NHL Playoff Slapshot – May 14th

GAME SEVENS, WHO WE GOT?  I have series long bets riding on each of these games tonight that need Carolina, Tampa and Edmonton to all win.  So those are my rooting interests tonight and I have strong confidence in each of them.

GAME THOUGHTS

BRUINS at HURRICANES

If this is a high scoring game then Boston wins it, but I just don’t see that happening.  Carolina has been good at home for years now and has controlled the home games as well.  Look for them to put this game away early.

Bets:

  • Carolina ML -140
  • Under 5.5

LIGHTNING at MAPLE LEAFS

A lot will look to stack the game after this in DFS and yeah, the Oilers/Kings game looks great on paper but this is the spot tonight.  I don’t see this being some 1-0 drawn out game that goes 4 OT, but I do see it going to Overtime with Ondrej Palat (or a Tampa LW) putting the winning goal in to send the Leafs fans home crying.

BETS:

  • Tampa ML
  • Over 6.5

KINGS at OILERS

Speed, Speed, Speed.  Can the Oilers speed play disciplined and under control?  If Edmonton wins, they get goals from the blue line today.

BETS:

  • Oilers -1.5
