In this article we’re going to cover the series between the Flyers vs Capitals, Wild vs Stars and Sharks vs Kings.
We already covered Red Wings vs Lightning, Rangers vs Penguins and Blackhawks vs Blues yesterday.
Tomorrow we will be covering the final two series which is Islanders vs Panthers and Predators vs Ducks.
Just a reminder as we’ve been getting a lot of questions. We will have no tips for Game 1 of any of the series. You should be able to get a general idea of what we are thinking based on our series predictions.
When we do our tips from Game 2 onwards, we’ll be providing betting tips without any reference to our series bets. That way if you didn’t bet the series bets we did the tips will still be helpful for you. It also helps accomodate any new readers who come here looking for tips.
Flyers vs Capitals Betting Tips:
Graeme: Will this be the year of the Capitals? Over the past few years during the regular season and playoffs they’ve showed how good they are – but also how bad they can be. This season however they’ve looked amazing – although I did enjoy that period near the end of the season where they gave teams a goal start seemingly, before coming back and winning.
I just think the Capitals are the team to beat this year and if anyone deserves to win the cup, it’s them. Props to the Flyers for making it here but the Capitals should be able to deciminate them nice and early and get some much needed rest. I think complacency will set in once though. Capitals in 5.
Scott: The season series was a 2-2 tie.
The Flyers were in a fight right up until the final games to make the postseason. They had a decent 2nd half and do have some great players who can take over games.
The Capitals were the best team in the league this year and by a wide margin. The lead the East in goals scored and gave up the least. Ovechkin had yet a other 50 goal season and staring goalie Braden Holtby had and an incredible season. Holtby tied Brodeur’s record for wins in a season with 48 and did it needing 12 less games.
The Caps were already a strong team and they went out and added some good pieces which will push them far in the playoffs. I could see this being a sweep but with the passing of Flyers owner Ed Snider the Flyers will make this more competitive as they pay respect in the only way the can.
Caps in 5

Thanks for the insights guys. I agree with you across the board and have the Kings in game 6 or 7
thanks for the tips. unfortunately i can’t find series bets at pinnacle. could you please tell me how to find them?
Yeah it took us a bit to find it too 🙂
Left side menu under Specials, click Hockey. There it lists “NHL” which is a bunch of props and then “NHL Series Prices” which is what you’re looking for.
Hi G/S, many thanks for the insights!! Do you think it’s possible to post your tips earlier?
BR
Well the series tips are all posted at least a day earlier and bar the odd day, the daily tips are posted before 11am EST I don’t think it’s possible to post earlier than that 🙂
I’m gonna avoid the Kings and the Sharks , but I’m leaning towards the Kings
