1* FREE PLAY OVER.

This appears to be a great spot to pull the trigger on the higher number as far as the total is concerned. Boston is coming off a 4-3 loss to Anaheim, but it's picked up its scoring of late, posting 21 goals over its last 5 games. It plays with revenge here as well after a 4-1 defeat at home to the Knights back in early December. Vegas snapped a 2-game slide with a 3-1 win over San Jose. The Sharks average 3.17 GPG, and they'll have to hope to hit that average here tonight in my estimation if they have any hopes in keeping up with the revenge-minded visiting side. Let's steer clear of making a choice between these evenly matched sides, but instead make a play on the total. And everything I see points to this one being a classic "shootout." Consider the over!
