NHL game preview 4-23

Tonight is a very exciting night for hockey fans as there is two Game 7 games slated tonight in the first round of the NHL playoffs. The first one will take place at 7pm that features the Toronto Maple Leafs taking on the Boston Bruins. The game will be played at TD Garden in Boston, giving the Bruins the home-ice advantage. The winner of this game will take on the Columbus Blue jackets in round two of the playoffs. There have been a few game 7’s between the Leafs and Bruins in recent years with the Bruins getting the best of the Leafs in those games. However in a series in which both teams trading wins (with Boston winning the past game), I have Toronto winning tonight in a close game on the road. The second game tonight is between the Las Vegas Knights and the San Jose Sharks. The game is scheduled to start at 10pm and be played in San Jose giving the Sharks the home-ice advantage. The Sharks have stormed back into the series after being down 1-3 after Vegas got the best of the first four games. In an extremely intense double overtime Game 6 that ended in the Sharks winning in Vegas, I believe that Vegas won’t be able to handle San Jose and that the Sharks will move on to play the Colorado Avalance in the second round.
