With five games already contested in the Eastern Conference First Round best-of-7 series and Montreal holding a 3-2 lead after a 3-2 Game 5 victory on April 29, traders see virtual certainty for at least Game 6—ensuring over 5.5 total games—as the Lightning host elimination pressure at home on May 1. This tight matchup, featuring overtime decisions in Games 1, 2, and 3 plus consistent low-scoring resilience from goaltenders Jakub Dobes and Andrei Vasilevskiy, has extended beyond early expectations despite Tampa Bay's Game 4 equalizer. Barring extraordinary disruptions like widespread injuries, postponements, or league cancellation, the series heads to six or seven games, aligning with the 99.8% implied probability on over.
