If you like a lot goals, you will be disappointed with this series.

The Canucks and Kings meet up in a first round series that will likely be determined by how good, or bad one sides goal tending is. During the regular season the Canucks and Kings clashed four times, splitting the season-series 2-2. In those four games goals were at a premium with 16 goals scored total and the Under going 1-0-3.

This may be the best series in the opening round. The Penguins and Flyers don’t like each other and the bad blood could boil over in a seven-game series.

The Penguins and Flyers met up to close out the regular season last week, but don’t take too much from the Penguins 4-2 win in that contest. The Flyers rested both their top scorer, Claude Giroux, and their starting goalie, Ilya Bryzgalov, in that game.

The Florida Panthers are back in the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade but not many people are giving them much of a chance to go very far in the postseason.

The Panthers may be the No. 3 seed in the East after winning the Southeast division but they’re a +165 series underdog versus New Jersey at Bodog.ca. The Devils, who actually finished with 10 more wins and eight more points than Florida are a -190 series favorite.

The Washington Capitals haven’t been able to deliver in the postseason as the favorite in recent years. Now we’ll get to see if they can do better as the underdog.

For the first time in what seems like a long time the Capitals are a playoff underdog in their opening series against the Bruins at +190 at Bodog.ca. The Bruins will begin the opening round as a -230 favorite in the series.

The Senators are big underdogs in this series, but they could pull off a big upset if they dominate the Rangers like they did during the regular season.

At Bodog.ca the Sens are a +190 underdog in the series, while the Rangers are a -230 favorite. During the regular season Ottawa went 3-1 against New York which included a pair of wins at Madison Square Garden.
