Going on the road may be the best thing for the Golden Knights. After rolling past San Jose, 7-2, in the first game of their four-game homestand, the Golden Knights lost their last three games. They are in serious need of a victory. Look for that win to come here against a Blues squad that has drastically underachieved all season. St. Louis has a losing home record. Las Vegas is the superior team. The Golden Knights rank both 14th in scoring and defensively. They give up the third-fewest shots on goal. The Blues are last in the league in scoring and rank 29th defensively. They have been outscored, 16-7, in their last four games. The Golden Knights handled the Blues in the team's first meeting this season, winning 4-1 on Nov. 15 at St. Louis. Take the Golden Knights.
