They have risen to the top this year and rightfully so. They have put last year's bad year behind them and are on their way to not only winning the Pacific Division, but also the top of the Dual Region. And they are so high because they are a team that does not go on long losing streaks. In the last game, they prevailed on penalties, against the powerful Boston Bruins away from home with 3-4 (3-3 d.d.). As I said, they don't go on long negative streaks and the two(2) losing streaks at home have hit a bit. A team that doesn't open their scores much as they have just 4/27 over7.5 this year. The permanent absentees Lehner R. (T.), Weber S. (A.), Patrick M. (E.) and Howden B. (E.21com/1g/2as) are absent, but the Eichel J. (E.26cm/13g/16as) and Pietrangelo A. (A.23cm/3g/18as) .

This year their path so far is different from last year. And what I mean. Last year they relied a lot on their good blocking function and were quite high in the standings. This year they are more productive, but lower in points. In fact, they don't have a flow in the matches as they lose one 2-5 against the bad Chicago Blackhawks and the next day they beat the mediocre St. Louis Blues 6-4. If they continue like this, their place in the playoffs might be in jeopardy. They may be scoring goals in their games but only 7/27 have come Over7.5. The absence list is almost blank as only Chytil F will be missing.(E.19συμ / 4γκ / 7ασ).
I take it for granted that doing 3η losing streak at home to the very consistent "Golden Knights" is difficult. They will struggle, with the score going low and maybe extra time will be needed, with their victory coming even marginally. 1&Under7.5+extratime.
