The set-up: The Knights made a coaching change and then won 4-2 in Ottawa. That game was a "push" as far as the total was concerned. The Habs come in off a 4-1 win over Philadelphia, that game also stayed "under" the number. The Habs are going to have their hands full with a Knights offense which averages 3.04 GPG on the road this season, but they'll have their opportunities as well vs. a defense which allows 3.02. Montreal averages 3.02 GPG at home and it allows 3.10. Add up these numbers any way you want, but it clearly points to this total as being too low today in my opinion.

The pick: Note as well that LV has seen the total go over the number in seven of its last ten after a two-game unbeaten streak and coming off a victory of two goals or more, while Montreal has seen the total fly over the number in eight of its last 11 home games following a victory of three goals or more. All things considered, I believe this number is low.

10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the OVER Knights/Habs.
