Philadelphia Flyers Latest Injuries
With a big win on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers took a commanding lead over the New Jersey Devils in the first round. They are now one game away from wrapping up the series, but it will be harder to do without Simon Gagne or Jeff Carter in game five. Both Carter and Gagne suffered right foot injuries and will not be available for next game. It will be interesting to see how the sports betting world will adjust the numbers for their next game.
Montreal Canadiens Decide To Go With Price
The Montreal Canadiens will try their luck with Price in game four of their series with Washington. It is tough to blame Halak for the last two losses, although some goals were a bit weak. Washington is an offensive beast this year, and it is highly doubtful that Carey Price will fair much better on Wednesday night.
The goalie alone will not be able to stop the offensive juggernaut. The Canadiens are faced with the daunting task of stopping a team that has too many weapons to hold off. This will be an interesting game to watch out for.
Thomas Vanek Is A Game Time Decision
The Buffalo Sabres may get Thomas Vanek back for game four against the Boston Bruins. Buffalo has struggled to find wins in their last two games, and a productive Vanek can make a real difference in the game. However, a game time decision means he is not really ready to go, and would probably be out of the lineup during the regular season. Is a 70 per cent Vanek going to make the difference that Buffalo so desperately needs in this crucial game? He definitely will not win the game for them alone. The whole team needs to step it up a notch and show the kind of desperation that it takes to win in these grueling playoffs. His absence or presence in this game should not offset the NHL playoff betting numbers by much.
