Handicapper Dana Lane predicted the Golden Knights would win the Stanley Cup after they eliminated the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference semifinals.
After Vegas’ 6-4 victory over the Washington Capitals in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday at T-Mobile Arena, Lane has absolutely no doubt that the Knights will hoist hockey’s holy grail.
“Vegas is going to win the Stanley Cup. That’s a fact,” Lane said. “And it’s unbelievable to say that.”
But Lane, who picked the Knights to win Game 1 to run his record to 86-59-4 (59.3 percent) against the spread on his NHL picks this season in the Review-Journal, doesn’t expect Vegas to sweep Washington.
