T.M. Selection: Coyotes PUCK-LINE (8*).

Game 1 of this series was in fact very evenly matched, but the Avs managed to score three goals mid-way through the third period to seal the deal. Arizona got by Nashville in five games in its opening round, and I think it has a very legitimate shot at bouncing back here. The Avs have been red hot since the re-start, but I believe they'll have their hands full with this Coyotes team, which features plenty of veteran talent that's been here and done that. In this evenly matched contest, which I think gets decided late, I'll lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Yotes.
