BARTENDER'S PICKS 5/14-5/20

REGULAR SEASON 227-183 +$5469.00

FIRST ROUND 29-17 +$1139.00

SECOND ROUND 13-20 -$731.00

UPDATED TOTALS 269-220 +$5877.00

WIN +120 Ok, so The Jets haven’t lost 2-straight for over two months. It hasn’t happened since a 3-game slide back in mid-March. Now, the angle here is that since that 3-game slide way back on March 13th, Winnipeg has bounced back the following game after all six times they’ve fallen—this is a run from March and through our current playoffs. Not only that, but each of those bounce-back wins, all six, were by multiple goals so the puck line is in play here as well. Obviously, nothing is a guarantee, but this is a nice trend that shows this teams resiliency and attitude after a loss. Speaking of performance after a loss, Connor Hellebuyck in that time obviously went 6-0, but more importantly he dominated with a .948 Save% and 1.67 GAA. It gets even better because when his team has lost in these playoffs and had to follow up by going on the road, the soon-to-be Vezina finalist has shown up with a 3-0 record with a .972 Save% and 1.00 GAA. Those are numbers that can’t be ignored and two of those games were against a high-scoring Nashville team that peppered him with 37 and 40 SOG.

WIN/VGK under 5 ½ -105 This doesn’t matter so much, but just mentioning it because it was something I noticed; I’m 8-2-1 when betting over/under on the Knights in these playoffs. It’s a trend on me, but I use the same thinking when I make my picks so maybe it has some validity. We got four goals from both teams in the first period of game 1 and still couldn’t cash the over. That period, as it turns out, seems to be a bit fluky as we haven’t had any of the other five periods break two combined goals. Game two went under the number. T-Mobile Arena is most definitely going to be a crazy atmosphere but I’m counting on Hellybuyck’s recent road performance in these situations and Fleury overall to perform as they have been and hold us to the under.

Didn't think I'd be posting any more this season but got back earlier than expected so why not? Good luck, everybody! 

Welcome back NYB.
