Golden Knights vs Blues Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Blues to defeat the Golden Knights while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +124, I’m placing a wager on the Blues to win outright.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blues winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blues straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
