Florida Panthers vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis

The Vegas Golden Knights travel to Sunrise on Tuesday looking to keep a recent three-game winning streak alive against a patchy Florida Panthers team in this one.

The Golden Knights, who sit atop the Western Conference, put together two very impressive performances last week, delivering home wins against two of the East’s top teams in the Carolina Hurricanes and the New Jersey Devils respectively.

The Panthers meanwhile have continued to struggle, alternating wins and losses since early February as they continue to try and make up ground in the Eastern Conference.

These two teams met earlier in the season back on January 12th, with the Vegas Golden Knights coming out with a 4-2 win over in the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas.

That’s been par for the course across recent meetings in this series as well, with the Knights winning five of the last six head-to-heads against the Panthers.

Vegas Remains Solid On The Season

Unlike a lot of the other top teams in the NHL, the Vegas Golden Knights haven’t been doing anything remarkable this season, sitting outside of the top five in both scoring offense and scoring defense this year, with their consistency being their major defining factor this season.

The Knights also rank bottom half in the league in expected goals differential this season at -4, meaning, unlike a lot of the top teams, luck hasn’t played a significant factor in Vegas’ success this season.

Panthers Welcome Back Forwards

Despite their recent inconsistent form overall, the Florida Panthers had a major boon last time out in welcoming back both Sam Bennett and Aleksander Barkov to the lineup, players who had been missing for a number of games as they routed the Pittsburgh Penguins in a lopsided 4-1 win at home.

Both Bennett and Barkov combined for 67 goals last season in what was the league’s best offense.

Florida Panthers vs Vegas Golden Knights Expert Prediction

Florida will be buoyed by the return of their two star forwards ahead of this one as both Bennett and Barkov showed how potent they can be with Bennett scoring the opening goal against the Penguins on Saturday and Barkov coming out with two assists also.

However, they face a Golden Knights team here on Tuesday that are in some pretty red-hot offensive form themselves, averaging 4.33 goals per game across their last nine wins and who rank top five in offensive xG this season as well.

We’re expecting this one to be a higher-scoring affair here on Tuesday and are backing the Over 6.5 goals between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers.

Prediction: Over 6.5 (-130)
