Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas continues to lose ground and is not at its best. Bruce Cassidy's wards are defending the title they won a year ago, and they had a very strong start to the regular season. The Knights led the Western Conference for much of the season, with their first noticeable slump coming in the second half of November. They coped well, playing several quality games, but losing too often by December and January. During this period, they lost six of their games in regulation time.

Boston Bruins

Boston is another team that has done well in the regular season in recent years. A year ago, the Bruins set many club records by finishing first in the league by a considerable margin. In December, for example, they lost six out of eight matches. Since then, they have turned things around: in their last eight games, they've been held scoreless just once, lost twice overtime, and won five times.

Expert Betting Tips

Vegas and Boston join the game in different states of mind. The Knights suddenly slumped at the turn of December and January, losing several places in the Western Conference standings. The Bruins overcame their crisis, picking up 12 points from a possible 16 in their last eight games - an excellent run of form that has seen them surge to the top of the Eastern Conference. Jim Montgomery's wards have the statistics to back them up, having won the last four consecutive meetings at the T-Mobile Arena.

Boston has been known for their pragmatic brand of hockey in recent times, which has led to some excellent results. Now, Jim Montgomery's men are playing with a much more upbeat and productive style, but that has not stopped them from continuing to score. In their last seven games, the Bruins have managed 55 shots on goal (an average of 7.86 per game), a very high rate by NHL standards.
