NHL Expert Bets for Wednesday, May 8
Our VI betting experts have compiled their NHL Best Bets for Wednesday, May 8.
- Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers (7:30 p.m. ET)
- Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks (10:00 p.m. ET)
Bruins vs. Panthers Free Pick
Here's the next chance for the NHL zig-zag (which hasn't been working all that well) with the Panthers after their humbling 5-1 loss in Game One.
But the Bruins loom to us as extremely dangerous, especially as they can play a bit more loose with the 1-0 series lead and having already stole home ice from Florida.
It was a very animated Boston in Game One, seemingly not having forgotten the painful playoff exit at the hands of Florida last spring, and Jim Montgomery can be excused for sticking with goalie Jeremy Swayman, as none have performed better in goal than his 1.42 GAA in seven playoff starts.
Play Bruins on Money Line
Oilers vs. Canucks Free Pick
While the Canucks dominated the regular-season series, winning all four meetings, while outscoring the Oilers 21-7, back Edmonton in Game 1.
The Canucks had a rough time of it against the Predators, not in terms of wins and losses, but in terms of goaltender injuries.
They lost All-Star Thatcher Demko to injury after Game 1, and Casey DeSmith was banged up in Game 4, yielding to third-stringer Arturs Silovs to finish off the Preds series. And finish them off he did.
However, facing a mostly toothless Nashville offense, and facing Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and the rest of the high-flying Edmonton offense is a bit much.
