The Vegas Golden Knights will be a road favorite tonight when they visit the Saint Louis Blues, and so they should be. The Golden Knights have won their last two games, both on the road, against two of the league’s best. Thursday they took down the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena, which is not easily done, and last night they blanked the Carolina Hurricanes, 4-0, in Raleigh. Vegas is now an impressive 18-7-5 on the road, have won 5 of their last 6, and are 5-2 in their last 7 in St. Louis. As for the Blues, they have also won their last two but those wins came against the Columbus Blue Jackets and the San Jose Sharks; nothing to pump your chest over. The Blue have lost 4 of their last 5 at Enterprise Center, are 11-5 in their last 16 overall against Vegas, and even if backup goalie Jiri Patera is between the pipes for the Golden Knights, the Blues will still have their hands full.
