Analysis

This is a 10* WESTERN CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Wild/Knights. All four games have gone OVER the number, but I finally anticipate these sides to play a very tight, and ultimately lower-scoring battle here in Game 5. The Knights won 4-3 in OT in Game 4, after losing Game 3 by a score of 5-2. Note, though, that Minnesota has seen the total dip below the posted number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a home loss as an underdog vs. an opponent. These teams played three times in the regular season, and two of those three games stayed well UNDER the number. Expect these defensive-minded clubs to finally play to a lower-scoring outcome here in this all-important Game 5. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP
