Sogaard is struggling in goal this season as he has posted a 3.27 goals against average Schmid has given up 2.05 goals a game. Ottawa is allowing just 1.67 goals in their previous three games while New Jersey is giving up three goals in their last four games. The under is 25-8-2 in the Senators' last 35 games against Metropolitan Division. Six of the last eight Devils games have gone under.

Play on the UNDER.

Edmonton is a huge favorite and they should be. They have the best offense in the league, are on a five-game winning streak, and are 9-2 over their last 11 games. Vegas is also playing very well. They are 8-2-0 over their last 10 and have won three in a row themselves. Edmonton has won the last three between the two teams. Vegas netminder Quick has been playing well for Vegas since they acquired him in a trade. In his career against Edmonton, he is 24-10-6 with a 2.07 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Edmonton won the last game 4-3 in overtime back in November but Quick will make a difference in this game. Take Vegas at a juicy +money number.

Defense and goaltending will be key in this matchup. Vancouver is allowing 2.25 goals in their last four games while Dallas is giving up 4.2 goals in their last five games. The Canucks have won five in a row against the Stars and eight of their last 10 overall. The Canucks are playing really well at the moment and have played well against Dallas. It is hard to pass on Vancouver at this nice plus-money price.

The road team has won 17 of the last 22 games between Anaheim and St. Louis. The Ducks have struggled on both ends of the ice all season as they rank last in the league in GAA and second to last in goals per game. The Ducks have lost three in a row and have been outscored 10-4 in those games. Anaheim is at home but is just 1-5 on this homestand and 2-4-2 in their eight games at home in March. St. Louis has won their last three games on the road, and they have already beaten Anaheim twice this season. The Blues are 9-1 in the last 10 games against Anaheim. The Blues need this one as they push for the playoffs.

Play on St. Louis.

UConn has been outstanding so far in this tournament. They have easily won and covered all three games so far.  Gonzaga has won all three games but is just 1-2 ATS. Drew Timme is Gonzaga's best player, but the Huskies have the height to battle Timme in the paint. They can throw Big East Player of the Year Adama Sanogo, 7'2 Donovan Clingan, and 6'8 Alex Karaban at him in an effort to slow him down. Gonzaga has been getting off to slow starts and finding a way to come back and win. That will be more difficult against a UConn team that can control the glass and play tough defense.  The Huskies have won all 15 of their non-conference games by double digits this season. UConn has covered the spread in eight of its last nine games and is 12-1 in its last 13 games as a favorite. As well as Timme has been playing, I think he will struggle against the UCONN big men in the paint.

Kansas State was 23-12 ATS this season, 7-2 ATS in their last nine, and 3-0 ATS in the tournament. Florida Atlantic was 23-11-1 ATS this season, 7-3 ATS in their last ten, and 2-1 ATS in the tournament. Kansas State can score from both the inside and outside. They were able to score 41 points in the paint and hit 11 three-pointers in their overtime win over MSU. During the tourney, KState is shooting 55% from the field while FAU is shooting closer to 40%. Neither team was expected to be here and KSU's  Markquis Nowell is having one of those tourneys you dream of.  K State will move on to the final four and cover a small number.
