The Montreal Canadiens jump out into a 3-2 lead in the series, and now head home where they will hope to bury Tampa.
It was one game too far for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Props to them on a good comeback in that series to at least stop from being swept.
Knights/Mammoth had a heck of a game with Vegas taking the lead in that series as they head to Utah.
It was another great betting night! Loving these playoffs so far. Player props absolutely crushing it. They can be very high variance however so don’t get too confident with it all.
Two games today:
Wild vs Stars Game 6 Betting Tips:
Scott: After losing 2 games in a row the Wild have now won the last 2 and have a 3-2 series lead. Game 5 had an empty net goal so the multiple goal win isn’t as impressive.
With games 3 and 4 needing overtime I’m nervous about picking a winner here as this series can easily go either way. I had picked the Wild to win the series and I still like that so with them at home I’m going that route.
Wild win incl OT

Graeme: Who won last time? Wild? Okay well I guess we bet the Stars.
I mean that’s my mentality with how this series is going. And they are slight dogs so it feels like a +EV bet.
Both games in Minnesota went to OT so I mean yeah – why not. No deep thought for me on this one happy to go with the zig/zag rule. Stars incl OT

Ducks vs Oilers Game 6 Betting Tips:
Scott: Draisaitl scored twice, Bouchard had 3 assists and McDavid managed to play and had 2 assists and the Oilers managed to stay alive in game 5. Edmonton is now 18-3 when scoring first in a game when facing elimination.
With that win surely the Oilers will have some momentum going their way they also chased Dostal from the net after he allowed 3 goals on 9 shots. They have played the most playoff games in the NHL since 2022 with 80. Sure that would tire a team out but I think it will more so as the playoffs go on. At this point I look at it more as having more experience than miles.
Oilers win incl OT
Graeme: Definitely agree with Scott; I feel the Oilers really turned the corner with that last game. It was such a fast start and the Ducks couldn’t handle them. I expect similar tonight. Oilers win incl OT
