Rangers vs Golden Knights prediction

Rangers vs Golden Knights Best bet: Golden Knights moneyline (-140)

There is a significant gap between these two teams’ offensive production this season. Entering this matchup, the Vegas Golden Knights rank in the top half of the league in goals scored per game, while the New York Rangers are third-to-last in the same category.

Vegas has been more efficient on the man advantage, sitting 11th in power-play percentage, while the Rangers check in at 20th. The Golden Knights are also generating more high-danger scoring chances, placing ninth in expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF/60).

Not only are the Knights creating high-danger opportunities, but they’re also suppressing them at an elite rate. 

This season, Vegas sits third in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60). The Knights are the superior team on both ends of the ice, especially with New York coming in lower in this key metric as well.
