During the regular season, the Winnipeg Jets were the king of the bounce backs. However they took that one step further in the playoffs, as they bounced back during the SAME GAME.
They were 3-0 down against the Nashville Predators and ended up running out 7-4 winners in an incredible performance. What a game by the Winnipeg Jets. If they had lost there that would have been a series changer so for them to triumph like that – damn. That was a scary good performance.
Quick note that B365 actually pay out on money line bets if your team is up 3-0. So if you had bet on the Predators to win last night you would’ve actually won your bet – only at Bet365 (Americans: We recommend http://www.bovada.lv.
In the other game, the Capitals and Penguins had a really tight game with the Capitals coming back in the 3rd period and winning thanks to a late Ovechkin goal.
Two great games of hockey and we potentially have two more tonight.
The Boston Bruins host the Tampa Bay Lightning with that series tied 1-1 and Tampa needing a big road performance. The Sharks host the Knights hoping to take a tied series back to Vegas.
Bruins vs Lightning Game 3 Betting Tips:
Scott: The Lightning haven’t gotten a point from their top line of Stamkos, Kucherov and Miller. And with the series now moving to Boston they will need those three to show up. Point has been great but can’t shoulder all the offensive responsibility on a team with Stamkos and Kucherov.
The Bruins have been a strong team at home all season and will look to continue that in this game.
With the Bruins at home I give them the edge in this game
Bruins win incl OT – 1u
Graeme: Just like last nights play on the Jets, I’ll be backing Bruins at home.
Now I’m not as confident with the Bruins as I was with the Jets. While the Bruins made TD Garden a fortress in the regular season, they lost one against the Leafs 4-3 there and then they had that tight Game 7 there as well.
However the Leafs are a feisty team and Andersen was a big factor in those games. Tampa already lost once on the road in the playoffs already.
The Tampa top guys aren’t showing up and that’s obviously a concern for them but they do have solid depth and have the potential to explode over the Bruins.
However I’m going to ignore the two Leafs games for now. Tampa didn’t have a good time in Boston during the regular season and so I’ll go with Bruins to win incl OT – 1u.

Knights vs Sharks Game 4 Betting Tips:
Scott: Game 1 was a 7-0 blowout by the Knights but it has been close ever since with games 2 and 3 needing overtime.
The Knights gave away two goal leads in 2 consecutive games. And after losing in game 2 they lost home ice advantage. They will need to buckle down here and not let a veteran Sharks team back into each game.
Sharks at home so I expect a big effort from them for their home fans who witnessed a loss in game 3. The Knights have scored 14 goals over the first three games of this series and I think the offense will continue into this game
Over 5.5 incl OT – 1u

Graeme: Honestly this seems like a coin flip of a game almost however I’d slightly favour the Knights. Due to the fact that they’re underdogs and we’re getting value on a perceived coin flip, I’m fine with a small bet tonight on them. No need to really overthink it. Knights to win incl OT – 0.5u.
