NHL Playoff Slapshot – May 6th

GAME THOUGHTS

CAROLINA vs BOSTON

I stand by my pick that Carolina represents the East in the Cup and they cruise through Boston but tonight could  be that one game they lose and so Bergeron-Marchand-Pastrnak really stands out as a top play.  I expect this game to go over.

Boston wins 4-2

TORONTO vs TAMPA

Tampa is about to go up 3-1 in this series, so yes, they are cruising tonight and Vasilevskiy delivers a gem.

Tampa wins 2-0

MINNESOTA vs ST LOUIS

The Wild are better in my mind and this game should be an entertaining one as it has already in the first two games.  Being at home the Blues will draw another PP advantage early and use that for the win.

St. Louis wins 3-2

LA vs EDMONTON

Hardest game tonight for me to pick, I really think the Kings are going to take this to 7 games with the Oilers and for DFS they are a great stack tonight.  Question is can they keep McDavid from scoring 3 himself.

Kings win 6-4
