Premium NHL Pick: April 27

Detroit Red Wings @ Phoenix Coyotes:

What a series this has been. When we thought Detroit Red Wings would end it, Coyotes came to Detroit and won the 6th game and tied the series at 3-3. They did this even when they played without their captain Shane Doan.

Coyotes had a great season, which has exceeded everyon's expectations from this team. Noone really thought they'd make it to the playoffs. Not to mention taking the series against the Wings to a 7th game.

When Detroit came to Jobing.com Arena the last time last week, they beat the Coyotes 7-4. They outplayed them and their offense was on fire. Even against a great goaltender like Bryzgalov.

Captain Shane Doan may be back tonight after suffering an injury in Game 3 which sidelined him for three games.

I liked the way Coyotes reacted in Game 6,. They knew they had to win it and they did that in a way you wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen with your own eyes. They played better than the Wings all three periods and they deserved the victory 100%. Bryzgalov was excellent in first minutes of the first period and then the Coyotes started scoring. That is how they should play tonight. Detroit will make this harder as you can imagine. With such a strong squad, Wings only need to play their best to beat any team in the NHL. If they play well, I am sure they will get what they want and they will continue.

This will be such an interesting match to watch.

I will go with OVER 5 Goals on this one. 7th games go OVER if one team breaks the deadlock anytime in first 2 periods. Home teams are usually the winners in 7th games in history but I see Wings closer to victory tonight. However, it's still best to bet on OVER 5 Goals. This game has the potential to go OVER even in just 2 periods.

PREMIUM NHL PICK: OVER 5 GOALS [including OT]
