Vegas at Washington

Vegas has a few new pieces on the second and third lines they are working in, but this team looks as strong all around as last season. The Golden Knights are 36-17 when playing on one day of rest. They match up well with defending champion Washington, a team that is struggling on defense after allowing seven goals the last game in a loss at Pittsburgh. Washington ranks #22 in the NHL in goals allowed on the young season, #16 in penalty killing. Forward Dmitrij Jaskin was claimed on waivers from the St. Louis Blues just before the season began and will make his Washington debut. Vegas is 24-14 after a defeat while Washington is 43-48 at home working on three or more days rest. Back Vegas.
