Big Al McMordie
Al McMordie's on a 29-14 run, and is also 21-8 his last 29 in Hockey after cashing his NHL Total of the Year on the Canadiens/Sabres Under, and also cashing the Canadiens. Here, pick up Big Al's Game 1 Winner in the Hurricanes/Canadiens Eastern Conference Final, and light the lamp on Thursday night.
Stephen Nover
Picking his spots with the utmost care, Stephen easily cashed his NHL Total of the Month by five goals this past Saturday with the Over in the Sabres-Canadiens Game 6 playoff matchup. That pushed Stephen's NHL hot streak to 39-21-2, a 65 percent long-term winning percentage. Now Stephen has found his first hockey play since then - a Max Unit totals play on Game 1 in the Montreal-Carolina Eastern Conference Finals as he looks to go 6-1 on his last seven NHL plays. Don't miss it!
