Game Preview
The Vegas Golden Knights have once again been one of the standout teams in the opening month of the regular season in the Western Conference. They currently sit top of the Pacific Division after winning six of their opening ten games, while they have suffered just a single loss in regulation time.
Vegas ended a two-game losing sequence in their latest outing, as they battled to a 6-3 victory on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes. They netted twice in the opening period, before pulling clear of their opponents across the second and third frames. Jack Eichel and Mitchell Marner both scored two goals apiece in the win.
Meanwhile, the Avalanche will also take positives from their start to the new season. They currently sit second in the Central Division, and they have gone 5-1-4 across their last ten games. In fact, no team in the division have scored more goals than the Avalanche so far this term.
Confidence levels within the camp should be high after an excellent 8-4 win over the New Jersey Devils in their latest outing. Colorado scored four times in the second period, before adding two further efforts in the final frame.
Avalanche vs. Golden Knights Picks
A competitive clash between two of the standout teams in the Western Conference is set for this weekend. However, home advantage could be crucially important to consider when making Avalanche vs. Golden Knights picks. Therefore, the home win is our selection.
