"They're both good hockey teams," Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said of the Predators and Jets. "We'll see who comes out of there and we'll worry about it then. They're both excellent teams. They both finished with a lot of points and finished on top of the standings. We'll see what happens."
Nashville won Game 6 4-0 at Winnipeg on Wednesday.
Vegas will start a series on the road for the first time after having home-ice advantage for its first two Stanley Cup Playoff series. The Golden Knights wrapped up their series against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday, winning in six games. They swept the Los Angeles Kings in the first round.
"[Winnipeg and Nashville are] pretty much the same," Vegas forward William Karlsson said. "They're really fast. They have a lot of guys that can skate. They have defensemen that can score, as well. They're really good teams and they're both going to be tough to play."
The layoff the Golden Knights have this time around won't be as drawn out as when they waited eight days to play the Sharks, but they should benefit from having the extra day of rest and use Game 7 for scouting purposes.
"You just learn how different players play, how plays are made, and learn some of their mistakes and successes," Golden Knights forward Alex Tuch said.
Gallant jokingly said he's hoping for Game 7 to last deep into the night.
"I think it's going to be a (heck) of a game," he said. "I hope it goes to three or four overtimes."
