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.
