The Golden Knights are coming into the game here against the Canucks in this game and that is going to make it rather easier for the Golden Knights as the Canucks are not that good of a team. What else will help the Golden Knights is the fact the offense has started to get a little bit better and the team has really come together as they have won 5 games straight.

The Golden Knights have relied on Marc-Andre Fleury in the net this year with a total of 33 wins, but has turned away 91.2% of the shots that he has faced, but has a 2.49 goals against average. Vancouver is starting to come back to the season here and that is going to make it rather easy for the Canucks to have a chance to challenge the Golden Knights in the game here. However, the Canucks are sorely missing a lot of the talent that has really come together on the yer for the Golden Knights on the year so far.

The Canucks have been able to rely on Jacob Markstrom in the net on the year as he has brought home 24 wins on the year with a 91.5% of the shots he has faced turned away. The Markstrom has been able to allow only 2.70 goals a game.

The Golden Knights are in the middle of the playoff battle and that is going to help them out in this game here as the Golden Knights know they have to win to keep their spot secure. The Canucks, though, are playing horrible on the season and that means the Canucks may not come into the game as strong as what you would expect to see, even for a team that has bounced back. Look for the Golden Knights to want this more and help them in getting the win here. Final Score Prediction, Vegas Golden Knights win 3-2.
