Chicago Blackhawks vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction: Will Goals Flow In Chicago?
After last night's shootout loss, the Golden Knights are gasping for their last playoff breath. The loss put Las Vegas four points behind Dallas, with each team having two remaining games. Vegas needs two regulation wins and two regulation losses by Dallas to have any chance at the last playoff spot. It's been a disappointing, injury-riddled, season for the Knights. Expectations were high after acquiring Jack Eichel but the team has not been able to gel.

This is the third meeting of the season, Chicago picked up a 2-1 road win, in January. Vegas responded with a 5-4 overtime home win, in late March. I lean Vegas in regulation tonight, but I just don't trust them to get the job done. I'll pivot to the over as I do see them pressing, which could lead to some chances for the Hawks. There is also the possibility of the Knights pulling their goal early if they are trailing, or even if they are tied, as they need this regulation win.
