Max Pacioretty trade shortens Golden Knights’ odds across board

The already short odds on the Golden Knights shrank across the board at Las Vegas sports books after Sunday’s trade with the Montreal Canadiens for high-scoring left wing Max Pacioretty.

The Knights moved from 12-1 odds to 10-1 at the Westgate sports book to win the 2019 Stanley Cup and from 18-1 to 13-1 at Caesars Entertainment sports book.

Vegas also went from 6-1 odds to 5-1 to win the Western Conference at the Westgate, which increased their price to make the playoffs to minus 330 from minus 250.

“This is a very positive trade for the Knights,” Westgate sports book manager Ed Salmons said.
