Penguins vs Golden Knights picks and predictions​

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been struggling as of late, there is no denying that. They had the chance to win the Winter Classic and let it slip away — although they played a pretty solid team game, they failed to convert on scoring chances.

The Penguins’ lack of goal-scoring as of late is a real concern of mine, but it’s going to be hard to keep Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, and Evgeni Malkin off the board for much longer.

The Golden Knights are missing a ton of key pieces to their lineup, like Jack Eichel and Paul Cotter, who are probable, but not a guarantee to play, as well as Jonathan Marchessault, Shea Theodore, and Nolan Patrick.

We should see a ton of desperation out of the Penguins, who need to end this losing streak and should be able to get it done against a Vegas team that is missing a ton of important players.
