St. Louis Blues – Vegas Golden Knights
St. Louis is performing weakly, the team still cannot manage to grow. Vegas slowed down, which is why the team began to lose places in the league. Cassidy’s boys will win in this pair; the “golden scum” should take advantage of the lack of composure of the “bluesmen”, which will allow them to return to the winning rhythm.
