Betting on the Vegas Golden Knights
- Regular Season Record: 5-2-0
- BetMGM Puck line: (-1.5 / +150)
- Moneyline: (-185)
- Over/Under: 6.5
Las Vegas continues its strong start to the season and, after losing to the Avalanche a couple of days ago, they defeated Toronto at home on Monday night.
In a fairly close contest, the Golden Knights had some unexpected heroes after Nicolas Roy and Michael Amadio got their first goals of the season, while Chandler Stephenson scored his third goal of the year to put his team on top early in the third period.
Las Vegas has yet to allow any team to score more than three goals on them this season, and when they concede two goals or fewer, their record is 4-0. In goal, Logan Thompson continues to do a good job of picking up his third win of the year after saving 18 of 19 shots and going scoreless after four Maple Leafs power plays.
Betting on the San Jose Sharks
- Regular Season Record: 2-6-0
- BetMGM Puck line: (+1.5 / -159)
- Moneyline: (+150)
- Over/Under: 6.5
Although the start of the season has been a real calamity for the Sharks, they may have some reason to believe that things can change in the coming days.
Of course, the Golden Knights are no pushover, but San Jose is coming off its second win of the year by blanking Philadelphia and begins a six-game homestand on Tuesday.
The Sharks have failed to establish any facet of the game so far this season as their offense has yet to score more than three goals in a game, while in four of their six losses they have conceded three goals or more.
The key for them is to be able to play better defense, something that was demonstrated in their two wins in the four-game road trip that just ended. In each of them, they conceded two goals or fewer, trying to even out the little offense they had shown so far.
JefeBet Prediction
The Sharks are coming off a whitewash of the Flyers, and starting a six-game home series can be quite motivating until we dig deeper into the stats and each team’s momentum.
Vegas, which has not allowed more than three goals to an opponent this season, faces an offense that has not scored more than three goals this year, and in the last seven games in San Jose the Golden Knights have a 7-0 record. In addition, in the last 26 meetings between the two, the favorite has a 19-7 record and in the last 28 games Vegas has won 20.
Prediction: Puck line of Golden Knights (LV 5 – SJ 2).
