For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Golden Knights to cover. Even if the Red Wings secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Golden Knights should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
