The set-up: My NHL GAME OF THE YEAR was on the Blues last night and they eventually pulled away for a 4-2 win over the over-rated Golden Knights. At -120, that was a gift in my opinion, as St. Louis came into that contest having lost three straight. I think this is another great "situational" play here, as I think the "gassed" Knights get overwhelmed by the offensive minded home side. Dallas is 12-4-1 at home, led by one of the top defenses in the entire league. I have a hard time seeing the "flat footed" Knights mustering any offensive attack tonight.

The pick: Note as well that Vegas is now a a poor 4-9 (-7.4 units) this season vs. teams with winning records, while Dallas is 7-1 (+5.9 units) when playing on two days rest. The Knights are getting too much respect here, as I believe this line could/should in fact be much larger. Lay it.
