Boston Bruins vs. Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on Boston +1.5 here. I just think this is going to be a close game and we haven’t really seen Vegas pull away in a lot of games this season. Boston’s been really competitive early on this season and I think this is another close one if Boston doesn’t win it outright. Give me the Bruins +1.5 here.
