Coyotes vs. Golden Knights Pick
Will the Vegas Golden Knights stay unbeaten when they hold their first home game tonight at 10PM ET against the Arizona Coyotes?
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, the Knights are the slight favorite to win, as Vegas is getting odds of -115 to win. The Coyotes are listed with a money line of -105 to prevail, while the over/under total has been set at 5.5 goals. Vegas already holds a 2-1 shootout win over Arizona this past weekend. Tonight’s game takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The game will air live on NBCSN.

Bet on Coyotes vs. Golden Knights
The Coyotes will have payback on their mind, but I don’t see them getting it tonight. The setting should be a big advantage for the Knights tonight as they host their first-ever home game in the regular season. The crowd should be live, especially with the 2-0 start. I don’t think Vegas can keep up the winning, but the crowd should be able to will them to a 3-0 start tonight.
