- Analysis
- At 10:07 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the money-line on the Vegas Golden Knights (81) versus the Vancouver Canucks (82). THE SITUATION: Vegas (49-22-10) had won two games in a row after their 5-4 loss at Calgary last night. Vancouver (38-29-4) has won three of their last four games after their 2-1 win against San Jose on Monday.
REASONS TO TAKE THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS WITH THE MONEY-LINE: Vegas has nothing to play for tonight regarding the standings in their last game of the regular season — and head coach Bruce Cassidy may opt to rest some of his best players tonight. But this team will still want to play better tonight to build some momentum for the playoffs starting this weekend. The Golden Knights have won 7 of their last 11 games on the road after losing to a fellow Pacific Division rival. They have also won 8 of their last 12 games when playing for the second time in two days. Goalie Adin Hill could use a good game as well after an underwhelming start to the month. For the season, he has a 32-13-5 record with a 2.47 Goals-Against-Average and a .906 save percentage. He ranks 16th in the NHL with +14.5 Goals Saved Above Expectation (GSAx). In his 14 starts against fellow Pacific Division rivals, he has a 10-3-1 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .915 save percentage — and two of his four shutouts were against these divisional rivals. Vegas has won 11 of their last 17 road games with the Total set at 5.5 including six of those nine games this season. They have also won 19 of their last 27 games against teams winning 40-49% of their games including 10 of those 14 games on the road. Vancouver has lost 13 of their last 17 games at home after winning their last game. They have also lost 10 of their last 11 games at home after winning at home in their last game. They have also lost 5 of their last 6 games at home after not allowing more than one goal in their last game. The Canucks are eliminated from the postseason — so they close out their season tonight. Kevin Lankinen is between the pipes. He has a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage this season. He is a little underwater relative to baseline goaltender performances given his -0.1 GSAx. In his 13 starts against Pacific Division opponents, he has a 2.67 GAA and a .897 save percentage. Vancouver has lost 11 of their last 14 home games when priced as a money-line favorite up to -200 — and they have lost 5 of their 6 games at home when priced from -100 to -150.
FINAL TAKE: The Golden Knights are outscoring their opponents by +0.6 Goals-Per-Game — and the Canucks have lost 15 of their last 21 games against teams who are outscoring their opponents by +0.5 or more Goals-Per-Game. 10* NHL Wednesday Late Show Bailout with the money-line on the Vegas Golden Knights (81) versus the Vancouver Canucks (82). Best of luck for us — Frank.
