This is a 10* on UNDER

Vegas is a huge favorite to win Game 1 of this Stanley Cup semifinals, but after watching the Islanders pull an upset yesterday we’re in no rush to lay such a massive price with the Golden Knights. Plus, Montreal is clearly a team with momentum right now. They’re on a seven-game win streak where at no point have they trailed. The Canadiens have allowed just 2.18 goals per game in this improbable playoff run as goalie Carey Price has looked like his old self with a .935 save percentage and 1.97 goals against average. Only three power play goals have been allowed by the Habs in the playoffs on 31 chances. This will be their toughest test to date, however. Vegas is much better than anyone from the all-Canadian North Division. The Golden Knights just held Colorado to eight goals in the last four games. The Over might be 5-0 in the last five meetings, but these teams haven’t faced off since pre-pandemic. The Under is 22-6-4 in Montreal’s past 32 games as a playoff underdog. Vegas scored six goals in the close out game vs. the Avs, but is on a 5-1 Under run coming off a 5+ goal game. Play on UNDER
