Chris’ Pick
I’m backing the under here. I just think this has goaltending battle written all over it, as these are two of the top defensive teams in the Western Conference and two teams that tend to find each other in the postseason more often than not. I look for that same kind of intensity here and for a first to 3 wins kind of game. Give me the under in this one.
