The whole team has played a big part in its success, along with contributions from players like David Pastrnak, who has 19 goals and 18 assists to his credit.

Bruins vs Golden Knights Betting Prediction
The game is between two of the best teams in the league, both topping their respective divisions at the moment. Even though Boston have lost their last game, they should be comfortable coming into the game due to their team strength.
While Vegas have played well, their tendency to falter after a win puts them in discomfort. They have not played well against Boston at home and need to be cautious because of a dip in their goal-scoring and defending too.
With all the strength and past experience, Boston are strong enough to win this one.
