Lightning vs Golden Knights predictions

The Vegas Golden Knights are relatively healthy again with only Mark Stone and Tomas Hertl on the injury list. They were getting dangerously close to losing out on a playoff spot but have gone 3-1-0 since the trade deadline.

Golden Knights center Jack Eichel scored the go-ahead goal in Sunday’s 3-1 win.

"It was a big win for us. We needed it," Eichel said. "Hopefully we can use this as momentum here as we've got a few games at home this week as we try and win some more points."

The Tampa Bay Lightning are in the midst of a five-game road trip and headed west after Saturday’s win in Florida. They face off against the Golden Knights tonight before heading to California to close out the week.

Going on the road has not been too kind to the Lightning this season. They’re an impressive 21-9-4 at home but just 15-16-2 on the road. The Golden Knights have similar splits with a 21-10-2 record at home and 15-14-5 on the road.

The Golden Knights have been playing well recently with the ninth-best expected goals share at 5-on-5 in the last 10 games, per Natural Stat Trick. Meanwhile, the Lightning have the ninth-worst mark in that span.

This should be a good battle between two of the most recent Stanley Cup champions. However, the Golden Knights are still building their dynasty while the Lightning are on the downturn of theirs.

My best bet: Golden Knights moneyline (-135 at DraftKings)
