Betting Tip

We are halfway to crowning a new Stanley Cup Champion after the Colorado Avalanche took a 2-0 lead after a 7-0 blowout win in Game 2. It seems like the Avalanche will have no issues closing out the series and win their first NHL title since 2001 but the Lightning have won the last two titles and are definitely are not a team that should be underestimated. It still shouldn’t be time to panic for the Lightning because in their previous series against the New York Rangers, they also went down 2-0 before reeling off four straight to win the series.

It’s hard to see a similar comeback happening with how hot the Avalanche are at the moment though, as they have now won seven straight games. It’s just hard to believe that the Lightning will go down 3-0 at home and with this being their last chance to get back in the series. Tonight we will get a vintage performance from the Lightning who will win and get back in the series.
