Pittsburgh - Vegas: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Pittsburgh did not have the most successful away series, which began in the match with Colorado. As expected, the Penguins once again had huge defensive problems, and the attacking line was unable to compensate for this disadvantage, which together led to a 1-4 defeat. Next, the team went to visit another clear favorite, in the person of Vegas, where they could not score a single goal at all, losing dry (0-4). The attacking line looked as bleak as possible this time, and in three periods it was possible to make only 22 shots at the knights' goal.

Nevertheless, Sullivan's wards were able to interrupt this series of failures, playing as a guest of Minnesota. Once again, there were problems in defense, but goalkeeper Jarry showed himself at his best, reflecting 96% of shots, which allowed him to win 3-1. Also, it is impossible not to mention the efforts of striker Crosby, who scored a double. Due to its long decline, Pittsburgh continues to remain on the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is already 10 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Almost all the Pittsburgh players are in the ranks. Only Joseph and Novak remain in question.

Current form

Vegas has been in great shape for a long time and due to this was able to earn a winning streak of four matches in a row. In absolutely all of them, the team played on the home arena and did not leave any chances to its competitors due to an amazing offensive game. The knights played best in matches with Toronto and Pittsburgh, in which they defeated their rivals with a score of 5:2 and 4:0, respectively. In particular, it is worth praising striker Pearson, who scored four goals in both meetings.

Continuing to perform at home, the Golden Knights fought against Los Angeles and it seemed that they would be able to take advantage of their opponent's weak form and win another victory, but this did not happen. Suddenly, huge defensive problems arose, which allowed the Kings to realize their attacking potential to the fullest. Vegas tried to compensate for the failures due to constant pressure on the opponent, but in the end it still had to concede with a score of 5:6. Goalkeeper Hill also showed his worst side, reflecting only 82% of shots.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lavoie, Lehner and Theodore will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Karlsson is also questionable.
