Vegas Golden Knights vs Boston Bruins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/22/26

The Vegas Golden Knights will take on the Boston Bruins Thursday Night. Both teams come into this one after losing their previous game. Both teams have been in great form recently. The Golden Knights have won 7 of their last 10 while the Bruins have won 8 of their last 10. For the Bruins, they are riding a 5-game win streak at home. The Bruins recent ability to score, ignoring the last game, has been impressive as they rank 20^th on the season in shots on target. Additionally, they lead the league in opponent power play opportunities. These are two areas that could cause problems for the Bruins in this game.

For the Golden Knights, they have won their last 3 games away from home. The Golden Knights also have a +11 goal differential through their last 5 games. Looking at the statistics, the Golden Knights have a couple of edges in this game. The biggest edge is going to be the lack of shots on target that the Golden Knights give up. On the season, they lead the league with the fewest shots on target against them averaging out to 24.6 shots per game. This could be a problem for the Bruins who already have the disadvantage in shots. Additionally, the Golden Knights have scored on 26.5% of their power plays and the Bruins will most likely give up some penalties. Overall, the defensive play of Vegas will control this game and should force some power play opportunities. I am taking the Golden Knights on the money line.
