I had the UNDER in Seattle's game against Calgary on Sunday, and it lost, with the Kraken winning 6-1. Seattle scored six goals in both games against Calgary this season, and lost 3-1 in its only other game at Edmonton. In total, 14 of the 18 goals in Seattle's three games came against one of the league's weakest teams, but it'll be much tougher sledding vs. Vegas. Last season Seattle scored 2.76 goals a game, 28th of 32 teams, and its games averaged 5.96 total goals against a league average of 6.25. Early results carry some noise, but 82 games of history say more than three. Vegas scored 3.23 a game last season and has scored 11 in three this year, so the Golden Knights are the side that argues for goals. Seattle's offense has to match them, and the only team it has done that against this season is Calgary. Take this game to stay UNDER the total.
