Vegas Golden Knights vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/01/26

The Vegas Golden Knights make the third stop on a five-game road trip against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The Golden Knights will be playing at 10 a.m. their time, so keep that in mind for this contest. Vegas suffered a 3-2 loss on Thursday night as the Under (6) cashed with Akira Schmid in between the pipes. Adin Hill is likely to be back in goal on Sunday afternoon. The loss dropped the Golden Knights to 3-4-2 in the past nine games, and 1-4-1 in the past six games against Eastern Conference opponents. This is the first of two meetings in the next 11 days, as they also meet in Nevada on Nov. 12.

The Penguins were on the short end of a 3-2 shootout loss at Madison Square Garden behind Stuart Skinner on Saturday afternoon. Now, they face the quick turnaround at home on no rest in a day game. Pittsburgh is 3-3-4 in 10 games this season when playing on no rest, while the Over has cashed in six of the past seven games for the Penguins in the second end of a back-to-back situation. The Over is 10-4 in the past 14 games for VGK on the road, too. While it’s an early start, as far as internal clock, for the Golden Knights, expect this one to get across the finish line for an Over before the dust settles.

Over 6.5 (+100) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
