Florida Panthers vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Picks

If it were not for a 1-0 victory against the Red Wings, the Golden Knights would be 0-4 on their current homestand. Las Vegas is just 2-5 in its last seven games. One of those defeats came on the road to Florida, 3-0. The Panthers outshot the Golden Knights, 28-17, in that victory. Florida isn't going to lack motivation either after losing 3-1 to the Sharks on the road this past Saturday. The Panthers are in a position to win another multiple-goal game against the Golden Knights, considering how poorly Las Vegas is playing. This one should be low-scoring as well. Florida has given up three or fewer goals in four of its last five games. The Panthers hold foes to the second-fewest shots on goal and draw the sixth-fewest penalty minutes. The Golden Knights have scored three or fewer goals in six of their last seven games. They have a top-10 defense. Take the Panthers on the puckline and the UNDER.

Florida is the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion. But you sure wouldn't know that, judging by how the Panthers have been playing. Only a one-goal victory against the Bruins keeps the Panthers from having a six-game losing streak. Florida has lost to the Penguins, Sabers, Devils, Red Wings, and Flyers during this span. The Panthers'  latest defeat came at the hands of the Penguins, 5-3, at home this past Thursday. Now the Panthers get their toughest draw yet - the hot Golden Knights, who have won four in a row. Las Vegas has five victories on the season. The Golden Knights' defeats came in overtime and in a shootout. Las Vegas is first in the NHL in scoring, averaging 4.29 goals per game, and third in power play efficiency. Mitch Marner has been a nice addition to the Golden Knights with two goals and 10 points. Jack Eichel is also having a big start with six goals and 16 points. The spot is good for Las Vegas, too, as the Golden Knights haven't played since Monday. So they will be fully rested and prepared. Take the Golden Knights.

Vegas opened the season with three straight wins but have since dropped their last two. They remain +4 goals on the season and 2nd place in the NHL Pacific Division. They will take on the Florida Panthers on the road tonight. The Panthers have won three of their six games on the season but have been out-scored. They have not defended particularly well, as Florida has allowed three or more goals in all six games. The Golden Knights have a lot of offensive weapons and should put up a big number here. Make the play on Vegas.
