This is a 10* on OVER

We know that St. Louis is in first place, but these are the two best teams in the NHL’s West Division. Colorado and Vegas are set to play four straight games against one another, the first two taking place here in Sin City where the Golden Knights are always tough to beat. Vegas was shutout in its last home game, 1-0 by Anaheim, but won 3-1 last night in San Jose. Before that loss to the Ducks, they’d won their three previous home games and scored a total of 18 goals (4.5 per) in the previous four. This is a team that’s scored at least four goals in seven of their 12 games this season. Colorado has averaged 4.0 goals per game over their last five, winning four of those. Tonight is their first game in 12 days though and we wonder if they’ll be a bit “leaky” in the defensive end. Both teams are top 10 in scoring. Nathan MacKinnon will be back for the Avs, who did get three practices under their belt while being under COVID protocols. Vegas scored three times on the power play yesterday. The Over is 7-1 the last eight times Vegas has been a home underdog. Play on OVER
