Utah Hockey League at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Utah Hockey Club 2

Moneyline

The Golden Knights (-175) will cost you almost twice your potential return, which is just a bit too expensive for a standalone bet. If you were to include VGK as part of a multi-leg NHL parlay, or a cross-sport parlay, playing against Vegas would be fine in that regard.

PASSAGEif you play Vegas straight.

Puck line/against the spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+140) is worth playing with plus money, but don’t be surprised if you need an empty net goal to get over the hump.

In the past four wins since Oct. 22, Vegas has won by two or more goals, so if you want Vegas to win, you’d also like it to cover the puck line.

Be careful though, as the Utah Hockey Club +1.5 (-165) has been an underdog on the puck line in 4 of 7 games this season, including 3 outright wins.

Top/Bottom

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is skinny, but go with a playing with half units at its best.

The Under is on a 5-1 run for Utah Hockey Club while being short on cash in two of the past three games.

For Vegas, the Under cashed in the most recent game against the Flames at home, even though the Over is 5-2 in their past seven home games.
