06-22-21 | Canadiens +210 v. Golden Knights | 4-1 | Win | 210 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
The Canadiens lost the recent game 2-1 in overtime but their defense played another great game despite the loss. The Canadiens have only allowed 2 goals per game in each of the last three games with Jeff Petry and Joel Edmunson proving to be one of the best defensive pairings in the NHL while Shea Weber is stepping up in this series particularly on the same pairing as Ben Chiarot. Moreover, Carey Price has been incredible in the playoffs, allowing only 2.09 goals per game and saving .931 percent of shots. | |||||||
06-21-21 | Islanders +166 v. Lightning | 0-8 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The Islanders have been led by their defense all season, as the unit allows only 2.2 goals per game. The Semifinal against the Lightning has only been a testament to the defensive play as the two victories have seen the Islanders only allow three total goals as the unit are able to constantly create turnover and block shots near the net, highlighted by the incredible Ryan Pulock blocked shot to end Game Four. Aside from Ryan Pulock and Adam Pelech, the defense has no glaring weakness and gets a great boost from goaltender Semyon Varlamov, who is saving .923 percent of shots and allowing only 2.5 goals per game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. | |||||||
06-19-21 | Lightning -125 v. Islanders | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
The team finished the season ranking sixth in goals against per game and ninth in shots against per game. Andrei Vasilevskiy had a 31-10-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .925 SV% this season. He has started every playoff game and has been excellent. This is a team that can beat you in many different ways. They can outscore you and, as we've seen twice this series, can win a defensive battle as well. | |||||||
06-18-21 | Golden Knights v. Canadiens +150 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 150 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
The Canadiens have been led throughout the playoffs by their goaltender Carey Price, who has been allowing only 2.1 goals per game and is saving .930 percent of shots. In the recent victory, Price saved 29 of 31 shots and made some saves that looked like sure goals for the Golden Knights. Aside from Carey Price continuing to play great, the Canadiens defense got a great boost from Jeff Petry returning to the lineup who helped the defense create turnovers throughout the game and eliminate the Vegas offense. | |||||||
06-17-21 | Lightning -127 v. Islanders | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
Defense and goaltending were excellent for the Lightning this season and they have continued to play well in the playoffs. They gave up two goals or less in three out of six games against a high-powered Florida offense. Tampa Bay gave up two goals or less in four out of five games against the Hurricanes in round two. Goaltending was the main reason they were able to defeat the Canes in five games. They allowed two goals in games one and two against the Islanders. The team finished the season ranking sixth in goals against per game and ninth in shots against per game. Andrei Vasilevskiy had a 31-10-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .925 SV% this season. | |||||||
06-16-21 | Canadiens +228 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-2 | Win | 228 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
The Vegas Golden Knights had their way with the Montreal Canadiens in game one, but so did the Colorado Avalanche and you saw how that worked out. This will be Montreal's best effort in this series. If they don't win this one, the series is over. | |||||||
06-10-21 | Avalanche +120 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 4 m | Show |
The hope is that the backend can help compensate for the top-line struggles with Joonas Donskio and Brandon Saad both scoring in Game Five and playing well for the later lines. | |||||||
06-09-21 | Bruins -133 v. Islanders | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -133 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
You'll be getting the Bruins at their best here. Rask has something to prove, Cassidy has the officials attention, and Boston were the better team despite the loss. | |||||||
06-08-21 | Golden Knights +132 v. Avalanche | Top | 3-2 | Win | 132 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
The Avalanche scored two goals in game three and one goal in game four. The Avs finished the season ranking first in goals per game and second in shots per game. The Corsi numbers favored the Knights easy in game three and four, that means they've carried play allowing the Avalanche very little room. I don't think that changes with the Venue. | |||||||
06-06-21 | Jets +115 v. Canadiens | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
While the offense has struggled the defense has stepped up in the series, keeping the Jets in games and playing well in both the defensive zone and in the neutral zone. Derek Forbort and Neal Pionk have been able to create turnovers and force difficult puck movement at the blue line but will have to be more effective at the point to help put the Jets offense over the top. To put the unit over the top, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been incredible, saving .940 percent of shots and allowing only 1.8 goals per game to keep the Jets competitive in all their playoff games. | |||||||
06-05-21 | Bruins v. Islanders +132 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 132 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
While the offense has struggled, the defense has kept the Islanders in games, with the unit limiting the Bruins to only one goal in regulation in the recent game. The Islanders duo of Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock has been able to limit the Bruins at the blue line, cutting off their angles and making it difficult to carry the puck through the neutral zone. In addition, the duo of Semyon Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin has continued to play well with the pair of goaltenders saving .929 percent of shots and allowing only 2.54 goals per game. | |||||||
06-04-21 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights +104 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 104 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
The Vegas Golden Knights looked poised to win Game Two as they were constantly attacking the net and had control of the game. Look for those chances to hit the back of the net in front of a home crowd who is a difference maker. | |||||||
06-03-21 | Bruins v. Islanders +126 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
The offense has helped carry the team but the defense has struggled despite being one of the best units in the regular season, allowing only 2.2 goals per game. In the playoffs, the Islanders have constantly allowed shots on the net and open ice for opponents to effectively carry the puck through the neutral zone. Moreover, the Islanders must figure out who their starting goaltender will be for the playoff run with Semyon Varlamov being the established veteran but the 25-year-old Ilya Sorokin playing better than him with a .934 save percentage and allowing only 2.3 goals per game, contrasting Varlamov's .912 save percentage and 3.1 goals allowed per game. With the series evened up at one, the good news for Islander fans is that you know your team can be better. I'll take New York and the plus money at home. | |||||||
06-02-21 | Canadiens +120 v. Jets | 5-3 | Win | 120 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
The Canadiens were trailing 3-1 in the First Round to a Maple Leafs team that looked significantly better than them but were able to win three games in a row to pull off one of the more improbable upsets in Stanley Cup Playoffs history. The Canadiens were led by the strong defense with Joel Edmunson and Jeff Petry constantly creating turnovers but goaltender Carey Price on a completely different level in the last three games, allowing only six goals in the last three games including a Game Seven where he saved 30 shots and only allowed one goal in the 3-1 victory. | |||||||
06-01-21 | Lightning +102 v. Hurricanes | Top | 2-1 | Win | 102 | 12 h 44 m | Show |
The Lightning defense was struggling in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as they were constantly allowing shots on the net and playing in high-scoring games. The first game was a much-needed bounceback game for the Lightning as they only allowed one goal in the 2-1 victory. The team got great play from Victor Hedman, who blocked 8 shots in the game but Andrei Vasilenskiy led the way for the team as he saved 37 shots to give the team the win. Look for them to take a 2-0 series lead. | |||||||
05-30-21 | Lightning v. Hurricanes -103 | 2-1 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
While the Lightning offense has led the way, the defense struggled at times. The unit allowed 2.5 goals per game during the regular season but in the First Round, was constantly allowing open shots and easy scoring opportunities, allowing 4 goals or more in 3 of the 6 games. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is saving .929 percent of shots as the starting goaltender, has been vulnerable to rushes to the net and quick shots where the star goalie can't set up. | |||||||
05-27-21 | Hurricanes v. Predators +127 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
Back are against the wall at home. That's what we have in this match-up with the Predators who will figure to give everything they have to extend this series, making the plus side the right side. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Golden Knights v. Wild +117 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 117 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Playing in Minnesota has been the Golden Knights kryptonite over the years. In fact, the Wild are one of the few teams who can say they have the Knights number, winning 7 of their last 11 meetings. They one of the few teams to have a winning record home and away against Vegas. I'll take the plus money against the confident Wild who just won on the Knights home ice. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Panthers +125 v. Lightning | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
The Panthers were given a spark as 20-year-old Spencer Knight saved 36 of 37 shots to help fuel the 4-1 victory. Spencer Knight (20 years, 35 days) is the second-youngest goaltender in NHL history to win his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut, trailing only Don Beaupre (19 years, 202 days). Let's ride him here and see if he can find the magic again. | |||||||
05-26-21 | Penguins v. Islanders -103 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
In the first round, the unit has struggled and in the past three games, have allowed 11 goals to an Islanders offense that struggled over the course of the regular season despite Kris Letang and Codi Ceci constantly creating turnovers in the neutral zone. Moreover, Tristan Jarry has struggled against the Islanders forwards, allowing costly goals off of careless mistakes and only saving .905 percent of shots. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Oilers -114 v. Jets | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
The Oilers finished the season ranking seventh in goals per game and 15th in shots per game. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were first and second in the league in points. Expect both of them to play a major role in the Oilers getting on the board in this series. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Lightning v. Panthers +105 | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
While the defense has struggled, the Panthers offense has played well in this series, constantly being able to keep games close. Carter Verhaeghe and Jonathan Huberdeau have both scored twice in this series while 11 skaters have been able to find the back of the net for the Panthers, giving them depth on the offensive end of the ice to help overwhelm the Lightning defense. | |||||||
05-24-21 | Islanders +124 v. Penguins | Top | 3-2 | Win | 124 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
After losing two in a row the Islanders beat the Penguins 4-1 in the last game to even the series. While the team is one of the lower scoring teams in the league (2.23 goals per game) they have scored four goals in each of the last two games. The Penguins won Game 3 in a 5-4 thriller but then their attack was not nearly the same in the last game only scoring one goal. However, the defense has been a big issue for the team in the series giving up four goals in three of the four games. | |||||||
05-23-21 | Oilers v. Jets +118 | 4-5 | Win | 118 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
The Oilers are in an 0-2 hole in this playoff series and both of the losses came on home ice. Their attack was nearly a no-show in the first two games where they only scored one goal. That is concerning for an Edmonton team that ranked ninth in the league this season averaging 3.21 goals per game. The Jets are looking good in this series up 2-0 and their defense has been more than impressive. They won the last game 1-0 in overtime after winning the first game convincingly 4-1. | |||||||
05-23-21 | Bruins -129 v. Capitals | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show |
Ilya Samsonov made 33 saves for Washington but looked uncomfortable for stretches of the game. He struggled to hold onto his stick - losing it three times in the second period - and had to skate off a knee injury at one point but remained in the game. He faced a relentless Bruin attack on their five powerplays. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Penguins v. Islanders -110 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
This is clearly the game you would expect the best from the Islanders or this season is over. Tristen Jarry looked anything but unbeatable in game three. | |||||||
05-22-21 | Panthers v. Lightning -143 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 18 m | Show |
The Florida Panthers were outplayed in the first two games of this series and were trailing 5-3 in the third game. The Panthers came back to win game three but overall the Lightning still have dominated all three match-ups. |
