Penguins vs. Golden Knights Preview
This is a great schedule spot. Pittsburgh lost to Colorado last night by the score of 5-2 and now flies to Vegas for the second half of a back-to-back. About as tough a two-game stretch as you’ll find in the West.
Vegas is waiting, fully rested. The Golden Knights are 7-2 and sit first in the Western Conference after a 5-2 win over Nashville and a 6-2 win over Calgary this week.
With Arturs Silovs starting in Colorado, Sergei Murashov should get the net tonight.
Murashov has been decent through three starts and looked great against Columbus, stopping 45 of 47 shots to steal a point in an overtime loss. He followed that with a tough night in Chicago to open this four-game road trip, allowing four goals on 19 shots, including a bad one that proved costly. He has plenty of talent, but he seems prone to letting in a bad one a little too often.
It doesn’t help that Chicago was easily the softest stop on this trip. Colorado, Vegas, and Utah make up the rest, and Pittsburgh just hasn’t looked like it’s clicking consistently. Tired legs tend to show up late in games, and that’s when I think Vegas pulls away here.
The moneyline is too pricey, so I’ll take Vegas on the puckline at close to even money. An empty-netter could always help, but I think the Knights run away with this one.
I also like the over.
Pittsburgh hasn’t been as consistent as it’d like, but the Penguins can generate offense. Both teams rank in the top 10 in expected goals per 60 minutes and are averaging more than three goals per 60 through the first handful of games.
Add a tired Penguins team and a young goalie in Murashov, and you have the makings of a high-scoring game.
Best Bets:
- Golden Knights -1.5 (-104, FanDuel)
- Over 6.5 (-118, FanDuel)
