NHL Predictions: Expert Picks on Wednesday, April 29
VSiN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning are tied 2-2 in their NHL playoff series, with all games being close and mostly decided by one goal; betting on sides or totals is risky, but player props such as Brandon Hagel and Jake Guentzel anytime goals or assists offer value.
- In the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers series (Penguins lead 3-2), Sidney Crosby has been a key performer with five points in the last three games, and trends suggest low scoring in the first period and higher scoring in the second period.
- The Utah Mammoth and Vegas Golden Knights are tied 2-2 in their series, with both teams having scored 13 goals each; key players include MacKenzie Weegar for Utah and Ivan Barbashev for Vegas, both contributing consistently in scoring and points.
- Recommended bets include regulation draw and specific player props in the Canadiens-Lightning game, period goal totals and Crosby-related bets in the Penguins-Flyers game, and under total goals in the Mammoth-Golden Knights matchup.
