Red Wings vs. Golden Knights Team Preview

I’m on the over here. Two teams that could use a win, I think both come out firing here, but both also haven’t been able to stop a beach ball amid their current losing streaks. One will end here, but I think it’s not going to come before we see a ton of goals. Give me the over in this one.
