GAME THOUGHTS
TAMPA vs TORONTO
Tampa just got absolutely destroyed and should come out with a better approach tonight as I still think they win this series, but the clock could be ticking on the back to back Champions. Look for a close game with the Lightning getting a goal from the Cirelli-Killorn-Point line and possibly a second.
Tampa wins 3-2
BOSTON vs CAROLINA
This series however should shift to 2-0. The Hurricanes are my pick to represent the Eastern Conference in the Cup Finals and they’re going to make easy work of Boston. Carolina should jump them early and cruise to a 4-0 win tonight as I like Antii Ranta as our DFS goalie.
ST LOUIS vs MINNESOTA
After the Blues jumped the Wild in game 1, this is a spot I believe will shift to 2-0 as the Blues just own the Wild overall and it will be hard for Minnesota to break that right now in my mind as the Wild seem to have one style of play in them and the Blues PP is once again going to get it done.
LA vs EDMONTON
Edmonton wins and I just don’t see with the other configuration of players on this slate who we are riding above McDavid and/or Draisaitl tonight. Yes, AM34 is going to be popular and there’s good reason to play him and one of these guys with value spots elsewhere, but I am starting with the Oilers as they should hammer the Kings to make it 1-1.

Antii Ranta – Carolina
Coming off a strong 34 save performance in game 1, lets go right back to Raanta as the Hurricanes to me are far better than Boston, and when they are at home they will easily control the game.
