Vegas defeated Anaheim 5-3 on Thursday as Mark Stone scored the go-ahead goal 49 seconds into the third period and gave the Golden Knights the spark they needed to eventually get a 5-2 victory over the anemic Ducks. Robin Lehner had a shaky start before finishing with 20 saves for the Knights, and he'll be in goal again tonight as he has taken over the starting job from Marc-Andre Fleury. The Ducks have had trouble scoring the last couple seasons and that doesn't figure to change much this year. Also, Anaheim is 9-25 its last 34 games playing with one day of rest and 20-41 its last 61 road games. Vegas has won eight of the last nine meetings, including the last five at home. Vegas is 24-10 its last 34 games overall. Play the Golden Knights as my first Max Play of the season.
