Sport: NHLPick Selection: UNDER
I'm playing on the Capitals and Flyers to finish UNDER the number. The opening game of this series resulted in an extremely high-scoring affair, which has created some additional line value here. Despite the Game 1 result, the Flyers have still seen the UNDER go 67-40-13 their last 120 April games. During the same stretch, the Caps have seen the UNDER go 49-27 when playing in the month of April.
Its not all that common to see back-to-back high-scoring games in an NHL playoff series and I expect that we'll see both better defense and better goaltending this afternoon. The Flyers entered this series, coming off back to back shutout (2-0 and 3-0) victories while the Capitals had allowed a mere three goals in their previous four games. All four of those games finished below the total, each with scores of five or less. Look for this afternoon's game to be much lower-scoring than most are expecting. *Blue Chip
