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 +128, I’m placing a wager on the Blues to win outright.

Our projections have the Blues pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Blues, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down 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.
