We are wrapping up the first round of the NHL playoffs, and will have three games on Wednesday May 26th, 2021. Check out our best picks below, as well as the updated betting odds.
Pittsburgh Penguins -110 New York Islanders +100 O/U: 5.5
6:30PM EST
The Islanders have now won the last two games, taking control of the series with a 3-2 lead. Pittsburgh still managed to outshoot the Islanders in both games, with a 22-shot advantage in the most recent game. However, the Islanders will be back home in this one, where they allowed just 2 goals per game during the regular season, with a 1.43 scoring differential.
Pick: New York Islanders +100
Florida Panthers +120 Tampa Bay Lightning -150 O/U: 6
8:00PM EST
Tampa Bay will look to wrap things up in this game, after Florida defended home ice with a 4-1 win in the last contest. Tampa Bay has scored at least 5 goals in the two prior games at home, while Florida ranked 2nd with 3.36 goals per game on the road this season. The over has also cashed in 6 of 8 during the regular season in this series, and the previous 2 in Tampa Bay.
Pick: Over 6
Vegas Golden Knights -135 Minnesota Wild +110 O/U: 5.5
9:00PM EST
Minnesota will be back home after keeping their season alive with a 4-2 win in Vegas last time out. Despite getting the win, they were outshot 40-14 by Vegas. It was a brilliant game for Cam Talbot, who stopped 38 of those shots for a .950 save percentage. However, Vegas has continued to control the puck, and should be able to ride their potent offense to a win in this one.
Pick: Vegas Golden Knights -135
