Boston Bruins vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Picks

Since the start of this new year, the Golden Knights are tied for the second-most goals in the NHL. Their power play ranks fourth. Sparked by a hot Mark Stone, Las Vegas is averaging 4.3 goals a game in its 10 January games. Stone has produced 19 points in his last 12 outings. The Golden Knights have been good for at least three goals in eight of their last 10 games. Boston just surrendered six goals to the Stars in its last game two days ago at Dallas. The Bruins have been high-scoring, too, averaging 4.2 goals a game in their last 10 games. They also have scored three or more goals in eight of their last 10 games. The Golden Knights defeated the Bruins, 6-5, at home on Oct. 16, 2025, in the first matchup of the season between these two teams. This was the fourth straight time the OVER has cashed in the series. The Golden Knights beat the Bruins, 4-3, in Boston last year. Take the OVER. 

If there is one team Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy doesn't want to lose to, it's the Bruins. Cassidy coached Boston for seven years before joining the Las Vegas team four seasons ago. The Golden Knights blasted the Bruins 5-1 at home last season and also won at Boston. After beating the Blackhawks in overtime and the Sabres by two goals on an empty-netter with three seconds left, both at home, the Bruins face real competition here. Boston's three-game opening win streak was halted by a 4-3 loss to the Lightning. This is the Bruins' first road game since their opener. It is Boston's fifth game in nine days. The Golden Knights are returning home from a three-game road trip after a 4-2 win against Calgary this past Tuesday. Center Jack Eichel is tied for the NHL lead with nine points in four games. Eichel and Mitch Marner give the Golden Knights two of the best playmakers in the NHL. Las Vegas will be going with backup goalie Akira Schmid after Adin Hill suffered a lower-body injury in the first period of the Calgary game. The Golden Knights trailed Calgary 2-0, but rallied to win with Schmid stopping all 19 shots he faced. Schmid helped the Devils win a playoff series in 2023 and is 4-0-1 with the Golden Knights. Take Vegas to win. 

Vegas has winning records both home and away. Their +29 goal differential is the fourth-best in the Western Conference. The offense is fifth in the NHL in scoring and fourth on the power play, while the defense is seventh in goals given up (2.73 per game). They come off a 3-1 win at New Jersey. Boston has a minus-24 goal differential, the fourth-worst in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins are on a 7-11 run. The offense is 25th in scoring and 30th on the power play, while the defense is 22nd in penalty killing, 23rd in goals given up (3.16 per game) and in save percentage (.897). Play Vegas.
