Two teams with different aspirations in mind heading into the season will collide tonight, with the Vegas Golden Knights visiting the Montreal Canadiens.
Vegas Golden Knights (-205) vs. Montreal Canadiens (+168) Total: 6.5 (O-105, U-115)
After missing the playoffs last season, the Golden Knights have been on a mission early on and are one of the NHL’s most dominant franchises. Over their first twelve games, they’ve stood out with a 10-2 record, while the home side Canadiens, are sitting at 5-5-1 in what is viewed as more of a developmental season. These respective clubs met two seasons ago in the conference finals, with the Habs winning in six games, but the switch is now flipped with Vegas owning what should be a sizable advantage in this matchup.
