Blues take the advantage back to St.Louis with a very iffy call in OT and the Sharks just keep winning.

So how does that team that lost home ice advantage do in game 3 on the road ? Not so good. In all rounds they are just a 50-50 split and in the quarterfinals round a horrible 43.5. So depending on your take the Pens are a slight overlay or just about right. Interesting thing is that Pinnacle has the Pens juiced a good bit more than other books, which is completely opposite than usual.

Well we have 2 games that are the very same situation as the game last night. Let's hop back in the wayback machine to see what was said about it.

Here we have TB and Dallas in the exact same situation. TB is a tossup pick for all rounds, but if you go by the quarterfinal rounds percentage then the Isles are the pick here. In St Louis the Stars are getting a nice +120 payback, so for all rounds it's a must pick, but in quarterfinals it almost breaks even.

A note on the Stars, they have lost their last 3 games in St.Louis and the last 7 of 9 game against the Blues.

How about the Sharks coming off winning both games at home. . The odds makers are telling you something by making the Preds a -111 fave tonight. Well I am not quite sure what exactly, considering that teams in this situation (Sharks) win in all rounds at a 51.9% and for the quarterfinals hitting at a nice 60.7%

But with all that said, there is a very good reason why the Preds are a slight fave here. The home team when these two meet up is 38-18 in the last 56 games.
