Reimer has won back-to-back starts, including a solid 28-save effort in a 3-2 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday. He allowed 4 goals on 31 shots in the Oct. 25 meeting at home against the Golden Knights.

The rookie Thompson has done a great job so far, allowing 3 or fewer goals in 8 of his 10 starts. The wheels have come off a little lately, allowing 11 goals on 112 shots in the last 3 games, but he has still won all of the outings.

Sharks at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Sharks 2

Moneyline

The Golden Knights (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward. Even in a multi-team parlay there is just not a lot of value playing Vegas here.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (-108) are a much better value at this price.

The Golden Knights have won by 2 or more goals in 7 of their last 11 wins, including the 4-2 road win in San Jose on Oct. 25 behind Adin Hill against Reimer.

Vegas has won 14 of the last 17 games while going 5-2 in the last 7 at home and cashing in 8 of the last 11 against Western Conference foes.

The Sharks +1.5 (-112) have won just 1 of the last 6 meetings in Las Vegas, while going 8-21 in the past 29 meetings with the Golden Knights.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5(-117) is a great play, as Reimer has been serviceable enough, and Thompson has been locking it down.

The Under is 10-4-2 in the last 16 meetings between these Pacific Division rivals, while cashing in 7 of the last 10 meetings in Vegas. The Under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 at home for the Golden Knights, too.
