LAS VEGAS – The Vegas Golden Knights (39-13-2) will host the Colorado Avalanche (36-13-4) on Monday night in a game that could decide the West Division.

Projected Goalie Matchup
- VGS Marc-Andre Fleury (25-10-0, .927 SV%, 2.04 GAA)
- COL Philipp Grubauer (28-9-1, .919 SV%, 2.03 GAA)
At the moment, this goalie matchup is unconfirmed, it’s possible that Robin Lehner and Jonas Johansson are in net as well, but since this game means a lot in the division standings, one would assume the teams would send out their top goalies.
These are two of the top goalies in the league and both are in the top three in terms of Vezina Trophy betting odds. If both of these men are the ones between the pipes at puck drop, NHL bettors may find the Under 5.5 at +105 odds as in interesting play.
