T.M. Selection: Penguins puck-line +1.5

Pittsburgh is rested here and their 4-1 loss at Colorado was not a final score that was indicative of the game and how it played out. That was a 1-1 game with under 5 minutes to go when things got crazy. The Penguins entered that game off 2 straight 1-goal losses and a win. The point being that the Penguins could easily be on a 4-game run in which having the +1.5 goals with Pittsburgh would have netted one a 4-0 record in the betting markets. Vegas is off a 5-2 win but that was only the 8th time last 21 games that the Golden Knights have won by 2 or more goals. Vegas has a revenge game with the division rival Kings on deck and has less rest than the Penguins coming into this game. It sets it up well for an upset and certainly plenty of puck-line value at +1.5 goals.

T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Pittsburgh OR 4-3 Vegas - could even be decided in OT or SO - take +1.5 goals
