Money line

BET ON GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-135).

Vegas has started the season well with three wins in a row, scoring three or more goals in every game. So far it has outscored its opponents 15-8 and has yet to play as an underdog. While the Knights’ first away game will take place on Tuesday, it will be against a team from Washington that conceded five goals at home in the season opener.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

HAPPEN.

While Vegas -1.5 (+170) is intriguing and worth a second thought, the moneyline offers better value for money. With Thompson in net against his former team, expect better play to keep Washington in this matchup.

BET OVER 6 (-110).

Two of Vegas’ three games this season ended with a total of seven or more goals scored. The Golden Knights have scored 3+ goals in all three games so far, and Hill has allowed three or more goals in both games, which is good news for the Over.
