Plays that are the best
Greg Wyshynski, Senior NHL Writer: Colorado vs. Tampa Bay 1st period Over 1.5 goals (-120)
This was the hit in Denver's first two games. The Lightning haven’t had a period at home since Game 3, against the Panthers. This is why this price is so low. In total, they have only won in the first period in three of eight home games. Although they have won the first in 10 out of 16 home games, the Avalanche are a little behind the four straight wins against the Predators. They have not been over in road games. They'll still be able to surpass this number in the first game, especially with the Lightning's desperate offensive play.
Anita Marks, ESPN Sports Betting Analysis: Colorado money line (-110), Colorado vs. Tampa Bay Under 6, Colorado Series sweep (+250)
Colorado is simply too good! In Game 2, we are seeing utter dominance. The Avalanche are currently 14-2 in the playoffs, and undefeated at home. Their defense and speed, especially their blue line, have been outstanding. Colorado is three-for-7 in power plays and six-for-6 in penalty kills. The Lightning should consider fatigue, given their longer series and the fact that they had to contend with Denver's thin air the last two games. I anticipate Andrei Vasilevskiy To play better at home (5 goals in the last 5 home), but Tampa still struggles to get shots off (only 29 shots per game in Game 2 (16 at-net).
Wyshynski: Ondrej Palat Score a point (-130).
With whom should the undiscovered winger skate? Steven Stamkos And Nikita Kucherov Game 3. In Game 3. Palat is tied for fourth at home in shots on goal and has scored points in eight Lightning home games.
Marks: Darcy Kuemper Below 27.5 (-120).
Tampa Bay's failure to attack will continue to be an issue tonight. Colorado's defense is outstanding, with only 29 shots and 16 goals in Game 2. Kuemper will not be getting much work tonight due to the Lightning's 28% puck possession and the Avalanche relentless defense.
