Vegas Golden Knights 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Last year, the Vegas Golden Knights suffered from a significant Stanley Cup hangover. The VGK dropped from 111 points and a Stanley Cup to 98 points and a first round playoff exit. As always, the VGK was a player in the offseason but has dropped in future market esteem. Although Vegas is in the upper half of public betting picks they are not near the top as they used to be. On the positive, the Golden Knights should regain their old edge after such a disappointing season. In the year ahead, Vegas could prove to be an excellent surprise value.

Vegas Golden Knights History
Born in 2017 as an expansion team, the Vegas Golden Knights immediately made history by making it to the 2018 Stanley Cup Final. No first-year expansion team in North American major league history had ever accomplished such a feat since the 1968 St. Louis Blues. The Blues had the advantage of playing in a division comprised of fellow expansion teams.
As the first major league sports franchise in Las Vegas, the Golden Knights faced a unique challenge. Las Vegas was shattered by the Mandalay Bay mass shooting at an outdoor concert a few days before their first-ever game. The organization dove into community outreach to form an immediate bond.
The Golden Knights have sold out almost every game they have ever played at T-Mobile Arena. Visiting teams and media members rave about the incredible enthusiasm and atmosphere at Vegas home games.
Vegas does everything in a first-class manner. Its broadcasting team is of network-level quality. Its team on the ice is a perennial Stanley Cup contender. Its management is openly doing everything in its power to win the Stanley Cup. Any other sport would be fortunate to have such a great expansion franchise.
