Florida comes into this game after winning three of their last four games, while Vegas has also won three of their last four games. The main difference in this game is going to be the Vegas defense, which is allowing 2.83 goals against per game this season. Florida is allowing 3.43 goals against per game and has allowed 39 power play goals against. I like Vegas in this game.
