OUR ANALYSIS
MONEYLINE: Our lean is the Vegas Golden Knights at 1.660. Our model gives Vegas a 62.6% chance, while the odds imply 60.2%, a thin edge. The numbers point the same way: Vegas scores 3.70 goals per game to Ottawa's 2.60, and Johansson allows 4.07 goals per game.
TOTALS: We're backing OVER 6.5 at 1.960. Our projection is 7.30 goals, 0.80 goals above the line. Both goalies remain under a 0.900 save percentage, and Vegas and Ottawa allow 3.00 and 2.80 goals per game, respectively. The head-to-head results back up this profile: Ottawa won 7-1 at home on January 25, 2026, and Vegas won 6-4 at home on October 25, 2024. The market is holding at the opening line of 6.5, and our projection is above it.
Adin Hill allows only 2.64 goals per game, and Ottawa scores 2.60. A tight night under 6.5 is therefore possible. We accept that risk, because Vegas has allowed 3.00 goals per game over its last 10 games.
We're backing OVER 6.5 @ 1.960, our official pick. Our lean is the Vegas Golden Knights @ 1.660, with no staking advice.
