NHL Odds, Preview, Prediction: Golden Knights vs. Bruins (December 5)

The Boston Bruins extended their home winning streak to 14 games with their win against the Avalanche on Saturday night. The Las Vegas Golden Knights come to town playing good hockey, but they could be missing two of their most important players in Jack Eichel and Alex Pietrangelo.

The Golden Knights are 2-1-0 on their current road trip. They are 11-2-3 away from home this season. Their goaltender Logan Thompson is an early leader for the Calder trophy. The Golden Knight's penalty kill ranks 24th in the league with a 74.2% success rate.

The Boston Bruins are playing their fourth straight home game. They have outscored their opponents 11-4 in the first three games. The team has the second-best power play in NHL (29.6%) and have scored a goal on the man advantage in nine straight games (9 goals). David Pastrnak has been on fire lately with 15 points in 10 of his past 11 games and 8 goals in that span. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman are the best goalkeepers in league.

Golden Knights have been a fantastic hockey team this season. The Golden Knights were traveling all week and the Bruins have had a week off. Boston is a dominant team at home and they are scoring 4.00 goals at their home rink and only allowing 1.57.

Golden Knights are the favorite to beat the Bruins on December 5th.
