The Coach's NHL Ducks/Hawks Game 5 ANNIHILATOR
(NHL) Chicago vs. Anaheim,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -250.00 Chicago (Away)
Result: Win
The Chicago Blackhawks and the Anaheim Ducks are coming into Game 5 of the series tied at 2-2. Three of the four games have been decided by just one goal, and the Hawks have already prevailed once here at the Duck Pond. I like their chances of recording an upset on the road tonight as well.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Blackhawks Routine - The Blackhawks current core players are the same as when they won the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013. With this now being effectively a best-of-three series, I like the team that's been there and done that before.

2. Situational - The Hawks have won four of the last five match-ups at Anaheim and six of their last seven playing on one days rest.

3. X-Factor - Four of the Blackhawks 14 games in the post-season have gone past regulation with the Hawks coming out ahead each time.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 (5*)
