Vegas Golden Knights vs. Detroit Red Wings preview

The Vegas Golden Knights are looking to build on their impressive 5-1 victory over the Bruins as they welcome a desperate Detroit Red Wings squad to T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night.

Detroit's playoff hopes hang by a thread, sitting just four points out of the final wildcard spot, but they'll take confidence from their 3-0 shutout win against these same Golden Knights last weekend.

Lucas Raymond has been Detroit's spark plug lately, racking up six points in his last six games, while veteran Patrick Kane continues his resurgence with 11 points in March alone.

For Vegas, Jack Eichel remains the offensive catalyst, picking up points in nearly every game this month, though Mark Stone's recent quiet stretch of just two points in five games is a concern.

The Knights' goaltending tandem of Adin Hill and Ilya Samsonov has been solid, but Hill's superior numbers (2.50 GAA, .907 save percentage) might earn him the start after Samsonov took the loss in Detroit last week.

The Red Wings' recent defensive improvement - allowing just 11 goals in their last four games - could make this a tighter contest than the standings might suggest.

With Vegas averaging four-plus goals in four of their last five home games and Detroit putting up 20 goals in their last five road matches, this one has all the makings of a high-scoring affair at T-Mobile Arena.

Keep an eye on Noah Hanifin, who's stepped up big time for Vegas with Shea Theodore sidelined, logging heavy minutes and contributing eight points this month.
