Montreal Canadiens vs. Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis
Canadiens Playing Fast
The Canadiens are in a much better position in the NHL standings than expected because they have overwhelmed teams to begin the year. Montreal is scoring 3.13 goals per game this season, but they are actually allowing 3.25 goals on the other end of the ice.
Cole Caufield is having a huge start to the season for the Canadiens as he has four goals and nine total points to lead the team. Montreal is going to have to find a way to get some stops if they want to pick up another win.
Golden Knights Getting Stops
The Golden Knights don’t really have any impressive NHL player stats this season, but they have gotten it done as a team. William Karlsson is leading the team with three goals and seven assists, but they have so many other options.
Vegas is holding opponents to just 2.22 goals per game this season, and that has been a key to their success. The Golden Knights can score with any team, but they are also terrific when shutting down opponents.
Updates
It’s always important to look at the NHL injury report when breaking down a matchup, and it’s the Canadiens that have been hit the hardest. Montreal is playing without Kirby Dach and that is a big blow when it comes to offense for the Canadiens.
