Vegas Golden Knights vs Boston Bruins Prediction: Don’t expect a lot of pucks

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on December 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Vegas is having a solid regular season. Astounding is the Knights' success after their failure last season when they failed to make the playoffs for the first time in their history. The new coach of the Black and Gold conveyed his message to his men, who began to show good results from the very first games. They looked particularly potent in October and November, posting nine straight victories. All this allows Vegas to lead in the Western Conference standings.

Boston is another team, which in the current regular championship, noticeably improved compared to last year's results. Back then, the Bears were at risk of missing the playoffs but eventually fell in the first round of the Stanley Cup. After that, there was a change of head coach, which helped black-and-yellow to overcome the crisis and reach a new level. Now the team shows consistently good results, allowing only past failures. One such happened the day before, when there was an unexpected defeat from Arizona - 3:4. Nevertheless, Boston remains in first place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Vegas and Boston are teams that share the same coach. Bruce Cassidy did a great job as head coach of the Bears, but in the offseason, he moved to Paradise. The Black and Gold won the recent head-to-head battle, but it will be tough to repeat this success now, as they play away even better than at home, where they had three losses in the last four games. The visitors should take advantage of this, so we need to bet on the victory of Boston in the match with the odds of about 1.68.

The confrontation between Vegas and Boston has not yet acquired an excellent history of face-to-face rivalry, but at the moment, it is not that productive, despite the high class of the teams. In the nine meetings, the opponents have only combined to score 48 goals (5.33 goals per game average). With that in mind, we would expect the total under 5.5 pucks for 2.15, and we should separately bet on the total over 0.5 points by Charlie McAvoy.
