Tampa Bay Lightning vs Colorado Avalanche NHL Playoffs Game 6 Notes, Odds & Prediction

After the Lightning managed to win game five of the NHL finals best of seven series, now they will be playing at home for another chance to tie the series. Will the Avalanche manage to repeat history and beat Tampa Bay on their home ground? Let’s see what our experts think about the sixth game in the series and what are the top picks they chose.  

Before game six begins this weekend, the Avalanche will travel to Tampa to face their series opponents on their home ground. Colorado has already proved that they can beat Tampa Bay in their house, but can they do it again? During game five, Colorado and Tampa Bay were tied up until the end of the third period when Ondrej Palat scored the third goal for the Lightning with less than ten minutes remaining.  

If the Lightning manage to tie the series, getting to game seven, and winning is something that has only happened once in history when the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs won the championship. If anyone can do it now, it is definitely the Tampa Bay Lightning. They already bounced back against Toronto in the first round and the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference finals.

NHL Stanly Cup Finals Game 6: Analyzing the Odds 

The Moneyline odds for this NHL finals best of seven series are similar to the odds in game four when Tampa Bay was the favorite, but they lost it. Colorado is at –115 on the Moneyline, while Tampa Bay is at –104 right now, but if you want to bet on the spread, then the Lightning’s odds aren’t that high at –265, while the Avalanche is at +215. 

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Colorado Avalanche Top Picks 

Colorado Avalanche to Win @ -115 

Despite playing away from home, we think that Colorado has a better chance to win the upcoming match. They lost only two of the five games in the series that were played, so far, and in the last game together, they tied the game after every Tampa Bay goal, except for the last one when they didn’t have time. Playing away from home won’t be a problem for the Avalanche because they already beat the Lightning at Amalie Arena once in the series.

Under 6 Goals @ +100 

The number of goals scored per game in the series seems to be lowering in each game. In the first three games, there were always more than six goals scored, but in the last two games the pressure has been more and they ended with fewer than six goals scored during the game. We think that the upcoming game will end with fewer than six goals scored similarly to five of the six conference finals games for Tampa Bay.

Our Bonus Prop Pick: Valeri Nichushkin to Score Anytime @ +220 

Valeri Nichushkin has scored in three of the five games of the NHL finals series, so far. We think that there is a high chance he will score once again in game six. During the 2021-2022 playoffs Valeri Nichushkin actually scored nine goals in total.
