First losing night of the second round for me yesterday, going 3-7 to lose 3.87 units. Let’s bounce back on our only NHL game tonight, Game 2 of Avalanche vs. Wild!
Game 2: Avalanche vs. Wild (8:00)
Game 1 of this series on Sunday night was a blast to watch as both teams put on a show offensively, with the Avalanche winning 9-6 at home to lead the series. The Avs started off hot, with a 3-0 lead just 13 minutes into the game, but Minnesota battled back, taking a 5-4 lead in the second period. Colorado quickly tied it up before the second ended, and with a four third period for the Avs, with Cale Makar scoring twice after coming back from injury, they got the win. Offensively, I think the Wild can hang around games with the Avs, just as they did in the regular season, but the fact that they gave up nine goals is quite the concern (not that it’s great that the Avalanche gave up six either). I like the Avs to win again here at home and I’ll take them in regulation for a unit. After that high scoring first game, I’ll jump on the over as well for 1.5 units. I hit a nice +385 parlay on Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, Cale Makar, Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, and Quinn Hughes to each get a point in Game 1, and I’ll go right back to that six leg parlay for another half unit tonight. I’ll also individually take Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas (couldn’t believe the price on this being +230, especially after a three point night for him in Game 1) to each get over 1.5 points for a half unit each, and I’ll go back to Quinn Hughes to get an assist for half a unit.
