We come into this week riding high! Sweeping last week thanks to a late Chris Kreider goal (which was also on the power play as mentioned it would be) and a stellar game by Vegas to blank the Kraken, we inch closer to pulling even as the regular season quickly comes to an end. This week we only have one game on TNT as the Lightning and the Capitals both are battling for playoff positioning.

Remember it’s never too late to get some of your future bets in so check in on our pre-season future article to get some value while you can on some of our pre-season picks mid-season!

The Plays:
TB @ WASH
So much to dive into with this game, as both teams basically have a lock to the Stanley cup finals, just positioning matters at this point. There is really only one play worth playing and that is the total in this one. Both teams are expected to have their number one netminder in play tonight, and the trends also suggest the under as well as six of the eight trends suggest it. Also, both netminders have been nothing less than stellar this year, as both goalies have a GAA of under three, combine that with each team’s GPG of just under 6.5, I’ll be riding with the under tonight. Two things to look for when playing this play 1) Make sure as I always mention who is in net, if by some chance Vanecek plays (played Monday) I would learn to stay away. 2) Shop around for the best line as some books have U6 as a better price.

The Play: UNDER 6.5, -125
