Free NHL Eastern Conference Playoff, Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 5/24/22

Last night in the Eastern Conference, the Tampa Bay Lightning completed the sweep of Florida, shutting them out 2-0. They will take some time off and await the winner of the Carolina-NewYork series, which from all indications, looks like it is going to be awhile before a winner is crowned. Florida’s inability to score is one of the mysteries of the postseason so far. Tonight, we have the Rangers trying to even up their series with Carolina at 2-2. They are coming off a 2-0 win on Sunday and this one should be a close game.

We cashed our Best Bet yesterday as we went with Tampa Bay to beat Florida. Our Best Bet of the Day record is now 59-42 since the All-Star Break.

We went 2-0 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record is now 376-212 as the playoffs continue.

Let’s take a look at the Eastern Conference game tonight. Carolina has a chance to go up 3-1 heading back to Carolina for Game 5. New York will be looking at evening things up.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Carolina at New York: Carolina leads the series 2-1: The story of this series has been tight-checking defensive first hockey, with outstanding goaltending from both teams. Game 4 should provide plenty of the same from these hockey clubs. There has been a total of nine goals total as action resumes tonight. In low scoring games like this, between two good teams, it is so hard to predict who is going to get the lucky bounce and who is not. And, a lot of times that is what it comes down too. The only thing we know for sure is Carolina has won all six of their games at home and have lost all 4 of their games on the road. That’s not much to go by, but it is least something to analyze. Vegas sees this as a total toss-up as well. I like the Rangers to step up, and behind the hot goaltending of Igor Shesterkin, even up this series.
