Vegas is coming into the game here after having a couple of days off and well relaxed.

Then the Golden Knights managed to completely dominate in the next game of the series to lock down the commanding win.
The offensive leader for Vegas during the regular season was Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty ended up with 66 points total of which 32 of them were goals. Mark Stone ended up leading the Golden Knights in the assist department with 42 on the year.

Vancouver is heading to the game here looking to bring a lot of the energy they had to take down the Blues in their last game. Now, the Canucks have to hope that they did not expend to much energy in the series or they could end up having a lot of issues in the game and potentially have issues in getting the win locked down.
One major downside for Vancouver is the fact that the team is led offensively by a single player. The player that is leading Vancouver during the regular season was J.T. Miller. Miller ended up with 72 points on the year and out of those 27 were goals and the other 45 points were coming in the form of assist.

Free Betting Pick: Vegas Golden Knights -180
The Canucks are coming in after eliminating the Saint Louis Blues in 6 games. However, now the Canucks will face a Golden Knights team that is coming into the game at a completely different level and one that will be hard to be stopped by any defense, let alone a Canucks defense that was questionable at best during the first round of the playoffs. Final Score, Vegas Golden Knights win 4-2.
