Vegas has been inconsistent with just 2 wins in their last 5 games, including a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Buffalo. The Golden Knights' road struggles continue with a 16-21 away record and just 2.84 goals per game on the road. However, they showed offensive life in recent wins over Pittsburgh (6-2) and Chicago (4-0). With 4 days rest, fatigue isn't a concern, but their defensive lapses remain problematic, allowing 3.05 goals per game. The team's 45.3% win rate reflects their mediocre season, and their playoff hopes are fading fast with each loss.
