Solid night of betting as we went 2-1. Detroit scored first and the Ducks were first to 3 goals. Our loss came when the Pens/Sens game didn’t go over 5.5 goals.
Its currently a dog fight in the Eastern Conference with the Capitals, Islanders, Rangers, Senators and Jets all within 2 points of each other and all fighting to either stay in the playoffs or make them. One of these teams isn’t going to make the playoffs and its going to be interesting to see how this pans out.
4 of those teams are playing tonight the Rangers play the Panthers which shouldn’t be a challenge same for the Islanders vs Hurricanes. But the most interesting game and for sure the game of the night is the Capitals vs the Jets. Washington is leading the Southeast division and are in 3rd place with 52 points, while the Jets are in 9th place with 51 points. So if the Caps win they clinch the Southeast and 3rd place in the East. If the Jets win they jump to 3rd place, the Caps move to 7th and 8th place Ottawa moves to 9th. A bit confusing yes, but also incredible and that’s what makes the NHL playoff race so exciting.
Now the NHL Betting Tips for Tuesday April 23rd
Bruins vs Flyers: Over 5.5 Goals
This has the potential to be a rough and exciting game. The Bruins are trying to keep hold of 2nd place in the East and stay ahead of the Habs. The Flyers have now assumed the role of spoiler and would like to take out their frustrations from a terrible season on their remaining opponents.
The Bruins will probably win this game but there isn’t any money to be made there. This game will be a great back and forth battle which will have plenty of goals being scored. Head to BetOnline. and bet Over 5.5 Goals for 1.90 betting odds
Sabres vs Penguins: Sabres To Win
No I’m not crazy. Both teams played last night with the Sabes losing and the Pens winning. But the Sabres are going to start Ryan Miller so right away they have a chance. Then when you look at the status of some of the Penguins best players and then you start to wonder. Crosby , Malkin and Neal are all listed as day to day . And with the Penguins having already clinched the East and home ice advantage for the playoffs is there any rush to bring them back?
No. They should let them rest. Yes even without those superstars playing the Pens are still a better team on paper than the Sabres. But when you factor in what I mentioned above and that the odds for a Sabres win are
3.00 at 5Dimes I think its a great bet to bet against the injured Penguins
Jets vs Capitals: Capitals To Score First
There is no question that this is going to be an awesome game and one that you won’t want to miss. But who is going to win this game? I would say the Caps but the Jets have shown that they are legit this year and with so much riding on this game anything can happen.
But with the Capitals at home I suggest you head to Titan Bet and bet that the Capitals Will Score First. They have been playing fantastic hockey lately and I think that they will score first and try to set the tempo of the game and get the home crowd into it quickly
