Golden Knights Finally on the Right Track

The Golden Knights had lost four games in a row heading into the last game against the New Jersey Devils. In that game, the Golden Knights faced off against the New Jersey Devils, and they were able to secure a 3-1 victory. Jack Eichel had a strong game, finishing with a goal to help pace the offense. One of the most impressive parts of the game was the defense only allowed Adin Hill to face 15 shots on goal, and he saved 14 of them. If the defense keeps stepping up like that, they should be on the right track. 

The Golden Knights are averaging 3.27 goals per game while their defense is giving up 2.73 goals per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the league while the defense is ranked 8th. They are averaging 30.73 shots per game which is 4th. This is a disciplined team that is averaging only 5.35 penalty minutes per game which is top in the NHL. Jack Eichel has scored 19 goals and added 48 assists so far this season. In this game, it’s going to need to be the goaltending that steps up again. 

Why Vegas Will Beat Boston

• The Golden Knights have covered the puck line in each of their last four games at TD Garden.
• The Golden Knights have won the second period in four of their last five road games against Atlantic Division opponents when tied after the first period.

Boston Bruins Looks to Bounce Back

The Boston Bruins had won two games in a row heading into the last game, but they couldn’t score enough against the New York Rangers and that led to the defeat. The Bruins scored two goals, but the defense gave up three goals. The Bruins scored two goals in the second period, but the defense gave up two goals in the third, which led to the defeat. Joonas Korpisalo saved 19 of the 22 shots that he faced. Elias Lindholm scored a goal, but they just couldn’t generate enough offense late. 

The Bruins are averaging 2.75 goals while their defense is giving up 3.16 goals per game. The offense is ranked 25th in the league, while the defense is ranked 23rd. They are averaging 27.21 shots per game which is 24th in the league. One issue for this team is their shot difference is -1.34, which is 21st in the league. David Pastrnak has been the top player for the Bruins scoring 28 goals and adding 39 assists so far this season. 

Total Goal Facts

• Eight of the Golden Knights’ last 10 road games against Atlantic Division opponents have gone OVER the total goal line.
• Four of the Bruins’ last five day games at TD Garden have gone OVER the total goals line.
• The ‘Over 1.5 Goals Period 3′ market has hit in each of the Golden Knights’ last 13 road games against Atlantic Division opponents.
• The ‘Over 1.5 Goals Period 1’ market has hit in each of the last five games between the Golden Knights and Bruins at TD Garden.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Boston Bruins Prediction

Give me the Golden Knights here. Vegas had some impressive defense in the last game and they only faced 15 shots on goal. The Bruins offense overall this season hasn’t been really peppering a ton of shots on goal, and that is going to be the difference here as Vegas will find success. Vegas is averaging 3.27 goals per game but I am not sure they are going even to need to reach that number to come out ahead. Back Vegas on the money line to end up cashing here.
