8 games yesterday. The mess in the East still hasn’t been decided.
The Rangers beat the Sens 4-0 and with the win they won the Presidents Trophy. The Isles beat the Devils 4-1 and are locked into 3rd place in the Metro. The Habs were up 4-1 late in the 2nd but the Wings scored the next 3 goals to tie it at 4-4 and force overtime where the Wings won 5-4 for a huge win.
The Penguins beat the Predators 4-2 and are still alive. The Sabres beat the Lightning 4-2 to end their season with a win. The Caps beat the Bruins 2-0 to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Oilers beat the Sharks 9-2 and McDavid became the 4th player in NHL history to record 100+ assists in a season.
8 more games tonight.
Canes vs Jackets Betting Tips:
Last game of the season for the Canes. They are locked in 2nd place in the Metro and have nothing to gain or lose here. I wouldn’t be surprised if they rested some players.
The Jackets have been eliminated for a while now and are on a 4 game losing skid.
Wings vs Canadiens Betting Tips:
These teams played each other yesterday so not touching this game. It went to overtime and the Wings erased a 3 goal deficit so they should have the momentum.
Senators vs Bruins Betting Tips:
The Sens played yesterday and this is their last game of the season.
The Bruins also played yesterday and this too is their last game. A win here would win them the Atlantic Divison.
Capitals vs Flyers Betting Tips:
Big game here. This is the last game of the regular season for both teams.
The Caps played, and won, yesterday and are currently in the 2nd wild card spot. If they win this game they grab the final wild card spot.
The Flyers are in 11th place and they have no choice but to win here or they are out.
Leafs vs Panthers Betting Tips:
Big game here. This could be a preview of things to come.
The Leafs are locked in 3rd, this is the Panthers last game and they are in 2nd. The Bruins lost yesterday so the Panthers have a shot at passing them in the standings depending on the outcome of the Bruins vs Sens tonight.
It would have been great if Matthews got to 70 goals in the last game then they could have rested him. This could be a rough game.
Kraken vs Jets Betting Tips:
The Kraken have dropped their last 3 games.
The Jets can lock up 2nd in the Central with a win here. They have 106 points in 80 games and the Avalanche have 105 in 81. They have won 6 in a row.
Blackhawks vs Knights Betting Tips:
Hawks are officially locked in 2nd last place in the league. Last game they brought up Nazar who scored in his first game in the NHL.
The Knights are chasing the Kings and are only 1 point back and have a game in hand on them. After this game they play the Ducks so they got a shot.
Flames vs Canucks Betting Tips:
Flames are out but have won 2 in a row.
The Canucks need to win this game or at least take it to overtime. If they do then they win the Pacific. They get Demko back for this game so he will be a huge help.
A lot of drama on tap tonight. The playoffs can’t arrive soon enough.
