Capitals vs. Golden Knights Betting Prediction

Take Vegas. The Golden Knights have won seven out of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. They did lose to the Capitals last month, but that game was in Washington. The Golden Knights have been okay on the road (3-3-2), but they’ve been incredible at home this season (8-1). Plus, while the Capitals are having an excellent start to their season, they’ve also been more inconsistent of late, dropping three out of their last six games overall.
