Expect a strong effort from Las Vegas. Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy ripped his team after they were flat in a 3-2 road loss to the Capitals two days ago. That was the first game Las Vegas had its players back from the Winter Olympics. Now the Golden Knights are at full strength, while the Penguins are minus injured star Sidney Crosby. Excluding a 6-4 win against the Kings in their first game back from the Winter Olympics when they were missing all five of their Olympic participants, the Golden Knights have given up an average of only two goals per game during their last three games. Pittsburgh has yielded only five goals in regulation during its last three games. Don't look for the Penguins to push pace after they played yesterday and lost, 3-2, to the Rangers in a shootout. This is an early start, too. A plus for the UNDER. Take the Golden Knights and the UNDER.

The past three meetings have gone UNDER, including Vegas' 4-0 win over the Penguins on Friday. The Golden Knights had allowed only two goals in three games before Los Angeles busted out with six goals in a 6-5 win over Vegas on Sunday. The Golden Knights are 5-0 UNDER after scoring at least five goals their previous game and Pittsburgh is 6-0-1 UNDER following a win. The Penguins come off a 3-1 victory over Minnesota for their fourth UNDER in five games. Pittburgh is 7-0-1 UNDER its past eight games against Western Conference teams and the Knights are 8-0-1 UNDER their past nine versus the Metropolitan Division. The UNDER is 6-0-1 when the Penguins allowed two or fewer goals their previous game. Take the UNDER.
