Golden Knights vs. Bruins Preview and Pick
Analytically, the Golden Knights are the superior team in this matchup. This season, Vegas outranks the Bruins in expected goal share, expected goals for per 60 minutes and expected goals against per 60 minutes.
This matchup also features two goaltenders who are trending in different directions. After a strong start to the season, Boston's Jeremy Swayman has started to falter lately.
He has lost three of his past four starts, posting an .870 save percentage and a 3.23 goals-against average over that stretch. On the other hand, the Knights' Carter Hart has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his past six starts.
He is 3-2-1 with an .895 save percentage and a 2.66 goals-against average over that span. These are two of the better teams in the league thus far, but it's worth taking a shot on the Stanley Cup Final runners-up at the price of -118.
Pick: Golden Knights Moneyline (-118 at DraftKings)
