The 5-0 Kraken, benefiting from an easy schedule down the stretch, haven't faced a top team in more than a week, since they lost to the Kings. They are in a back to back situation against a tough Knights team and have now confirmed at least a wild card spot. Their goal-tending, a weak spot all season, is in flux tonight.

Vegas should take this game seriously. They are in first place in their division, but some mixed play has the Oilers nipping at their heels. They are better-rested and have a fine past record against the Kraken. Broissoit has looked sharp in net lately, so the goalie advantage goes to Vegas. Call this a pre-playoff game for both teams, with the better-rested Golden Knights coming out on top.
