Bet Friday Stanley Cup Hockey: Thiessen returns, picks Vegas at Montreal, with the Canadiens seeking upset win

Montreal comes home with a chance to move halfway to a Stanley Cup Finals appearance

How often do you see an NHL Playoff series that looks dead even, despite the fact that on paper it seems like one team should be much better.

That could be the case here with the Montreal Canadiens, although at this point no one would say they are too much of an underdog.

The Canadiens come home with a chance to go up 2-1 against a very good Vegas side. The Golden Knights are only in their fourth season, and this is their third trip to the Conference Finals/semifinals.

A win for either tonight could tilt the balance, so expect another tough game.
