This one let us down last game, but we are going back to it. his shots are down in the playoffs, and between the regular season and the playoffs he has been held under this line in 47/76(61.8%) of games. an away game 6 should be hard fought so I don't think it is a good matchup even with Hagel playing more minutes than usual.
