The first round of the NHL playoffs is done and dusted after 2 major upsets.
The Nashville Predators were the 2nd biggest underdogs(next to the Leafs) to progress to the next round at 2.75 odds but they did it in spectacular fashion with a sweep of the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Ottawa Senators were 2.59 odds to progress and they did so.
The New York Rangers were the only other underdog that made it. They were at 2.23 odds which in hindsight was probably a really good price.
We’re now down to just 8 teams. Predators take on the Blues and the Oilers take on the Ducks with those games beginning on Wednesday. Then on Thursday we’ve got the Rangers vs Senators and Penguins vs Capitals.
Bookies believe 3 of the series will be tight, but that the New York Rangers should have no problem with the Ottawa Senators.
We’ll be providing betting tips for the series beginning tomorrow. In the meantime we’ve did the hard work and got the best odds for you for the playoff series.
