Earlier in the season the Nashville Predators looked dead with no chance at making the playoffs. I expected them to fire their head coach and be in the basement of the NHL. Halfway through March though, the Preds turned it around and caught fire going 13-3 from March 15th to April 13th and ended the season in the fourth seed in the Central Division. They … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2021 Series Preview: Hurricanes vs. Predators

The Battle of Florida kicks off the Central Division playoffs as the #2 seed Florida Panthers face off against their in state rival #3 seed Tampa Bay Lightning for Game 1 tonight. The defending Stanley Cup Champion Bolts had a decent season going 36-17-3 without two of their star players Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos. Per head coach Jon Cooper, Kuch and Stammer are back … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2021 Series Preview: Panthers vs. Lightning

Last night the 2021 NHL Playoffs began in the East as the Caps beat the Bruins 3-2 in overtime. Today another three series start off as well as another meaningless North Division game. Game 1: Penguins vs. Islanders (12:00) I think the Penguins win this series as I wrote up in my preview of the series. In addition to the futures I added on Pittsburgh, … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 5/16/21

Vegas was my top pick going into this season to win the Stanley Cup. They were in the driver’s seat the full season up until the last couple games of the year to win the President’s Trophy as the top seed in all of hockey. Colorado ended up catching up with them to take first place so the Knights are seeded #2 in the West, … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2021 Series Preview: Golden Knights vs. Wild

Last night the 2021 NHL Playoffs began with the other series in the East as the Caps beat the Bruins 3-2 in overtime. Today at noon, the other East Division series starts off in Pittsburgh as the #1 seed Penguins take on the New York Islanders. The Penguins crushed the Islanders in the regular season, winning six of the eight games that these teams have … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2021 Series Preview: Penguins vs. Islanders

Although the regular season hasn’t ended for the North and there’s a game there today, what really matters is the playoffs start tonight! Breaking it all down! Note: I’ll go in depth on my new Penguins bets with a full series preview like I did on the Caps/Bruins series.  Oilers vs. Canucks (3:30) The Oilers finish off their regular season today against Vancouver before they … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 5/15/21

Tonight the puck drops on the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the first series to start (despite the North Division still playing regular season games for another few days) is the #2 seed Washington Capitals vs. the #3 seed Boston Bruins out of the East.  On the regular season, these teams are tied with four wins each. Three of the four Caps wins were decided by … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2021 Series Preview: Capitals vs. Bruins

Last night the Colorado Avalanche clinched the President’s Trophy and the West Division with their 5-1 win over the Kings. All the playoff matchups are set for the NHL’s first round as the puck drops on the road to the Stanley Cup tomorrow! Jets vs. Maple Leafs (8:00) Both of these playoff teams in the North close out their regular season tonight as they await … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 5/14/21

As the regular season ends for the West Division tonight, Colorado can win the President’s Trophy with a win tonight. The other two games tonight mean nothing. Blues vs. Wild (8:00) Last night Ville Husso got his first career shutout in a 4-0 win over the Wild to win the season series against them. The Blues are 5-2 against Minnesota this season. I think Minny’s … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 5/13/21

Really the only thing up for grabs in the NHL tonight is the chance for Colorado and Vegas to win the President’s Trophy and the important first place seed in the West. The other three games tonight are meaningless. Canadiens vs. Oilers (5:00) This game between these two playoff teams is meaningless with Montreal locked into the 4 seed to play Toronto in the first … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 5/12/21
