Vancouver Downs Vegas
The Golden Knights are going to get in the postseason, but certainly going to be one of the underdogs in the West. This team has not found the groove that the team a season ago did.

When we make our final bet, we are going with the Vancouver Canucks -120 over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. Enjoy the game!
