Vegas vs New Jersey: the Golden Knights Desperately Need a Win

Prediction for the NHL Vegas vs New Jersey match, which will take place on April 19 at 05:00. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

Vegas still has a chance to make the playoffs - ahead of this game, they are in fourth place in the Pacific Division standings with 87 points. They are just three points behind third L.A., plus they have played one less game. It should be noted that after five wins in a row, the Golden Knights began a series alternating these very victories with losses (in five meetings already).

New Jersey can already take stock of the season. The team has long since lost any chance of making the playoffs, so they are playing the regular season without any tournament motivation. The Devils sit in seventh place in the Capitals' division standings with 59 points. After two wins in a row, New Jersey lost first to Colorado (1:3) and last game to Seattle (3:4, shootout).

Analysts believe that Vegas will not have any problems with New Jersey, and we agree with them. The Golden Knights keep their chances of making the playoffs, so they are absolutely forbidden to lose points. And they'll have an easier time with the support of their home crowd.

• Vegas is the clear favorite.
• They have scored more than four goals in each of their last six games at home in Vegas.
• In the past five games at home, Vegas has scored first.

But New Jersey scores at least the consolation puck almost every time, so we suggest betting on a win for the home team with a "both score". It is also worth considering the option of a regular total over.
