Las Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone has piled up 30 assists through 32 games while serving as a driving force on one of the league’s highest-powered offenses.
Ahead of tonight's showdown in Boston, my Golden Knights vs. Bruins predictions expect a well-rested Stone to help facilitate another goal.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Thursday, January 22.
Golden Knights vs Bruins prediction
Golden Knights vs Bruins best bet: Mark Stone Over 0.5 assists (-130)
Mark Stone has recorded at least one assist in 59% of his appearances this season and in 72% of Vegas’ wins — noteworthy with the Vegas Golden Knights favored on the road against the Boston Bruins.
He’s been especially effective against teams that bleed shots to forwards. Stone has played 14 games against Bottom-10 shot-prevention defenses versus forwards, averaging — yes, averaging — two points. He’s logged at least one assist in 11 of those games, including a three-assist outing against these same Bruins back in October.
That success isn’t surprising given Stone rides shotgun with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev on a loaded top line, while also skating with Pavel Dorofeyev and Tomas Hertl on the man advantage. He’s surrounded by elite finishers who can capitalize on the chances he creates.
As a bonus, Jeremy Swayman is expected to get the night off. He ranks 14th in Goals Saved Above Expected per start, well ahead of tandemmate Joonas Korpisalo (47th).
This sets up as a spot where the Golden Knights could put up a healthy number.

Golden Knights vs Bruins same-game parlay
Eichel is a Boston kid who always seems to shine against the Bruins. He’s posted four straight multi-point games and has found the scoresheet in three of the past five head-to-head meetings.
With Eichel centering Stone at both 5-on-5 and on the power play, there’s a strong chance a Stone assist comes via a goal from his superstar linemate.
Shea Theodore averages 2.3 shots on 5.1 attempts and has cleared this line at a 70% clip this season. With two days of rest, those numbers jump to 3.2 shots on 6.3 attempts.
