ROGERS' RANGERS/LIGHTNING GM6 BEST BET: GOING FOR 5 STRAIGHT!
(NHL) NY Rangers vs. Tampa Bay,
Total: 5.50 | -145.00 Under
Result: Win
The Lightning roll into Game 6 a heavy favorite, and are looking to keep that home ice advantage intact and finish the Rangers, but I can’t see New York rolling over easily. Shesterkin has perhaps been out-dueled lately by Vasilevskiy but is still a formidable goaltender. Games 4 and 5 were not easy wins for the Lightning; the young Rangers’ side has come a long way in the playoffs this year, and should not be counted out today. What we saw in game 5 was a tighter effort from both teams and a significant drop in shot totals, not to mention the 4th straight low total. I took the Lightning to win in Game 5, but won’t play them on today’s odds. With the same total line available today, I am back with the under. I expect game 6 to be even tighter and definitely more disciplined. Take the Rangers and Lightning to go under the total.
