At 8:10 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Vegas Golden Knights (2). THE SITUATION: Washington (61-31-8) reached the Stanley Cup Playoff Finals with a 4-0 win in Tampa Bay in the seventh game of that series last Wednesday. Vegas (63-26-5) had earned their spot in the Finals last Saturday with their 2-1 win in Winnipeg that ended that series on five games.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: The Capitals defense along with goaltender Braden Holtby is clicking on all cylinders right now after shutting out a potent Lightning attack in the final two games of the Eastern Conference Finals. Washington has then seen the Under go 3-1-2 in their last 6 games after a win — and they have also played 16 of their last 24 road games Under the Total after a win by at least three goals. The Capitals stay on the road where the Under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games. And in their last 24 opening games to a new playoff series, the game finished Under the Total 17 times. Vegas has seen the Under go 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a victory. The Under is also 8-3-1 in their last 12 games after a game where they did not score more than two goals. And in their last 19 games after not allowing more than two goals in their last contest, the Under is 12-5-2 for the Golden Knights.
FINAL TAKE: With Washington and Vegas having five days and nine days off since last taking the ice, expect both offensive attacks to be shaking off some rust. 25* NHL NBC-TV Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Vegas Golden Knights (2).

At 8:15 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (53) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (54). THE SITUATION: Washington (61-32-7) forced a climactic Game Seven on Monday with their 3-0 shutout victory over the Lightning. This series returns to Tampa Bay (64-29-7) for Game Seven to determine the Eastern Conference champion.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: There are historical angles that provide evidence how teams respond to situations similar to the circumstances facing the two teams in question but there are also team trends that offer specific support regarding how those particular teams have responded in the past. With Washington and Tampa Bay, we have a good sample size of recent evidence suggesting a team personality regarding how they should respond tonight. The Lightning have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after getting shutout — and they have also played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total when avenging an upset loss to their opponent. Furthermore, Tampa Bay has played 4 straight games Under the Total after suffering a loss by at least three goals. Additionally, the Lightning have played 20 of their last 28 playoff games Under the Total when tied in a playoff series. And in their last 7 Game Sevens in the NHL Playoffs, Tampa Bay has played all 7 games Under the Total. Washington has played 8 of their last 9 Game Sevens Under the Total. Furthermore, the Capitals have played 22 of their last 27 games Under the Total when attempting to closeout a playoff series — and this includes them playing six of their last seven closeout games Under the Total. Lastly, the Under is 3-1-1 in Washington’s last 5 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice.
FINAL TAKE: The oddsmakers have finally moved the Total off of 6 down to 5.5 for this contest. Despite that move, the Under remains a strong play. 25* NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Game Seven O/U Special Feature with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (53) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (54).

At 8:10 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (9) and the Washington Nationals (10). THE SITUATION: Tampa Bay (64-28-3) has won the last three games in this series on Saturday with their 3-2 victory. Washington (60-32-7) returns home looking to stave off elimination.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Capitals have played 11 of their last 13 games Under the Total when facing playoff elimination — they have plenty of experience in this situation. Washington has only scored two goals in each of their last three games — and they have seen the Under go 7-2-2 in their last 11 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. The Capitals have been frustrated by Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy who has a .943 save percentage in these last three games. Washington returns home where the Under is 9-3-4 in their last 16 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. The Capitals have also played 10 of their last 12 home games Under the Total with the Total set at 6. Tampa Bay has scored at least three goals in each of these last three games — but they have then played 31 of their last 47 games Under the Total after scoring at least three goals in three straight games. The Lightning have also played 25 of their last 39 road games Under the Total after scoring at least three goals in three straight games. Additionally, the Under is 2-0-2 in Tampa Bay’s last 4 games after a victory. Lastly, the Lightning have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when attempting to close out a playoff series.
FINAL TAKE: The Lightning are committing themselves to block shots to help protect a confident Vasilevskiy who has definitely found the form he enjoyed in the first-half of this season. The Caps have become a defensive-first team this year who should play tight but controlled in this potential elimination game. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (9) and the Washington Nationals (10).

At 3:10 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Vegas Golden Knights (7) and the Winnipeg Jets (8). THE SITUATION: Vegas (54-30-7) seized a 3-1 lead in this series on Friday with their 3-2 victory over the Jets. This series returns to Winnipeg (61-26-11) for Game Five.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Both these teams are 8-1 if their score first in these playoffs — so not surrendering the first goal will be a priority for both teams. The Jets have only scored five goals in their last three games as goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has stymied them with a 1.67 Goals-Against-Average and a .951 save percentage in the last three games of this series which the Golden Knights have won. Winnipeg has played 13 of their last 19 games Under the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. And while the Jets lost Game Three of this series by a 4-3 score, they have then played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total when attempting to avenge two straight loss to their opponent who scored at least three goals in both those victories. Winnipeg returns home where they are allowing only 2.25 Goals-Per-Game in eight postseason games — and the Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games at home against teams with a winning record on the road. Vegas has seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games following a win — and they have played 15 of their last 22 road games Under the Total after playing a game that finished Under the Total. The Golden Knights are allowing only 2.0 Goals-Per-Game in their seven playoff games away from home. The Under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games on the road. And in their last 6 playoff games when leading in the series, Vegas has played 5 of these games Under the Total.
CONCLUSION: Winnipeg has made too many mistakes which have created scoring opportunities for Vegas. The Golden Knights should remain patient this afternoon while the Jets play cautiously to stop their miscues. 25* NHL Conference Finals NBC-TV Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Vegas Golden Knights (7) and the Winnipeg Jets (8).

At 7:10 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). THE SITUATION: Washington (56-30-7) has the opportunity to finally defeat the Penguins in the playoffs after seizing a 3-2 lead in this series on Saturday with their 6-3 victory. The two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions return home to Pittsburgh where to stave off elimination.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Pittsburgh (54-33-6) has lost three of their last four games — but they have won their last four games when facing the possibility of playoff elimination. Expect goalie Matt Murray and this entire Penguins team to play very tough — particularly on defense. Pittsburgh has played 3 of their last 4 games Under the Total when trailing in the playoffs. Additionally, the Under is 6-1-1 in the Penguins’ last 8 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. Pittsburgh has also played 5 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least six goals in their last contest. Washington has played a decisive 21 of their last 26 games Under the Total when having the possibility to close out a playoff series — and this includes playing five of these last six situations Under the Total. The Capitals have also played 6 of their last 9 games Under the Total when leading in a playoffs series. The team may be without Nicklas Backstrom who is a game-time decision tonight as he deals with an upper-body injury. Backstrom is tied for second on the team with 13 points in these playoffs with three goals and ten assists playing mostly with Alex Ovechkin. Ovechkin has already lost Tom Wilson on his line due to his three-game suspension that concludes tonight — so more disruption to that chemistry will not help the Capitals offensive designs. Furthermore, Washington has allowed three goals in the last three games of this series — and they have then played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total after allowing at least three goals in three straight games.
CONCLUSION: Expect a tight, low-scoring game. 25* NHL 2nd Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 3:10 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Boston Bruins (63) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (64). THE SITUATION: Tampa Bay (61-25-3) has won three straight games in this series to seize a commanding 3-1 lead with their 4-3 victory over the Bruins on Friday. They return home with the opportunity to close out this series.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: Expect the Bruins (58-26-9) to tighten things up on defense as they look to grind out a low-scoring victory and extend this series back to Boston. Boston has played 10 of the lsat 15 games Under the Total after a loss by just one goal. Boston has also played 19 of their last 28 games Under the Total after allowing at least four goals in their last game. Additionally, the Bruins have played 14 of their last 17 road gams Under the Total after a loss to an Atlantic Division rival. Now Boston goes back on the road where they have played 10 of their last 14 games with the Total set at 6 or higher. The Under is also 8-3-1 in the Bruins’ last 12 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on home ice. Boston has also played 14 of their last 18 road games Under the Total against Atlantic Division foes. Tampa Bay (61-25-3) has played 12 of their last 17 Game Fives in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Under the Total — and this includes them playing four of their last five games Under the Total when up 3-1 in the series. The Lightning have also played 13 of their last 20 games Under the Total when playing with the opportunity to close out a playoff series. Lastly, while Tampa Bay has scored four goals in three straight games, they have then played 24 of their last 38 games Under the Total after scoring at least three goals in three straight games.
CONCLUSION: I lean strongly to the Bruins as a big underdog today — but this is an ideal situation to translate that play into a two-team parlay with the Under. 25* NHL 2nd Round ABC-TV Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Boston Bruins (63) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (64).

At 10:10 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (25) and the Vegas Golden Knights (26). THE SITUATION: San Jose (51-29-10) evened this series at two games apiece on Wednesday with their 4-0 shutout victory over the Golden Knights. This series returns to Las Vegas for this crucial fifth game.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: The Sharks have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total registering a shutout win at home. San Jose peppered the Knights’ goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury with 34 shots after putting 47 and 42 shots on him in the previous two games in this series. But San Jose has then played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total after generating at least 33 shots on target in at least three straight games. The Sharks have won two of the last three games in this series — and they have then played 25 of their last 40 games Under the Total after winning two of their last three. Furthermore, San Jose has also played 35 of their last 54 road games Under the Total with the number set at 5.5. Vegas (57-29-7) suffered their first loss in regulation in the playoffs. They have allowed eleven goals over these last three games after winning Game Three of this series by a 4-3 score in overtime. The Golden Knights have played 13 of their last 21 games Under the Total after allowing at least three goals in two straight games — and they have played 7 of their last 11 games Under the Total after allowing at least three goals in three straight games.

And in their last 8 opportunities to avenge a blowout loss by at least three goals, the Golden Knights have played 6 of these games Under the Total.
CONCLUSION: Expect this important fifth game in this tied series to be played very close to the vest similar to how Vegas played all their games against Los Angeles in the first-round of the playoffs. 25* NHL 2nd Round Playoff Bailout Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (25) and the Vegas Golden Knights (26).

At 9:40 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (21) and the Winnipeg Jets (22). THE SITUATION: Nashville (58-21-4) scored three goals in the first period but preceded to blow that lead on Tuesday in a 7-4 loss to the Jets. The Predators find themselves down 2-1 in this series while having to play once again in Winnipeg.
REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: Nashville has to tighten things up regarding their discipline and play on defense after committing four penalties in the third period with three of them occurring after tying the game at 4-4. The Predators should get better play from goalie Pekka Rinne who has a 1.35 Goals-Against-Average with a .957 save percentage in the last three games in their first-round series with Colorado. The Under is 10-1-1 in Nashville’s last 12 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. The final two goals by Winnipeg (58-22-11) in Game Three were empty netters. The Predators have also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total on the road after a game where both teams scored at least three goals. Nashville has also played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total on the road after a loss on the road to a Central Division rival. The Jets have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a win — and they have played 20 of their last 31 games Under the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games as they have after winning their opening round series against Minnesota in six games. Winnipeg has played 18 of their last 25 games Under the Total after a game where they scored at least six goals. They should get better play from their goaltender Connor Hellebuyck who had a 0.33 GAA along with a .991 save percentage with two shutouts in his last three games of that series with the Wild. And in their last 6 games on their home ice, the Jets have played 5 of these games Under the Total.
CONCLUSION: After high-scoring games in Games Two and Three of this series, expect this fourth game to be a low scoring affair. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (21) and the Winnipeg Jets (22). Best of luck for us — Frank.

THE SITUATION: Winnipeg (57-21-11) seized home ice advantage in this series by stealing Game One of this series by a 4-1 score. Game Two will played again in Nashville.
THE REASONS TO TAKE THE OVER: Nashville (57-20-4) will be desperate to even this series at 1-1 to avoid traveling to Winnipeg trailing by two games. The Predators have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when avenging a loss by at least three goals to their opponent. Nashville has also played 7 of their last 10 games Over the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Additionally, while the Predators have played four straight games Under the Total, they have then played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after playing at least four straight Unders.

CONCLUSION: Nashville had 48 shots on net on Friday — maintaining that pressure again should ensure their share of goals. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Winnipeg Jets (13) and the Nashville Predators (14). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:10 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (89) and the Vegas Golden Knights (90). THE SITUATION: Vegas (56-27-7) blew out the Sharks in the opening game of this series by a 7-0 score on Thursday. San Jose will be without Evander Kane tonight after he was suspended for a cross-check to the face of Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
THE REASONS TO TAKE THE UNDER: The Sharks will tighten things up on defense after their embarrassing effort on Thursday where they were caught by surprise by the speed of the Golden Knights. San Jose has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing at least five goals in their last game. Goalie Martin Jones was pulled after allowing five goals on just 13 shots in that game. However, Jones had a 0.99 Goals-Against-Average along with a .966 save percentage during the regular season in games following a contest where he was pulled — so he should play very well tonight. The Sharks have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a loss by at least three goals — and they have played 8 straight games Under the Total on the road after a loss by at least two goals. They will miss Kane who registered 14 points in the 17 games he played with the team since being acquired from Buffalo — and he scored three goals with one assist in the first-round of the playoffs. San Jose has also played 14 of their last 19 road games Under the Total when playing no more than their 5th game in fourteen days. Vegas (56-27-7) might be without Bellemare tonight given that injury which will hurt their Power Play Unit. The Golden Knights have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after scoring at least five goals in their last game — and they have played 13 of their last 17 home games Under the Total after a game where at least seven combined goals were scored. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is playing as well as he has any time in his career with two straight shutouts. He has a .982 save percentage in the playoffs. The Under is 7-2-1 in Vegas’ last 10 games after not allowing more than two goals in their last game. The Knights have also played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total at home.
CONCLUSION: The Total has moved to 5.5 for this game after Vegas played their first five games in these playoffs with the Total just at 5. The Golden Knights scored only seven total goals in their four games against Los Angeles while surrendering only three goals. 25* NHL NBC-TV Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (89) and the Vegas Golden Knights (90).

At 10:10 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (81) and the Vegas Golden Knights (82). THE SITUATION: Both these teams come off 4-0 sweeps in the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. San Jose (49-27-10) swept the Ducks after closing out that series last Wednesday with their 2-1 win in Anaheim. Vegas (55-27-7) proved that their regular season was no fluke by sweeping the Kings after defeating them last Tuesday by a 1-0 score.
THE REASONS FOR TAKING THE UNDER: Both these teams may be rusty since they are playing with seven days and eight days off since their last game. The risk of rust will likely compel both teams to play cautiously in this opening game. The Sharks have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest between contests while the Golden Knights have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total when playing with at least three days of rest. Both these teams have hot goalies with Marc-Andre Fleury posting a 0.65 Goals-Against-Average with a .977 save percentage in the LA series for Vegas while Martin Jones allowed only four goals in four games against the Ducks while registering a .970 save percentage for San Jose. The Under is 4-1-1 in the Sharks’ last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Vegas has played 7 of their last 8 games Under the Total on their home ice. The Under is also 7-1-1 in their last 9 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 7-1-1 in the Golden Knights’ last 9 games after allowing no more than two goals in their last game — and they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after shutting out their opponent in their last game.

At 7:10 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (87) and the Washington Capitals (88). THE SITUATION: Pittsburgh (51-31-6) advanced to the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs by knocking off the Flyers in six games culminating in an 8-5 win in Philadelphia on Sunday. Washington (53-28-7) rallied from an 0-2 deficit by winning four straight games against the Blue Jackets by closing that series out in Columbus on Monday with a 6-3 win. These two teams have faced off in each of the last two postseasons with the Penguins winning both times en route to winning the Stanley Cup.
REASONS WHY TO TAKE THE UNDER: Both these veteran playoff teams tend to play cautiously in the opening games of a new playoff series. Pittsburgh has played 11 of their last 14 opening games to a new series Under the Total while Washington has played 16 of their last 23 opening games to a new series Under the Total. The Penguins look due for an Under after that high-scoring closeout game against the Flyers as the Under is 3-0-2 in their last 5 games after scoring at least five goals in their last game while the Under is also 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. Pittsburgh will also be undermanned at the forward position with both Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin out for this contest with injuries which decimates their second line. Washington has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after winning at least four in a row — and they have also played 15 of their last 23 games Under the Total after a win on the road by at least three goals. The Capitals have also played 8 of their last 10 home games Under the Total with the Total set at 6 or higher. CONCLUSION: These two teams have played 4 of their last 5 meetings Under the Total. With the Total set at 6 for this opening game, expect a lower scoring game to contrast the high scoring game both teams closed out their previous series with. 25* NHL Metropolitan Division Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (87) and the Washington Capitals (88).

At 7:40 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs (25) and the Boston Bruins (26). Toronto (52-29-5) forced a decisive seventh game in this series on Monday with their 3-1 victory at home over the Bruins. Expect Mike Babcock to instruct his team to play disciplined and controlled hockey in this climactic game since surrendering a goal or two to the Bruins on their home ice could be the recipe for this game quickly spiraling out of hand. As it is, the Under is 4-0-1 in the Maple Leafs last 5 games after a victory. The Under is also 2-0-2 in Toronto’s last 4 games after allowing two goals or less in their last contest. And in their last 8 games after a win by at least two goals against an Atlantic Division rival, they have then played 5 of their last 8 games Under the Total. The Maple Leafs are getting great goaltending from their veteran Frederick Andersen who has stopped 74 of the 78 shots he has faced in the last two games of this series. But Andersen has been helped by his teammates blocking 45 shots in these last two games as they begin to appreciation the need for defense in desperation elimination game situations in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Boston (56-23-9) has seen the Under go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against an opponent that allowed no more than two goals in their last game. Additionally, the Bruins have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least two goals against their opponent. And while Boston has lost two of their last three games, they have then played 15 of their last 22 games Under the Total after losing two of their last three games. And in their last 30 games against Atlantic Division foes, the Bruins have played 20 of these games Under the Total. Their top line has been slowed down to an injury to Patrice Bergeron over these last two games yet — that top forward group of Bergeron along with Brad Marchand and David Patrnak have not registered a point in the last two games of this series. Lastly, in their last 8 Game Sevens in the NHL Playoffs, Boston has played 5 of these games Under the Total. 25* NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Game Seven O/U Special Feature with Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs (25) and the Boston Bruins (26).

At 7:10 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (75) and the Colorado Avalanche (76). Nashville (55-20-4) scored in the third period on Friday to take a 1-0 lead over the Flyers with the opportunity to close out that series in five games — but they then allowed two goals to lose Game Five of this series by a 2-1 score. Expect another low-scoring game in Game Six. While the Predators have much more balance and depth on offense this season versus their team that reached the Stanley Cup Finals last year, this is a team that is very comfortable playing low-scoring games behind the best blue-line in the NHL along with a goaltender in Pekka Rinne who will likely win the Vezina Trophy this season. Nashville has played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a loss at home. The Predators have also played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total after a loss by just one goal — and they have played 8 of their last 9 games on the road Under the Total after a loss by just one goal to a Central Division rival. Furthermore, the Under is 8-2-1 in Nashville’s last 11 games against an opponent that did not score more than two goals in their last game.
Colorado (47-33-8) got an outstanding effort from third-string goaltender Andrew Hammond who was pressed into service with an injury to Jonathan Bernier in Game Four of this series. The Hamburglar has certainly enjoyed hot streaks in his NHL career (most notably with Ottawa a few seasons ago) so he there should be a positive carry over from his stopping 44 of the 45 shots he faced on Friday. Good goaltending is also a product of good defense — and the Avalanche will likely continue to play less aggressively than they would if their first-stringer Semyon Varlamov was between the pipes. That is a recipe for another low-scoring game. As it is, Colorado has played 8 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a win over a Central Division rival. Furthermore, the Avalanche have played 7 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a narrow win by just one goal. Colorado has also played 15 of their last 23 games Under the Total after a win on the road by just one goal — and this includes them playing four of these last situations Under the Total. Additionally, in games with the Total set at 6 or higher, when the home team comes off a win on the road against a divisional rival, these games finished Under the Total in 209 of these last 341 situations (61%) where these conditions applied. Lastly, in games with the Total set at 6 or higher, when the road team comes off a loss against a division rival now faces a team that comes off win on the road against a division foe, these games finished Under the Total in 60 of these last 88 situations. 25* NHL NBC-Sports Network 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (75) and the Colorado Avalanche (76).

At 3:10 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New Jersey Devils (65) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (66). Tampa Bay (57-24-3) has the opportunity to close out this series tonight after taking a 3-1 lead in this series on Wednesday with their 3-1 victory over the Devils. The Lightning are getting great play from their goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy who has rebounded from a second-half slump to post a 2.26 Goals-Against-Average along with a .937 save percentage in this series. The Tampa Bay Power Play Kill Unit has also stepped up to negate 15 of New Jersey’s 18 Power Play chances for a 83.3% clip which is much better than their 76.1% mark during the regular season. This has become a physical series which has slowed down the torrid scoring pace that defined the earlier games in this series. The Lightning have only scored five goals over these last two games after scoring five goals in both Game One and Game Two of this series. This should be another low-scoring affair — they have played 11 of their last 16 Game Fives in a playoff series Under the Total. Tampa Bay has also played 3 of their last 4 games Under the Total when up 3-1 in a playoff series. And in their last 19 opportunities to close out a playoff series, the game finished Under the Total 12 times — and this includes them playing three of their last four games Under the Total in that situation.
New Jersey (46-32-5) has played 11 of their last 18 games Under the Total after a loss at home. The Devils have also played 6 of their last 9 games after a loss at home by two more more goals. Goalie Cory Schneider was solid in net on Wednesday even in defeat as he stopped 34 of the 36 shots he faced. In this series, Schneider has stopped 78 of the 82 shots he has encountered since taking over for Keith Kinkaid for a sizzling .951 save percentage. Moving forward, New Jersey has played 5 of their last 6 games in the fifth game of an NHL series Under the Total — and they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total when trailing by a 3-1 mark in the NHL Playoffs. 25* NHL 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the New Jersey Devils (65) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (66).

At 10:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (63) and the San Jose Sharks (64). San Jose (48-27-10) has the opportunity to close this series out tonight after they took a commanding 3-0 lead with their 8-1 win on Monday in Game Three of this series. The Sharks have seen the Over go 12-3-2 in their last 17 games after a win. Additionally, the Over is 5-1-1 in San Jose’s last 7 games after a game where they scored at least 5 goals in their last game. The Sharks enjoyed eight Power Play opportunities in that game which was filled with Ducks’ committing penalties — and they scored on four of those Power Play chances. San Jose has then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after getting ate last eight Power Play chances in their last game. Furthermore, the Over is 4-0-1 in the Sharks’ last 5 games after allowing no more than two goals in their last game — and the Over is also 9-1-1 in their last 11 games against an opponent that did not score more than two goals in their last contest. San Jose can close this series out at home where they have played 5 straight games Over the Total.
Anaheim (45-28-13) has only scored three goals in this series — so they will be desperate to generate more offense tonight. The Ducks need to get more bodies in front of the net to pressure the Sharks’ goaltender Martin Jones. The Over is 3-1-1 in Anaheim’s last 5 games after a loss by at least three goals. The Over is also 3-1-1 in the Ducks’ last 5 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last contest. The Over is also 3-0-1 in Anaheim’s last 4 games when playing with one day of rest. But in trying to create more offense, the Ducks’ blue-line has creeped up into San Jose’s side of the ice which has made them vulnerable to the Sharks’ speed on rushes of their own. San Jose has scored fourteen goals in this series and do not seem to be letting up. Lastly, the Sharks have played 4 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least five goals in their last game. 25* NHA 1st Round Pacific Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (63) and the San Jose Sharks (64).

At 7:30 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Minnesota Wild (53) and the Winnipeg Jets (54). Winnipeg (53-20-10) took Game One of this series on Wednesday with their 3-2 victory in a game where they scored two goals in the 3rd period to rally from a 2-1 deficit. The Jets entered that 3rd period with a 1-0 score before both teams found the back of the net two times. Expect the scoring to continue in this important game for the Wild that wants to avoid falling behind by an 0-2 deficit in this series. Winnipeg has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total against opponents that did not score more than two goals in their last game. The Jets are scoring 3.9 Goals-Per-Game at home in the Bell MTS Place this season — and they are averaging 4.0 Goals-Per-Game over their last five contests. Winnipeg peppered the Wild’s goalie Devan Dubnyk with 40 shots on Wednesday. They remain undermanned with their depth at the blue-line with Toby Enstrom and Dmitry Kulikov out with injuries. The Jets have won six straight games — and this will be their fourth game on home ice. Winnipeg has played 14 of their last 20 games Over the Total after winning their last two games at home. The Jets have also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total when playing their fourth game at home in a row.
Minnesota (45-27-11) needs to put pressure on the Jets’ goalie Connor Hellebuyck after only peppering him with 20 shots on Wednesday. The Wild should see their top line of Eric Staal, Jason Zucker and Nino Niederreiter be more aggressive tonight after they failed to generate a combined point in Game One. The trio combined for only four shots on net and just two legitimate scoring opportunities in that game. Minnesota has played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total after a loss to a Central Division rival. The Wild have also played 13 of their last 20 games Over the Total after a loss on the road. And in their last 17 road games after a game where they allowed at least two goals in the 3rd period. Considering that Minnesota is allowing 3.5 Goals-Per-Game when on the road, they have to enter this game thinking they need to score at least three goals on Hellebuyck to win this game. Lastly, these two teams have played 7 of their last 8 games Over the Total when playing in Winnipeg. 25* NHL 1st Round Central Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between Minnesota Wild (53) and the Winnipeg Jets (54).

At 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs (11) and the Boston Bruins (12). Boston (50-20-9) is limping into the playoffs having lost four of their last five games after their 4-2 loss in Florida. The Bruins have played 16 of their last 23 games Under the Total after allowing at least four goals in their last game. Boston has also played 6 straight home games Under the Total after a loss at home by at least two goals. The good news for this team is that they will be healthier for the playoffs with both Rick Nash and Sean Kuraly practicing with the team this week and listed as probable to play tonight after they were out for that recent losing stretch. With a core group of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and Zeno Chara, the Bruins still have the leadership team that led them to a Stanley Cup win in 2013. Expect this team to be prepared to grind out a lower scoring game in this opening salvo. Their offense is struggling as they are scoring only 2.4 Goals-Per-Game over their last five contests. Goalie Tuukka Rask has been solid this season with a 2.36 Goals-Against-Average and a .917 save percentage — but he has a very good resume in the playoffs which included raising the Cup as the starting goalie in that 2013 campaign. In 53 career starts in the playoffs, Rask has a 2.12 GAA along with a .928 save percentage. Rask also likes playing against the Maple Leafs as he enjoys a 2.14 GAA with a .925 save percentage in 25 career starts in the regular season against them. Moving forward, the Under is 18-6-3 in Boston’s last 27 games against fellow Atlantic Division opponents. The Under is 33-16-6 in the Bruins’ last 55 games against teams with a winning record. And in their last 7 home games with the Total set at 6 or higher, Boston has played 5 of these games Under the Total.
Toronto (49-26-5) enters the playoffs having four of their last six games with their 4-2 win over Montreal. Head coach Mike Babcock perhaps got this team to overachieve last season by making the playoffs with such a young roster. Some critics have suggested this year’s team has not been as dynamic on offense when considering their great young talent led buy Auston Matthews. However, Babcock has been molding his team to be able to be comfortable playing in the harder-hitting games that typically are required to advance deep into the playoffs. The Maple Leafs have played 10 of their last 13 opening games to a new playoff series Under there Total. Toronto has also seen the Under go 11-5-1 in their last 17 games after not allowing more than two goals in their last game. Goalie Frederik Anderson has been solid again this season with a 2.81 GAA and a .917 save percentage although those numbers are not as good as what he posted last year when he carried this team at times. But Anderson loves playing against the Bruins against whom he has a 2.09 GAA along with a .935 save percentage in eleven career starts. The veteran also has plenty of playoff experience with a 2.45 GAA and .915 save percentage in thirty-two postseason starts. The Maple Leafs have now allowed more than two goals in their last three regular season games. They have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after not allowing more than two goals in two straight games — and they have played 5 straight games Under the Total after not allowing more than two goals in three straight contests. Lastly, in their last 8 trips to Boston, Toronto has played 6 of these games Under the Total. 25* NHL 1st Round Atlantic Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs (11) and the Boston Bruins (12).

At 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Flyers (5) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (6). Philadelphia (42-26-14) enters the playoffs having won four of their last five games with their 5-0 shutout over the Rangers last Saturday. Head coach Dave Hakstol tipped his hand by starting Brian Elliott in goal for their last two games after he missed 25 games through April 3rd — so he has to be pleased with that shutout to end the regular season. Elliott only made five starts after the All-Star Break but he was outstanding with a 1.94 Goals-Against-Average and a .918 save percentage. The Flyers have a good core of young players — but after their dynamic top line featuring Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux, the scoring prowess of their forwards drops off considerably. Philadelphia has only seven players who registered at least 30 points during the regular season. Expect the Flyers to play with more caution on the road in this opening game of the playoffs. They have played 5 of their last 7 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. The Under is also 5-1-1 in Philly’s last 7 games in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Pittsburgh (47-29-6) has also won four of their last five games with their 4-0 shutout win over Ottawa last Friday. The Flyers have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total against teams that did not allow more than two goals in their last game. These Penguins are considered to be not more than average with their blue-line — but I find those assessments undervaluing a group that helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup for the second straight season. Pittsburgh has Kris Letang back to lead their defense after he missed all of the postseason last year with a herniated disc in his neck. But it was two years ago in the Pens’ first Cup run where Letang raised his level of play to establish that he was a top tier number one blue-liner. He is joined this year with many of the players that manned the blue-line in Brian Doumolin, Justin Schultz and Olli Maatta. I am loving that Game One of this series has a Total listed at 6 — let’s attack that number which is quite high for a playoff game. Head coach Mike Sullivan had his forwards help on defense in the playoffs last year to compensate for the absence of Letang which resulted in plenty of Unders — and I do not see him deviating from that winning formula. The Penguins were outscored this season in 5-on-5 play so I do not see Sullivan being too anxious in getting into a high scoring affair with the Flyers. Instead, Pittsburgh should be able to take advantage of their Power Play opportunities to grind out low-scoring games. The Penguins led the NHL with a Power Play Unit that converted on 26.2% of their chances. They also scored on 5 of their 13 Power Play chances in their four games against a Flyers’ team that ranked 29th in the NHL with a Power Play Kill Unit that was successful only 75.8% of the time. Pittsburgh also has a battle-tested net minder in Matt Murray who enjoys a 1.95 Goals-Against-Average with a .928 save percentage in 32 playoff games. Lastly, the Under is supported by two strong empirical situational angles. First, in games in the month of April with the Total set at 6 or higher, when the home team has won at least three of their last four games, the game finished Under the Total in 47 of these last 67 (70%) situations where these conditions applied since 1996. Second, in games involving a home team coming off a shutout win now facing a team did not allow more than one goal, these games finished Under the Total in 227 of the last 381 situations where these conditions applied since 1996. 25* NHL First Round Metropolitan Division Playoffs Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Flyers (5) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (6).

At 9:35 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Edmonton Oilers (10). Edmonton (34-36-4) has won three straight games with their 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings last night. Goalie Cam Talbot stopped 27 of the 29 shots he faced to earn the win. This was a great Under situation save for the possibility that backup goalie Al Montoya would be between the pipes tonight given that Talbot played last night. Montoya cannot be trusted with Unders. However, my sources have informed me that Montoya is unavailable this evening (and the Oilers are calling up a backup goaltender from their minor league team) — so it will be Talbot playing again tonight. Voila, we have a great situation for us now. Talbot struggled earlier in the season — and his step back this season from an outstanding 2016-17 campaign is one of the reasons why this Edmonton team will not be in the playoffs this season. But Talbot has found his form this month with a 2.19 Goals-Against-Average and a .936 save percentage. And he has a solid 2.49 GAA with a .912 save percentage when playing without rest so that is not a concern for me. The Oilers have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a victory — and they have played 10 of their last 13 home games Under the Total after a win by one goal or less. Edmonton has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last contest. Over their last five games, the Oilers are allowing only 2.4 Goals-Per-Game. Edmonton stays at home where the Under is 6-2-1 in their last 9 games. And in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 3-1-2.
Anaheim (38-24-6) saw their four-game winning streak snapped on Friday with their 3-2 loss in overtime at Winnipeg. The Ducks have then played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after scoring two goals or less in their last game. Anaheim may be without their captain and top-line center in Ryan Getzlaf tonight as he is questionable with a stomach virus. That means the team will be leaning even more on goalie John Gibson who has been of fire as of late. Since the All-Star Break, Gibson has a 1.80 GAA along with a .942 save percentage with three shutouts in 17 starts. He also enjoys a 1.45 GAA in his three starts against the Oilers this season. Anaheim will be looking to avenge a 6-5 loss to Edmonton back on February 25th — and they have played 7 of their last 8 road games Under the Total when avenging a loss where they allowed at least five goals. The Ducks have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total on the road. They also have played 15 of their last 21 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. And in their last 37 games against fellow Western Conference foes, the Under is 26-10-1. 25* NHL Pacific Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Edmonton Oilers (10).

The Coyotes have played 17 of their last 22 games Under the Total after scoring two goals or less in their last game. Arizona has also played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total when playing with one day of rest. This Coyotes team is scoring only 2.3 Goals-Per-Game this season. They will go with their top goaltender tonight in Antti Raanta whose .917 save percentage on the road is exactly the same as it is when playing at home. Arizona has played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total on the road — and this includes playing six straight Unders when on the road against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice.
St. Louis (28-17-3) has won two games in a row with their 4-1 win at Ottawa on Thursday. The Under is then 33-16-2 in their last 51 games after a victory. Additionally, the Blues have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game. Now St. Louis returns home where they have played 11 of their last 12 games Under the Total. They will be going with their backup goalie Carter Hutton who has been outstanding this season in that role. Hutton has a 1.72 Goals-Against-Average with a .943 save percentage this season in fourteen starts and eighteen appearances overall. He has been even better at home where he sees those numbers improve to a 1.67 GAA along with a .944 saver percentage. Moving forward, the Under is 19-4-3 in their last 26 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%.

New York (20-17-3) has lost four straight games with their 6-4 loss in Philadelphia last night. The Islanders have then seen the Over go 16-5-1 in their last 22 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. The Over is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games when playing without a day of rest. Additionally, New York has played 21 of their last 26 games Over the Total after playing a game that finished above the number. This team returns home where they are scoring 4.0 Goals-Per-Game. The Over is 15-5-1 in their last 21 games on home ice. Some of the issue is goaltending for all these Overs. Their top goalie, Jaroslav Halak who will be between the pipes tonight, has a mediocre 3.0 Goals-Against-Average with a middling .913 save percentage on home ice this season. Moving forward, the Islanders have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. New York has also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total against fellow Metropolitan Division opponents. And the Islanders will be playing with revenge on their minds after their 4-3 loss at Pittsburgh back on December 7th. Not only has New York then played 10 of their last 15 games Over the Total when looking to avenge a loss to their opponent but they have also played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total when their opponent scored at least four goals in that victory.
Pittsburgh (20-19-2) has lost three of their last four games with their 4-0 shutout loss to Carolina last night. The Penguins have played 4 straight games Over the Total after a loss by at least three goals — and the Over is 6-2-1 in their last 9 games after a loss on home ice by at least three goals. The Over is also 6-1-1 in their last 8 games when playing without a day of rest. Sidney Crosby has not scored a goal in his last eight games while managing just three assists over that span — but that means he is time bomb when it comes to the offensive fury that is likely to come. The Penguins will likely need to score goals tonight with backup Tristan Jarry serving as goaltender. Jarry has been a surprise with his 2.36 GAA along with a .922 save percentage — but those numbers are likely not to be sustainable as teams get a book on him. This will be the second time he has faced this Islanders team. Pittsburgh’s defense has been faulty this season — they are allowing 3.56 Goals-Per-Game on the road this year. The Over is also 7-3-1 in the Pens’ last 11 games against teams with a losing record. And in the last 5 meetings between these two teams, the game finished Over the Total 4 times. 25* NHL Pre-All Star Game Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (51) and the New York Islanders (52).

San Jose (10-8-0) looks to snap their three-game losing streak with their 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Monday. The Sharks have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Scoring has been an issue for this team — as epitomized by the play of defenseman Brett Burns who has yet to score this season while registering a mere 7 points in nineteen games after being one of the best offensive players on the blue-line in the entire NHL. San Jose is getting outstanding play from their goalie Martin Jones when on the road this year where he owns an outstanding 1.01 Goals-Against-Average along with a .967 save percentage in four starts. The Sharks have played 4 straight games Under the Total on the road. San Jose has also seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% at home. Furthermore, the Under is a decisive 30-11-18 in the Sharks’ last 59 games against fellow Pacific Division opponents.
Arizona (5-15-2) has won three straight games with their 4-1 upset win in Toronto on Monday. The team has overcome a disastrous start due to better goaltending as of late. Tonight goalie Anntti Raanta has won his last three starts while allowing only three goals with a sparkling .950 save percentage over his last two starts. The Coyotes played a front-loaded schedule on the road which did not help their start but Raanta has a solid 2.51 Goals-Against-Average with a .921 save percentage at home this year. Arizona has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a victory. The Under is also 7-3-1 in the Coyotes’ last 11 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. And in their last 14 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 9-4-1. Lastly, in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in Arizona, the game finished Under the Total 4 times.

At 8:00 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (7) and the Nashville Predators (8). Pittsburgh (65-28-6) scored in the first three minutes of the 1st period on Saturday but failed to score a goal for the remaining 57 minutes in their 5-1 loss to the Predators in Game Three of this series. The Penguins have scored just six goals in their last four road games as well as only ten goals in their last six playoff games on the road. While the Pens are loaded with scorers at forward, they are playing a bit more conservatively than perhaps they would like given the injuries they have endured on defense — most notably with their talisman blue-liner in Kris Letang. The team was also without their third-line center Nick Bonino on Saturday and he is listed as questionable for Game Four with his lower body injury. Goalie Matt Murray suffered his worst game in these playoffs by allowing five goals on 33 shots — he should play better tonight after stopping 60 of the first 64 shots he has faced in this series. Nashville scored twice in the 3rd period on Saturday — and Pittsburgh has played 9 of their last 10 road games Under the Total after allowing at least two goals in the 3rd period of their last game. The Penguins have also played 11 of their last 14 road games Under the Total after a loss on the road — and they have played 23 of their last 34 road games Under the Total after a loss by at least two goals. Additionally, the Under is 6-2-2 in Pittsburgh’s last 10 games against an opponent that did not allow more than two goals in their last game. And in their last 47 opportunities on the road to avenge a loss to their opponent, 32 of these games finished Under the Total.
Nashville (54-35-12) benefitted from a bounce-back performance from goalie Pekka Rinne who silenced critics by stopping 27 of the 28 shots he faced on Saturday. At home in the playoffs, Rinne has a 1.48 Goals-Against-Average along with a .949 save percentage. The Predators have then played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a win by at least four goals. But Nashville is not likely to repeat their scoring barrage in that game as the Under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after scoring at least five goals in their last game. Additionally, the Under is 7-2-3 in the Predators’ last 12 games on their home ice. And in their last 18 games played with one day of rest, the Under is 11-3-4. 25* National Hockey League Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (7) and the Nashville Predators (8).

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (63-27-6) earned the opportunity to defend their Stanley Cup Championship in this year’s Stanley Cup with their 3-2 victory over Ottawa in the climactic seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday. The Penguins host this opening game as they retain the home ice advantage in this series — and the Under is 8-3-2 in their last 13 games at home. While Pittsburgh has two of the best forwards in the world in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, head coach Mike Sullivan has had his team play a bit more conservatively to help compensate for some of the injuries on their blue line. Furthermore, expect both teams to be cautious in this opening game as they feel each other out after their tough respective Conference Finals. The Penguins have played 22 of their last 32 opening games of a new series in the playoffs. Additionally, the Predators will be taking the ice for the first time in a week for this game — and that helps place the Under into an empirical angle that has been 69% effective over the last five seasons. In games between non-conference opponents with the Total set at 5.5, when the road team is playing with at least three days of rest, these games then finished Under the Total in 36 of the last 52 situations where these conditions applied.
Nashville (53-33-12) closed out their series with Anaheim in six games with their 6-3 victory last Monday. The Under is then 4-0-1 in their last 5 games after scoring at least five goals in their last game. Despite that scoring explosion, this real strength of this team is their blue line where they have the luxury of four players in Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis, P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm could all be the number one defenseman on most other teams. These four players form two elite defensive pairings that will give the Penguins trouble — particularly early on in this series. Moving forward, the Under is 11-2-4 in the Predators’ last 17 games against an opponent that allowed two goals or less in their last game. Lastly, the Under is 4-1-2 in Nashville’s last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. 25* National Hockey League Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2).

At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Nashville Predators (10). Nashville (51-32-12) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Tuesday with their 2-1 victory. The Predators thrive off the energy of the home crowd in Bridgestone Arena which helps ensure they provide maximum effort for all sixty minutes of the game. That helps explain why they have allowed only one goal in each of their last five playoff games on their home ice. The Under is now 9-1-2 in their last 12 games at home. Nashville has also played 13 of their last 19 games Under the Total following a game that finished Under the Total. Much of the reason why the Preds are so tough at home is that head coach Peter LaViolette gets the option of the last line shift which affords him maximum flexibility to deploy his two elite defensive lines of Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis along with P.K. Subban Mattias Ekholm. The club is also getting outstanding goaltending from Pekka Rinne who has a superb .958 save percentage on the 167 shots he has faced at home in these playoffs. Moving forward, the Under is 4-0-1 in Nashville’s last 5 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. And in their last 5 games after not allowing more than two goals, the Under is 3-1-1.
Anaheim (56-27-13) managed only 20 shots on net on Tuesday while being held without a shot for almost the entire 3rd period which includes the last minute or so when they pulled their goalie John Gibson. It will be difficult for the Ducks to have much success against those two outstanding defensive lines of the Predators that are on the ice at least two-thirds of the time. Anaheim has played 19 of their last 25 road games Under the Total after a loss by just one goal. And in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Ducks have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Expect this critical fourth game to be a hard-hitting defensive affair. 25* NHL Western Conference Total of the Year with the Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (9) and the Nashville Predators (10).

At 8:05 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (7) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (8). Pittsburgh (59-25-6) was flat on Saturday in their 2-1 loss in overtime to the Senators in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Penguins failed to score in any of their five Power Play chances that included 45 seconds where they had a 5-on-3 advantage. I was not surprised as I expected Pittsburgh to struggle to adjust to Ottawa’s 1-3-1 zone trapping system. Look for Sidney Crosby and company to play much better on the offensive end of the ice tonight. The Penguins have played 13 of their last 18 games Over the Total after failing to score more than one goal. And while Pittsburgh has played two straight Unders, they have then played 10 of their last 13 games Over the Total after playing two straight Unders. Additionally, the Pens have played 16 of their last 23 games Over the Total when attempting to avenge a loss to their opponent where they scored only one goal. And in their last 27 games on their home ice where the Total was not 5.5 or higher, the game finished Over the Total 21 times.
Ottawa (53-33-6) has seen the Over go 3-0-3 in their last 6 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. The Over is also a decisive 43-19-7 in the Penguins’ last 69 games when facing a team that did not score more than two goals in their last contest. The Senators scored a surprising 19 goals in their six game series with the Rangers last round which included scoring five and four goals in the last two games of that series. They are averaging 2.83 Goals-Per-Game in the playoffs — and they will need to improve that scoring pace to stay competitive with this Pittsburgh team that leads all teams in the playoffs by scoring 3.42 Goals-Per-Game. Ottawa does have thirteen players who have scored in these playoffs — and they will be facing a Penguins’ blue line that is depleted with injuries to Kris Letang and Trevor Daley. 25* NHL Playoffs *A-List* O/U Special with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (7) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (8).

At 7:00 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (59-24-6) picked themselves off the mat after losing two straight games to the Capitals by then shuttin out Washington on their home ice to win that climactic Game Seven by a 2-0 score. Marc-Andre Fleury earned the shutout by stopping 29 shots — he has a .927 save percentage in the twelve playoff games he has started this postseason. While the Penguins have significant injuries on their blue-line with Kris Letang out for these playoffs and Trevor Daley still questionable with his lower body injury, head coach Mike Sullivan has had his team adapt by being less aggressive and emphasizing their defensive tactics. Pittsburgh has blocked 250 shots in the first two rounds of the playoffs. But this decision has also impacted the Penguins’ ability to apply pressure on offense. They averaged only 23 shots on net per game in that seven-game series with the Capitals. Moving forward, Pittsburgh has played 21 of their last 31 opening games of a new playoff series Under the Total. The Under is also 5-2-1 in the Penguins’ last 8 home games against teams with a winning record on the road.
Ottawa (52-33-6) reached the Eastern Conference Finals with their 4-2 victory over the Rangers in Madison Square Garden to close that series out in six games on Tuesday. Not only have the Senators then played 15 of their last 23 games Under the Total after playing a game on the road but they have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a win on the road where they scored at least four goals. This team scored a surprising 19 combined goals in their six game series over the Rangers which might speak more about the state of the New York blue-line that it does about the potency of their offensive attack. Ottawa wishes to slow down their opponents with their 1-3-1 trapping zone schemes that look to much things up in the neutral zone. Expect the Penguins to struggle to solve that system in this opening game of this series. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2).

At 7:35 PM EST on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Washington Capitals (1) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2). Pittsburgh (58-23-6) blew both an opportunity to close this series out on Saturday as well as 2-1 lead after two periods in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals. The Penguins allowed three goals in the 3rd period against Washington to lose that game. Expect Pittsburgh to tighten things up on defense tonight. Despite that setback, goalie Marc Andre-Fleury has been strong in net for this team. The former Stanley Cup Champion for this team has a .921 save percentage over his last four games while posting a .929 save percentage in these playoffs after being the surprise starter for Matt Murray who suffered an injury in the pre-game warmups for the opening game in the postseason. The Penguins have played 25 of their last 36 home games Under the Total after allowing at least two goals in the 3rd period in their last game. Pittsburgh has also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total on their home ice. And in their last 9 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Under is 6-2-1.
Washington (60-25-8) has played 4 straight games Under the Total after a victory — and they have played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after a win versus a Metropolitan Division rival. The Under is also 17-6-3 in the Capitals’ last 26 games after allowing two goals or less. Washington is doing a good job of limiting the Penguins’ chances. They limited Pittsburgh — even with Sidney Crosby back on the ice — to just 22 shots on Saturday after only 10 shots in the 1st and 2nd periods. The Pens are averaging only 23 shots on net in this series. Moving forward, the Under is 5-2-1 in Washington’s last 8 games on the road.

Pittsburgh (58-22-6) scored three goals on just 18 shots on Wednesday in their 3-2 win that gave them a 3-1 lead in this series. With that Total moving to 5.5 by the time the puck dropped in that game, that result was the second straight Under in this series. The Penguins have then played 9 of their last 12 games Over the Total after playing at least two straight Unders. Pittsburgh has also played 18 of their last 26 games Under the Total when playing their second game in the last five days. Furthermore, the Under is 42-19-7 in the last 68 games against an opponent that did not score more than two goals in their last game. Pittsburgh needs to increase the pressure they are putting on goalie Braden Holtby even with their 3-1 series lead. They may very well get Sidney Crosby back on the ice tonight as the superstar has said he has had a number of positive days after suffering a concussion. Moving forward, the Pens have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total on the road. And in their last 21 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Over is 15-5-1.
Washington (59-25-8) has played 23 of their last 36 games Over the Total after a game that finished below the number. Head coach Barry Trotz made headlines with his announcement that he is moving Alex Ovechkin to the third line. The top forward line with Niklas Backstrom and T.J. Oshie will be still be potent — while making that 3rd line more vibrant with Ovechkin manning it. But don’t be surprised if Trotz doubles Ovechkin’s shifts in this desperate situation by having him continue to play with Backstrom and Oshie. The Capitals put 38 shots on net in Game Four — and they have outshot the Penguins by 49 shots in this series. In many ways, they are outplaying the defending Stanley Cup Champions. They should get their share of goals tonight. Lastly, the Over is 6-2-2 in Washington’s last 10 games when playing with two days of rest. While grabbing the 5 (at a higher price) is worth it, still take the Over if 5.5 is your only option). 25* NHL 2nd Round Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Penguins (61) and the Washington Capitals (62).

At 7:30 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the New York Rangers (2). Ottawa (50-32-6) may have played their worst game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday in their 4-1 loss to the Rangers. Perhaps Guy Boucher’s team was complacent after rallying from a 5-3 deficit late in the 3rd period to force overtime where they then won in overtime in Game Two of this series. The Senators fell behind by a 2-0 score in the first period and later were down 4-0 in Game Three while getting thoroughly outplayed by a desperate New York team. Ottawa must tighten their control of the puck while goalie needs to stop being too frisky around the net where he has burned too many times in the postseason by leaving the pipes unprotected. After allowing nine goals over the last two games, the Senators should get back to their tight defensive tactics that emphasizing trapping in their 1-3-1 zone. Ottawa has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a loss by at least three goals. The Senators have also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least three goals. Furthermore, the Under is 37-18-5 in Ottawa’s last 60 games against Eastern Conference opponents. The good news for this team is that forward Bobby Ryan will take the ice in this game after suffering a lower-body injury. While Ryan is a crucial goal scorer for this team, his presence will keep Boucher confident in his teams defense-first tactics.
New York (53-33-8) has seen the Under go 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a victory. They continue to get excellent play from their goalie Henrik Lundqvist who owns a .935 save percentage in these playoffs. The Rangers are also seeing the emergence of defenseman Brady Skjei to be their best player on what was considered a suspect blue-line entering the postseason. Moving forward, the Under is 4-0-1 in New York’s last 5 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. The Under is also 8-2-2 in the Rangers’ last 12 games against Eastern Conference opponents. Lastly, the Under is 19-5-3 in the Rangers’ last 27 opportunities to host the Senators in New York. 25* NHL 2nd Round Eastern Conference Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Ottawa Senators (1) and the New York Rangers (2).

At 10:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (57) and the Edmonton Oilers (58). Anaheim (51-25-13) made this a series on Sunday by coming out on fire by scoring three goals in the first 11:51 of the first period to stun the Oilers and their home crown en route to their 6-3 victory to make this a 2-1 series for Edmonton. Those nine goals compelled the oddsmakers to raise the Total from 5 to 5.5 — and lets pounce on that opportunity to win the Totals play with a 3-2 result (a highly likely score for tonight’s game). The Ducks have seen just one of their games in the playoffs have a 5.5 number while this will be the first 5.5 for the Oilers this postseason. This critical fourth game should be a defensive struggle that gets physical like the Washington-Pittsburgh series. Despite the nine goals on Sunday, Anaheim and Edmonton only generated 28 and 27 shots on net respectively. Moving forward, the Ducks have played 14 of their last 21 games Under the Total after scoring at least four goals in their last game — and the Under is 3-0-2 in Anaheim’s last 5 games after scoring at least five goals in their last contest. The Under is also 16-5-5 in the Ducks’ last 26 games against an opponent that allowed at least five goals in their last contest. And in their last 8 games when playing with two days of rest, the Under is 5-1-2.
Edmonton (53-29-4) has played a decisive 12 of their last 15 home games Under the Total after a game where at least nine combined goals were scored. The Oilers have also seen the Under go 13-6-2 in their last 21 games after a loss at home by at least three goals. Furthermore, the Under is 8-2-1 in Edmonton’s last 11 games when playing with two days of rest. Despite their youth and the hype around their emerging superstar Connor McDavid, this has become a defensive team in the playoffs under the veteran guidance of head coach Todd McClellan. In disposing of the San Jose Sharks in six games, they averaged only 2.0 Goals-Per-Game. These Oilers were simply shellshocked at home on Sunday — expect their defense and their goalie Cam Talbot to play better tonight. Talbot was super in the opening round of the playoffs by sporting a 2.03 Goals-Against-Average along with a .927 save percentage. Lastly, the Under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings between these two teams. 25* NHL Pacific Division Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Anaheim Ducks (57) and the Edmonton Oilers (58).

At 9:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (53) and the Nashville Predators (54). Nashville (47-30-12) took a 2-1 lead in this series on Sunday with their 3-1 win over the Blues. Returning home really helps this Predators team since it affords head coach Peter Laviolette the right to make the final lineup change on the ice to produce the matchups he prefers. In the first two games of this series in St. Louis, the Blues head coach Mike Yeo chose have his star forward Vladimir Tarasenko match up against the Nashville defensive pairing of Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Laviolette changed that dynamic up by having P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm be on the ice to slow Tarasenko down — and the Blues’ star managed just three shots on goal on Sunday. The Under is 4-0-2 in St. Louis’ last 6 games at home. Overall, the Blues held the Predators to just 23 shots on net which is not nearly enough pressure on goalie Pekka Rinne who had an outstanding 0.70 Goals-Against-Average along with a .976 save percentage in the opening round of the playoffs again the powerful Blackhawks. The Under is now 3-1-4 in Nashville’s last 8 games against familiar Central Division foes. And in their last 51 opportunities to host the Blues, the Under is 35-10-6 in Nashville.
St. Louis (50-32-7) managed only 35.5% of the shot attempts in Game Three in even 5-on-5 situations. This Blues team managed only eight goals from their forwards in their five-game series with Minnesota in the opening round of the playoffs with one of those goals being an empty-netter. Since Yeo took over this team, his emphasis has been on more disciplined defensive play. This has helped the team find success when away from home as the team is currently on a 12-2-1 run on the road. Defense has been the key to that success as they have allowed only 25 combined goals in those fifteen games away from home. The Under is 11-4-1 in the Blues’ last 16 games on the road — and the Under is 5-1-1 in St. Louis’ last 7 games on the road against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. The Under is also 15-6-3 in the Blues’ last 24 games against an opponent that did not allow more than two goals in their last game. And in their last 26 games against Western Conference foes, the Under is 17-5-4. Together, these team trends produce our specific 90-27-19 combined angle for this situation. 25* NHL Central Division Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the St. Louis Blues (53) and the Nashville Predators (54).

Anaheim (50-25-13) will be playing with desperation tonight after falling behind 2-0 in this series with their 2-1 loss to the Oilers on Friday in Game Two of this series. This team has to play disciplined and give this dynamic Edmonton team less opportunities with a man-advantage after surrendering three Power Play goals in the first two games of this series. The Ducks have played 20 of their last 25 road games Under the Total after a loss at home — and they have played fifteen of their last seventeen road games Under the Total when that loss at home was by one goal. Anaheim has also played 14 of the last 21 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by just one goal. Additionally, the Under is 4-1-2 in the Ducks’ last 7 games played with one day of rest. And in their last 17 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice, the Under is 8-3-6.
Edmonton (53-28-4) returns home to play for the first time since April 20th — and they have played 21 of their last 27 home games Under the Total after being on the road for at least seven days. The Under is also 31-15-5 in the Oilers’ last 51 games after a win. Being led by Connor McDavid gives this team the aura of a high-flying bunch of skaters, but unlike the young and talented Toronto Maple Leafs who lost in the first-round of the playoffs while playing high-scoring games, head coach Todd McClellan has his team playing tight defensive hockey. In defeating San Jose in six games last round, the Oilers scored just 2.0 Goals-Per-Game. Back at home, the Under is 34-16-8 in their last 58 games — and the Under is 23-9-4 in their last 36 home games against teams with a losing record on the road.

At 3:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (55) and the Ottawa Senators (56). New York (52-32-8) lost the opening game of this series on Thursday with their 2-1 loss to the Senators. Now facing the prospects of returning home down 0-2 in this series, this Rangers team will be playing with desperation. New York has lost two straight games to the Senators after their 3-1 loss back on April 8th in the closing days of the regular season. Expect this Rangers team with plenty of firepower to amp up their aggressiveness. Head coach Alain Vigneault can roll four forward lines — and three of those lines are quite potent as they helped elevate this team to being 4th in the league by scoring 3.1 Goals-Per-Game. All four lines features at least one player that scored at least 20 goals during the regular season. The Rangers have played 14 of their last 19 road gams Over the Total when playing with double-revenge. This team has also played 6 straight games Over the Total when playing with double-revenge and failing to score more than one goal in either game. Furthermore, in games with the Total set at 5 or less, when the road team is both playing with double-revenge and comes off a loss on the road, these games finished Over the Total in 91 of the last 131 situations (70%) where these conditions applied.
Ottawa (49-31-6) peppered Henrik Lundqvist with 43 shots on net in Game One. Head coach Guy Boucher wants at least another 40 shots on goal in this contest as well as he thinks it is the only way to beat the Swedish superstar. The Senators started fast by generating 21 shots on goal in the first period on Thursday. Boucher is leaning heavily on his top two defensive pairs — and a key to this series is whether or not the Rangers’ forward depth will force him to resort to using his third defensive pair for extensive periods of time. Expect the Rangers to play fast and physical to wear down the Senators top two blue lines. Lastly, because the Senators score 2.6 Goals-Per-Game while New York allows 2.6 Goals-Per-Game, the Over is supported by a second empirical angle that has been 72% effective over the last five seasons. Ottawa has not played an Over in four straight games — and in games with the Total set at 5 or less, when the home team has not played an Over in two straight games who score 2.5-2.9 Goals-Per-Game now faces a team that allows 2.5-2.9 Goals-Per-Game, these games then finished Over the Total in 59 of the last 82 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New York Rangers (55) and the Ottawa Senators (56).

At 8:05 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the St. Louis Blues (2). Nashville (45-29-12) enters this series after a surprising 4-0 sweep over the Chicago Blackhawks in the opening round of the playoffs. That series ended last Thursday — expect the time off to negatively impact the timing for this team on offense. As it is, the Under is 3-0-4 in the Predators’ last 7 games after a win. While their top line of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson is as good as any in the league, this team does experience big drop-off after that. James Neal anchors the second line — but he had only one assist and zero goals in Round One. But this Nashville defense should be outstanding once again tonight. The Predators enjoy two elite defensive pairings with Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis along with P.K. Subban and Matthias Ekholm. They held the potent Blackhawks offense that averaged 31 shots per game in that series to just three combined goals. Of course, goalie Pekka Rinne had something to do with that as well — he had a spectacular .976 save percentage along with a 0.70 Goals-Against-Average in that series. Moving forward, the Under is 4-1-2 in Nashville’s last 7 games on the road.
St. Louis (49-30-7) has won seven of their last eight games after taking care of business against the Wild with a 4-3 win on Saturday. The Blues have played 5 straight games Under the Total after a win. Despite wining that series in five games, this St. Louis team struggled to score goals as they found the back of the net only 11 times. Even more worrisome is the lack of productivity of their forwards. When accounting for the three goals coming from defensemen as well as one empty-netter, the Blues forwards only beat Chicago’s Corey Crawford seven times in five games. Now they have to face a very challenging 1-3-1 zone defense meant to clog things up in the neutral zone. St. Louis dominated Minnesota because of the play of Jake Allen who faced 36.4 shots per game but still posted a 1.47 GAA along with a .956 save percentage to lead the way in that series. Moving forward, the Under is 5-1-2 in the Blues’ last 8 games at home. And in their last 23 games against Western Conference opponents, the Under is 16-4-3. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (1) and the St. Louis Blues (2).

The Under is then 9-3-5 in the Canadiens’ last 17 games after scoring two goals or less. The Montreal offense has also been hit with a tough injury as Andrew Shah will be out for tonight’s game after suffering an upper body injury in overtime on Thursday. The Canadiens will be facing a very hot goaltender in Henrik Lundqvist who has a sizzling .944 save percentage in this series. Now Montreal goes on the road to Madison Square Garden — and the Under is 15-3-3 in their last 21 games on the road. The Under is also 8-1-3 in the Canadiens’ last 12 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Lastly, the Under is 19-6-6 in Montreal’s last 31 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
New York (51-31-8) has failed to convert on any of their fourteen Power Plays in this series. The Canadiens’ Carey Price has been just as effective as Lundqvist as he has allowed only ten goals in this series just like the Rangers have allowed. The Under is now 6-1-1 in New York’s last 8 games against Eastern Conference opponents. The Rangers have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total at home against teams with a winning record on the road. Lastly, in the last 32 games between these two teams in Madison Square Garden, the Under is 19-7-6. 25* NHL 1st Round Playoff Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Montreal Canadiens (51) and the New York Rangers (52).

At 7:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Columbus Bluejackets (3) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (4). Pittsburgh (54-21-6) must improve their effort on defense after losing their first game in this series by a 5-4 score to the Bluejackets on Tuesday. With a 3-1 series lead, the Penguins look to close out this series tonight and not give this physical Columbus team any signs of life. This team also needs to shore things up on their blue-line when considering that they will have to defend their Stanley Cup Championship without their top defenseman Kris Letang. As it is, the Under is 3-1-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 5 games after allowing at least five goals in their last game. And while the Penguins allowed two goals in the third period on Tuesday, they have then played 12 of their last 17 games after allowing two goals or less in their last game. Furthermore, the Under is 3-0-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 4 home games against teams with a winning record on the road.
Columbus (50-28-6) has seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a victory. The Under is also 8-1-1 in the Bluejackets’ last 10 road games —and this includes playing 5 of their last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. Look for goalie Sergei Bobrovksy who has a rough 3.61 Goals-Against-Average along with an .891 save percentage in this series. Remember, he entered the postseason as the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy after securing a .933 save percentage in the regular season. And despite the high-scoring affair on Tuesday, the Under remains 7-3-2 in Columbus’ last 12 games against Metropolitan Division opponents. 25* NHL 1st Round Metropolitan Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Columbus Bluejackets (3) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (4).

At 10:35 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Calgary Flames (85) and the Anaheim Ducks (86). Anaheim (47-23-13) took the opening game of this series on Thursday with their 3-2 victory over the Flames. This game entered the third period at that score before both teams failed to score in the final 20 minutes of play. The Ducks peppered Calgary’s Brian Elliott with 41 shots on net to secure their three goals. They have now scored at least three goals in five straight games — and they have then played 14 of their last 19 games Over the Total after scoring at least three goals in three straight games. Anaheim has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game.
Calgary (45-34-4) have not won a game in Anaheim since 2006. Elliott communicated before this series started that his team needed to win one of the first two games of this series to have a chance to upset the five-time defending Pacific Division Champions in this series. Expect the Flames to play very aggressively and with desperation in this game — and that should help achieve our Over one way or another. The Over is 1-0-3 in Calgary’s last 4 games after a game where they failed to score more than two goals. This Flames team simply cannot rely too much on Elliott who now has a 3.59 Goals-Against-Average in his last four playoff games. And in his last nine games against the Ducks, Elliott has a 3.59 GAA. Furthermore, Elliott was saddled with a 2.85 GAA along with an .897 save percentage on the road during the regular season — so we are fully expecting for Anaheim to score at least three or four goals in this contest. Moving forward, the Over is 5-2-3 in the Ducks’ last 19 games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, because Calgary has lost four straight games to the Ducks, the Over is supported by an empirical angle that has been 82% effective over the last five seasons. In games with the Total is set at 5 or less, when the road team comes off a loss on the road and his now playing with at least triple revenge versus their opponent, these games finished Under the Total in 36 of the last 44 situations where these conditions applied. 25* NHL 1st Round Pacific Division Playoff Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Calgary Flames (85) and the Anaheim Ducks (86).

At 8:05 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (13) and the Chicago Blackhawks (14). Nashville (41-29-12) entered this season with question marks regarding their offense with a big drop-off in forward scoring depth after Filip Forsberg and James Neal. Viktor Arviddson stepped up by scoring 31 goals and adding 30 assists to give Peter Laviolette’s team more punch. But Ardividdson plays on the same line with Forsberg and center Ryan Johansen which affords Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville to counter with his master defenseman Duncan Keith against that potent forward line. With the suspect depth of this Predators’ forward group further challenged with both Colin Wilson and Calle Jarnkrok questionable with injuries, this Nashville team cannot get into a high scoring affair with the Blackhawks. Expect the Predators to lean heavily on their outstanding blue line which features four elite defenders led by P.K. Subbing and Roman Josi. The team needs their goalie Pekka Rinne to step up as well in these playoffs — and they can be encouraged by his 1.98 Goals-Against-Average and .932 save percentage over the last thirteen games of the regular season. The Under is 3-1-3 in Nashville’s last 7 games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals. The Under is also 3-1-1 in the Predators’ last 5 games on the road. And in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record, the Under is 5-1-1. Furthermore, Nashville will be looking to avenge a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks at home back on March 4th — and they have played 17 of their last 24 games Under the Total when avenging a loss by at least two goals to their opponent.
Chicago (50-23-9) has played a decisive 40 of their last 62 games at home Under the Total with the Total set at 5.5. And while the Predators raised their scoring average this season to 2.90 Goals-Per-Game after averaging 2.73 Goals-Per-Game last season, the Blackhawks have played 27 of their last 42 games Under the Total against teams that score at least 2.85 Goals-Per-Game. This team has been outstanding since the beginning of the new year as they are 27-12-4 since January 1st. But there are some vulnerabilities. Chicago is second to last by winning only 47.5% of their face-offs and they are 24th in the league with a Power Play Kill Unit that is successful just 77.4% of the time. The Predators strategy will likely be puck possession, controlled play while looking for great scoring chances and drawing penalties. There are depth issues with the Blackhawks after their first two lines of great forwards. And it is tough to beat their goalie Corey Crawford at home where he enjoys a 2.24 GAA and a .928 save percentage. Lastly, the Under is 4-1-1 in Chicago’s last 6 games when playing with at least three days of rest. 25* NHL 1st Round Central Division Total of the Year with the Under the Total in the game between the Nashville Predators (13) and the Chicago Blackhawks (14).

At 7:30 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (51) and the Montreal Canadiens (52). Expect a playoff atmosphere in Montreal tonight in this contest — and that should result in a higher reliance on fundamental defense and more physical play. Tampa Bay (40-37-7) remains alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race after their big 4-1 win in Toronto last night. The Lightning need to win out tonight and in their final regular season contest on Sunday while getting some help — but it certainly remains possible. Tampa Bay has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a victory — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after allowing two goals or less in their last game. The Under is also 6-1-1 in the Lightning’s last 8 games when playing without a day of rest. They turn to goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy who was outstanding last night by stopping 26 of the 27 shots he has faced. The Russian goaltender has a 2.01 Goals-Against-Average and .940 save percentage in three pressured-packed games this month. He has also been better on the road where he has a 2.44 GAA and .924 save percentage as compared to his 2.78 GAA and .911 save percentage when at home. The Lightning has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when on the road. This team is missing pieces on offense with Tyler Johnson questionable with a lower body injury and Steven Stamkos declaring that he will not be able to come back from his injury until the playoffs. Additionally, Tampa Bay has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against fellow Atlantic Division opponents.
Montreal (46-25-7) has won the Atlantic Division so they are preparing themselves for the intensity of playoff hockey that starts next Wednesday. They look to bounce-back from a 2-1 loss in Buffalo on Wednesday — and the Under is 12-3-4 in their last 19 games after allowing two goals or less in their last game. The Canadiens have some injuries on their blue line with most notably Shea Weber questionable with a lower body injury. But this team still has Carey Price between the pipes — and he has been stellar at home ice with a 2.03 GAA along with a .931 save percentage this season. Even undermanned with their defensive corps, Claude Julien will want his team to emphasize defensive tactics in preparation for the playoffs at the expense of taking chances on offense. That is the luxury a team has with an elite goalie like Price — and Julien knows this with his time with the Bruins where he won a Stanley Cup with Tuuka Rask in goal. Furthermore, the Under is 7-2-2 in Montreal’s last 11 games at home. And in their last 7 home games against teams with a losing record on the road, the Under is 5-1-1. Lastly, the Under is 5-1-1 in the Canadiens’ last 7 games against Atlantic Division foes. 25* NHL Atlantic Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Tampa Bay Lightning (51) and the Montreal Canadiens (52).

At 9:00 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks (19) and the Colorado Avalanche (20). Chicago (50-22-6) looks to bounce-back from their 3-2 loss at home against Boston on Sunday. The Blackhawks have played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a loss by one goal on their home ice. The Over is also 26-10-15 in Chicago’s last 51 games after scoring two goals or less in their last game. Now the Blackhawks go on the road where the Over is 16-6-4 in their last 26 games. The Over is also 9-2-2 in their last 13 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on home ice. It looks like backup goalie Scott Darling will be between the pipes tonight. While Darling has a strong 2.15 Goals-Against-Average and .932 save percentage at home, those numbers rise to a 2.52 GAA and .914 save percentage when on the road this season. Furthermore, the Over is 11-2-3 in the Blackhawks’ last 16 games against fellow Central Division opponents.
Colorado (21-54-2) is playing out the string after their 5-2 loss in Minnesota on Sunday. The Avalanche have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. They turn to Calvin Pickard between the pipes tonight after he allowed four goals on just sixteen shots in that game. That subpar effort came after a weak month of March where he had a 2.90 GAA along with a .905 save percentage. On home ice, Pickard has just a 2.71 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Colorado has played 4 of their last 5 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. The Avalanche has also played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% overall. Furthermore, Colorado has now played 6 straight games Over the Total in the month of April. And in their last 9 games against Central Division opponents, the Avalanche has played 7 of these games Over the Total. Lastly, in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in Colorado, the Over is 3-1-1. 25* NHL Central Division Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks (19) and the Colorado Avalanche (20).

At 10:35 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Arizona Coyotes (21) and the Los Angeles Kings (22). Los Angeles (37-33-3) staved off elimination from the playoff race earlier today when Nashville lost in St. Louis by a 4-1 score. So while the Kings need to win out in their rest of their five games — and the Predators must lose their remaining three contests — this proud organization remains alive in the Western Conference playoff hunt so expect a top notch performance from them tonight. Los Angeles has won two straight games after their 2-0 shutout win in Vancouver on Friday. That came on the heels of their surprising 4-1 win in Calgary on Wednesday (well, it was surprising to us who had the Flames in that game). These Kings are playing physical, tough defense buoyed by the fact that they have their elite goaltender Jonathan Quick back on the ice playing exceptional hockey. Quick retains a sensational 1.56 Goals-Against-Average along with a .938 save percentage in his seven starts at home in the Staples Center this season. Moving forward, the Kings have played 11 of their last 14 games Under the Total after not allowing more than one goal in two straight games. The Under is also 19-8-11 in their last 38 games after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Additionally, the Under is both 3-1-1 in their last 5 games on home ice as well as a decisive 58-26-15 in their last 99 games at home against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. Furthermore, not only have the Kings played 4 straight Unders when playing with one day of rest but they have also seen the Under go 21-7-10 in their 38 situations where they were playing their fourth game in six days. And in their last 59 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% overall, the Under is 37-14-8.
Arizona (28-41-7) scored a season-high six goals on Friday in their upset 6-3 win over the Capitals. The Under is then 4-1-1 in their last 6 games after a victory as well as 5-1-1 in their last 7 games after a game where they found the back of the net at least five times. This team does look to get Mike Smith back between the pipes tonight after he has battled an illness. The veteran enjoyed his second best month of the season in March where he posted a 2.91 GAA along with a .911 save percentage. This team is a defense-first club behind their rock on the blue line in Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Scoring is usually the problem for this young team has they had only scored one goal in four straight games before their offensive explosion versus the Capitals. Now the Coyotes go on the road where the Under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games. Furthermore, not only is the Under 39-19-11 in their last 69 games against fellow Pacific Division opponents but this team has also played 4 straight games Under the Total against Western Conference foes. 25* NHL Pacific Division Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Arizona Coyotes (21) and the Los Angeles Kings (22).

At 7:35 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Sabres (63) and the Montreal Canadiens (64). Buffalo (20-19-4) is getting outstanding play from Evander Kane whose emergence from a load of potential can makes this a dangerous team in the second half of the season. Kane has produced 9 points over his last nine games before the All-Star break last weekend. The Sabres have played 4 straight games when playing with at least three days off. The Over is also 6-0-1 in Buffalo’s last 7 games on the road which includes a 3-1-1 mark against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on home ice. Goalie Robin Lehner has a 2.57 Goals-Against-Average along with a .921 save percentage — but those marks decline to a 2.75 GAA along with a .917 save percentage when on the road. Furthermore, the Over is 3-1-1 in the Sabres’ last 5 games against Eastern Conference opponents.
Montreal (29-14-6) entered the All-Star break having lost two of their last three games with a 3-1 loss in New York against the Islanders. The Canadiens have then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Additionally, the Over is 4-0-1 in Montreal’s last 5 games against Eastern Conference opponents. This team returns home to begin the second-half of the season where the Over is 5-1-2 in their last 8 games. Lastly, don’t be surprised if the Power Play plays a key role in this game finishing Over the Total. The Sabres convert on 22.5% of their Power Plays — and the Canadiens have played 16 of their last 21 games in the second-half of the season Over the Total against teams that convert at least 17.5% of their Power Plays. And while Montreal has a suspect Power Play Kill Unit that allows their opponents to convert 19.9% of their Power Plays, the Sabres have played 7 of their last 8 road games Over the Total against teams with a Power Play Kill of 19% or worse. 25* NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Sabres (63) and the Montreal Canadiens (64).
