In this Capitals vs Golden Knights Prediction, the Golden Knights are coming as -160 home favorites. I cannot get behind the Golden Knights in this spot, as they have been terrible lately, having won only once in their last six games, having scored just 8 total goals in that span. The Caps have been mediocre lately and I don’t trust them to win on the road, but their offense has been struggling as well, as they have scored two goals or less in six of their last eight games. Take the under 6 goals in this one.
