Winnipeg at Vegas

Vegas lost its first game of the season by a 3-2 score against Calgary following a 3-0 start, but Logan Thompson has been excellent in net with a 2.03 goals-against average and .938 save percentage and everyone has been contributing with 16 skaters having at least one point. Winnipeg is playing a back-to-back after winning 4-3 in overtime last night after squandering a two-goal lead. Connor Hellebuyck had 30 saves for the Jets, but David Rittich might be in net tonight in this scheduling situation. The Golden Knights have a new coach in Bruce Cassidy and so far he has them playing well in all phases after Vegas suffered through an injury-filled 2021-22 season. The Knights have won eight of 11 home games dating to last season and the Jets have lost five of their past six road contests. Vegas has a score to settle after losing all three meetings last season. Take the Golden Knights as a Max Play.
