Tonight, the Utah Hockey Club will take on the Vegas Golden Knights at the T-Mobile Arena. This will be the 1st matchup of the season between these 2 teams. Utah has been trying to make a name for themselves while the Knights look to continue to play well.

UHC are 5-4-2 to start the season and 4th in the Central Division. This team is definitely surprising most people and have a great buzz behind them in their new city. On the road, they are 2-2-1 but will have their work cut out for them in Vegas.

Guys are stepping up from all around on this team. Captain Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz lead the team in points with 11 each. Keller and Dylan Guenther both lead the team in goals with 6 each. Schmaltz is a machine with the apples, as all his points are assists.

Goalie Connor Ingram has started 9 games so far and it looking to be the main goalie for the team. He is 5-2-2 to start with a 3.54 GAA and a .880 save percentage. He is expected to get the nod tonight.

Vegas will look to continue their home hot streak

Vegas Gold Knights center Jack Eichel reacts after burying a goal.

The Knights are off to a hot start and are 1st in the Pacific Division. They are currently undefeated at home with a 7-0-0 record which they'll look to keep alive tonight.

Theie 7-3-3 record is one of the best in league but shows this team cannot play on the road. This is something they must change going forward or it's going to be a long season for them.

Captain Mark Stone is leading the team with 19 points. Of those 19, 14 are assists, which is tied for 2nd best in the league. His 19 points is also 2nd best in the league. Jack Eichel has been showing out himself with 3 goals and 13 assists.

By the top 2 players, you can tell they move the puck around. They have 10+ players on the team with 3 or more goals which is really impressive when you think about it. In goal tonight, we're expected to see Adin Hill. He's 4-2-0 this season with a 3.20 GAA and a .878 save percentage.

Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

We're rooting for goals tonight. Both goalies are respectable, but they have high GAA's and both these teams have buzzing offenses. I like for both teams to score 3+ goals which will cash this over for us.

The Knights are absolutely insane on offense. They rank 2nd in the league for goals scored per game with 4.55. Utah averages 3 goals per game themselves. Vegas also has a great power play percentage, ranking 4th in league.

Both teams are allowing over 3 goals per game, which lines up for their goalies GAA's. It hasn't been listed yet, but I like Ingram for over his saves. The number should be around 26-28 saves and the Knights are averaging 29 per game. I expect them to have over 30 shots on goal.

I like Jack Eichel to record 4+ shots on goal for -118. He is coming off a game where he missed and hit the 2 prior, but I think we see a lot of shots tonight. Mark Stone is day-to-day, so if he is out, I love this prop even more.
