Eichel draws power-play assist
Jack Eichel notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Ducks. Eichel’s point streak is now at four games, and he has a power-play helper in each of those contests. The center has a total of two goals and seven assists during the streak as he continues to provide elite offense from the Golden Knights’ top line and first power-play unit. The 28-year-old is up to five goals, 20 assists, nine power-play points (all helpers), 45 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating across 16 appearances this season.
Keller garners assist in win over Hurricanes
Clayton Keller posted an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday’s 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. Keller saw just 12:46 of ice time in the contest, though that may have been a product of the game situation. Utah had to kill off nearly 11 minutes of penalties in the third period, and Keller is not part of the team’s regular penalty-kill rotation. He hasn’t been flashy this season with just two multi-point efforts over 16 contests. Keller has six goals, eight assists, 39 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating.
Golden Knights vs. Utah Hockey Club Betting Prediction
Take Vegas. These two teams just met earlier this month and the Golden Knights posted a 4-3 overtime victory as a -163 moneyline favorites. They outshot Utah by a 35-19 advantage and genuinely dominated the matchup. Vegas has not been as strong on the road (2-3-2) as at home (8-1) this season, but it’s not as if the Golden Knights have been horrible away from their home ice. The bottom line is that this is a good price on a good team.
