Vegas Golden Knights (+114) vs. Minnesota Wild (-134) | O/U 6.5 (+114/-140)

The Golden Knights and Wild will meet again after coming off a Vegas 5-1 win on Saturday. 

Vegas is now two points up in the Pacific and have three wins of their last five. 

So far, Vegas has dominated this series, winning both games by a combined score of 9-2. Not many teams have been able to contain Vegas' offense, scoring the seventh-most points and having the 12th-best goal percentage. Marc-Andre Fleury started in the crease for both games, but Filip Gustavsson should get the start. He has played 20 mins against the Golden Knights this year and stopped all eight shots.

I like the under way better than any other pick. Laurent Brossoit was stellar in the last matchup against Minnesota, saving 29-of-30, and Gustavsson should keep Vegas contained. 

Pick: Under 6.5 (-140)

Nashville Predators (+162) vs. Dallas Stars (-196) | O/U 6.5 (+116/-142)

The Stars are in one of the more exciting division races with them, Colorado, and Minnesota all within a point of each other. Goalie Jake Oettinger has been the bloodline of this team all season and is top ten in wins, GAA, and save percentage, while allowing just 2.03 goals in his last four games.

The Predators have been an underachieving offense all year as they wrap up their season without a chance for the playoffs. Ranking 27th in goals scored and 31st in Goals For Above Expected shows how much this team has had trouble generating offense this season. 

We should see Juuse Saros between the pipes for the Predators, and he could make this a close game, but the advantage goes to Dallas on each side of the puck, as they should grab the much-needed win.

Pick: Stars 60 min ML (-130)

Arizona Coyotes (+240) vs. Seattle Kraken (-300) | O/U 6.5 (-110/-110)

The Kraken's final eight games will be crucial because there is a chance the Jets overtake them for the first Wild Card and the Flames take their playoff spot. The team has struggled over the last month, going 4-5-2, and hasn’t won consecutive games in that stretch.

The Coyotes are ending their tremulous season on a down note, losing seven straight, and are in the mix to get a high draft pick.

Seattle has a great schedule toward the end of the season. They play Arizona three times, then Chicago and Vancouver, before ending the season with two against Vegas. They will want to secure a playoff before those last two games, and it starts tonight.

Pick: Kraken -1.5 (-118)
