Arizona interrupted their unsuccessful streak in the last round by beating San Jose on home ice (5:2). However, the team's season can still be called a failure.
Anaheim is also doing poorly in the regular season, especially now–ten consecutive losses. The club has long been considered an outsider in the NHL.
There is no clear favorite today. There are two outsiders who no longer claim for the playoffs. But the lack of motivation is unlikely to affect their performance somehow today since Arizona and Anaheim score a lot.
Our prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the “Over 4.5” bet, odds 1.47
