Game Preview

It has been a bright period in the NHL for the Vegas Golden Knights, as they have strengthened their hold on a place toward the top of the Pacific Division. Vegas have won six of their last ten games, and have suffered just two regulation time losses over the same period.

Meanwhile, confidence levels should be high ahead of this clash after winning each of their last four. No side in the Western Conference is currently on a longer winning streak. The Golden Knights were last in action earlier this week, as they struck late to secure an overtime success against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

The NY Islanders will have the home advantage this week, as they chase a return to form following a recent defeat in the NHL. They have gone 16-11-3 in the NHL this season, and they currently sit third in the Metropolitan Division. The Islanders have also gone 5-4-1 over their last ten.

The team’s home form may be a slight concern ahead of this clash, as they have gone 7-6-2 at UBS Arena. Their latest outing ended in a road defeat against the Florida Panthers, eventually suffering a 4-1 loss after conceding twice in the final period.

Golden Knights vs. Islanders Picks

Cases could be made for both teams ahead of this showdown on Dec 9. However, the in-form Golden Knights look to be in peak form at this stage of the season, and they look like good value to maintain their winning streak.
