Vegas Golden Knights vs St Louis Blues Betting Preview
Golden Knights Fighting for Playoff Lives
The Golden Knights have been among the most disappointing NHL teams this season, but that’s in large part due to injuries. Hill has been out for a considerable amount of time this year and the Golden Knights have also been without Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. They loaded up at the trade deadline, however, and could be a major threat to any team in the playoffs if they get in. The problem is they’re still battling to make the NHL playoffs.
Vegas is T14th in goals (3.17), 12th in shots (31.4), and 21st in power-play percentage (19.0). They’re 11th in goals (2.94), 22nd in shots allowed (30.5), and 13th in penalty kill (80.5). They’re 15-14-5 on the road this season. Jonathan Marchessault leads the team in NHL player stats with 60 points (38 goals, 22 assists).
Blues Need Win in Pivotal Game with Playoff Implications
St. Louis has played one more game than the Golden Knights, so this is a must-win if they want to improve their odds of making the playoffs. The Blues’ hockey highlights have been good as of late as they’re 6-4-0 in their last 10 games in large part due to the play of Binnington, who has had a save percentage of .900 or higher in six of his last eight starts.
The Blues are T25th in goals (2.86) and T15th in goals allowed (3.01). They’re 21-12-1 at Enterprise Center this season, including 5-1-0 in their last six NHL games. Robert Thomas leads the team in NHL player stats with 73 points (23 goals, 50 assists).
