Vegas Golden Knights vs Florida Panthers Prediction: The Knights look very confident

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on January 13. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Vegas has been having an excellent regular season, but the results have worsened lately. The Knights had a nearly perfect start to the season, leading the Western Conference standings, but they gradually began to let their rivals down. The Black and Gold had a fragile stretch in late December when they lost four of their six games. Fortunately, they managed to avoid further setbacks as they won three straight but lost to Los Angeles 1:5 the day before. Nevertheless, Vegas shares first place in the West with the Stars and Kings.

Florida has yet to come close to last year's results when they set numerous club records and reached the President's Cup. Since the change in head coach, results have dropped dramatically, although Paul Maurice is trying to make progress from his charges. At times they look even decent, but a setback inevitably follows a decent stretch. In the last four meetings, the Southerners allowed only one loss against Dallas - 1:5, but they beat Arizona - 5:3, Detroit - 3:2, and Colorado - 5:4. So far, that's good enough for only 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

There haven't been too many memorable moments in the confrontation between Vegas and Florida, but some trends can already be identified. For example, the guests still haven't picked up their debut win at T-Mobile Arena. In all four previous head-to-head encounters in Paradise, the home team has won, and on three occasions, they have done so in regulation time. And now the Knights are the favorites because they look very confident on the home court, having won four of the last five games. As a result, a bet on the victory of Vegas in the match with the odds of about 1.736 is inevitable.

Vegas every time not only beats Florida at home but also constantly upsets the goalkeepers of the Panthers. In the four previous head-to-head encounters at T-Mobile Arena, the home team scored 20 pucks (5.00 average per game), and all the goals were evenly distributed throughout all the games, scoring in each by exactly five pucks. And in the upcoming battle, we expect their productive actions of them on offense, so the best option for the prediction seems to be an individual total of Vegas over 4.5 pucks at odds close to 4, and separately we should bet on the total over 0.5 points by Reilly Smith for 1.83.
