Boston Bruins vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction & Picks

Game Prediction

Rather than back Vegas Golden Knights on the moneyline, our pick is to back them off a -1.5 goal handicap. We’re taking the +106 on the puck line to get bigger odds.

We’re keen to follow the latest form and understand any patterns that emerge. The same applies to injuries that could affect key players. Combined with the most important player and goalie stats, there is plenty of information to make a verdict.

Key Bruins vs Golden Knights stats:

• The -1.5 line has been covered by Golden Knights in 4 of their last 5 games at home.
• The -1.5 line has been covered by Golden Knights in 13 of their last 20 games at home.

Knights -1.5 Probability

The sportsbooks imply that our pick has a 48.5% prospect of winning. However, we think that the probability sits between 55-60% taking all factors into consideration. It is therefore regarded as a value wager.

If you want to land a big potential return from a small stake, then a Bet Builder could be a good way to go. Back Vegas against the Puck Line in a combination with other selections.
