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.
