Last nights game between the Bruins and Capitals was a nail biter that could have gone either way just like I predicted. Luckily the Capitals were able to rise to the occasion in overtime to win my big underdog bet. My NHL Playoff record now sits at (17-15) for +5.30 units. Tonight there are two more big game 7’s taking place with each team knowing what is on the line.
Ottawa Senators @ New York Rangers
The Ottawa Senators are 0-4 in game 7’s in their 20 year history, but this is a different Senators team than in the past. This group has come together and proved everyone wrong throughout the season to be in the position they are today. The team is 4-1 in New York this year and the away team has won 4 of the 6 games in this series. The Senators are a resilient bunch with a lot of heart and I expect them to find a way to win tonight.

New Jersey Devils @ Florida Panthers
The Devils dominated the Panthers in game 6 but had to wait until overtime to win the game. Jose Theodore is expected to get the start in goal for the Panthers, but whoever is in net will likely have to steal this game. Brodeur hasn’t been at his best, but I expect him to rise to the occasion in this game 7 and get these Devils past this sub par Panthers team and into the second round.
