Vegas Golden Knights Odds
Vegas owe us a favour after edging out Anaheim 5-4 on Friday to ruin a 5.18 parlay in our NHL picks for that night.
Nicolas Roy netted twice, while Michael Amadio had a goal and two assists to leave the Golden Knights third in the Pacific Division.
Peter DeBoer was delighted with the spirit shown, stating: “Two desperate teams going at it out there, a hard-fought game.”
Roy added: “At this time of the year, it’s very important to get as many points as we can.”
That is certainly the case, with Edmonton, Vancouver and Anaheim all close up behind Vegas in a tight table.
The Golden Knights like to start fast and are 58-42 up in first-period goals this term, whereas Ottawa are down 45-48.
Looking at the NHL odds, that makes 1.95 for Vegas to lead after the opening 20 minutes a solid selection.
Ottawa Senators Odds
Ottawa did their best to recover from a poor start to the campaign but appear to be running on empty at the moment.
Last night’s 8-5 loss at Arizona made it six defeats from seven outings and seemed to take a lot out of the Senators.
They fought back from 4-0 down to lead 5-4 but ran out of steam late on at Gila River Arena.
Parker Kelly scored twice and Thomas Chabot had three assists but it was another deflating defeat for DJ Smith’s side.
“There were a lot of highs and lows, it was a fun game to play in, but in the end we’re all disappointed,” said Kelly.
Backing up after that will be tough, so 16.0 for a 4-2 home win completes our Vegas Golden Knights vs Ottawa Senators predictions.
