Blues vs. Golden Knights Prediction: Friday, October 11th

As we continue to learn about who these teams are in 2024, it appears the Blues have an offense, and the Golden Knights are still Cup contenders once again! I was impressed watching St. Louis last night as they came back to beat the Sharks by scoring 5 goals and winning in OT. 

That puts them now at 8 goals over 2 games and if they can just score 2-3 tonight then that’ll help push my agenda of betting this game to go over! The Golden Knights on the other side went wild in their opener against Colorado, scoring 8 goals, and there were 12 total goals in the game. 

Not every game will be like that of course, but this Blues team is on a back-to-back which means tired legs and sub-par goaltending hopefully, so give me the over on 6 goals in this game for my NHL best bets today! 

In addition to the game total, I am going to add a player prop to the NHL predictions card in the direction of a Vegas skater as I fully believe they’ll carry play in this game. I like the way Victor Olofsson fit into this team in game 1 of the season and I know it’s a small sample size but being on the powerplay is huge. 

After 2 goals the other day, I think he gets another point today for Vegas and that’ll pay out plus money!
