Vegas is leading the Pacific Division by three points over Edmonton and has won each of its last six.

Edmonton has struggled a bit of late but has its top player Connor McDavid back on the ice following six games sidelined with an injury. Expect a very tight game with Vegas scoring late to pull out the victory. Final Score Prediction, Vegas Golden Knights win 4-3
