Golden Knights/Senators
After the blockbuster trade for Eichel, the immediate impact on the Golden Knights is minimal, as Tuch was already out, and Krebs, while a good prospect, has been largely a non-starter this year. Vegas is coming off a 4-0 drubbing against the Leafs. The defensively-suspect Senators are back home after a 1-2 road trip. Gustavsson (2.96, .916) is probably their best bet in goal. He faces Lehner, who has not excelled this year with a .906 save %. Vegas has real scoring woes, with a 2.22 goals for avg. and remarkably, still no powerplay goals. Zero! It is no wonder that Vegas isn’t scoring, missing 3 key offensive players.
Defensively, it is the 26th ranked defense (Vegas) vs the 27th rated defense (Ottawa). The Senators can at least score a few goals. I think they are due today. Take the Senators to win this one.
