Washington Capitals vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Preview and Predictions 05-11-2018

10th May 2018 by Gracenote
the tampa bay lightning hope to use their experience and the visiting washington capitals look to ride the momentum of one of the best playoff runs in franchise history as the teams meet for game 1 of the eastern conference final friday night. the lightning have reached the conference final three times in the last four seasons and washington makes its first appearance since 1998 after vanquishing its nemesis pittsburgh in the second round.

"it's more 'we're on a mission' excitement," tampa bay coach jon cooper told reporters. "it's a little different than it was three years ago with the same group. there's a confidence about them in the way we're playing, how we've arrived at where we are right now, and a lot of that has to do because they've just been there before." the lightning, who knocked out both new jersey and boston in five contests to start the postseason, have 18 players that have combined for 273 conference final games and the capitals total is 28 going into the series. however, this washington team climbed out of a 2-0 hole in the first round by winning four in a row and triumphed at pittsburgh in game 6 without standout center nicklas backstrom, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. "i think we've got to be greedy," washington defenseman matt niskanen told reporters. "we've got to want more because this is a heck of a run. i don't know if there is a group out there that knows how hard it is to get to this point (more than this one). so don't waste the opportunity."

tv: 8 p.m. et, nbc sports network, tva

about the capitals: backstrom, who owns 13 points in the playoffs, has been skating on his own while forward andre burakovsky (upper-body injury) practiced thursday and is also considered day-to-day after missing the last 10 games. captain alex ovechkin makes his first appearance in the conference final after recording a team-high eight goals in 12 playoff contests, and his club-best 15 points are one better than linemate evgeny kuznetsov - who scored the overtime winner in game 6 at pittsburgh. john carlson boasts 11 points in the playoffs and fellow defenseman brooks orpik, who has appeared in 137 postseason games, leads the team with a plus-9 rating.
about the lightning: brayden point, along with linemates tyler johnson and ondrej palat, have limited their opponent's top threesome at even strength in the first two series and will likely get another test with the tom wilson-kuznetsov-ovechkin line. right wing nikita kucherov leads the team with six goals and 12 points in the playoffs while linemate steven stamkos scored two of his three goals in the last three games. goalie andrei vasilevskiy, who boasts a 2.20 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in the postseason, was 0-3-0 versus the capitals before winning two of three while posting a .930 sp against them in 2017-18.

overtime

1. washington g braden holtby, who owns a 2.04 gaa in the playoffs, is 9-3-2 with a .910 sp in 16 career games against the lightning.

2. tampa bay d victor hedman had six points - all on assists - against boston after failing to hit the scoresheet in the first round.

3. the lightning have won the last eight playoff games against the capitals, taking the final four contests in 2003 and sweeping in 2011.

prediction: lightning 4, capitals 2

# 2 RAGING LADY 8/5

# 5 EZ GIRL 10/1

# 8 S S TAYLOR 8/1

RAGING LADY looks like the bet in here. Is difficult not to consider based on Equibase Speed Figs which have been solid - 56 avg - of late. This equine is highly ranked this group in earnings per start at the distance/surface. The rapid return to the races points to a strong effort this time around. S S TAYLOR - Is difficult not to consider given the company run in lately. I would lean toward this filly on the rider and conditioner numbers alone.

# 2 JONAH 7/5

# 7 RASTA FRIEND (BRZ) 10/1

# 3 RUTH LESS BLUE 5/1

JONAH looks quite good to best this field. He has been running soundly and the Equibase Speed Figures are among the best in this group. This horse has a fantastic win percent in dirt sprints. Has quite good early pace and will most likely fare solidly against this group of horses. RASTA FRIEND (BRZ) - Looks strong to be close to the lead at the first call. Gaffney has this gelding racing well and is a decent choice based on the respectable speed figs put up in sprint races recently. RUTH LESS BLUE - Can't overlook the connections here, a 23 winning percentage, one of the most favorable at getting into the winner's circle. With a strong 77 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's outing.

RUN ADRIAN RUN -

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 HARDLY SEEN SLIM (ML=5/2), #7 POWER STRIKE (ML=3/1), #3 EL HOMBRE (ML=4/1),

HARDLY SEEN SLIM - Hard to play at 5/2 odds after the two most recent efforts. Hard to put your cash on the win end of any thoroughbred that finishes second and third as frequently as this one does. POWER STRIKE - Hasn't been coming close at all recently. EL HOMBRE - This horse hasn't been in the mix in either of his last couple of races.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - RUN ADRIAN RUN - I'm making a wager on this one today. A softer field is going to make a big difference. Will be competitive today.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#5 BOMBONERO (ML=7/2)
#2 SENSATIONAL NOTION (ML=9/2)


BOMBONERO - As long as Ruiz keeps this racer off the pace, I have to believe this one could be a big winner. Taking a class drop in class figure points from his Mar 10th race at Turfway Park. Based on that data, I will give this horse the advantage. This colt's last speed rating recorded on Mar 10th is utmost in last race speed figures. SENSATIONAL NOTION - After the contest aboard this horse on February 11th, the jockey is going to be in tune with the gelding much better. Got to appreciate a good work horse. This gelding's last work was second fastest of the day for the distance. A big drop down in class rating points from his February 11th race at Laurel. Based on that data, I will give this animal the advantage. Sub-par outing last time out at Laurel was due to the off-going (he ran seventh). Will most certainly do better in today's race without a sloppy track.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 VOO DUDE (ML=3/1), #3 HOPKINS CHOICE (ML=4/1), #6 PORT LOUIS (ML=6/1),

VOO DUDE - This questionable contender didn't go to the front and didn't make up any ground down the lane last time he ran. No success for this entrant in a short distance contest over the last two months tells me that this gelding is in a formidable situation HOPKINS CHOICE - Somewhat easily forgotten speed figure in the last race at Laurel at 7 furlongs. Don't believe this runner will improve too much in today's race. PORT LOUIS - In any race of 6 furlongs, I like to support a contender that has been sharp in sprint affairs recently.

Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Final Game 1 Betting Preview and Odds: Capitals at Lightning

Washington Capitals at Tampa Bay Lightning (-175, 6)

Series tied 0-0.

The Tampa Bay Lightning hope to use their experience and the visiting Washington Capitals look to ride the momentum of one of the best playoff runs in franchise history as the teams meet for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final Friday night. The Lightning have reached the conference final three times in the last four seasons and Washington makes its first appearance since 1998 after vanquishing its nemesis Pittsburgh in the second round.

“It’s more ‘We’re on a mission’ excitement,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper told reporters. “It’s a little different than it was three years ago with the same group. There’s a confidence about them in the way we’re playing, how we’ve arrived at where we are right now, and a lot of that has to do because they’ve just been there before.” The Lightning, who knocked out both New Jersey and Boston in five contests to start the postseason, have 18 players that have combined for 273 conference final games and the Capitals total is 28 going into the series. However, this Washington team climbed out of a 2-0 hole in the first round by winning four in a row and triumphed at Pittsburgh in Game 6 without standout center Nicklas Backstrom, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. “I think we’ve got to be greedy,” Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen told reporters. “We’ve got to want more because this is a heck of a run. I don’t know if there is a group out there that knows how hard it is to get to this point (more than this one). So don’t waste the opportunity.”

SERIES PRICE (PER WESTGATE LV SUPERBOOK):

W L OTL GAA Save % SO
Braden Holtby 34 16 4 2.99 .907 0
Andrei Vasilevskiy 44 17 3 2.62 .920 8

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (57-28-8-1, 52-40 O/U): Backstrom, who owns 13 points in the playoffs, has been skating on his own while forward Andre Burakovsky (upper-body injury) practiced Thursday and is also considered day-to-day after missing the last 10 games. Captain Alex Ovechkin makes his first appearance in the conference final after recording a team-high eight goals in 12 playoff contests, and his club-best 15 points are one better than linemate Evgeny Kuznetsov - who scored the overtime winner in Game 6 at Pittsburgh. John Carlson boasts 11 points in the playoffs and fellow defenseman Brooks Orpik, who has appeared in 137 postseason games, leads the team with a plus-9 rating.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (62-25-3-2, 54-35 O/U): Brayden Point, along with linemates Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat, have limited their opponent’s top threesome at even strength in the first two series and will likely get another test with the Tom Wilson-Kuznetsov-Ovechkin line. Right wing Nikita Kucherov leads the team with six goals and 12 points in the playoffs while linemate Steven Stamkos scored two of his three goals in the last three games. Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, who boasts a 2.20 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in the postseason, was 0-3-0 versus the Capitals before winning two of three while posting a .930 SP against them in 2017-18.
