Puck line: Vegas -1.5Money line: Florida (+118), Vegas (-140)Total: 5.5 Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer: First period over 1.5 goals (+120) Look, it is going to be a hyped environment, and I think all of that excitement leads to goals in the first period.
Keep this in mind, too, the Vegas Golden Knights have gone over in the first in 13 of 17 games in the postseason, 41 first period goals have been scored.
A lot of action for these Golden Knights, and I think it will lead to the over in Game 1. Anita Marks, host of ESPN Bet: Under 5.5 goals These two teams don't know each other that well, and I believe they're going to play conservatively at first.
Both goaltenders have been outstanding this postseason, and I expect that to continue. Wyshynski: Aleksander Barkov over 2.5 shots (-115) The Panthers captain went over this total in Game 1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes, both on the road.
