Result: Win
The Montreal Canadiens and Vegas Golden Knights meet in the Stanley Cup Semifinals.

The Canadiens come in riding high as they swept the Winnipeg Jets to get here. As a team, the Canadiens are putting up 2.55 goals a game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 2,18 goals. on Special Teams, they are converting on 18.8 percent of their power plays and they are killing off 90.3 percent of their penalties. The offense is led by Jesperi Kotkaniemi with four goals while Eric Staal has added six helpers.

The Golden Knights dropped the first two games to Colorado before taking 4 straight to reach the semi-finals. As a team, the Golden Knights are putting up 3.08 goals a game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 2.39 goals. On Special Teams, they are converting on 14.3 percent of their power plays and killing off 71.4 percent of their penalties. The offense is led by Jonathan Marchessault with six goals while William Karlsson has added seven helpers.

When these two teams played in the regular season all but one of the six games went over the total with an average of 8.40 goals in those five games. In saying that, I like the UNDER in this one. Carey Price has been standing on his head and has been a brick wall between the pipes. The Canadiens have already kept things on the low-scoring side on five of the past seven games. Vegas hasn't been scoring a ton either and I am looking for a gritty defensive game from both sides.

Play on the UNDER.
