they lost their last game. The Sharks are the weaker team, and while I don't rule them out... St Louis wins!
Ottawa Senators - Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have dominated the Senators this season, winning four out of four. Edmonton have their strength in offense, and Ottawa struggle to tend to their own net. A lethal combination that spells disater for the Senators. Edmonton wins!
Arizona Coyotes - Colorado Avalanche
The Yotes are gritty, they defend well, and they have good goalies. They grab wins here and there against the big boys, but I have to give the Avs the better chance here. Colorado wins!
Montreal Canadiens - Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have really improved lately. The Canadiens are hard to place right now. The Nucks have struggled against the Habs, but most of those games were when Vancouver were playing really poor. I could see this one go either way, but I lean slightly towards that the Canucks have the better chance. Vancouver wins!
Los Angeles Kings - Anaheim Ducks
A battle of California! And there's no doubt that the Kings have been the best team in the Golden State this season! The Ducks have been trending in the right direction, and they definitely have a chance, but not the better chance. Los Angeles wins!
In summary, my winners are:
Vegas Golden Knights
St Louis Blues
Edmonton Oilers
Arizona Coyotes
Vancouver Canucks
Los Angeles Kings
