Vegas Golden Knights vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Can the Golden Knights Put Up Goals?
The second game we are going to dive into takes us to South Florida as the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights look to rebound in a clash with the Tampa Bay Lightning in a showdown at Amalie Arena. Both of these squads are star studded and among the most recent teams in the league to hoist the Stanley Cup. I expect a big time performance from some big time squads here.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
I love this spot for Tampa Bay and I might fire on the money line here, but the total is the top play in my opinion. Tampa Bay is no longer the total juggernaut they were after a few seasons of roster changes but the core, elite group that makes this team lethal is still there.
The Bolts have shown everyone you do not need to go pedal to the metal all regular season, you just gotta get there, keep doing the right things and beat the right people. The Bolts are hot off of a nearly flawless 6-1 victory over St. Louis and with Vegas coming to town tonight, I expect another very motivated effort.
Vegas is an excellent squad but has been poor lately on the defensive side of things. They have scored 21 goals in their last five games but have conceded 22. Every game has been flying over as they struggle on the back end and I do not see any of that changing tonight. This has hit in four of the last five head to head.
