The Golden Knights welcome the Lightning to town, looking for their 5th straight win to further their lead at the top of the Pacific division in the West.

The Lightning are currently 3rd in the Atlantic division, sitting 1 point behind Toronto and looking to pick up some steam in the back half of the season.

In what should be a slug fest from start to finish between two presumable playoff teams and title contenders, get your popcorn out because tonight is gonna be fun.

The Lightning are fresh off of a disappointing shootout loss to the Coyotes but had won 3 straight games before that and 6 of their last 10.

The Golden Knights are simply on fire, winning 4 in a row and will want to make it 5 tonight in front of their Saturday night, electric Vegas crowd.

I love the over in this game, as I see both of these teams coming out hot and ready to fire.

Steven Stamkos and Co. have scored 3+ goals in 4 of their last 5 games and I expect that to continue tonight.

The Knights have scored 5+!! in 3 of their last 5 games and Jack Eichel and company will come out ripping.

3 of the last 4 games between these two teams have 6+ goals and I expect another goal fest tonight for the nice (-112) value.

Best Bet

Over 6 (-112)

Player Prop of the Game

Steven Stamkos o3.5 Shots on Goal (+118)

Steven Stamkos is one of my favorite players in the league, to watch and to bet on.

He has been playing great as of late as well, hitting his SOGs in 3 of his last 6 games and just had 5 in that shootout loss to the Coyotes.

Stamkos hasn't faced off with the Knights since January 29th, 2022 but had 5 in that matchup and has 4+ in 2 of his last 3 vs Vegas.

I love the plus money for one of the Bolt's best offensive weapons to rip plenty of shot on net tonight!
