Predators vs Golden Knights Prediction, Odds and ATS Picks
It has been more than a month since the Nashville Predators have won back-to-back games. Looking to accomplish that feat on the road against the reigning Stanley Cup champions will be no easy task. When looking at our best NHL bets today, Vegas is favored for just the sixth time in its last 11 home games.
Vegas has won four of the last five games against Nashville, including a 4-1 home win last month in the first meeting of the season between the teams. Each of the last two games between the teams landed under the total.
The +175 odds for Vegas to cover as 1½-goal home favorites according to our NHL betting lines seems like a pretty good bet. Vegas might have found something in rookie Mason Morelli, who had two points in his NHL debut on Monday.
Looking at NHL futures odds, Vegas is tied for ninth at +1400 in our odds to win the Stanley Cup, with the Predators coming in at +8000 in the championship odds.
