Flyers vs. Golden Knights Pick
Is the under the right play tonight when the Philadelphia Flyers play the host Las Vegas Golden Knights at 7PM ET?

Who the Public Likes: Las Vegas. As of Sunday afternoon, 72 percent of public bets have come in on the Golden Knights. Online wager info also shows that 69 percent of bets are on the over.
Who We Like: This is the first-ever meeting between the two franchises. Philadelphia enters on a three-game winning streak, which comes on the heels of a four-game winning streak. The Flyers are 7-3 in their last 10 games, while the over has gone 6-4. Las Vegas has won two of its last three games and is 6-4 in its last 10. The over is 8-2.
I have to side with the under here even though both teams come in stronger lately on the offensive end. The Golden Knights wouldn’t be where they are right now without a formidable defense and goaltending. This is an unfamiliar foe for the Flyers and they might not take as many chances as normal. Expect the game to be decided late after a strong defensive showing from both squads.
