We are just about halfway through the first round of the NHL playoffs, and there will be 4 postseason hockey games on Friday, May 21st, 2021. Check out our best picks below, as well as the updated betting odds.

Washington Capitals +150 Boston Bruins -170 O/U: 5.5

6:30PM EST

The Bruins have won the last two in this series; however, all three games have required overtime. The teams have played each other tough all season, splitting the regular season series 4-4. Washington has been great on the road, leading the league with 19 wins in the regular season. The Capitals have been outshot in each of the last two, but you should expect them to push the pace on Friday.

Pick: Washington Capitals +1.5

Carolina Hurricanes -145 Nashville Predators +130 O/U: 5

7:00PM EST

Carolina won the regular season series 6-2 and won the first two games of this series, each win by a 3-goal margin. Nashville should be desperate to avoid a 3-0 hole, so look for them to turn up the heat in this one. They have averaged 3.5 goals per game in their last 10, and 4 per game in their last two against Carolina at home. Back the home dogs on the puck line.

Pick: Nashville +1.5

Winnipeg Jets +140 Edmonton Oilers -160 O/U: 5.5

9:00PM EST

Winnipeg cruised to a 4-1 victory in the first game, despite getting outshot 33-22. Edmonton won the season series 7-2 and took 3 of 4 in Edmonton. The Oilers had been playing well heading into the last game, averaging 6.2 assists per game in their last 10. Expect the Oilers to return to form after a wakeup call in game one. Lay the juice here.

Pick: Edmonton Oilers -160

Colorado Avalanche -215 St. Louis Blues O/U: 5.5

9:30 PM EST

The Avalanche handled the Blues in the first two games, winning each by 3 goals. St. Louis however has won the last two at home in this series, covering the puck line in each win. St. Louis has averaged 3.5 goals per game in their last ten, and the Avalanche have averaged 3.5 over the same stretch. There has been a lot of offense in this series thus far, with each game having at least 70 shots taken. Expect a high scoring affair in this one.

Pick: Over 5.5
