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

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
