Edmonton Oilers @ Vegas Golden Knights (8:30PM CST)
My Pick: Vegas Golden Knights ML (-132)

A loss for Vegas tonight would mean traveling into Edmonton down 0-2 in the series, and I think the Golden Knights will fight hard to prevent that from happening. In the past, they've always come through when finding themselves in this spot. They're 3-0 SU (100.0%) and 3-0 against the puck line (100.0%) in conference playoff games as a home favorite when it's the second game of a series and they lost their previous game. As for Edmonton, only once in conference playoff games have they been a road underdog in the second game of a series after winning their previous game. That was last season against the Stars and they both lost that game and failed to cover the puck line in it. In general, Western Conference teams playing divisional opponents in non-daytime playoff games are 11-5 SU (68.8%) when it's the second game of a series and they lost their previous game as a home favorite - those teams have gone 10-3 SU (76.9%) since the 2009 season. Teams in that spot are also 4-0 SU (100.0%) and 4-0 against the puck line (100.0%) when the total is greater than 6, and 4-0 SU (100.0%) and 4-0 against the puck line (100.0%) when games are played in the month of May. According to the percentages found inside the Game Center, the Golden Knights are going to be a popular pick tonight. However, I haven't really seen any confirmation of that in terms of line movement. I think we could very likely see Vegas cover the puck line here, but at this price I'm taking them on the moneyline. Going into Edmonton winless in this series would mean a very large uphill battle for Vegas they want to remain in the playoffs.
