We got off to a great start with the betting tips in the conference finals, as we went 2-0 with our NHL Bets.
As expected, the Kings vs Blackhawks game was a low scoring game. We tipped under 5 goals at 2.3 odds for that game and it was a huge win and went under with ease.
In the other game we had a goal before 9:30 in Penguins vs Bruins. Honestly we expected Penguins would get it but it ended up being the Bruins, who just destroyed Pittsburgh.
So tonight, one game which is Game 2 of the Kings vs Blackhawks series, with Chicago leading 1-0. Unlike the regular season where we provided 3 tips per day we’ll most likely be doing just one tip per game.
If you’re someone who bets via Pro-line or sport select and are restricted to 3 bets – yeah don’t do that. It’s a suckers bet, PLUS the odds are terrible compared to online.

Let’s get on with the tips for the LA Kings vs Blackhawks series:
Kings vs Blackhawks Betting Tips: Over 5 Goals
We went with under 5 goals yesterday and today we’re switching things around and going with over 5 goals.
We expect this series to be mixed – some games with well under 5 goals and a few high scoring games and we like this to be one of those high scoring games.
Both teams are a lot more familiar with each other – and Game 2s are notorious for lots of goals. In their previous Game 2s, Blackhawks won 5-2 then lost 4-1. In Game 2, with a lead, we see the Hawks come out a lot more aggressively and offensively. Sometimes it works well like against Minnesota – other times, well we saw what happened against Detroit.
LA meanwhile really need to break their “duck”. it’s fine winning every game at home, but when you don’t have home advantage you gotta win on the road. That’s what they need to do here – pick up a big road win. They’re going to be risking a lot more here knowing that Blackhawks are beatable at home, and that this is the perfect time to do it.
We’ve got great odds of 2.35 on the over at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv so jump right on that. At the very least this one should be a push, and hopefully a nice little win to continue our run.
