Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas has completed its away series, which did not start in the best way. The team quickly rehabilitated itself in front of the fans, interrupting a series of failures in the match with New Jersey (3:1). The team looked head and shoulders stronger than its competitor, and he narrowly escaped complete defeat. But it was not so easy to beat the next opponent, in the person of Boston. Once again, the knights showed a very active game in attack, which made it possible to compensate for defensive mistakes and snatch Victoria in regular time (4:3). It is difficult to single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Returning to their home arena, Cassidy's team fought Vancouver and again played reliably, preventing the killer whales from realizing their attacking potential and winning a landslide victory (3:1). The first star was goalkeeper Hill, who blocked 97% of shots.
However, it was not possible to continue performing in the same spirit on the road to Vegas. In the duel with Los Angeles, the team could not cope with the pressure of the opponent and suffered an unexpected crushing defeat with a score of 2:5. This time the goal was defended by Samsonov, who played much worse than his teammate. The club was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans only by returning to the home arena, where it met with one of the main outsiders of the league, in the person of Chicago, and showed all its attacking power, scoring five goals in the first period. True, the opponent began to recoup and almost made an incredible comeback, but still the knights were able to put the squeeze on the hawks and won the victory (7:2). The most productive was striker Barbashev, who scored a double and provided two assists. At the moment, the club is on the third line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the second position is only two points.

New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey has been showing the most unstable results for a very long time, alternating crushing victories with complete failures. After an unsuccessful performance at home and a defeat by Dallas (2:4), the team went to play on the road, where they met with Nashville and left no chance for their competitor, defeating him dry (5:0). This is not to say that the opponent showed a very weak offensive game, it's just that goalkeeper Dawes was on top, deflecting only 29 shots, thereby making a shutout. It is also impossible not to praise striker Hisher, who earned an assistant hat-trick.
As expected, the Motto proved to be unable to consolidate its success. The team went to visit a much more serious opponent, Colorado. This time, the opponent was able to realize his full attacking potential, and goalkeeper Allen failed in his main task, which eventually led to a crushing defeat (1:5). After that, the devils fought with Utah and played much more reliably defensively, which allowed them to win 3-1 without any problems and regain the lost points. Once again, goalkeeper Dawes proved himself by deflecting 96% of shots. New Jersey made a great start to this regular season and even was on the first line in the Eastern Conference table for a long time, but after that the team began a protracted decline, which is why it dropped to sixth place, with 72 points.

1.51Tip and bets
As you can see, New Jersey achieves success only in fights with far from the most serious opponents and is constantly losing to the favorites. The Devils are the outsiders in the upcoming match, which means they have little chance of success. Especially considering the fact that the Knights are in optimal shape and continue to delight the fans with their effective offensive play. In addition to this, it is worth saying that the Golden Knights will perform at their home arena, where they show their best with the support of the fans, which means we are betting in their favor.
Our betting tip is a Vegas victory in 2.12
Bet on the total
We can also expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Vegas mainly relies on the offensive line, while the Devils cannot boast of a reliable defensive game, and they will have to play on opposite courses if they want to give a worthy rebuff to the Knights.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.82
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vegas, due to its superiority over its opponent and the advantage of the home walls, will play number one, creating pressure on New Jersey from the very beginning of the match. We believe that the hosts have every chance to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Vegas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.70
