NHL Winnipeg Tuesday

[hotcross]

Tuesday March 27 - pick #1

I like a handful of games tonight...if you'd like, check hockey subforum for possible added picks.
This is my top pick of the night.

WINNIPEG -0.5 +120 regulation win // 3 units to win 3.60

I want to go bigger on this pick, but the opponent is Boston after all. Winnipeg is riding their season-high 5-game win streak, all at home, and the last 3 decided in Overtime/ or Shootout. Notably in the last game they hung with division leader Nashville for a 5-4 Shootout win two nights ago on Sunday.

Boston comes in on the last game of their tough road-trip facing Western Conference opponents, winning the past two games, 3-2 dramatic last minute win in Dallas on Friday, followed by a 2-1 Overtime win in Minnesota on Sunday. God on them. But they barely squeezed out both those wins. Come into face a red-hot Winnipeg team as the last game of the road trip...then they'll be going home to host Tampa on Thursday. So of course the want to win, we've seen their competitiveness. But I think they'll want the win more against Tampa.

Because both these teams' last games went to Overtime, plus 3-in-a-row extra time for Winnipeg, I'm taking the home team to win in regulation here.

cool hotcross...you think any of today's action can /will go to OT? there are 4 games i looked at that could easily go to OT...

[hotcross]

I wish could answer that. 4 out of 5 games on Sunday went to Overtime. So we may have missed that boat !

yep so my theory is the games today that are division rivals who are jockeying for playoffs

nah vegas going to fold in 1st round good story though

[hotcross]

Vegas has shattered all records of expansion teams this year. I look for them to win Round 1 of the playoffs whoever they face to continue this trend. If you watch them play, they WANT IT. And goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is playing amazing to cover-up any mishaps.

Back on topic...I'm looking at the later games on tonight's schedule.

Thanks hotcross. I tailed as ML. Those penalties though was dumb, too bad it went to over time :/

Nice job, HC. O.T or not you still cashed it!

no, I didn't. I played the regulation win -0.5 line at +120 odds. So this loses.

Same thing happened with my St. Louis pick the weekend before last.

Glad if anybody tailed the standard moneyline and cashed tho.
