I'm not sold on the Golden Knights' defense right now. Las Vegas has given up at least three goals in four of its last five games. The Golden Knights have had problems with Colorado this season giving up 13 goals in two games. 
The Avalanche have produced three or more goals in eight of their last 11 games.
But I also envision the Golden Knights getting their share of goals. It's a plus if their leading scorer, Max Pacioretty, is ready to return to the lineup. He has yet to play since the season resumed. 

Las Vegas notched five goals versus Dallas and six against St. Louis in its two games following the layoff.
