Vegas and goalie Adin Hill have picked up where they left off after winning the Stanley Cup as Hill is 3-0-0 with a 1.30 GAA and .951 save percentage and the Golden Knights can become the first defending champion to win its first six games the following season with a victory over the Blackhawks. Vegas has cruised through the first five games with all but one decided by at least two goals, including 5-3 over Winnipeg on Thursday with backup Logan Thompson in net. It was another example of the Golden Knights' depth at all positions as Thompson made 35 saves against the Jets although Hill is expected in net tonight. Chicago is 2-3 and was shut out 4-0 by Colorado two nights ago and the Avalanche had a 41-18 edge in shots on goal. The Blackhawks are 7-47 their past 54 games versus teams with above .600 winning percentages and they have lost 44 of 64 home games. Take the Golden Knights as a Max Play.
