NHL betting takes front and center at sportsbooks on Wednesday with Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  The Chicago Blackhawks exploded for seven goals in Game 5 to take a 3-2 advantage in the series.  Now they can clinch the series with a victory in Philadelphia, though the Flyers are hoping to get back to Chicago for a decisive seventh game.

The Flyers have won 10 of the last 11 meetings against Chicago at home, but we’re looking for the Blackhawks to wrap up the series here.  They’ve finally figured out that the way to beat the Flyers is ‘shock and awe’ offense, and Philadelphia simply can’t match Chicago’s skill players.  When leading 3-2 in a series the Blackhawks are 12-7 in Game 6 and 16-3 in the series.  The Flyers, on the other hand, are 6-9 in Game 6 when trailing 2-3 and 2-13 in series.  The Blackhawks are on a four game winning streak in Game 6, and the Flyers won their second series down 2-3 earlier in this playoffs when they came back to beat Boston.

We’ll also go Over the total once again–the two teams have combined for 40 goals in the first 5 games, which is the most through five games of a Stanley Cup finals since 1981.  Four of the five games of the series have gone over the total, and we look for the offense to continue in Game 6.  The Flyers have gone Over in 8 of their last 11, while the Blackhawks have gone Over in 6 of 9.  The Blackhawks wrap up the Stanley Cup in another offensive shootout.
