A pair of strong defensive teams clash in this one. Vegas is on the road, playing its sixth game in 10 days. Vegas has allowed just 14 goals in its last nine contests, off a 2-1 loss at St. Louis last night. Chicago is #11 in the NHL in goals allowed, off a 5-2 win over the Rangers. The Blackhawks allowed just 25 shots and scored three unanswered goals in the third period. Chicago is 9-1-1 UNDER the total after allowing two or fewer goals the previous game, plus 170-133 UNDER at home against teams averaging 2.85 goals or more. All of which means look for more defense than offense. Back the UNDER.
