The Vegas Golden Knights will host the Philadelphia Flyers after returning from a six-game road trip. The Knights have been close to unbeatable at home this season and are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games at T-Mobile Arena. However, the Flyers may be up to the challenge as they’ve won three straight and are 6-3 SU in their last nine road games.
- Vegas is 18-4 SU in its last 22 games at home.
- Philadelphia is 13-5 ATS in its last 18 games on the road.
- The total has gone UNDER in four of Vegas’ last five games at home.
Philadelphia is coming off a tough win vs Arizona last night and has fared well in the second game of a back-to-back at 5-3 SU in eight games. The Flyers' recent success has launched them to sixth in the Eastern Conference and they're led in scoring by Jakub Voracek (64 points) and Claude Giroux (62 points).
However, where Philly may be vulnerable tonight is in net as starter Brian Elliott left the previous game with an injury and will be replaced by Michal Neuvirth. Neuvirth has lost his last three starts and gave up 11 goals in those games.
The Knights will look to take advantage of the Flyers’ backup goaltender and continue their explosive scoring pace. Vegas averages 3.41 goals per game this season (ranked second) and has scored 14 goals in the last three games. At 19-5 SU at home this season, bettors should feel confident placing a wager on the Knights to continue their winning ways in the desert.
The total opened at 5.5 and trends are pointing towards an OVER. The Knights offense has been stellar all season and the OVER has hit in five of their last six games. When you factor in that the OVER has hit in six of the Flyers’ last seven games, this matchup has the potential for an offensive explosion.
