Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction & Picks, November 3, 2026

The Vegas Golden Knights are coming off a solid stretch, winning 5 of their last 10 games. They've been pretty good at blocking shots, stopping an average of 13.9 per game, which is right around what most teams do. Plus, their physical play is strong, landing 22 hits a game. The Penguins, on the other hand, have only managed to win 3 of their last 10, and their hitting numbers are lower than the league average. Both teams are close in talent, making this matchup feel like a toss-up. The biggest risk here is that the Penguins are playing at home and might have a little boost from their fans. Still, the Golden Knights seem to have the slight advantage overall, and they could come away with the win.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vegas Golden Knights: Under 6.5 Total Goals (+100)

The Penguins are struggling, having only won 3 of their last 10 games, which makes them a bit unpredictable. They don't land as many hits compared to the league average, and they give up quite a few shots. On the other hand, the Golden Knights are doing better, winning 5 of their last 10, and they play a strong defensive game, blocking more shots than the league average. With both teams showing a tendency to play tight games, betting on fewer than 6.5 total goals makes sense here. The numbers suggest a combined score around 5.9, so this could be a low-scoring matchup. Just keep in mind that the Penguins' inconsistency could lead to surprises, but overall, this bet feels solid.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vegas Golden Knights: Pittsburgh Penguins 3-Way Moneyline (+140)

The Pittsburgh Penguins have struggled lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, but they are at home and that can make a difference. They have a good chance to surprise the Vegas Golden Knights, especially since the Penguins block almost as many shots as the league average. This shows they can defend well when needed. The Golden Knights have won 5 of their last 10 games, which makes this matchup pretty close. The risk here is that the Penguins are not hitting as much as other teams, landing only 11.6 hits per game compared to the average of 22.1. Still, with the Penguins sitting at +140 odds, they could pull off an upset at home.
