Golden Knights vs Blackhawks 8/11/20 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Chicago looked a lot better in the restart than what they did when the pause hit. The Blackhawks, though, managed to dominate the Oilers, but the goalie the Oilers had in net is not nearly as good as what the Golden Knights have available.
