Our pick: Vancouver – Edmonton: more than 7.5 two-minute penalties

11.05.2024 04:07

Every second game in a series is more nervous than the first. Especially if the first game ends in a debacle or a sensational turnaround. We saw it in the Florida-Boston series and the Dallas-Colorado series.

In the Canadian series between Vancouver and Edmonton the day before yesterday, it was all down to the expected victory of the favored Oilers, who led 4-1 in the 34th minute. But Vancouver had an excellent finish and turned it around in the third period with three goals to make it 5:4.

Now it’s time to roll up the sleeves. The second game will be much more intense, as they’re already fighting for a rather luxurious 2-0 lead for the Canucks. Edmonton, one of the best assembled teams this season, can’t afford that. Expect more back-and-forth battles, more fierce positional battles in front of the net. Expect the referees to be more likely to rule the game out of their hands.

What to bet on:

Eight two-minute penalties are real. All it takes is for players to go off each other twice for roughing and half the bet is made. The screws are going to be tightened tonight and the game is going to get tougher.

Confidence: 7/10
