Pick

I’m backing the Golden Knights here. I just need to see it before I can believe it from the Stars, as Vegas has simply found a way in the first two games of this series and the Golden Knights have actually been a far better team on the road this season, so if they can win twice at home, I think they’re more than capable of getting a win here. Give me Vegas.
