OUR ANALYSIS
MONEYLINE: Our model leans toward the Vegas Golden Knights at 50.8%, while the 1.950 odds imply 51.3%: the price doesn't pay off this scenario. The numbers favor Vegas on expected goals against, but the fatigue of the back-to-back and Pittsburgh's five absences partly offset each other. No moneyline pick.
TOTALS: Our model projects 5.80 goals against a line of 6.5, which is 0.70 goals below it, on the Under side. No pick is published on this market. Expected goals per game are 3.29 for Pittsburgh and 3.34 for Vegas, and Pittsburgh allows 3.81 expected goals per game. The two goalies at a .889 save percentage point more toward an open game.
Pittsburgh has 2 defensemen on long-term injured reserve, Graves and van Riemsdyk, and allows 3.81 expected goals per game: an open game could go over the 6.5 line. On the moneyline side, Vegas' back-to-back could tilt the game toward Pittsburgh.
We are not playing this game: no moneyline pick and no total pick.
