Vancouver continues to have an extremely unsuccessful stretch of the season, and another trip to Las Vegas hardly adds to optimism. The Golden Knights, on the other hand, have been steadily gaining points and have been doing almost without major failures for several weeks now. However, in the last meeting, the hosts lost to Nashville, although they managed to reach the shootout. In our betting tip, we will evaluate the attacking capabilities of both teams and try to choose a bet for the upcoming meeting
Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights ended the previous match with a 2-3 shootout loss to Nashville. In the first period, Viktor Olofsson answered Ryan O'Reilly's puck, and in the second twenty minutes Rasmus Andersson put the hosts ahead. However, it was not possible to keep the advantage. O'Reilly scored a double, after which the opponents failed to determine the winner either in regular time or in overtime. Roman Yossi played the decisive shot in the shootout.
At the same time, the position of Vegas remains quite good. Before the meeting with Nashville, the team won four in a row, beating Pittsburgh (3:2), Detroit (2:1), Buffalo (4:1) and Utah (5:3). The defensive game has improved especially noticeably. In the last five matches, the hosts have conceded only ten goals, excluding shootouts. The attack also works well, although crushing victories are rare now.
Vancouver Canucks
The Canadian club has already lost seven matches in a row, and in recent meetings it has not even been possible to regularly create serious problems for rivals. In the previous game, Vancouver hosted the Rangers and lost with a score of 1:5. It all started quite well: Elias Pettersson opened the scoring in the first period. However, then the guests seized the initiative and scored five goals. The second twenty minutes turned out to be especially unsuccessful, when the Canucks conceded four times.
Vancouver is also having big problems with the attack right now. In four of the previous five matches, the team was limited to a maximum of two goals scored. Even the return of individual players to the squad does not help change the overall picture yet. Brock Becer continues to score points and scored an assist in the last meeting, but the efforts of the leaders are clearly not enough. The team makes mistakes too often when going out of defense and loses the puck in dangerous areas.
Vegas has good opportunities to take advantage of the opponent's current problems. The hosts are noticeably more reliable in defense and rarely allow opponents to freely dispose of the puck near their goal. For Vancouver, which has been having a hard time creating dangerous moments lately, this is a particularly unpleasant circumstance. The Canadians will have to look for opportunities in counterattacks, but with the current number of mistakes, even this approach may not bring the desired result.
However, you shouldn't expect five or six goals from the Golden Knights either. In recent meetings, the team has more often achieved results through organized play, rather than constant pressure throughout all three periods. If the hosts gain an advantage quickly enough, they don't necessarily have to open up and turn the match into an exchange of attacks. The guests still don't look capable of maintaining a high tempo and regularly responding with their goals. Therefore, we expect a relatively calm meeting without a lot of pucks.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 6.5 goals in 1.78
