Golden Knights are 4-0 in their last 4 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Vegas didn't play well offensively in their past two games. They return home after a short road trip and I like their chances to get the win over the Avalanche. Reilly Smith. The Knights' winger scored seven goals in his first 11 games this season, spreading them out over six games. Despite playing on that dominant line with William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault, it took Smith until Dec. 16 last season to score his seventh.
The home team has won the past 7 games in this series and I'll back the Vegas Golden Knights Friday evening.
