The Golden Knights are again making Las Vegas sportsbooks sweat a bit down the stretch of their second NHL season.
The Westgate, which offered defending Western Conference champion Vegas at 500-1 odds to win the Stanley Cup in its inaugural season, has a six-figure liability on the Knights’ 2018-19 regular season point total. The number opened at 95½ and closed at 101½.
Vegas entered Monday’s game against the St. Louis Blues with 90 points (42-27-6) with seven regular-season games remaining.
“It really depends where the number falls,” Westgate sportsbook manager Jeff Sherman said. “If it’s 100 or higher, that’s our worst results.
