When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Golden Knights. Nevertheless, given the payout of -181, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Hockey Club to cover. Even in the event of a Golden Knights victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Hockey Club should cover the puck line.

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