T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights - ML

I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. Game one of the NHL playoffs is always special. It feels like a whole different game out there. The fans are that much crazier, the drive and determination of the playoffs reach new heights, and everyone is chasing one and one intention only. To win the cup. Vegas has everything they need to win their first cup of all time. Their goalies are starting to get healthy and they've got an excellent group of skaters. The veteran presence of Phil Kessel will really help them during these playoffs. Vegas has been a team that I've watched all season long. As a believer in the Kings this year, they were one of the Kings' biggest rivals this season. VGK's record speaks for itself. They were very good throughout this season, especially after the all-star break. With the home crowd behind them in what should be a rockin' T-Mobile Arena, I've got the Golden Knights taking Game 1 of this seven game series.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 VGK.

Line: -145
