The total during this series has gone from a high of 6 1/2 down to 5 1/2 with juice at some books for this Game 5 matchup.
Perhaps 6 1/2 was a stopping point. But even though the last two games have fallen well short of going Over, I still believe Over is the way to go with these two teams especially now where 5 1/2's were still available.
I don't see 35-year-old Corey Crawford finding the fountain of youth and stringing together two straight monster performances. The Golden Knights played well in Game 4 and fired 49 shots on Crawford. He stopped 48 of them. Now two days later, Crawford has to stand tall again against a peaking Golden Knights team and a leaky, mistake-prone defense.
Golden Knights Coach Pete DeBoer said he wasn't worried about his team's offense. I'm not either. The Golden Knights will get their share of goals. They could come close to exceeding this total just by themselves.
The Blackhawks, with their style of favoring speed over physical play, is built for higher-scoring games. Chicago has produced 3 or more goals in seven of its last nine games.
