Vegas Golden Knights @ Pittsburgh Penguins Preview

The Vegas Golden Knights (38-19-6) are coming off a tough 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Kings but remain one of the top teams in the Pacific Division. They have been dominant when scoring at least three goals, boasting a 36-7-4 record in such games. The Pittsburgh Penguins (25-31-10), meanwhile, are fresh off a 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild, snapping a three-game losing streak. However, the Penguins have struggled overall, losing eight of their last ten games (2-6-2).

Vegas has been strong offensively, ranking 3rd in goals per game (3.47) and 4th in shots per game (30.55). Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has struggled defensively, allowing 3.71 goals per game, which ranks 31st in the league. The Penguins will need a strong performance from their stars, including Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, to keep up with the Golden Knights' firepower.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last seven meetings dating back to January 7, 2020, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a 5-2-0 record against the Vegas Golden Knights. Pittsburgh has never lost a season series to Vegas since the Golden Knights entered the league in the 2017-18 season. However, in their most recent matchup on March 7, 2025, the Golden Knights shut out the Penguins 4-0, showcasing their defensive prowess.

Notably, Sidney Crosby has recorded points in eight of his 11 career games against Vegas, tallying 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists). Additionally, Alex Nedeljkovic has been stellar in two starts against Vegas, with a 0.75 goals-against average and a .979 save percentage, including one shutout.

Pick: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline

widget-odds-nhl-su-5398-VEG-PIT

The Vegas Golden Knights are the stronger team on paper and have been in better form recently, winning six of their last seven games before their loss to the Kings. Their offensive depth and defensive stability should prove too much for the Penguins, who have struggled to find consistency. With Vegas' ability to capitalize on Pittsburgh's defensive weaknesses, the Golden Knights are the safer pick on the moneyline.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Sidney Crosby Over 0.5 Points

widget-props-nhl-5398-2074047

Crosby has been a consistent performer against the Golden Knights, recording points in eight of 11 career games. With the Penguins relying heavily on their captain, he is a strong candidate to contribute offensively in this matchup.

2. Tomas Hertl Over 0.5 Goals

widget-props-nhl-5398-2074065

Hertl has been in excellent form for the Golden Knights, with 27 goals this season. Facing a Penguins defense that ranks 31st in goals allowed per game, Hertl has a great opportunity to find the back of the net.

3. Alex Nedeljkovic Over 30.5 Saves

In two starts against Vegas, Nedeljkovic has been outstanding, with a .979 save percentage. Given the Golden Knights' high shot volume (30.55 shots per game), Nedeljkovic is likely to face plenty of action, making this a solid prop bet.
