Boston Bruins vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview
Bruins Lost Three of the Last Four Games
Boston, while still among the NHL picks today to win the Eastern Conference, has been struggling lately, losing three of their last four games despite outscoring the opposition 18-17. Goaltending has been the Bruins’ calling card this season – they’re still sixth in NHL stats for goals against per game (2.7) – but both Swayman and Linus Ullmark have looked relatively pedestrian in the last month.
David Pastrnak leads the Bruins in NHL player stats with 57 points (25 goals, 32 assists) and has 20 more points than the team’s second-leading scorer Brad Marchand. Charlie McAvoy leads the Bruins defense with 26 points (4 goals, 22 assists).
Golden Knights Begin Five-Game Homestand
Vegas is coming home for a much-needed five-game homestand. The Golden Knights are just 9-9-3 on the road this season and lost six in a row away from T-Mobile Arena, where they’re 14-4-2. Vegas, like the Bruins, has had goaltending problems as of late, but Hill is expected back soon and Thompson won his last start, stopping 28 of 30 shots against the New York Islanders.
Vegas is 16th in goals scored (3.15) and eighth in goals allowed (2.78). Jack Eichel leads the team in NHL player stats with 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists). Mark Stone is second with 39 points (12 goals, 27 assists).
