EASTERN CONFERENCE
Tampa Bay vs Columbus
Tampa bay has dominated opponents all season long
To much offense, and made it look easy
Tampa (-400) sweeps the series
Boston vs Toronto
This series will be by far the best to watch, Boston has 2 great goalies, very good defensemen that like to bang and join the offensive rush! Even with all offensive talent and skill of the leafs have it is hard to get around the big man Chara.
Boston (-145) in 7 games
Washington vs Carolina
We saw them win it all last year, not to many roster changes, Ovechkin and company has all the firepower offensively and goaltending is very strong.
Washington (-155) in 6 games
Pittsburgh vs New York Islanders
Coach Barry Trotz has the team playing defense first mentally and defense win playoff series!
New York (+135) in 6 games
WESTERN CONFERENCE
St Louis vs Winnipeg
Goaltending matchups even
Defensive matchups- The Edge goes to the Jets
Offensive matchups- The Edge goes to the Jets
Penalty-kill and power-play- The Edge goes to the Jets
Coaching matchups - The Edge goes to the Blues
Winnipeg (+105) in 6 games
San Jose vs Las Vegas
San Jose has played very well all season long, the Golden Knights Play A Hard gritty in your face kind of game, and the Stellar performance from goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. It will be the difference!
Vegas (-115) in 7 games
Nashville vs Dallas
The Predators get scoring from all four lines, they never let off the gas with speed, checking, and first to the puck in the corners. The Dallas Stars will never be able to keep up with these guys.
Nashville (-170) will sweep the series
Colorado vs Calgary
The Flames are very well-coached. Colorado's banged-up and at times their play is inconsistent. Calgary's Johnny hockey is Unstoppable, he could lead the playoffs in points.
Calgary (-215) will sweep the series
