The Vegas Golden Knights aim to even things up in this season’s NHL Stanley Cup Finals this Monday night in a Game 4 showdown against the Washington Capitals. The puck is set to drop at 8 p.m. at Capital One Arena with Washington listed as a -130 home favorite on Elite-Rated VietBet’s betting line. The total has been set at 5.5 with NBC carrying the national broadcast.

Vegas posted a 12-3 record through its first 15 playoff games in franchise history before taking the early 1-0 series lead in the NHL Finals with a 6-4 victory in Game 1 as a -152 home favorite. It now heads into Game 4 trailing two games the one with back-to-back losses in the last two contests. The total stayed UNDER VietBet’s 5.5-goal line in a 3-1 loss on Saturday as +116 road underdogs and it has stayed UNDER in five of the Golden Knights’ last seven games.

Veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is a big reason why Vegas is playing for a NHL title in its first season in the league with a stellar 1.95 goals-against average through 18 postseason games. However, he will need to tighten things up on Monday night. The Golden Knights will also need a better effort from players such as Jonathan Marchessault (8 goals) and William Karlsson (7 goals) as the team’s top two goal scorers in the playoffs.

The Capitals’ run to their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1998 to a bit longer with a pair of six-game victories against Columbus and Pittsburgh before needing the full seven games to get past Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference Finals. Along the way, Washington is just 5-5 on its home ice in the playoffs with the total staying UNDER or ending as a PUSH in its last four games at home.

The current NHL hockey betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have been moving around a bit since the opening numbers.

Vegas Golden Knights  (+115)
Washington Capitals    (-125)

Over 5.5 goals   (+115)
Under 5.5 goals (-125)

The duo of Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov have done most of the scoring for Washington in the playoffs with a combined 26 goals through 22 games. They each added a goal to this total in Saturday’s Game 3. The biggest reason why the Capitals have the early lead in this championship series has been the play of goalie Braden Holtby in the last two games. He has been solid for much of the postseason with a GAA of 2.13.

I like the Golden Knights’ chances to even this series at two games apiece, but my ‘best bet’ pick for Game 4 is the UNDER on Elite-rated VietBet’s 5.5-goal total line.
