The battle in this pairing promises to be fierce, as CSKA and SKA have been battling it out to decide who will advance from the Western Conference to the Gagarin Cup. The series score is 1-1, and in both games there was no clear favorite on the ice, everything was decided in the very end of the game or in overtime. Shot execution for SKA and CSKA in the series has been poor, averaging 4-5%. We don't think the teams will manage to score more than 5 goals over 3 periods tonight.
Prediction: 5 goals to be scored or fewer. We recommend the “Under 5.5” bet, odds 1.54
