Vegas at Boston

A pair of strong defensive teams clash here. Vegas plays excellent defense for coach Gerard Gallant, #11 in the league goals allowed and fifth in penalty killing. However, the offense is still struggling at #29 in goals scored and #20 on the power play. Vegas is on a 9-4 run UNDER the total, as well as 19-10-2 UNDER on the road. They played last night and won't want to go uptempo against a Boston squad that is second in the NHL in goals allowed. The Bruins also played last night and have allowed two goals or less in seven of their last nine contests. Boston is on an 8-1 run UNDER the total, and this shapes up as another defensive duel. Play the UNDER in this one.
