NHL Betting Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Vegas Golden Knights
November 19, 2023
The Vegas Golden Knights and Pittsburgh Penguins face off in an exciting NHL matchup on Sunday, November 19 at 6:00 PM ET. The Golden Knights are slightly favored to succeed on the road with a moneyline of -120.
Date: November 19, 2023 at 6:00 PM ET
Location: PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Coverage: NHL NET
Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview
The Golden Knights have put up an excellent showing through the first quarter of the season. They have consistently shown they are one of the best teams in the league. Their recent performance, however, was a 4-3 overtime defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers.
They are leading in the Pacific Division, which has been a common theme this season. Can they bounce back on the road and in back to back games?
The Golden Knights have been averaging 3.59 goals a game and take 31.4 shots to get there. They have accumulated 158 penalty minutes and have scored a total of 14 goals and have allowed seven. Currently, their power play percentage is at 24.1.
They are allowing 2.35 goals a game and let teams average 29.8 shots each performance. Their penalty kill percentage stands at 86.8, which only slightly edges out the Penguins in this matchup.
Pittsburgh Penguins Betting Preview
The Penguins have very similar stats in comparison to the Golden Knights. However, they have lost a handful of close games that could have gone their way, making their record seem a little misleading. They had a solid performance against the Carolina Hurricanes recently, but prior to that they have gone 5-1 for the month of November.
They have solid back to sixth in the Metropolitan Division with their struggles, but recent wins have allowed them to stay competitive. Landing a string of wins again would likely boost their rank within the division.
The Penguins average 3.53 shots a game and fire up 34.5 shots. Their penalty minutes now show around 114, with seven power play goals for and against. They also have a power play percentage at 16.7.
They are giving up 2.80 goals a game and allow teams to produce 29.9 shot attempts. Their penalty kill percentage is at 85.1, which rivals what the Golden Knights have.
Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick
MyBookie has the odds for this matchup, which reveals the Vegas Golden Knights as slight favorites to win. Both teams match up well on paper, which should make this a great battle.
Pittsburgh Penguins: +100
Vegas Golden Knights -120
The Golden Knights have lost back to back games only once this season, but this will be another tough test. However, their stats show that they have the ability to win this game by at least one goal.
Spooky Express Pick: Vegas Golden Knights -120
