The Golden Knights are 9-2 in their last 11 games following a win, 9-2 in their last 11 games as a favorite and 12-2 in their last 14 overall. The Blues are 7-1 in their last 8 vs. Western Conference, 2-7 in their last 9 games as an underdog and 10-3 in their last 13 overall. The under is 5-2-1 in Golden Knights last 8 overall. The under is 4-0 in Blues last 4 overall. The favorite is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. The over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The St. Louis Blues have won five of the last eight meetings against Las Vegas, but two of those losses came in the last two meetings, both taking place in overtime. The Vegas Golden Knights entered the unexpected break playing their best hockey of the season, and they seem to be in similar form after lighting the Stars on fire for five goals. The St. Louis Blues looked sloppy at times in their opening loss to Colorado, and they haven't had much success lately in the underdog role. I'll ride the hot hand and take the Golden Knights and the cheap price.
