The set-up: Colorado won Game 1 by a score of 7-1, and then it managed a 3-2 OT victory in Game 2. The Knights aren't going to be able to sit back and hope that Colorado makes the first mistake in Game 3, because the Avs are much too disciplined. Also, they have a two-game lead. Instead, Las Vegas will be forced to push the pace of this contes from start to finish.

The pick: And it's interesting to note that the Knights have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge an OT road loss against an opponent. I think we'll see a similar final combined score as what we saw in Game 1.

This is a 10* TOTAL COACHES CORNER on the OVER Avs/Knights.
