Columbus focuses on defense first for this coaching staff at #11 in goals allowed, while the offense has sunk to #28 in goals scored, #31 on the power play. The offense has tallied five total goals the last three games, though they come off a 2-1 win over Dallas. Columbus is on a 7-1 run UNDER the total, as well as 15-5 UNDER against the Pacific Division. First-place Vegas can play any style, ranked sixth in goals allowed. Vegas has been a machine at home with a league-best 18-2-2 record at the T-Mobile Arena where they play their best defense, allowing four goals their last three home games. Vegas is on a 9-4 run UNDER the total and this shapes up as a defensive battle. Take this one to finish UNDER.
