Nhl Game Predictions - April 27, 2008
We lost our pick last night dropping us to 23-12 for +16.3 units the past two weeks. This afternoon we have one selection.
Today's NHL Hockey Picks:
Game: New York Rangers at Pittsburgh (2:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Pittsburgh -145 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
Pittsburgh was able to overcome a 3-goal deficit in game one to come back and post a 5-4 win over New York. That's how good this offense is. They have now won five straight games and we like them to continue winning for many of the same reasons. This "young" team is playing like a bunch of experienced veterans. That loss had to take a toll on New York's mental situation. "We just have to forget this," Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said. "I don't want to think about it. I just want to move on." Yeah, I'll bet. The Rangers are now averaging 3.2 goals allowed per game over their last five compared to 1.8 for Pittsburgh. New York is 3-10 this season on the road following a high-scoring game in which both teams scored 3+ goals. Home favorites that have scored 3+ goals in five straight games are 31-5 over the past five seasons when facing a team that allowed 3+ goals in four straight games. We like the Penguins to make it 2-0.
