The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Golden Knights have looked good in their games this season with their 13-5-2 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the West. They have looked good on home ice too with their 7-3-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Predators have looked good in their games this season with their 10-4-5 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 4-1-3 road record this year. The Predators have been one of the worst teams in the NHL over the last few years and they are finally starting to turn the corner. They have been rolling lately with their 7-1-2 record in their last 10 games and they are coming off a 4-2 win over the Ducks in their last one. They have had a really good defense this season, not giving up many goals all year, but their offense has been having trouble as they haven't been finding the net a lot. The Golden Knights are only 5-3-2 in their last 10 games and they haven't been at their best lately, but they were in the Stanley Cup Final last year and had a really hot start to this season with their new head coach. They have also looked a lot better in their home games this season and they have some momentum on their side, coming off a 5-3 win over the Mammoth in their last one. The Predators have been on a nice hot streak lately, but they are running into a real contender now and have still struggled more in their road games. Look for the Golden Knights to start building some momentum again and defend their home ice here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game.

"That was a tough game in this building and with that team. They're probably as fast as anybody, especially off the rush. Their power play is pretty scary, so they're a really good team. We had our hands full all game." - Andrew Brunette after his team’s win against the Ducks in their game on Wednesday.

“I have a lot of trust in (Olofsson) and the details of his game, the plays he makes. He's been good on the wall. He's been good in a lot of situations checking and defending, and then he's a guy that's a threat when he gets a puck and can make the right play.” - Ryan Craig after his team’s win against the Mammoth in their game on Wednesday.
