Golden Knights at Flyers projected goalies

Quick is enjoying quite the renaissance since being acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets at the trade deadline. He has won all 3 of his starts so far, including a 33-save shutout at Carolina last time out on Saturday.

Hart has coughed up 9 goals across his last 2 starts, a pair of road losses in Pittsburgh and Tampa. He won his most recent home start, stopping 25 of 26 shots in a 3-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings on March 5. Hart was in the cage for the 1st game with Vegas, stopping 32 of 34 shots in a hard-luck 2-1 OTL.

Golden Knights at Flyers picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Flyers 1

Moneyline

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-175) are worth playing, even as rather moderate favorites. Vegas has won 6 of its last 7 games overall, while going 6-1 in the last 7 games against Eastern Conference teams.

The Flyers (+150) have dropped 8 of the last 10 games at home, while cashing just once in the last 5 tries against Pacific Division teams, with a lone victory in 6 outings against Western Conference foes.

Puck line/Against the spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+135) are also worth playing lightly on the puck line, as they have won the last 2 games by 2 or more goals. Vegas has scored 4 goals in 3 straight games and has scored 3 or more goals in 6 of its last 7 while the Fyers have 3 total goals in the last 3 games, all losses.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+115) is a solid value at plus-money, mainly because Quick is playing with a lot of confidence, and the Fly Guys have been struggling offensively lately.

The Under is 12-3-1 in the last 16 road games for Vegas, while going 5-1 in the last 6 against Metropolitan Division teams.

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 games overall for the Flyers, while cashing in 5 of the last 7 outings at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Tampa Bay Lightning (39-22-6) meet the New Jersey Devils (44-16-6) Tuesday in the 1st game of a back-to-back set at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lightning vs. Devils odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Lightning are looking to rebound after a 3-2 setback against the Winnipeg Jets. Tampa Bay has been uncharacteristically missing a gear lately, going 2-5-2 in the last 9 games. The offense is averaging just 2.7 goals per game (GPG) in the last 10 games, which is nearly a full goal less than their season average of 3.5 GPG.

The Devils blanked the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Saturday, pulling into a tie with the Canes at 94 points in the Metropolitan Division, although Carolina has a game in hand. New Jersey has won 3 in a row, while picking up at least a point in 8 of the last 9 games, going 7-1-1 during the impressive span.

This is the 1st of 3 regular-season meetings, and in a bit of an NHL scheduling quirk, all of the meetings occur between March 14-19.

Lightning at Devils projected goalies

Andrei Vasilevskiy (29-17-4, 2.70 GAA, .914 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Vitek Vanecek (28-7-3, 2.48 GAA, .910 SV%, 3 SO)

Vasilevskiy has been mortal since the All-Star break, and he has allowed 3 or more goals in 5 of his last 6 starts since Feb. 28. He allowed 3 goals on just 22 shots last time out, and that was actually one of his better starts in March. Vasilevskiy is an uncharacteristic 1-2-2 with a 3.99 GAA and .865 SV% in 5 March outings.

Vanecek is coming off a 32-save blanking of the Hurricanes, his 3rd shutout of the season. He stopped a 3-start streak of allowing 4 or more goals, and he had given up 3 or more goals in 5 straight games since Feb. 18.

Lightning at Devils picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 5, Lightning 3

Moneyline

The DEVILS (-135) are worth a look, as New Jersey has been red-hot lately, while the Lightning (+115) have been struggling mightily.

In fact, the Lightning have won just once in the last 6 road games, while going 0-6 in the last 6 tries against teams with a winning overall record. They’re also 1-5 in the last 6 against Eastern Conference teams.

The Devils have won 9 of the last 11 games at home, while cashing in 10 of the last 12 against Eastern Conference foes.

Puck line/Against the spread

The DEVILS -1.5 (+160) are worth playing lightly on the puck line, as they have won by 2 or more goals in the last 2 games when favored, while going 5-5 in the last 10 games when favored.

There is some risk, especially against a traditionally good team. But the Lightning +1.5 (-220) are leaking oil lately, while the Devils are at or near the top of their game.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-110) is the lean in a game which should be a bit higher scoring.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 games on the road for the Lightning, while going 5-1-1 in the last 7 against teams with a winning overall record.

For the Devils, the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 against winning sides, while cashing at a 7-3 clip in the last 10 overall, including 4-1 in the last 5 at home.
