Kings vs Golden Knights Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Golden Knights to come out with a win against the Kings while playing at home. Considering the moneyline odds at -152, I’m placing my bet on the Golden Knights to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Golden Knights to secure the win and cover. Expect the Golden Knights to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Kings.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
