John Tortorella has seemingly righted the ship in Las Vegas, going 4-1 in his first five games as the bench boss.
My Golden Knights vs. Avalanche predictions expect Vegas to pick up another win against a Colorado team that doesn’t have much to play for after clinching the Presidents’ Trophy.
Let’s break down my NHL picks for Saturday, April 11.
Golden Knights vs Avalanche prediction
Golden Knights vs Avalanche best bet: Golden Knights moneyline (+110)
The Vegas Golden Knights have seen a big coaching bump under John Tortorella, winning four of five games and posting exceptional underlying numbers.
No team has controlled a larger share of 5-on-5 expected goals (61.23%) than the Golden Knights over the last five games. They also top the league with a +23 high-danger chance differential.
The Golden Knights need all the points they can get in a three-horse race for top spot in the Pacific Division.
Their improved play, and urgency for points, should serve them well against a Colorado Avalanche team that just clinched the President’s Trophy.
