NHL Betting Predictions May 6th

Washington Capitals logoI was away for the weekend so I wasn’t able to get my picks up for the past two days, which is unfortunate because I hit some more winners.  That said I’m not adding those to my record for this site because you guys have to be able to verify my picks in order for the record to continue to be legit.  I went 1 for 2 on Friday, but I’m looking to get back into the positive for playoff betting with some big wins tonight.

Regular Season Record: 68-59 for +11.33 units.

Playoff Record: 3-5 for -1.72 units.

Washington Capitals @ New York Rangers

The Capitals have looked very good through the first two games and earned a big 1-0 win in overtime of game 2.  A win at Madison Square Garden would give the Caps a strangehold of this series.  The Capitals were decent on the road this season with a .500 record, while the Rangers were quite good at home winning 2/3’s of their games.  That said Holtby doesn’t look like he is going to be beaten any time soon and Ovechkin and company have come to play this series.  The Rangers can’t get anything going offensively and I like the Caps as dogs in this one.

Anaheim Ducks @ Detroit Red Wings

I expect a big bounce back game from the Red Wings tonight after they were somewhat embarrassed by the Ducks on Saturday night.  The Red Wings will miss Abdelkader who is out for 2 games, but Datsyuk and Zetterberg should be able to dig into their bag of tricks to find some offense for the team.  I just don’t see the Red Wings losing both games at the Joe.

St. Louis Blues @ Los Angeles Kings

The Blues and Kings series has been extremely tight so it is very hard to pick a winner in this one.  That said the Kings have been here before and I have more faith in Quick than I do in Elliot.  Either team could easily have won each game in this series and it is only right that it will be tied 2-2 after 4.
