Utah Hockey League Golden Knights tips and predictions

forecast

Golden Knights 4, Utah Hockey Club 2

Money line

The Golden Knights (-175) will cost you almost twice your potential return, and that's just a bit too expensive for a single bet. If you were to include VGK as part of a multi-part NHL game or a cross-sport game, playing Vegas would be fine in that regard.

HAPPENwhen Vegas is played alone.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+140) is worth a try at plus money, but don't be surprised if you need an empty gate to get over the hump.

In the last four wins since Oct. 22, Vegas has won by two goals or more. So if you want Vegas to win, you should also like it covering the puck line.

Be careful, however, as the Utah Hockey Club has covered +1.5 (-165) as underdogs on the puck line in 4 of 7 games this season, including 3 overall wins.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is the lean one, but go with a Half-unit game at best.

The Under has a 5-1 record for the Utah Hockey Club, while posting modest returns in two of their last three away games.

For Vegas, the under was a money win in their last home game against the Flames, even though the over was 5-2 in their last seven home games.
