The NHL schedule makers decided to bore hockey fans, as there are an accumulative six games on hockey’s off-nights of Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. There are two games tonight, including one potential playoff round-one matchup between the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Today’s expected goaltender matchups for our highlighted games:
The Boston Bruins’ Linus Ullmark (19-8-7) vs. The Tampa Bay Lightning’s Andrei Vasilevskiy (26-16-2).
The Ottawa Senators’ Joonas Korpisalo (17-21-4) vs. The Buffalo Sabres’ Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (24-18-3).
Boston Bruins / Tampa Bay Lightning over 5.5 goals (-135)
If the playoffs were to start today, the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning would face off in round one. Tonight should be a playoff primer for both of these teams.
Boston has exceeded this total in four of its last five games, averaging 4.0 goals per game. Tampa Bay has eclipsed this line in seven of its previous nine games, averaging 4.4 goals per game.
These teams have played three times this season. The final scores in those games were 5-4 Tampa Bay, 7-3 Boston, and 3-2 Tampa Bay – going over this line in two of three games while averaging eight goals per game.
