If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Senators to cover. Even in the event of a Golden Knights victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Senators should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
