Stephen Nover's NHL April Total of the Month
(NHL) Vegas vs. San Jose, 04/23/2019 6:00 PM, Score: 4 - 5
Total: 5.50 | 110.00 Under
Result: Win
I don't care that the last game in this series was won by San Jose, 2-1, in double overtime Sunday. There is no way you can hang less than a 6 on a total when these two teams meet even with this being the pivotal Game 7.

There have been at least seven combined goals in each of the three games played at San Jose during the series. The Over has cashed six of the last eight times the two teams have met.

The Golden Knights fired 59 shots in that Game 6 loss. Martin Jones played well, but he remains the shakiest goalie in the playoffs. The Golden Knights' second line of Max Pacioretty, Paul Stastny and Mark Stone is due for a big game after not scoring in the last two games. They had accounted for 28 points during the first four games of the series.

The Sharks are the No. 2 scoring team in the NHL. They are averaging 3.7 goals during their last seven home games.
