NHL Game 6 Betting Predictions April 25

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t been able to get my predictions written up here on the site, but today I have some time, I’ve done the research and I really like a winner for each of tonights game six matchups.

Pittsburgh Penguins @ Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa gave the Penguins a wake up call in game 5 with an impressive 8-2 shellacking, chasing Fleury out of the net after 4 goals and continuing to run the score up against Brent Johnson.  Pittsburgh has been the better team for the majority of the series and I do not expect one bad game to affect this very experienced playoff team.  Fleury should be back in net tonight and on top of his game.  The Penguins still outshot the Lightning in Saturdays game, but it is expected that the Penguins will need more opportunities to put the puck in the back of the net than a Lightning team that includes many top scorers in the league.  The Penguins will bounce back tonight and outplay the Lightning in order to prevent a game 7.

Prediction: Pittsburgh Penguins +120

San Jose Sharks @ Los Angeles Kings

This has been a very interesting series with a lot of ups and downs for both teams.  The Sharks came into the series as the biggest favourite in any of the 8 series, mainly because the Kings had lost Anze Kopitar near the end of the season and the Sharks had a tremendous last third of the season.  If the Sharks can score first tonight they should be able to hold on to win the series.  The Sharks have been letting themselves get behind in games early, which has caused them to lose their 2 games in the series.  They are lucky to be up in the series at the moment because their remarkable comeback from 4-0 down in game 3 was a minor miracle.  If the Sharks can score early or even just prevent the Kings from scoring early they will win this game.

Prediction: San Jose Sharks -130
