Great night of betting as we went 2-1. We picked the Bruins to win and wow that was a good close game. This game needed 15 minutes of overtime for the Bruins to finally win on a Brad Marchand goal and a 1-0 lead for them in the series. We also picked the Sharks – Kings game to go over 4.5 goals which it easily did in the Kings 4-3 win. We also picked the Sharks to win but the Kings are picking up steam and and have now won 6 straight in these playoffs. Don’t look now but the Kings are looking like the team from last year that easily cruised to the Stanley Cup and lead the series 2-0.
Tonight we only have 1 game on and its the Sens vs Pens in game 2 with the Pens up 1-0 after their 4-1 win in game 1.
This game on paper looks like a walk in the park for the Penguin but as the Sens have shown through the regular season and round one of the playoffs you can never underestimate this squad. Lets hope the Sens can come out on top in this one.
So with only one game on we only have one game to get our bets from so lets do that.
Here are the NHL Betting tips for game 2 of the Senators vs Penguins:
Goal Before 9:30 of the First Period
The first game only needed 2:41 for the first goal to happen and the 2nd goal was 2 minutes after that. This game should be no different.
The Sens at times looked like a team that could not only play with the Penguins but a team that could beat them and I expect them to come with a better effort in this game.
You can bet a goal will be scored before the 9:30 mark of the 1st period at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv for 1.75 betting odds.
Highest Scoring Period: 1st Period
During the last game which ended 4-1 for the Penguins, of the 5 total goals scored 3 of them came in the first period.
With the Sens trailing in the series I see them coming out fast in this game and try to gain an early lead. With the Penguins, well its the Penguins and they like to take hold of each and every game from the opening faceoff to the final buzzer.
Bet this betting prop also at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv for 3.10 betting odds. Do this by clicking on the game then choose highest scoring period from the list of available bets.
Over 5.5 Goals
Last game reached 5 goals but now with the Sens needing a win to not go down 2-0 expect them to score more than the one goal they had in game number 1.
This Sens team is capable of putting up goals in bunches. The Penguins are the Yankees of the NHL and role out 4 lines of amazing players who can all contribute.
I would love for the Sens to win this game but I am not sure it will happen but I feel confident that this game will go over 5.5. Bet this for 2.00 betting odds at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv
