My selection is on the 'under' between Vegas and Colorado at 8 pm et on Wednesday.
The Avalanche are coming off an incredibly high-scoring series against the Wild and ride a two-game 'over' streak into Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Golden Knights. Of note, Colorado has posted just two 'over' streaks lasting more than two games dating back to January 21st. Meanwhile, Vegas checks in off consecutive 'under' results. It's worth mentioning that 'unders' have come in bunches for the Knights in recent weeks and months as they have reeled off at least three straight 'under' results on four different occasions since February 27th. The last time these two teams matched up on April 11th right here in Denver, they produced just four goals in regulation time in a 3-2 Knights overtime victory. Take the under (8*).
