ASA NHL TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER: Vegas Golden Knights versus Vancouver Canucks, Sunday at 10:30 PM ET

We need 6 goals here and the Golden Knights have seen 5 of their 8 games in the bubble in Edmonton total 7 or more goals. The Canucks have seen 5 of their last 7 games total 7 or more goals. Not surprisingly given the above, our computer math model is forecasting a 4-3 game here. Vegas just continues to pile up goals and has scored at least 3 goals in all but 2 of its 8 games in the bubble. The Canucks have scored at least 3 goals in all but 2 of their 9 games in the bubble. There is so much talent in terms of scorers in this series and we give the experience edge to Vegas of course but the young and speedy talent of Vancouver is going to be a handful for the Knights to deal with. In other words, both teams will be successful in testing the other teams' goalie early and often in this contest. Look for an exciting game with a lot of great looks at the net and potential for breakaways with all the speed on the ice for this one and how these teams match up. This one is likely to play out similar to Game 1 of the other 2nd round match-up in the West and that one saw the Stars and Avalanche combine for 8 goals last night.
