• Markus Nutivaara and Nikolai Knyzhov will not play for the Sharks

• Vegas has won 3 of the last 5 against San Jose

The Vegas Golden Knights are having a tremendous start of the season winning 13 of 16 games so far and will have a chance to bounce back against the Sharks after losing to the Blues in overtime in the last game. They won 9 straight before falling to the Blues and it is hard to believe that they will lose back-to-back games, especially at home. The Sharks are in good form, winning the last two on the road, and it is about time to fall in their performance. The Knights are a huge favorite in this game and will probably smash the Sharks. Anyway, just in case, I suggest placing a bet that Vegas will not lose in regulation in a game that will go over 4.5 goals for decent odds at 1.63.
