Vegas has lost four straight, however, three of those four losses were decided by one goal as VGK was outscored 7-12 over that span You got to look at the underlying numbers on this four-game losing streak for Vegas. The Golden Knights outshot their opponents 124-94 over their losing streak Not to mention, Vegas created 9.65 expected goals at 5-on-5 over that four game span, while only potting 5 goals. The discrepancy shows they’re scoring below expectation, especially for a team with so much offensive talent I mean they lost to the Islanders last game 2-1 and allowed 14 shots. They’ve been relatively unlucky, and have received poor goaltending at unfortunate times. The Devils will have a tough time trying to stop the Golden Knights’ deadly top line and powerplay led by Jack Eichel, especially if Nico Hischier remains out On top of that, Markstrom remains out, which means we likely see a Jake Allen start. This will be Allen’s toughest test considering he’s only faced one Top 15 ranked offense since Markstrom went down: -Jan 18th: 3-1 L vs PHI -Jan 25th: 4-3 OTW vs MTL -Jan 27th: 4-2 L vs PHI -Jan 29th: 5-0 W vs PHI -Feb 2nd: 4-3 L vs BUF For reference, BUF’s offense is rated 13th in the NHL betting market ratings, VGK’s offense is rated 4th. With Hischier, Markstrom OUT, I think this is a great spot for Vegas to get back on their feet and break their four-game losing streak. Would play Vegas ML up to -110.
