Game: Boston Bruins @ Pittsburgh Penguins
Pick: Under 5,5 goals, 1,80 on Expekt
For me the value of this game is in the two keepers who will start the game. Side of the team from Massachusetts, is an incredible Tim Thomas. There have been blameless in all or nothing, but let's see ... The Boston Bruins in 11 games totaling 7 wins and 4 losses, 4 losses were such that when all the Bruins Tuukka Rask they put all the victories in Boston were obtained with the commanding voice of Tim Thomas. This season already has three shutouts and suffers an average of 1 goal per game, it sure is helped by a great defense, but many are indeed impressive.
On the other hand, the goal the Penguins will be another goalkeeper who has also been very well, having also won the place-holder Marc-Andre Fleury. I speak for Brent Johnson, guardian, who already has a shutout this season and taking the game with Dallas that has 5 goals, never suffered more than 2 goals a game. Has a record of 6-1-1, an average of 1.62 goals per game and conceded an effective defense in the order of 94%.
They are also teams that have rows of very competent Penalty Kill, 92.9% for Chara and effectiveness of the company and 87.5% efficiency for the home team.
Conclusion: It is true that there are two teams that score many goals but I am expecting two very competent goalkeepers and not suffer more than 2 goals each. So much like the line below 5,5 goals.
