10* TOTAL 'COACH'S CORNER!' (UNLOAD w/ CONFIDENCE!)
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Dallas,
Total: 5.00 | 123.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: Dallas will be fighting tooth and nail here as it looks to once again tie up the Stanley Cup Final. Dallas looked great in its Game 1 victory, as it was able to slow down this high-powered Lightning offense and if it has any hopes of tying up this series, clearly it'll have to duplicate that effort here. Anton Khudobin and Andrei Vasilevski each has the ability to take over a game and the numbers/trends support that theory in Game 3.

The pick: As note that Tampa has seen the total go "under" the number in eight of its last 12 after scoring five or more goals in a three goals or larger victory in its last outing, while Dallas has seen the total go "under" in 12 of its last 19 after back-to-back losses and in which it let in five or more goals in its most recent setback. The situation and the numbers both point to the "under" as the correct call here.

This is a 10* TOTAL COACH'S CORNER on the UNDER Bolts/Stars.
