Bet on Bruins vs. Golden Knights
The Golden Knights surprised everyone with their 3-0-0 start, but the fact is this is still an expansion team full of marginal players outside of the couple talented veterans such as Neal and Fleury. Boston has been up-and-down out of the gate, but look for it to continue taking advantage of inferior competion such as it did against Arizona yesterday.
