I wouldn’t say this is all that great of a series between the 7th and 8th best teams in the East but this Metro Division rivalry for the Battle of Pennsylvania is always fun as the #2 seed Pittsburgh Penguins face the #3 seed Philadelphia Flyers in the first round. During the regular season, these teams split their four games, with both Penguins wins being … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2026 – Round 1 Series Preview: Penguins vs. Flyers

This Central Division matchup is one of my most anticipated of the first round, between the #2 seed Dallas Stars and the #3 seed Minnesota Wild. Both of these teams were fantastic this season, being the second and third overall seeds in the West, clinching their spots in the playoffs a couple weeks ago. I expect this series to be an all out war, and … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2026 – Round 1 Series Preview: Stars vs. Wild

Even though this is the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference vs. the second Wild Card team, I actually expect this to be a pretty solid series to start the playoffs between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Ottawa Senators. This will be the first time these franchises have met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. During the regular season, Carolina went 2-1 against the Sens. They … Continue reading NHL Playoffs 2026 – Round 1 Series Preview: Hurricanes vs. Senators

Tonight’s the last night of the regular season, let’s go out hot on the couple games that matter in the West to head into the playoffs on Saturday! I’ll have full series previews of each round of the playoffs up on the blog before they start this weekend! Mammoth vs. Blues (7:30) … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 4/16/26

Last night on a pretty meaningless NHL slate, I went 2-3 to lose 1.64 units. Tonight the Eastern Conference wraps up the regular season with only one of these six games mattering in the West. Keeping it very light tonight, let’s win! Again, just like yesterday, I’m staying off all the meaningless games, who knows who plays and if they do play, who gets minutes. … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 4/15/26

Last night I went 5-7 in the NHL, losing 0.78 units. Not horrible. The field is set for the Stanley Cup Playoffs making a pretty meaningless nine game slate tonight with just a few teams playing for seeding. Let’s win! I’m going to be going quite light these next few days with all the teams in the playoffs having their spots clinched. There isn’t much … Continue reading NHL Daily Gambling Preview – 4/14/26
