The set-up: There are two super hungry teams. The Jets come in having lost three straight. Winnipeg's grip on the No. 1 spot in the Central is now down to a single game over Nashville. The Jets have been lacking a scoring punch over the last month, but Winnipeg is finally getting healthier after it was hit hard by a flu bug. The Knights also come in hungry for a win. Vegas has lost nine of its last 12. The Knights are in the sixth spot in the West, but a lack of offense has also been a concern for Las Vegas since the All Star break.

The pick: With both teams looking to break slumps and out to push the pace, this one definitely sets up as more of a "high scoring shootout" than a slower-paced defensive affair in my opinion. But take it for what you will as well, but Winnipeg has seen the total go "over" the number in 10 of its last 14 following a divisional contest, while Vegas has seen the total go "over" in nine of 13 already this season in all home games there the total is set at six or higher. This number is low, play the "over."

10* play
