The set-up: Chicago looked pretty good in getting past the Oilers in the first round, but its inability to slow down the Knights on the defensive end has been the difference in why they're now down 0-2 in this first round playoff series. The Blackhawks can score with the best of them, but if they don't quickly find some way to really slow the pace of this series down and wear out Las Vegas, they're going to be out of this tournament shortly.

The pick: And so that's what I'm expecting in Game 3, a much less frenetic pace. Instead I look for Chicago to body up on Vegas whenever possible and to try and now turn this series as "dirty" as possible. Additionally note that the Knights have seen the total go under in 11 of their last 17 after back-to-back overs in which they've scored 12 or more goals in. This one has "under" written all over it in my opinion.

This is a 9* SUPER TOTAL on the UNDER Knights/Hawks.
