Golden Knights at Penguins picks and predictions
Prediction
Golden Knights 4, Penguins 3
Moneyline
I'm taking the GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-105) even on a back-to-back and on the road. I'm not too worried about no rest because they traveled to Nashville and beat up on them 5-2 Oct. 13 in the same scenario.
Puck line/Against the spread
No interest. PASS.
Over/Under
Both teams are 6-4 O/U in their last 10. The first matchup this season went Over, and the last 2 meetings have been 6-2 final Overs.
Go OVER 6.5 (-120).
Best prop bet
Vegas RW MITCH MARNER OVER 0.5 ASSISTS (-125) is still at a decent price despite it cashing in the last 10 games.
