LiontipsBoston vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 15, 2021).
Command Analysis
Boston are currently 8th in the Eastern Conference table. They finally reached the playoffs zone following their victories over Edmonton (3:2) and Calgary (4:2). The Bruins do not show a particularly exciting hockey this season, and act very pragmatically in every game. It is rare to see them score more than 3 goals in one game.
Vegas are also 8th - in the West. They have started delivering better results since several key players recovered from injuries and returned to the ranks. However, after three consecutive victories, the Golden Knights suffered a defeat to Philadelphia (3:4) at home. They bounced back in the following game and crushed Minnesota (6:4). The Knights usually play open hockey and average about four goals per game.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Vegas
The two sides scored more than five goals only in one of all their previous head-to-head games. The previous games of Boston weren't high-scoring either. Considering that, we suggest playing the total under.
Take the total under 5.5 goals
