Penguins vs. Golden Knights Prediction: Friday, March 7th
This one seems like the NHL picks ‘bet of the day’ for me as the Penguins hit the road to the desert to take on Vegas. It's NHL deadline day and the Penguins were big sellers this year and the team that started the season has been gutted and that’s great long term for Pittsburgh but for tonight they are short handed in a big way.
The Penguins are also riding a 3-game losing streak right now and have a record of 10-17-5 on the road this season. By contrast the Vegas Golden Knights are Stanley Cup contenders once again and they should take care of business on home ice tonight where they are 23-6-3 straight up.
Not only that though they are also the 2nd best home team against the spread this season at 20-11 behind only the Columbus Blue Jackets. Don’t over think this one and take Vegas on the Puck Line at plus odds on most books for our NHL best bets today.
