NHL Betting Trends
Boston
The Bruins are 8-1 in their last nine road games. Boston is 44-14 in its last 58 games versus the Western Conference.
Las Vegas
The Golden Knights are 7-3 in their last 10 Tuesday games. Las Vegas is 1-4 in its last five games versus the Eastern Conference.
Prediction:
Las Vegas is back to being a nuisance for all comers this season, specifically San Jose so far as it won both ends of the home-and-home series. The Golden Knights have established their offensive flow so far, while the Bruins only managed one goal at Arizona. With the game in Las Vegas and the hosts having a bit more of an offensive identity in the early going, I’m going with the favorites here.
