Boston Bruins vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

You can make a case for the Bruins and the big plus money given the week Vegas has had with losses in four of its last five games. Then you’re reminded that the Bruins haven’t played any better this season overall and 18 of their 30 losses have come on the road. The Golden Knights are back home where they have 24 wins. The Golden Knights are easily the better team and they beat Boston on the road back in February. This is a spot where Vegas should bounce back. Give me the Golden Knights and the PL for maximum betting value.
