Online betting gamblers that bet on NHL action might look to Pittsburgh but the Penguins know the entire series won’t be easy. “They’re the champs, and they’ll be a big challenge for us,” Pittsburgh forward Miroslav Satan said.
Pittsburgh was a solid home team during the regular season for gamblers who bet on NHL action while Detroit was one of the better road teams in hockey. The Penguins were even better than their overall home record though since they played far better once Dan Bylsma took over as head coach.
There should be a lot of goals scored in this NHL Stanley Cup betting series. The Red Wings were the top offense in the league this season while Pittsburgh was not far behind at #6. Neither team was anything special on defense as both were below average. In NHL Stanley Cup betting action though, both teams have picked up their defensive intensity so that could be a factor in keeping the scores somewhat under control.
