Prediction
According to the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NHL game 10,000 times, the model is going Under on the total (6.5).
The first game of the series yielded just five total goals, and the postseason generally brings lower-scoring contests as defensive intensity picks up. The model has a simulated average of 6.3 combined goals, making the Under the value side.
