Since there were just five goals scored in Game 1 of this series, the oddsmaker opened the total at 6 with juice to the Over instead of 6 1/2. 
I think that's a mistake. 
This is going to be a high-scoring series just like the Blackhawks had against the Oilers. 
I respect the Golden Knights' defense. They were impressive in Las Vegas' 4-1 Game 1 win keeping the Blackhawks bottled up in their own end most of the game. The Blackhawks are playing on house money. They really shouldn't be here. So I see them playing even more loose than normal. They know they can't win a tight, defensive game. They have some outstanding offensive players. Chicago has scored 3 or more goals in 10 of its last 12 games. Expect an up-tempo game. 
The Golden Knights have scored 3 or more goals in 12 of their last 14 games. They have produced 4 or more goals in five of their last six games against much better defenses than Chicago. The Blackhawks lack the defensive depth to counter Las Vegas' outstanding line depth.
