My Prediction
Vegas Golden Knights by 2Alright, let's take a gander at this upcoming joust, shall we? We've got the Vegas Golden Knights arranging a visit to the Vancouver Canucks. In the net, the Knights boast goalkeepers Adin Hill and Ilya Samsonov, sporting save percentages of 92.9% and 89.0% this season, respectively. Canucks will counter with Kevin Lankinen and Thatcher Demko, trailing behind with save percentages of 90.1% and 89.1% on the season. Even Bob Uecker could see where this one's going, folks.
Roster-wise, the Knights' sly cards like Jack Eichel and Mark Stone have had good runs with Eichel posting 27 goals and 66 assists this season, and Stone contributing with 19 goals and 48 assists. On the Canucks' bandwagon, we have Quinn Hughes with 16 goals, 61 assists this season, while Pius Suter added 25 goals and 20 assists. Still, it's like comparing sparkling wine to a good old-fashioned brewski.
Looking at past matchups, our joust knights from Vegas have been slight victors more times than the Johnny Come-lately Canucks. Knights have clinched 4 out of the last 5 encounters. The Knights also sport a healthier regular season record, with 49 wins to the Canucks' 38. Recent results? Knights come in strutting with 4 wins out of the last 5 games, while Canucks just about managed 2. It's like betting on Seabiscuit in a horse race against a three-legged pony.
Taking a score from the lamp of Aladdin, I divine the outcome of this tango on ice. Drumroll, please...
