Vegas Golden Knights @ Utah Hockey Club - November 15, 2024

Alright, folks! It’s that time again! The excitement is buzzing in the air as the Vegas Golden Knights gear up to take on the Utah Hockey Club at the Delta Center this Friday. You know I’ve got my lucky jersey ready for game day; you can’t miss a chance to support your team when they hit the ice!

Now, let’s break it down. The Golden Knights come into this matchup with a solid record of 10-4-2 and are favored at -152 on the moneyline. Last time out, they pulled off a tight 3-2 win against the Ducks which showcased their grit. They’ve been pretty strong overall, going 7-3 in their last ten games, but let’s not forget that they’ve struggled to cover spreads lately — they’re just 1-5 ATS in their last six games.

On the flip side, we have our underdog Utah Hockey Club sitting at 7-6-3. They’re riding high after a confident 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. When it comes to offensive stats, though, they’re lagging behind with an average of just 2.7 goals per game and a shooting percentage underwhelming at about 10.4%. While they do have decent defensive stats with an impressive save percentage of 89%, their power play has room for improvement at only 15%.

The Golden Knights boast a higher offensive output with an astounding average of around 4.2 goals per game along with nearly 30 shots per game! Their power play is firing on all cylinders too, clocking in at over 32%. With such firepower and momentum behind them, I see them taking control early in this matchup.

Utah has shown resilience but let’s be real here; they’re going to need more than that against a formidable opponent like Vegas who has found ways to score consistently while maintaining good defensive statistics as well (also boasting an impressive save percentage of 89%). Plus, it’s hard to ignore how many games recently have gone UNDER for both teams — especially Utah where eight out of eleven have gone under this season.

In terms of betting predictions: I firmly believe that Vegas will emerge victorious tonight and cover the spread without breaking much of a sweat. Given their knack for finding ways to pile on goals combined with Utah’s struggle to generate offense consistently against top-tier teams like this one? Yeah—I’m leaning heavily towards UNDER on total goals too.

So buckle up everyone because it’s going to be another thrilling night filled with big hits and powerful plays! Let’s go Knights; bring home that victory!
