In this article, we will formulate a Golden Knights vs Bruins Prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, March 20th, at the T-Mobile Arena. Let’s take a look at a Vegas Golden Knights vs. Boston Bruins Prediction.
Golden Knights Are Suddenly Struggling
The Golden Knights are suddenly struggling heading into this game, and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against the Buffalo Sabres, the Golden Knights were defeated in a shootout, and in the last game against the Detroit Red Wings, they ended up losing 3-0. Ilya Samsonav was in goal and saved 24 of the 27 shots he faced. The Golden Knights offense only managed 18 shots on goal also, and if they want to figure out here, they need to start putting more shots on goal.
The Golden Knights are averaging 3.29 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 2.7 goals per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league, while the defense is ranked 8th. They are averaging 30.3 shots per game, which is 4th in the league. Adin Hill is going to get the start in goal. He has a 24-11-5 record overall and is giving up 2.54 goals per game.
Bruins Are Ice Cold
The Bruins are ice-cold heading into this game, and they have lost three games in a row. Two games ago against the Tampa Bay Lightning, they lost 6-2, and in the last game against the Buffalo Sabres, they ended up losing 3-2. At the end of the first period, they were up 2-1, but as the game went on, they quickly fell apart and ended up getting knocked off in overtime. Morgan Geekie was the top player for the Bruins, scoring a goal and adding an assist. Joonas Korpisalio was in goal, and he saved 27 of the 30 shots that he faced.
The Bruins are averaging 2.69 goals while their defense is giving up 3.11 goals per game. With a team that has the talent, they just haven’t been able to live up to the expectations this season. If they want any chance in this game, they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going early in this game. Jeremy Swayman could be in goal for the Bruins. He sits with a 20-23-6 record and is giving up 3.0 goals per game.
Why the Bruins Will Beat the Golden Knights
- The Golden Knights have lost three of their last five games as favorites against opponents on a losing streak.
- The Bruins have won four of their last five road games against the Golden Knights.
- The Bruins have covered the puck line in seven of their last eight games as underdogs against Pacific Division opponents.
- The Golden Knights have failed to cover the puck line in four of their last five games as favorites.
- The Golden Knights have lost the second period in four of their last five home games following a road loss.
Golden Knights vs Bruins Prediction
I have to take the value here with the Bruins. Yes, the Bruins have struggled this season, but so have the Golden Knights heading into this game. The Golden Knights offense was sure a problem heading into the last game and they are going to really struggle to get going here. The Bruins offense is averaging only 2.69 goals per game, but they aren’t going to need to score that many goals here. The Bruins just have too much value here to pass up. Back the Bruins on the money line to cash.
