Preview: Leafs Verses Golden Knights

A preview of today's Toronto/Vegas game. This is a bit of an opinion piece

Today 3:30 p.m. EST.

The Vegas Golden Knights are the big surprised of the 2017-18 season, despite being a expansion team.

The Knights are even first in their division with a 25-9-2 record.  Vegas is also dangerous on home ice, posting a 15-2-1 record.

Vegas has also been terrific in their last 10 games, posting a 9-0-1 record.

The Toronto Maple Leafs, however, has struggled a bit lately.

Toronto's has posted a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 games.

I won't be surprise at all if Vegas wins this afternoon.

TOR: Mitch Marner - 29 points.
