LiontipsVegas vs Montreal. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (June 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
Vegasmanaged to pull themselves together after two defeats in a row. With great difficulty, the Knights beat Montreal away, outside regulation time (2:1). We would like to praise the performance of goaltender Lehner, who saved 96% of the shots. That helped his team to hold out until overtime.
Before that, the Knights twice were close to taking the lead in the series, but couldn't score enough. Now the Golden Knights have returned home, where they have every chance of taking advantage.
Montreal, as expected, imposed a fight on Vegas in the semifinals. After a crushing defeat in the first game, the Canadiens quickly earned two victories, thereby gaining an advantage in the series. The Canadiens' defense does not allow the Knights to create many dangerous chances, which plays a huge role in the games.
In the second home game, Montreal could not win a third victory in a row. They were defeated in overtime (1:2). Montreal were the first to score again but failed to keep the advantage, and allowed the opponent to equalize 10 minutes before the end of the match.
