While looking for a reasonable explanation for the Wings/Hawks odds for today . . . I found this information on Best of 7 Series probabilities :
Perfection Writ Large:
The Detroit Red Wings shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 2-goals-nil in Game 4 of their series to take a 3-games-1 lead. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff series, teams winning Game 4 by shutout to take a 3-games-1 series lead have a perfect 37-0 series record.

Probabilities; Inevitabilities:
Before winning Game 4 of their playoff series in overtime, the Rangers in New York trailed the Boston Bruins by two goals as late as 8:38 into the second period. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2012, inclusive, home teams down two goals 8:38 into the second period had a 37-273 (.119) game record. Leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Boston Bruins have an active five-Game 5 losing streak; down 3-games-1, the Rangers have an active six-Game 5 losing streak. Unless New York makes the Bruins tie the Rangers’ own streak (while simultaneously snapping their own), this series ends in Game 5.
