The Vegas Golden Knights (29-14-3) will look to snap their three-game losing streak when they welcome the St. Louis Blues (22-21-4) to T-Mobile Arena on Monday night.
Despite leading the Pacific Division, the Golden Knights' recent struggles have opened the door for their rivals, while the Blues arrive having won just five of their last ten games.
Vegas's high-powered offense, averaging 3.37 goals per game and led by the dynamic duo of Jack Eichel and Mark Stone who have combined for 95 points this season, will test a resilient Blues defense that has allowed just 2.96 goals per game.
The Blues' offensive challenges this season, scoring only 2.81 goals per game and managing just nine goals in their last four outings, could prove decisive against a Golden Knights team that has been solid defensively, conceding only 2.74 goals per game.
Both teams feature strong defensive units, with Vegas's Alex Pietrangelo and Brayden McNabb matching up against St. Louis's Colton Parayko and Ryan Suter in what promises to be a fascinating tactical battle.
As these Western Conference rivals prepare to face off, the question remains whether the Golden Knights can rediscover their winning form or if the Blues can capitalize on the hosts' recent vulnerability.
