Boston vs Vegas Prediction: the Bruins Should Be Closer to Victory

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Boston vs Vegas, which will take place on February 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston

Boston is one of the most stable teams in the league and has always done the bare minimum to make it to the play-offs. It looked like they would keep on doing that, but in the current regular season, the Bears are performing mediocrely and might miss out on the cup battles for the first time in ages.Joe Sacco's men got off to a very productive start in February. They beat the Rangers and Minnesota 6-3 and 3-0, but lost to the Rangers 2-3 the day before, so they couldn't keep winning. Now Boston is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Vegas GN

Vegas usually does well in the regular season. This season is no exception. The Knights were doing really well for a while, racking up points and holding a solid spot in the cup. But by 2025, they started to lose steam, falling behind.

In their last 15 meetings, Bruce Cassidy's team lost 11 times, only defeating Minnesota 4-1, St. Louis 4-2, Florida 4-1, and just edging out New Jersey 3-1. This not-so-impressive run of games has left the Blacks and Golds in fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

H2H Meetings

Boston and Vegas haven't met in the current regular season yet. But last season they played two head-to-head battles, with the Knights winning 2-1 and the Bears winning 5-4.

Expert Betting Tips

Boston and Vegas have been pretty average recently. The Knights have failed11 out of the last 15 games, and they're starting to fall behind in the Western Conference standings. It'll be tough for them to improve their stats, especially since they couldn't beat the Bears in regular time in five head-to-head meetings in a row.

We already said that Boston and Vegas aren't in the best shape, so we can't expect them to put on a show. They're both in need of points, so it's more important for them to play pragmatically and focus on results rather than playing cheerfully and openly.
