This is an 8* play on VEGAS

It's been a short existence for the Golden Knights franchise (started just last year), but in just a short amount of time they have established one of the stronger home ice advantages in the league. Whether it's the "Vegas flu" or something else, the bottom line is that road teams struggle to win in Sin City. The Knights are 16-5-3 at T-Mobile Arena this season and now 45-15-5 here all-time in the regular season. That's pretty amazing. Off a rare home loss on Monday (to Minnesota), I look for Vegas to bounce back this evening against Nashville. The Predators are a good team in their own right, but this is just their second all-time visit here. They lost the first, played almost a year ago to the date, 3-0. The Knights are 0-3 in Nashville, so they'll be looking for a little retribution tonight. Vegas is 9-3 off a loss by two or more goals this season. Play on VEGAS
