The Vegas Golden Knights will be desperate for a win here in front of the home town after dropping five straight home at T-Mobile Arena. They looked pretty good in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Toronto before suffering yet another third-period meltdown, and I think they'll stay focused and go the distance here.

The Knights won't give up anything for free as they seek to put an end to three-game losing streak to the Preds in the series and avenge a 2-1 loss to Nashville here in Vegas less than a month ago.

We can note that the Predators just snapped a three-game skid of their own with a 3-1 triumph over Montreal on Thursday so with that monkey of their back I don't think they'll play with as much determination as the home team.

8* play on Vegas Golden Knights.
