So a lot of things going on here. Vegas is trying to keep their 8th seed in the West and they have St Louis nipping at thier heels, and both St Louis and Vegas are playing here Friday and the Blues play the Hurricanes in St Louis, and the Canes actually really need that game as well because they are tied with Boston for the 2nd seed in the East, which is why the Canes are a -200 favorite over the Blues - But regardless of whether or not the Blues win or lose, VGK needs this win either to keep the Blues at bay, or to put the last nail in their proverbial coffin. That Blues game is at 8est and the puck drops here in Vegas at 10pm est, but again, either way, whether the Blues win or lose, VGK will be scoreborad watching so to speak, and either way they want to win this game going away we believe, like VGK by 2 or more here.
