Vegas has no choice but to come out with urgency and physicality, two things it didn't do on Monday as the Golden Knights were outclassed in every way in a 3-0 loss. The Knights have gone OVER four of six at home and they have four straight OVERS against teams that allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. Vegas has also gone OVER four in a row after scoring two or fewer goals. The Knights are 8-2-1 OVER their past 11 playoff games as favorites of -110 to -150. They will need to put more pressure on Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner, who despite his Game 4 performance, still has a 3.95 goals-against average and an .857 save percentage in this year's playoffs. He had allowed 15 goals his previous three starts. The Oilers are in a letdown spot knowing they still have a home game left. Take the Golden Knights to win, and bet this game to sail OVER the total.
