For our money, the Anaheim Ducks were the better of the two teams on the ice in Game 1 of their series against the Nashville Predators. The better team doesn't always win though, and in this case, Nashville stole the first game of this best-of-seven series. Now, the Ducks are facing what might be a must-win in Game 2 on Sunday night....

Those in the know in the NHL suggested that without the injured Steven Stamkos, the Tampa Bay Lightning weren't going to do much scoring in the postseason. The only way they would've been able to win this series with the Detroit Red Wings would be to get a yeoman's effort out of Ben Bishop....

It's entirely possible that these San Jose Sharks are going to turn into the same choke artists that we've come to know and love over the years.

Of all of the games played in the first two days of the NHL playoffs, none looked overmatched as badly as the Minnesota Wild.They've got a ton of problems heading into the second game of their series against the Dallas Stars not the least of which is the fact that their best player, Zach Parise still isn't available....

The Penguins are so blistering hot right now, they can make their own third-string goalie look like Patrick Roy. Pittsburgh opened the series winning for the 15th time in its last 17 games and the Rangers were a victim for the third time during that span. New York will look to end that run and even the series before heading back to Broadway....
After a night of extra hockey that saw the home team pick up the win in overtime, the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks don’t have much time to rest and will be back on the ice Friday night.

The Red Wings backed into the playoffs after losing their final two regular season games. Still, Detroit extended its playoff streak to 25 seasons, but the Wings are looking to win a round for the first time since 2013.Tampa Bay came back from a 3-2 first round series deficit to knock off the Wings in seven games last season....

Many think the Minnesota Wild have virtually no chance in their series against the Dallas Stars. The two teams might've finished 22 points apart from each other, but everyone is 0-0 now in the postseason, a point which Minnesota will try to prove in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals....
The St. Louis Blues know just how important it is to get a lead in a series against the Chicago Blackhawks.The Hawks are 16-1 at closing out foes after they take a lead at some point during the series, and if they steal Game 1 at the Scottrade Center, there's a good chance they're going to ultimately eliminate the Blues early....
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been ridiculously hot. They won 14 of their last 16 games overall, and it's really not fair to include a completely meaningless loss to the Flyers on the last day of the regular season when Sidney Crosby and a few others rested. In the playoffs though, everyone is 0-0, and the New York Rangers are going to hope to start off their new season in a winning way Wednesday night in the 'Burgh....

ODDS ANALYSISYou don’t get a chance to win a third Stanley Cup in six years by folding late in a playoff series and the Chicago Blackhawks have been nearly unbeatable in that situation. The Hawks are 17-4 in games 5 through 7 of a playoff series dating back to the 2012 season....
It shouldn't be all that surprising that the Chicago Blackhawks (62-34-4-3) and the Tampa Bay Lightning (64-34-3-5) are knotted at two games apiece through four games of the Stanley Cup Finals.What might be surprising though, is the determination of which team to bet on in live betting....
The Tampa Bay Lightning (64-34-3-5) came all too close to tying Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. In the end, they didn't get the job done, but they’ve certainly continued to prove that they are game against the Chicago Blackhawks (62-34-4-3) in any situation....
