They’re flying high and ready for more!

Vegas Golden Knights

Golden Knights (38-19-7) @ Red Wings (31-28-6)

Mar 16, 2025 | 12:00 PM ET | Little Caesars Arena

Detroit Red Wings
Golden Knights, Moneyline (-160): A

Mark Stone’s energizing return to the Vegas lineup has fueled to a great run of form despite dropping three of their last four, while the Red Wings struggle to any wins in March. Historically, the Golden Knights have fared well against Detroit’s style of play, using their depth and speed to dominate across the neutral zone. Although the Red Wings’ Dylan Larkin remains a constant threat on offense, Vegas appears to hold a decisive edge, and an A-rated bet on them at -160 offers a respectable reward for bettors who back the stronger team.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6.5, (+115) - A-

Jack Eichel returns to the ice ready to build on the Vegas Golden Knights’ momentum, fueled by sharp offensive displays and timely blue-line support. Meanwhile, the Detroit Red Wings come in with only one win in March, struggling to find scoring depth as one of their top contributors remains sidelined with a lower-body injury. In their recent meetings with Central Division opponents, the Golden Knights have shown they can pile up goals in bunches, especially against teams that prefer an up-tempo style. Given Vegas’s scoring prowess and Detroit’s inconsistent goaltending of late, expect plenty of net-crashing action to push this total above the 6.5 mark. This Over pick earns an A- rating, offering a strong potential payout for those anticipating fireworks in this midday showdown. Citations: Team rosters, injury reports, performance logs.

Puckline Pick: Vegas Golden Knights, -1.5 (-158) - A-

Mark Stone and the Golden Knights enter this matchup with amazing form since February 6th, while the Red Wings have stumbled in recent outings and could feel the absence of a key forward. Detroit’s roster adjustments may further complicate their attack, especially given Vegas’s history of stifling the Red Wings on home ice. Specifically, the Knights appear healthy in net and among their top scorers, an advantage that has often proved decisive against Eastern Conference contenders. Bettors taking the puckline can anticipate both a solid chance at success and a respectable return if it hits. Knights slash again: Fortune favors the bold punter. Citations: ESPN rosters
