This is a 10* WEST-CONF TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER Nucks/Knights Game 2.

I had a play on the "under" in Game 1 and the Knights would hold on for the 5-0 victory. While the Game 1 total did stay below the posted number, I believe that Game 2 is going to fly WELL OVER the posted number.

And that's because I definitely don't expect the Canucks to get shut-out again here. Clearly Vancouver's defense is a mess right now, but I think its top two scoring lines are much too talented to be held off the score sheet in consecutive contests.

And with Vancouver "pushing the pace" to try and equalize the series, it's going to be more suscepitble to giving up goals on the backend to the opportunistic Knights.

Finally I'll point out that the Canucks have seen the total fly OVER the number in 11 of their last 17 after getting shutout and allowing five or more goals in their previous outing.

All signs point to these offenses being the main focal point of Game 2.

The play is the OVER!

Good luck, NP
