VEGAS @ MONTREAL | 06/24 | 8:00 PM EDT
VEGAS -145
ANALYSIS: The Golden Knights have a +101 shot differential while the Montreal Canadiens have a -30 shot differential this postseason. Few NHL teams make the Stanley Cup Finals when allowing more goals (165) than goals scored (158) during the regular season. On the flip side, Vegas scored 190 and allowed 122. The Golden Knights have won the face-off battle in three straight and already won in Montreal. Las Vegas is 13-4 when playing with one day rest off a loss. Montreal is 10-14 when playing with one day of rest off a win.

KANSAS CITY @ N.Y. YANKEES | 06/24 | 1:05 PM EDT
N.Y. YANKEES -180
ANALYSIS: Don't love this price, but it's the first game on the schedule and I'll be watching it so need to take a side to make it interesting. I've backed the Yankees in both games of this series so far. They should have won the opener but lost and probably should have lost Wednesday but won. Yanks starter Jameson Taillon (1-4, 5.59) has pretty bad numbers overall but will be on extra rest and has a 3.29 ERA at home. The Royals' Brad Keller (6-7, 6.34) is 0-3 with a 9.39 ERA in his past five, allowing at least five runs in each. KC is 3-9 in its past 12 after a loss.

VEGAS @ MONTREAL | 06/24 | 8:00 PM EDT
MONTREAL +125
ANALYSIS: I will end this series believing that Vegas is the more talented team, but perhaps Montreal is a team of destiny. This deep into the playoffs, you have to give me a reason NOT to back the home team and there simply isn't one here. The Canadiens' penalty kill has been historically good all postseason, and the Knights' forwards just aren't scoring. This is the first time in 11 best-of-7 all-time matchups that the Golden Knights have faced a 3-2 series deficit. They are 2-3 when facing elimination in their short history. Habs goalie Carey Price owns a career record of 7-5 in elimination games. Montreal reaches its first Cup Final since 1993.
