EDMONTON, Canada – The Vegas Golden Knights will look to gain a three-game lead in their first series of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Vegas was able to score a vital victory in a 4-1 thrashing on Tuesday, and edge out the Blackhawks in overtime to win 4-3 in Game 2.
Vegas now move one step closer to the Stanley Cup that they were so close to in their inaugural season just a few years ago.
The Blackhawks come in as the No. 8 seed who qualified for the playoffs based on their impressive showing in the play-in tournament.
Unfortunately, they could be outclassed in this round if Vegas can continue their offensive onslaught from the first two games.
Online sportsbooks are now featuring odds for Game 3, with the Golden Knights getting the edge.

The Blackhawks fought well in Game 2 and even kept it interesting for two periods. It was in the final segment that Vegas imposed their will on Chicago and showed their high-octane offense is not to be taken lightly.
If Chicago is looking to get back into this series, they will need to make major changes in their defensive strategy to attempt to slow down the Vegas attack.
Even with major changes, hockey bettors looking to make the safe bet will be throwing their money on Vegas to confirm the series at 3-0.
