If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Stars to take down the Golden Knights at home. With the moneyline currently at -139, I’m placing my bet on the Stars straight-up.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Stars to win and cover. Look for the Stars to win this one by multiple goals over the Golden Knights.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
