Pittsburgh vs Vegas Prediction: the Penguins Will Fail to Win Over the Knights Again

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Pittsburgh vs Vegas, which will take place on March 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's having a tough season. It's clear that Mike Sullivan is finding the age of the team challenging, and the Penguins' results have been pretty dismal from a distance - they're currently 15th in the East with 60 points, and only Buffalo has a worse record. But they do still put on some great performances, even if they have lost eight out of the last ten games. The day before, they beat Minnesota 3-1 away from home, which was a surprise.

Vegas

Vegas finally got their act together and things are looking up for them. They had seven wins in the last nine games, but lost the day before. In a close game with Los Angeles, it was the Kings who came out on top (6-5). In the overall Western Conference, Vegas is doing pretty well with 82 points, and fans will be happy with the management's approach.

H2H Meetings

The Golden Knights and Pittsburgh played each other once this season, and the Golden Knights won 4-0.

Expert Betting Tips

We don't think Pittsburgh will do well in the next game. The two teams met recently on March 8th, and the Golden Knights absolutely thrashed their opponents, winning 4-0. The difference is huge. The Penguins will be gunning for revenge at home, so it'll be a tough ask for Ilya Samsonov to have another shutout. But the visitors still have to get a win on the road, and we're backing them to do just that.
