PredLines was able to pick six of eight first round matchups, missing on the Panther and the LA Kings. It sure doesn’t get any easier in the second round as these teams are all very close and anyone can win a series. You can look at our First Round Picks here.
We are going to start in the Eastern Conference:
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New York Islanders
Since we picked the Panthers to beat the Islanders in the first round, you would think this was easy. We were banking on the fact that Thomas Greiss would get outplayed by the Panthers Roberto Luongo but that didn’t happen.
