Together they are a combined 27-5 with a +52 Goal differential. To say that Vegas and Boston are running the table right now would not be far off. They are both at times dominant and yet with had serious question marks coming into this season. In fact, many, including possible yours truly, pick them each to miss the playoffs...
And yet here we are....It is safe to say that they are playoff teams. I went back a ways to the first twenty games of the last several seasons and EVERY team with 30 points in their first 20 games has made the playoffs... So yes, they are in.

The key to each team is different, but similar. The Bruins have a great young group that is supporting what felt like a farewell tour for some off the stars....
The Knights sacrificed last season in order to get Jack, and despite losing their starter in Lehner to injury, have discoverer a diamond in the rough in Logan Thompson.
I said about each team this season would either be a complete disaster or they could be as good as anyone....there didn't feel like there was any place in between...
These are two teams whop probably wished the playoffs started now....but of course...they don't...Can they keep up this pace? Will their question marks eventually bubble up to the surface? There is much to consider here...
So you all tell me....
Who is better:
Vegas or Boston?
