Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

VGS Golden Knights

Vegas is doing awesome. In fact, the Golden Knights are the only guys who have not had a single slump so far. Stability and balance is the Knights' main strength, which they are using very successfully. With 53 points in the asset, the team is leading in the overall Western Conference table. They are approaching the upcoming battle in incredible conditions - ten victories in 11 games, and the day before, Vegas beat Calgary 3:0.

MON Canadiens

Montreal is surprising! Few would have thought that the Canadiens would be capable of a stretch of five wins in six games. After a break, they beat Florida 4:0 and then Tampa Bay (5:2). Needless to say, the Canadian club is still not very high in the overall Eastern Conference table, and still needs to add to the Wild Card. With 35 points, Montreal is 12th in the standings, but if they keep it up, they'll jump into the top-8.

Expert Betting Tips

It's not for nothing that experts of bookmaker companies consider Vegas to be the favorite of the upcoming battle, and we agree with them. Of course, Montreal is impressive, even exceeding expectations, but we still doubt that the Canadiens are capable of systematic success. That said, the Golden Knights are a benchmark team, having won ten of their past 11 games. We think that with their fans, Vegas won't have any big difficulties, and they will deal with their opponent with class. We bet on a victory for the home team.
