Chicago at Vegas

There is going to be a buzz in the air in Las Vegas when the Golden Knights host the Blackhawks. That's because goalie Carter Hart is expected to make his first start with the Golden Knights. Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Knights on Oct. 24, less than three months after he was acquitted of a sexual assault case where he and four others were charged in an incident involving Canada’s World Junior team from 2018. Monday was the first day Hart and the other four players charged were eligible to return to the NHL. The Golden Knights have elite talent, but they definitely can use a boost in net. Las Vegas is coming off a much-needed 4-3 win against the Sharks this past Saturday that snapped a four-game losing streak. The Blackhawks may not have their full intensity after upsetting the Ducks 5-3 at home on Sunday. This is only Chicago's second road game since Nov. 9. The Blackhawks were destroyed 9-3 by Buffalo in their previous away game on Nov. 21. Take the Golden Knights.
