Two of the best teams in the Western Conference clash and both play strong defense. Vegas is up to #15 in goals allowed after a 3-0 win over Washington. They've won four in a row allowing five total goals. Vegas is 8-0-1 in its last nine games and shares first place in the Pacific Division with Los Angeles as its 48 points are tied for the most in the Western Conference. The Vegas offense is third in the NHL in scoring at 3.44 goals per game and the Golden Knights are 16-4 against the Western Conference. Anaheim is about slowing the pace down, #12 in goals allowed, Top 10 in penalty killing, while the offense is #28 in goals scored. They come off a 4-0 win at Pittsburgh, part of a 7-2 run UNDER the total. Anaheim is 8-2-1 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, but the team is 6-13 following a victory. The Golden Knights won the first two meetings, so back the underdog visitors in a defensive duel. Play Vegas and the UNDER.
