Bruins at Golden Knights 2/20/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Bruins are coming into this game sitting in second place in the Atlantic Division. However, the Bruins do have to hold off the team they just passed in the Maple Leafs. What will definitely help the Bruins in this game here is the fact they have come to life offensively in the last few games, but the Bruins have ended up getting 6 straight wins even with a defense that seems to have forgotten how to protect the net.

On the year the Bruins have been able to score only 3 goals a game, but the defense for the Bruins is giving up 2.55 goals a game. The Bruins are converting on the power play at 26.9%, but have managed to kill off 80.3% of the opponents power plays. The Golden Knights are coming into this game 10 points behind San Jose, but only 9 points over the Canucks. What is going to hurt the Golden Knights as this game comes together is the fact they are coming off of a 3-0 shut out loss to the Avalanche. What is even more shocking is the fact that the Avs do not have much in the way of an offense or defense that has played well on the season.

The Golden Knights offense has been able to score at a clip of 2.92 goals a game, but the Golden Knights have given up 2.80 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Golden Knights have managed to convert at 17.6%, but have ended up killing off 83.1% of the power plays they have faced.
