Last night the Devils once again evened their Eastern Conference series with the New York Rangers which means that the series is now a best of 3. The Rangers have been unable to gain a stranglehold in any of their playoff series thus far and this will be the third time in these playoffs they are tied at 2 a piece after 4 games. I was away at a cottage for the long weekend, which is why I didn’t get any predictions up over that time. My NHL playoff prediction record now sits at (27-25) for +4.28 units.
Los Angeles Kings @ Phoenix Coyotes
The Kings are putting their perfect playoff road record on the line tonight as they head to Phoenix for game 5 up 3-1 in the series. The Coyotes pulled out a win in game 4 to stave off elimination, but the Kings were once again the better team and if it wasn’t for Mike Smith standing on his head and Shane Doan getting some timely goals this series would already be over. The Kings are only slight favourites in this game, but they way they have been playing and how they have dominated the Coyotes in this series I think they should be bigger favourites to end this series tonight. The Kings bounced back after their only previous NHL playoffs lost (game 4 against Vancouver) and I expect them to do the same tonight. Look for this series to end and the Kings to head to the Stanley Cup Finals after tonights game.
