The Vegas Golden Knights are having trouble finding the back of the net and have now lost two straight after falling to Buffalo last night, 3-1. Vegas has recorded just two tallies against two of the worst teams in hockey, Philadelphia and Buffalo, and it won’t get any easier tonight when they travel to PPG Paints Arena to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh has also lost a couple but they were against elite teams, Florida and Carolina, and both were close, losing to the Panthers, 4-3, and Carolina in OT, 3-2. The Penguins won the first meeting this season, 5-3, in Vegas and are 15-9-5 at home. They will also will be facing a Vegas team that is playing back-to-back games so fatigue could be an issue for the Golden Knights while Pittsburgh is well rested and are 7-1 in their last 8 on two days rest.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
