It was a night of comebacks last night and both of the teams making the comebacks came out on top in their games.
First the Bruins were down 3-1 midway through the final period only to score 4 unanswered goals to win the game 5-3. The Bruins tied the series up at a game apiece and now head to Montreal for game 3.
Next it was the comeback “kings” of these playoffs to strike first in the battle of Southern California. The Los Angeles Kings Marian Gaborik scored with 7 seconds left in the third period to tie the game at 2-2. Then it was Gaborik again who scored in the first OT to give the Kings a 3-2 win and a 1-0 lead in the series. This is the fifth straight win for the Kings.
Overall we went 1-0 with a push last night so let’s try and keep winning with the NHL playoff tips for tonight’s games. We have 2 game 2’s taking place with the Wild vs Blackhawks , Hawks up 1-0, and the Rangers vs the Penguins with the Rangers up 1-0.
.
Wild vs Blackhawks: Blackhawks -1.5
The Hawks beat the Wild on Friday night thanks to big games from Kane and Bickell.
Look for the Hawks to come out flying in this game. They play great at home and would like nothing more then to head to Minnesota for game 3 up 2-0.
The Wild have all 3 of their goalies banged up right now. This is only going to help the Hawks in this game.
You can bet the Hawks win or the Hawks in regulation. But we are going for the big value bet in this one.
Bet the Blackhawks -1.5 for 2.45 odds at Bovada for Americans and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else.
Rangers vs Penguins: Penguins in Regulation
This series is going to be great. With the Rangers up 1-0 after their 3-2 win in OT in game 1 expect a better performance from the Penguins. The Pens can’t afford to go down 2-0 heading to New York.
Ya the Rangers are going to give the Pens a hard time but I still like the Penguins to win this series.

Home Goals vs Away Goals: Home -1.5
We are betting that the home teams will score -1.5 more goals then the away teams.
I think the Hawks and Penguins are winning their games today so this is an easy bet to make.

Question for you guys: when you make the regulation win bets, do you do the -1/2 (for the better payout) or the moneyline (to keep a push available)?
