Boston coming off of a huge emotional O.T win vs S.J. Golden Knights need to rebound as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games and are falling rapidly in the standings. They are 6th in their conference but Dallas is creeping up as they now sit 5 points back from Vegas and the last playoff spot is only only 8 points behind them which is Minny. I think the real threat is Chicago, Arizona, and Colorado who are only 9 points behind Vegas. Not to mention Vancouver and Anaheim who are also going to make a run sitting only 9 and 11 points behind Vegas. Sounds like a lot of points to make up but IF Vegas doesnt turn this ship around soon they will be looking in from the outside. Had a nice 5-1 performance at home last time there vs Nashville. Coming off a terrible loss vs Colorado. Vegas looks to be chopping at the moment. IF that is the case they get the win here this evening.
Also Boston is playing its 4 game in 6 nights all on the road. Vegas opens up a 4 game home stand. They will want to get this thing off to a good start. Risky thing betting against a hot Boston team, but Boston surely must be a little tired with all of the travelling and all of the energy they used in that last game vs S.J. Not all that comfortable with the pick but there are a lot of signs pointing to Boston loses this game. That being said Boston is tough to beat right now. I just feel that Vegas has the extra step tonight. Fingers crossed. I hope I am correct. lol
