The Golden Knights have not been able to get their offense going at all on the season and it is showing up as the team has dropped a lot of games. To make matters worse the defense is not playing at the same level either and Fleury is showing signs of why Pittsburgh let him go. Look for the Lightning defense to shut down the Golden Knights offense, but also be able to score several goals to bring home a win. Final Score, Tampa Bay Lightning win 4-2.
