Golden Knights at Jets projected goalies
Adin Hill (3-0-0, 1.31 GAA, .951 SV%) vs. Laurent Brossoit (7-0-3, 2.17 GAA, .927 SV% in 2022-23)
Hill has had a hot hand so far. He stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday’s 3-2 shootout win over the Stars. He’s a 7-year veteran who came on string after the 1st of the year last season. He faced Winnipeg 3 times, clocking a .907 SV%.
Brossoit has appeared in 35 games over the last 2 seasons, both with the club he’ll face on Thursday. The now 30-year-old had also spent time with the Edmonton Oilers and Jets (2018-21) before going to Vegas in 2021.

Golden Knights at Jets picks and predictions
Prediction
Golden Knights 4, Jets 3
Moneyline
The Winnipeg defense has just been too loose. And its offensive struggles from Tuesday may well carry over. The Jets had issues last season with scoring slumps often coming in pairs and bunches.
The Knights are better at creating quality scoring chances, and they likely won’t let the Jets through the door on a powerplay. The Vegas PK has thus far gone 11-for-11.
BACK THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-115).
Puck line/Against the spread
We should want a bit more return for Vegas here. A +210 would make for some interest. PASS otherwise.
Over/Under
There is enough goaltending gray area here to make the best course of action a STEER CLEAR.
