Sharks vs. Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. I get the case to be made for the Sharks in some spots, but this isn’t one of them. Vegas is the better team by a mile here and even on a back-to-back, I think they can get it done in this one to keep their momentum going at home. Give me the Golden Knights -1.5.
