Golden Knights vs Avalanche Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Avalanche to defeat the Golden Knights while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -161, I’m placing a wager on the Avalanche to win outright.

If you’re looking for my recommendation on the puck line, I suggest taking the Golden Knights to cover. Even if the Avalanche manage to win outright, this game is expected to remain competitive, and the Golden Knights should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
