Coyotes/Predators Game 3 tomorrow night--Am I really first on this? From what I can see Pinnacle is still +1.5-180 on the Coyotes tomorrow night The ML has moved from +165 to +162. It has been several hours now I believe that it has been announced that Alexander Radulov and Sergei Kostisyn are suspended for the game. For those who follow these are 2 key players on the Predators although not their best players. Radulov is a huge star from the KHL and a key piece they added late in the season. Sergei was a trade pick up late. Both the moves were to upgrade their offense which is always a little weak.
IMO the line was already some value on Phoenix but with Nashville down 2-0 the situation is pretty strong at home for the Predators. I still think Nashville will get this done but the chances went down.---alot---obviously. If they were -180 to start I really thought they should only be -167 for a number and without these guys I'll throw out -155 as a number. (+1.5-200). Note Greek is that number on Phoenix already might really expect they could go higher.
Phoenix is a very underrated team and I think most hockey analysts would agree with that. I played MGM at +1.5-175 and I hope I can scalp some of my bet and in this game if I can end up getting -155 I would play back some Nashville ML. The Preds should be fired up at home and the first 10 minutes could be a sweat and with their PP even with the missing players they can still win this game big. But the line has that value reflected and then some IMO and the suspensions are being completely ignored.
I'll assume the big hockey bettors took the day off today. They won't ignore this tonight or tomorrow IMO.
