The Vegas Golden Knights once again appear to be one of the standout teams in the Western Conference this season. They currently sit second in the Pacific Division, having won 16 of their 31 games.
Meanwhile, only the Avalanche has suffered fewer defeats in regulation so far this term. However, it could be worth noting that four of the six regulation defeats that Vegas have suffered have come at the T-Mobile Arena.
They come into this clash following a dramatic late 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets last weekend.

There is likely to be increased pressure on the New Jersey Devils this week, as the team have dropped to sixth in the Metropolitan Division after losing seven of their last ten in regulation.
Despite that, the Devils still have a winning overall record this term. However, only the Blue Jackets have conceded more goals in the division.
Their road record is relatively interesting, having picked up eight wins, while also suffering eight losses in regulation time. Last time out, they were beaten 2-1 by the Vancouver Canucks.
| TOTAL | Devils | Golden Knights | DRAWS | |

It is incredibly hard to overlook the prospect of a Vegas win when making Devils vs. Golden Knights picks. Vegas bring the better recent form into this clash, and they have won 71% of their previous home games against the Devils.
