Bruins vs Golden Knights Prediction
The Vegas Golden Knights have lost five of their last seven games and have issues here and there finishing offensively. I’m not excited to lay juice with Vegas in its current form. Also, this is an early start on the East Coast for a team with a West Coast body clock. The Boston Bruins have seen 18 of their 27 wins come at home this season, and they’ve shown flashes of getting it together with wins in two of their last three games, which includes a tough game against the Rangers. The Bruins have won seven of the last 10 games against the Golden Knights. I’ll grab the Bruins and the more favorable price on Saturday afternoon.
