The Vegas Golden Knights have consistently played in high-scoring games on the second leg of back-to-backs.
Given the struggles of Adin Hill in net, my Golden Knights vs. Red Wings predictions expect the goals to continue flowing in Detroit.
Let’s break down my NHL picks for Wednesday, March 4.
Golden Knights vs Red Wings prediction
Golden Knights vs Red Wings best bet: Over 5.5 (-130)
Adin Hill is projected to start for the Vegas Golden Knights, which is a recipe for goals. He's performed miserably, posting an .858 SV% through 14 appearances.
Things aren’t improving in the least. Hill has conceded at least three goals in seven of nine starts in 2026 and ranks 65th among 66 eligible netminders in Goals Saved Above Expected (-11.83) along the way.
Vegas will need to outscore its problems, and it's capable of doing so. The Knights have averaged 4.11 goals per game in the second leg of back-to-backs this season.

Golden Knights vs Red Wings same-game parlay
Jack Eichel has been a menace in back-to-backs this season, scoring eight goals over nine games. He generates a ton of his volume from the slot, and the Detroit Red Wings rank 30th in slot shots allowed.
Dylan Larkin has found the net in 44% of his games against Bottom 16 teams in goals against. He’s now skating on a line with the pass-happy Patrick Kane, which should lead to more shooting opportunities.
