NHL DFS: Playoffs 4/20/23
Last Tuesday was a mess. All 4 games were won by road teams and all 4 games were Vegas upsets. Teams will adjust and home teams should come out strong. There is a good chance Tampa will be down 2 of their top defensemen and Toronto’s Micahel Bunting was suspended 3 games. All home teams are in must-win situations in order to keep their home-ice advantage.

Showdowns
Not too many changes to the showdowns lineups tonight I expect home teams to bounce back and scores to go up.
New York Rangers @ New Jersey (-135)
O/U 5.5
The Rangers may sweep this series, with their experience dominating game 1. I picked them to win Tuesday and i think they do it again.
CPT: Artemi Panarin
Flex: Trocheck, Tarasenko, Trouba
Flex: Hamilton
Tampa Bay @ Toronto (-170)
O/U 6.5
Toronto has to bounce back and dominate this game right? Tampa’s defense is hurt and the Leafs were embarrassed in Game 1.
CPT: Mitch Marner
Flex: Matthews, Tavares, Rielly
Flex: Hagel
Winnepeg @ Vegas (-165)
O/U 5.5
Vegas has every chance to win Game 1 with Hellybuck looking weak in goal for the Jets.
CPT: Mark Stone
Flex: Eichel, Barbashev, Stephensen
Flex: Dubois
Seattle @ Colorado (-225)
O/U 6
Colorado will not lose twice at home.
CPT: Atturi Lehkonen
Flex: MacKinnon, Ratanen, Toews
Flex: Schwartz
