Team News
History could be made in the NHL on Tuesday, as one of the newest franchises in the competition could claim a maiden Stanley Cup honor. Vegas Golden Knights have been one of the standout teams throughout the season, and they are fully deserving to be in the healthy position that they find themselves in against the Panthers.
The Golden Knights secured their excellent advantage in the Stanley Cup finals over the weekend, as they landed a 3-2 win on the road over the Panthers. That was a perfect response after dropping to a first defeat in the series in game three between the two leading sides from the Eastern and Western conferences.

Vegas was in complete control from the early stages over the weekend, as they netted once in the opening period, before scoring two further goals in the second period. Chandler Stephenson was the standout player for the Golden Knights on Saturday, as he scored twice. Meanwhile, William Karlsson netted the other goal in the victory at FLA Live Arena.
There is a huge challenge ahead of the Panthers now, as they must claim victories in each of the three remaining matches if they are to claim Stanley Cup glory this season. Aleksander Barkov and Brandon Montour scored the goals in the defeat over the weekend, and a huge effort will be required on Tuesday evening.
Picks
The writing appears to be on the wall for the Panthers coming into game five of the series this week. Vegas has been excellent in home games throughout this series, and we expect them to secure a first Stanley Cup honor at the first opportunity in game five.
