San Jose at Vegas

Vegas has owned the Sharks, winning the past eight meetings, so they are the perfect team for the Golden Knights to end a four-game skid, including a 4-1 loss to Montreal yesterday. The Knights have won five of six in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 days situation, and they have won 20 of 28 against teams with losing records dating to last season. Vegas is 5-2 in its past seven games, playing on no rest. San Jose is also playing a back-to-back after defeating Vancouver 3-2. Yaroslav Askarov stopped 32 shots for the Sharks, who will likely start Alex Nedeljkovic tonight. He is 3-4-2 with a 3.02 goals-against average. San Jose is averaging 2.1 goals in its past 10 games. Take the Golden Knights.
