The destruction of Vancouver was complete in the opening game of the series. Now, the Golden Knights just have to keep the pressure up in the game and that will definitely be possible in the game here. Look for the Canucks to struggle in getting the shots off again as the Golden Knights have a smothering defense that is able to shut down the Canucks rather easily, but with the offensive shut down of Vancouver their defense will be pressured quite a bit and easily beaten in the game. Final Score, Vegas Golden Knights win 4-1.
