San Jose at Vegas

Banged up Vegas is getting it done with offense, but they run into a talented San Jose team that is a powerhouse on defense, tops in goals allowed and in penalty killing. San Jose is 5-2 on the road after a 3-1 victory at Arizona on Wednesday, allowing 11 goals in seven road contests. Goalie Martin Jones is on a roll, compiling a 9-3-1 mark over the last 13 games. His 2.11 goals against average ranks second in the NHL while his .926 save percentage ranks sixth. San Jose is 24-15 ATS away against a team with a winning record. Vegas is on a 2-for-14 run on the power play and down to backup goalies because of so many injuries. No. 4 goaltender Maxime Lagace goes here and hasn't been sharp at 5-5-1, with a 3.50 goals-against average and a poor .873 save percentage. Back the superior defensive squad and play San Jose.
