Vegas Golden Knights vs Boston Bruins prediction
The Boston Bruins are going to get the benefit of the doubt every time they’re at home. However, the Bruins have been shaky as of late and have played 6 straight overtime games. At some point, tired legs are going to kick in for the Bruins, if they’re not already. The Vegas Golden Knights are also a good enough team that deserves a look in the underdog role regardless of circumstances. Give me Vegas and the plus money based on the value.
