Vegas Puck Line (-1.5) vs Montreal +121 DraftKings
-Vegas has covered the puck line in 3 of its last 4 home playoff games.
-Vegas dominated Colorado in all but one of the 6 games in the series.
-Montreal has played fantastic over the last 7 games of the playoffs, and with Carey Price in net they have a chance to win on any given night. However, Vegas has been rolling themselves lately. The home ice advantage will give Vegas a one or two goal lead late in the game, with the chance of an empty net goal. Riding the Knights in Game 1.
