Philadelphia Flyers at Pittsburgh Penguins (-180, 7)
After getting blown out 10-3 in Game 4, the Flyers are probably glad to be at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, where they’ve won seven of their last eight games. The Flyers believe they’re still in control of the series.
"Yeah, we gave them a little life, but at the same time we're still up 3-1," said Claude Giroux, who has five goals and five assists in the series.
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal combined for six goals and three assists to key the offensive fireworks on Wednesday. Crosby, who was labeled the "Cowardly Penguin" on the cover of the Philadelphia Daily News, has eight points in the series. Malkin, who netted a career-high 50 goals this season, recorded his first two of the series and Staal collected his first postseason hat trick.
The Pens exploded without 40-goal scorer James Neal, who was suspended for the contest following Sunday's antics. The teams have combined for 45 goals, making it the highest-scoring series through four games in NHL history.
Philadelphia goaltenders Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky permitted five goals on 18 shots apiece in Game 4.
The over is 5-0-1 in the teams’ last six meetings in Pittsburgh. There's a reason this total is so high.
Pick: Over ---
Detroit Red Wings at Nashville Predators (-125, 5)
The writers in Detroit are talking about breaking up the Red Wings, who trail 3-1 for the third time in their last four playoff series.
The Preds aren’t taking anything for granted.
“The two games in Detroit, we could have been on the other end,” coach Barry Trotz said. “We’ve had some good goaltending. We’ve had some timely goals. We’ve had some pretty good penalty kill.”
Trotz smartly gave the players off Wednesday, giving valuable rest to Ryan Suter, Shea Weber and goalie Pekka Rinne. Even though the Red Wings are peppering Rinne with shots, he is simply stoning them.
Counting the regular season, the Red Wings have beaten Nashville only once in their last six tries.
Pick: Predators +++
