11-17-21 | Blackhawks +135 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-2 | Win | 135 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hawks have won three straight games with their new head coach, but they are still winless on the road. They take on the Kraken who have lost four straight games and 7 of the last 10. The Kraken are just 3-4-0 at home and the Hawks won’t go winless on the road all season. There aren’t many good options tonight with just three games and I think this game is closer to a toss-up, so I like the value in the Hawks to get their first road win. |

11-16-21 | Hurricanes -130 v. Golden Knights | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Knights already are emaciated at forward due to injury/COVID and now they just lost another one in Jonathan Marchessault. He has nine goals and four assists in 15 games this season. Hard to see the short-handed Knights beating the excellent Hurricanes and Frederik Andersen (1.77 GAA). |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Capitals v. Ducks UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Some books have this at 5.5 goals so let's grab 6 while Caesars has that available. Anaheim has been shockingly good offensively thus far, but I don't buy that continues. John Gibson, meanwhile, has been great in net overall and especially at home with a 5-1 record and 1.51 GAA. The Caps' Vitek Vanecek has a 2.34 GAA on the year. Washington already is down a few key offensive guys and now Lars Eller (eight points) is iffy. The Under is 4-1 in Ducks' last five games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Sharks v. Wild -176 | 4-1 | Loss | -176 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wild return home off a successful three-game road trip to open a brief two-game homestand against the reeling Sharks on Tuesday night. I like their chances of extending their home dominance. Note that the Wild check in 19-7 in their last 26 games following consecutive road contests, outscoring the opposition by 1.1 goals on average in that spot. On the flip side, the Sharks are a miserable 12-34 in their last 46 contests following consecutive road tilts over the last two-plus seasons, outscored by a wide margin of 1.4 goals on average in that situation. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Oilers v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A rare total of 6.5 in the NHL! I honestly don't care who is playing, I'll always take Under this. Edmonton can be awesome offensively at times but also has scored two goals in two of its past four. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has a 1.96 GAA at home this year. This, my friends, is a no-brainer. The only way I see losing this is a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation but we probably will not see a total of 7 in the entire regular season. The Under is 4-0-1 in Winnipeg's past five at home. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Canadiens v. Rangers -180 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I expect this ML to only rise today -- Montreal has been obliterated by injury and probably will have to start third-string goaltender Sam Montembeault again, and he has struggled. The Rangers enter on a three-game winning streak and have the much better goalie in Igor Shesterkin. The Canadiens are 1-10 in their past 11 on the road. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Flames v. Flyers +107 | 1-2 | Win | 107 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Carter Hart is 4-3-2 with a 2.32 GAA and .931 save percentage on the season and Jacob Markstrom has been hit or miss since his incredible start to the season. However, Markstrom has lost 4 of his last 5 games while the Flames have lost 5 of their last 7 games overall. Ryan Ellis is out of the lineup for the Flyers but the Flyers at plus money at home is too good to pass up against a team who has lost 5 of 7. I like the value in the Flyers. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Islanders v. Panthers -165 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders are coming off a loss last night in Tampa Bay but it was more the way they lost. They expended a lot of energy with all the badblood between these teams facing each other in the last two playoffs. Now they face the Panthers in Florida before they head back to New York for their first home game of the season on Saturday. Sergei Bobrovsky will face Ilya Sorokin and both goaltenders have been very good this season. However, the Islanders are still struggling to score, as evidenced last night, so they shouldn’t be able to keep up with the Islanders. The Islanders should be looking forward to their home opener and the Panthers have yet to lose a game at home this season. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -124 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's rare to find the Lightning, at home, in this price range. While the Isles can be fairly tough against bad teams, they're 0-6 their last six against teams with a winning record. They typically don't fare too well here either. The home team has taken each of the past four meetings. You may recall that those four games came in the playoffs last year. (Tampa won in seven, winning each of their final three here.) In fact, the Lightning won the last two meetings, here at Tampa, by a combined score of 9-0. Tampa was laying -180 and -187 in those games. The Isles are growing weary from a long road trip. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Red Wings v. Blue Jackets -125 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Columbus goaltender Elvis Merzlikins has allowed nine goals and lost both starts against the New York Rangers this season but given up just eight goals in five starts against everyone else and won them all. The Jackets are 5-1 in the past six at home vs. the Wings. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Canucks v. Ducks -140 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ducks are the hottest team in hockey right now and they get to face a reeling Canucks team who has lost 3 straight and 7 of their last 9 games. The Ducks have won 6 straight games and the Canucks are playing the second game of a back-to-back. The Ducks are 5-2-1 at home this season so I will ride them while they’re hot. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Penguins v. Capitals -140 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Caps are playing their third game in four nights while the Penguins are playing the second game of a back to back so home ice should be big here. Vitek Vanecek should be back in net for the Caps after getting the last two games off for maintenance while Tristan Jarry should start for the Penguins after getting last night off. The Caps are still missing many key players but they have still jumped to a 8-2-4 start including three straight wins. The Penguins are 5-4-4 and 1-1-2 on the road this season. They are getting Sidney Crosby and Brian Doumulin back from COVID IR but they lost the first game Sidney Crosby returned for. Take the Caps at home. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Oilers -105 v. Blues | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues are playing their second game in two nights while the Oilers are playing their third game in four nights. Both Jordan Binnington and Mikko Koskinen should be back in the lineup after getting their last game off. Both teams are coming off a loss and both teams have been very good defensively this season. It is easy to see why the line is where it is, but the Blues have lost three of four games after a strong start. I think the Oilers are the better team and they should be a little more rested, so I will take the Oilers on the road. |
|||||||
11-14-21 | Devils v. Rangers -133 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I usually tend to stay away from this many favorites on a swing day like a Sunday, but there’s a lot of value across the board today so might as well go for it. Both these teams played last night, and both these teams traveled after their game. Both teams are also expected to play their backup goalies after their starters played last night. The Rangers won 6 of 8 games between these teams last season including the last 6 in a row. I just think the Rangers are the better team in this matchup, and clearly they seem to have figured something out against them head to head. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Wild -110 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kraken have lost 3 straight games and they are 3-7-0 in their last 10 games. The Wild are coming off a loss but they are 5-3-0 on the road this season and they have been scoring a lot. Cam Talbot has been really good in net for them and they take on the struggling Kraken after a loss. I like the Wild on the road at basically a pick em. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Canadiens v. Red Wings -113 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red wings were shut out by the Caps in Zach Fucale’s debut in their last game so I think they will come out hungry. The Canadiens are 1-5-0 on the road this season and Alex Nedeljkovic should be back in the net for the Red Wings. I like the Red Wings at home at this price. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Kings +156 v. Jets | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unit The Kings are one of the hottest teams in hockey right now, so I am not sure why they are this heavy underdogs. They have won 7 straight games while the Jets have lost their last two games at home. The Kings and Ducks are both on fire right now but are expected to be bad this season giving good value, so I am going to ride these teams while they are hot. Both goalies are playing very well for the Kings and there’s no value on puck lines right now, so I like the road team while they’re hot. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Rangers v. Blue Jackets +125 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unit The Blue Jackets erased a two-goal deficit last night but they were eventually beat by the Caps. However, tonight Elvis Merzlikins (5-1 1.98 GAA) will be starting, and the Blue Jackets are at home despite it being a back to back. The Rangers actually have the worst goal differential in the Metropolitan Division despite their 17 points, so I think they are due for a regression. I like the value on the Blue Jackets at home behind Merzlikins. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Capitals v. Blue Jackets +118 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Caps played in Detroit last night and now they travel to Columbus to face the stingy Blue Jackets defense. The Blue Jackets last played on Saturday so this is this ultimate rust vs. rest argument. The Blue Jackets are 5-1-0 at home this season and both goalies have been very good for them. Vitek Vanecek was out for last night’s game for a maintenance day so it will be either Vanecek or Ilya Samsonov in net for the Caps. Regardless of who is in net, I still think the Blue Jackets have the goalie advantage. The Caps have lost 5 of the last 7 games in this matchup, take the home dog. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Ducks +155 v. Seattle Kraken | 7-4 | Win | 155 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ducks are one of the hottest teams in hockey right now with 5 straight wins. The Kraken are still just 4-8-1 on the season and they have lost 2 straight games. I have been staying away from heavy road dogs this season, but I am not sure why the Kraken are this big favorites. They have won just 4 out of 13 games this season and both teams are relatively healthy. I would go with the puck line but it is at -200 which is just ridiculous for a team that is an underdog. There just hasn’t been any value on puck lines at all this season so we will go with the hot underdog. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Flames -130 v. Canadiens | 2-4 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Calgary owns a plus-91 shot differential, while the Canadiens are plus-2 this season. The Flames have scored 41 goals and allowed 26. Montreal has netted 28 tallies and yielded 48. Calgary is coming off a 4-1 loss despite outshooting San Jose 38-28. The Flames are ranked No. 14 in faceoff winning percentage, while Montreal is 29th. The Canadiens also have amassed the sixth-most penalty minutes in the NHL. This line will close at Calgary -150, so get down now. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Panthers -120 v. Penguins | 2-3 | Loss | -120 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Florida is on a two-game skid and was outscored 11-6 in those, but Spencer Knight was in net for those. It will be Sergei Bobrovsky here, and he's a stellar 6-0-0 with a 1.72 goals-against average and .948 save percentage. Pittsburgh could be down four defensemen (and is without Sidney Crosby) due to COVID/injury. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Kings -107 v. Senators | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ottawa is severely short-handed right now because of a bit of a COVID outbreak and third-string netminder Filip Gustavsson will have to start because of it. He has allowed nine combined goals in his past two outings. I don't much like the Kings as a whole and probably wouldn't take them on the road in most other situations, but I certainly favor Jonathan Quick (2.26 GAA) in the goaltender matchup. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Oilers +133 v. Bruins | 5-3 | Win | 133 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Mikko Koskinen will be starting for the Oilers and he is 7-1-0 this season with a 2.54 GAA. Linus Ullmark will start for the Bruins over Jeremy Swayman and he has been solid. The Bruins are 5-0-0 at home this season but the Oilers are 9-2-0 on the season. The Oilers were one of the best road teams in the league last season, I like the value on the road team. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Maple Leafs v. Flyers +120 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Maple Leafs are 1-3-0 on the road this season and John Tavares is a game time decision. Jack Campbell has been very good but so has Carter Hart to start the season. The Flyers are 6-2-2 overall and 3-1-1 at home this season. These teams didn’t see each other last season so there isn’t a ton of matchup history here, but the Flyers have won 5 of the last 6 games between these teams in Philly. I think the wrong team is favored, so I am riding the home dog tonight. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Maple Leafs v. Flyers UNDER 6 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Leafs goaltender Jack Campbell has a 2.09 GAA this season and that number is 1.75 this month. Flyers counterpart Carter Hart has a 1.98 GAA at home. Toronto star John Tavares is a game-time decision with an injury. I am monitoring that and if he's out will come back on the Flyers moneyline -- I might anyways. The Under is 6-1 in the Maple Leafs' past seven road games. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Golden Knights -110 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Knights are still missing many key players, but the Kraken are 1-5-1 on the road this season. They also just gave the Coyotes their first win of the season by blowing a late 3rd period lead. The Golden Knights know Philip Grubauer from his time in Colorado and Grubauer is just 4-5-1 with a 2.97 GAA this season. Take the Knights at home. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Penguins -115 v. Blackhawks | 2-3 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Even with Evgeni Malkin (knee) and Sidney Crosby (wrist/COVID) appearing in a total of one game thus far this season, Pittsburgh has stayed afloat offensively as 16 different players have scored a goal, with seven recording three or more. The Penguins posted a 5-2 win at home on Oct. 16 against Chicago, which has lost 11 of its first 13 games. The Blackhawks have scored fewer than three goals in eight of their contests while Pittsburgh has allowed two or fewer in half of its 10 games. Take the Penguins. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Penguins v. Blackhawks UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I'll pretty much go Under 6 goals whenever I can ... Chicago is still among the NHL's lowest-scoring teams, and both clubs remain without a couple of key forwards due to injury, COVID, etc. Both netminders -- Tristan Jarry and Marc-Andre Fleury -- are capable of dominating. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Blues v. Jets -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets were shutout at home for their first home loss of the season in their last game, so I expect a better effort out of them tonight. The Blues started hot, but they have won just 3 of Jordan Binnington’s last 4 starts. Connor Hellebuyck should be returning tonight from an illness and the Jets are healthy. Take the value on the Jets at home. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Hurricanes +115 v. Lightning | 2-1 | Win | 115 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hurricanes are coming off their first loss of the season and were quite possibly looking ahead to this game. Tampa Bay eliminated the Hurricanes in five games from last year's playoffs. Note: Carolina outshot Tampa Bay 151-133 in the series. The Hurricanes own a +44 shot differential in 10 games, while Tampa Bay has a +16 shot differential in 11 games. Carolina has scored 39 goals while allowing 20. Tampa Bay has scored 35 goals while allowing 34. The Lightning are 0-4 in in their past four games when playing with two days of rest. Tampa Bay will be without top blue-liner Mikhail Sergachev, as he's serving a two-game suspension. Take the road dog. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Hurricanes v. Lightning OVER 5.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canes allowed 4 goals in the first period of their last game so they should come out with more urgency defensively. However, they will need to keep up with the Lightning with scoring on the road. These teams know each other so well so I expect it to be a back-and-forth matchup. I like this over at 5.5 because we get the win scenario at 4-2 with an empty netter or if it gets tied 3-3. Take the over. |
|||||||
11-08-21 | Panthers -119 v. Rangers | 3-4 | Loss | -119 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams were off Sunday after playing Saturday, when the host Panthers ended the Carolina Hurricanes' nine-game winning streak with a 5-2 win and the Rangers absorbed a 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames. The loss was the third straight for the Rangers, who opened the four-game road trip by beating the Seattle Kraken 3-1 on Halloween night but were outscored 15-7 in losing to the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and Flames. The shutout Saturday capped a frustrating back-to-back set for the Rangers, who began trending for all the wrong reasons in squandering a 4-1 lead against the Oilers in Friday's 6-5 overtime loss. Connor McDavid forced overtime by weaving through four New York players to collect the tying goal with 2:59 left before Leon Draisaitl scored 3:27 into the extra session. The Rangers then mustered just 22 shots Saturday, when they gave up at least six goals in a second consecutive game for the first time since Jan. 2 and 4, 2019, when New York fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-2 and the Colorado Avalanche 6-1. With the NHL-leading Panthers awaiting, the Rangers lamented their inability to knock off the Oilers and Flames, who entered play Sunday ranked first and second in the Western Conference in points. At 10-0-1, the Panthers have thus far made winning look simple. They are on the longest points streak to start a season since the Chicago Blackhawks opened 21-0-3 in 2012-13 and are one game shy of tying the franchise record for the longest points streak to start a season. Of Florida's 10 wins, just three (overtime victories over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals) have been by fewer than two goals. |
|||||||
11-08-21 | Panthers v. Rangers OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers are good defensively, but the Canes were one of the best defensive teams in the league before the Panthers put up four goals on them in the first period. Both goalies have been good this season, but Shesterkin allowed 6 goals in his last game. The Panthers are very potent offensively and I think that will make this game high scoring. The Panthers road games average 5 goals per game while the Rangers home games average 5 goals per game, so it is easy to why this is the line. However, the Panthers should still get their 3-4 goals while the Rangers should be able to score 2-3 themselves. Take this before it moves to 6. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Stars v. Canucks UNDER 5.5 | 3-6 | Loss | -122 | 4 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Five straight Canucks games have landed on five goals or fewer so why wouldn't I go Under here? Dallas is the third-worst scoring team in the league and has scored more than three goals once. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Islanders v. Wild -115 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these teams played last night and won, but the Wild will be at home while the Islanders are still on their month long road trip to start the season. The Wild came back from down 4-2 to tie the game with 2 seconds left before winning it in a shootout. They are still missing Mats Zuccarello but they should bring some of that momentum with them into tonight’s game. The Islanders have been playing well lately on the road, but Semyon Varlamov will make his first start of the season tonight after being out due to general soreness from their playoff run. Take the Wild at home. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Islanders v. Jets +109 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eric Comrie has been very good in relief for Connor Hellebuyck while he has been out with a sickness, and the Jets are still undefeated at home. The Islanders are still in the midst of their month-long road trip to start the season and they are 4-2-2. They have allowed just 20 goals all season but they have also only scored 23. This value on the Jets at home is just too good to pass up, I like the value on the Jets. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Bruins v. Maple Leafs -128 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This rivalry gets renewed for the first time since 2019 but this time will be without Tuuka Rask and Nick Foligno for the Bruins. The Bruins are also 1-3-0 on the road this season while the Maple Leafs are 5-1-1 at home. The Leafs have won four straight games and they do tend to win the home games in this series despite getting dominated when in Boston and in the playoffs. Take the Maple Leafs at home. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Avalanche v. Blue Jackets +156 | 2-4 | Win | 156 | 3 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blue Jackets are 4-1-0 at home this season and they are 6-3-0 on the season. Elvis Merzlikins is starting, and he is 4-1-0 with a 1.97 GAA on the season. The Aves are just 4-4-1 to start the season including 2-2-0 on the road. The Blue Jackets will be without Patrick Laine, who will be out for 4-6 weeks, but the Aves will be without Cale Makar again, and they could be without Andre Burakovsky and Mikko Rantaanen as well. I like the value in the Blue Jackets at home. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Wild v. Penguins -116 | 5-4 | Loss | -116 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sidney Crosby and Brian Dumoulin are still out for the Penguins but Mats Zuccarello is out for the Wild. Kris Letang returned for the Penguins last game and proved to be a massive addition as he scored the OT goal to win. Both these goalies have been solid but the Wild have lost 6 of their last 7 games in Pittsburgh and 11 of the last 15 games overall, take the Penguins with the cheap home price. |
|||||||
11-06-21 | Hurricanes +126 v. Panthers | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers have played three straight OT games. They defeated the Capitals in OT despite getting outshot 42-33. Panthers interim coach Andrew Brunette, who led his team to a 5-4 overtime win over the visiting Washington Capitals on Thursday night, wasn't quite ready to talk about Carolina. "That was an exhausting game," Brunette said after Florida blew a 4-1 lead in the final 22 minutes before scoring in OT. "I can't even think (about Carolina yet). I'm just going to enjoy this one." You better be prepared for the Hurricanes, who sport a +44 shot differential. Carolina is ranked No. 4 in face-off win percentage while Florida is ranked No. 27 this season. I like the road team. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Devils v. Kings -120 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils are without their two best players in defenseman Dougie Hamilton and forward Jack Hughes. The former is out long term and has been missing for a while, but Hamilton was hurt Tuesday. He has been great with a co-team-leading six points and a plus-4 rating. The Kings are meh but have won three straight and are at home. This is more fading the Devils, who also are on the front end of a B2B. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Predators v. Canucks UNDER 5.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I generally will not do many Under 5.5s but every model out there has this as easily the lowest-scoring game of the night: SportsLine's has it with 4.9 goals. Neither team is great offensively, especially Vancouver, and the Preds are missing one of their best scorers in Filip Forsberg. Canucks netminder Thatcher Demko has a 2.39 GAA at home. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Ducks | 1-3 | Loss | -165 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I really had no interest in this game but now will take a shot on the winless Coyotes on the puckline at -170, which is the same price as an Anaheim moneyline win. The Yotes have been competitive of late and netminder Karel Vejmelka has a 1.69 GAA and .951 save percentage through his last three starts. He gets no offensive help. Ducks No. 1 goaltender John Gibson has just been ruled out and backup Anthony Stolarz is 0-2-1 with a 3.63 GAA. I smell upset win here but will take the +1.5. If Arizona were home, I would take it outright. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Rangers v. Oilers UNDER 6 | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I may come back and play Edmonton on the moneyline, but I'm often going to play Under 6 goals and will do so here. The Oilers obviously can score with anyone, but the Rangers aren't a high-scoring team and netminder Igor Shesterkin has been great with a 1.85 GAA. Edmonton's Mikko Koskinen has a 2.18 GAA and has allowed five combined goals in his past three. A few books had this at 6.5 so if you can get that do it for sure (6.5 is where I'll officially play it even if an alt line), but I can't here and I see it moving down already at those other ones. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Rangers v. Oilers -154 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Well, I got burned on the total because reports this morning were that No. 1 Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin was starting but now comes word that it's Alexandar Georgiev instead. He's still very capable but not as good. Maybe we still get lucky on the total but now I am on the Oilers moneyline, which has risen about 15 cents. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Blackhawks v. Jets UNDER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets apparently will stick with backup Eric Comrie in net because No. 1 Connor Hellebuyck is sick, but Comrie has been quite solid. Chicago's Marc-Andre Fleury has allowed just one goal in two of his past three. The Hawks are near the bottom in scoring at 2.27 per and remain without top-six forward Tyler Johnson. I was leaning the Jets on the ML, but it's a bit steep at -170 without Hellebuyck so I'll take the shot on the total and believe we will do no worse than a push. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Sabres v. Seattle Kraken UNDER 5.5 | 2-5 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second of a back-to-back for Buffalo, which will be without top-line forward Victor Olofsson for a second straight game due to injury. He has five goals and four assists. The Sabres are using backup Dustin Tokarski in net, but he has a 1.92 GAA this year in three appearances. Seattle, meanwhile, is just not a great offensive team -- no surprise as an expansion club -- but netminder Philipp Grubauer is more than capable of blanking short-handed Buffalo. He has a 1.77 GAA at home. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Stars v. Flames -140 | 4-3 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames burned us in their last game at home in OT to move to 1-0-2 at home this season. Jacob Markstrom has still been one of the best, if not the best, goalie so far this season while the Stars have been struggling to score. They have scored just 18 goals in 9 games and they are 2-3-1 on the road this season. The Stars have lost 4 straight games while the Flames have started 6-1-2, take the Flames at home. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Flyers v. Penguins -119 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units We went 0-3 on Penguins plays last week and all three losses were at home, but they can’t lose 4 straight at home can they?? The Penguins are currently last in the Metropolitan Division with their losing streak, so I think they finally put together a good game tonight. Carter Hart has been playing well to start the season but so has Tristan Jarry. Take the Pens at home. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Islanders v. Canadiens +120 | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders are now playing their 8th straight road game out of 13 straight road games the Islanders will play before they play their home opener. I don’t think the Canadiens are very good, but they are 2-3 at home and they picked up a win most recently at home. The Canadiens also have trouble scoring, but so do the Islanders with just 17 goals in 7 games, so that should wash out. Take the value in the Habs at home. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Golden Knights v. Senators +105 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Matt Murray is healthy again, and the Senators have been playing solid at home dating back to last season. The Golden Knights are just 2-2 on the road this season and they are in the middle of an East Coast road trip right now. Robin Lehner is just 3-5-0 with a 3.13 GAA on the season. William Karlsson broke his foot and will be out 6 weeks. Add that on to Alex Tuch, Mark Stone, and Max Pacioretty who are all already out for the Knights, and there is good value on the Senators at home. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Islanders v. Canadiens UNDER 5.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -133 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
The Under is pretty juiced here at -135 (we won't see a total of 5, though) but these are two of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL. The Habs we understand because they have been obliterated by injury and another key forward, Jonathan Drouin, will not play here. He took a puck to the head Tuesday and has seven points on the season. Montreal netminder Jake Allen comes off a shutout and has been better at home in 2021. Isles goaltender Ilya Sorokin has a 2.26 GAA on the season. |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Avalanche | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 26 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Colorado will be for sure without top winger Mikko Rantanen and stellar young defenseman Cale Makar, plus another key forward, Andre Burakovsky, is in question. Even more important, shaky backup Jonas Johansson already has been named the starter in net. Not ready to back Columbus at +175 to win outright on the road, although I thought about it, so we'll take the Jackets at -130 on the puckline. |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Hurricanes -145 v. Blackhawks | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The one-win Blackhawks aren't as bad as they've looked and the Hurricanes obviously aren't going 82-0, so would a Chicago win here totally shock me? No, but getting the Canes at just -145 is too good of value to pass up. Top-six Chicago forward Tyler Johnson remains out, and I tend to think No. 2 Kevin Lankinen starts in net. This ML is going to rise … |
|||||||
11-03-21 | Predators v. Oilers -215 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is about the limit of where I will go on the moneyline. Nashville is on the second of a back-to-back after burning me last night in Calgary with an overtime victory. Top-line winger Filip Forsberg (undisclosed) was injured in the third period and is in question for this one. The Preds also presumably will turn to No. 2 netminder Connor Ingram. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Sabres v. Sharks UNDER 6 | 3-5 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose has fallen off quite a bit offensively of late with six goals in its past four games. Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson is off to the best start of his career with a 1.98 GAA. Offensively, Buffalo is without three of its top centers due to injury. This has 3-2 written all over it. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Sabres +135 v. Sharks | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sabres have started the season 5-2-1 and they have allowed just 17 goals in 8 games, mostly in part due to Craig Anderson in the net. The Sharks have also started well at 5-3-0 and they have allowed just 19 goals in 8 games. However, I don’t think either of these teams is that great, so I think it is more of a toss up between the teams. I will take the underdog in the Sabres. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Predators v. Flames -144 | 3-2 | Loss | -144 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Calgary enters on a six-game winning streak and won all those but one by multiple goals. Jacob Markstrom stopped 93 of the 94 shots he faced last week and was named the NHL's No. 1 star. He has a 1.33 GAA overall this year. It's the front end of a back-to-back for the Preds so maybe they don't use No. 1 goaltender Juuse Saros here -- I still like Calgary regardless but this moneyline would jump a good 25 cents if it's not Saros. Nashville is 1-6 in its past seven as a road dog. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Stars v. Jets -120 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets are 2-0 at home this year and averaging 5.5 goals per game in them. They likely will get star center Mark Scheifele back from COVID protocols for this one as he's out of them and did practice Monday. Just a matter of conditioning. Dallas has lost three straight and totaled four goals in them. It's a bad offensive team. The Stars are 5-12 in their past 17 as road dogs. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Golden Knights v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vegas is absolutely gutted by injuries at forward so I don't see how the Knights are scoring more than maybe two goals in Toronto. The Leafs, meanwhile, really haven't gotten going yet scoring wise in averaging 2.33 goals and Auston Matthews with only one. Again, we may push here but hard to see seven goals. The Under is 10-3-2 in Maple Leafs' last 15 games following a win. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Red Wings +127 v. Canadiens | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings started 4-3-2 while the Canadiens have started 2-8-0. Most importantly, the Canadiens have only scored 19 goals this season and they are just 1-3-0 at home. The Red Wings have looked like an above average team to start the season and I just don’t see how the Canadiens can be this heavily favored against anyone right now. The Canadiens are also playing their first home game after a long West Coast road trip, so I like the value in the Red Wings. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Red Wings v. Canadiens UNDER 5.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Montreal is averaging just 1.90 goals per game and almost every good offensive player the Habs have is either out tonight or a game-time call. The Wings have been solid offensively so far but two of their leading scorers, Todd Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin, will miss this one. As it is Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen held Detroit to one goal on Oct. 23, also in Montreal. How about a 2-2 game at the end of 60 minutes? |
|||||||
11-01-21 | Senators +125 v. Blackhawks | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ottawa has been impressive to start the season. They can seemingly hang with anyone and are 3-4 which is better than most thought they'd be with their schedule. They've had the 7th hardest schedule in the league so far. Chicago, on the other hand, is 0-7-2 while all the offseason hype caused many to think this team was legitimate. Granted, they also had a tough schedule (9th hardest), but that's no excuse for being winless at this point. |
|||||||
11-01-21 | Senators v. Blackhawks UNDER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 1 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago is near the bottom of the NHL in goals at 1.89 per game but will get star Patrick Kane back from COVID protocols tonight. Not sure that will help all that much as he can't be 100 percent with so much time away from the club. Hawks netminder Marc-Andre Fleury has been terrible but comes off his best outing Saturday in St. Louis so maybe he figured something out. Ottawa gets back its No. 1 goaltender in Matt Murray. He was very good in his two starts before the injury. I really have a hard time seeing seven goals scored in this one to lose, but we might push. |
|||||||
11-01-21 | Capitals +130 v. Lightning | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Caps are missing many key players including TJ Oshie and Nicklas Backstrom, but Alex Ovechkin is leading the league in goals with 9 and the Caps have still yet to lose a game in regulation time. These two teams played the other week in DC and the Lightning picked up an OT win in a close game. The Caps were also the best road team in the league last season. There are only 3 games across the NHL tonight so not many options, but we will ride with the underdogs to get some action. |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Rangers v. Seattle Kraken UNDER 5.5 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two meh offensive teams both missing at least one top forward due to injury. Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin has a 1.81 goals-against average and .944 save percentage, while Seattle counterpart Philipp Grubauer has been terrific in back-to-back starts. |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Blue Jackets v. Devils UNDER 5.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils have scored 18 goals in 6 games and allowed just 17 goals. The Blue Jackets have allowed 19 goals in 7 games and allowed just 19. Both these teams play defense first, and neither team scores much. Jack Hughes is still out and neither team really has that star power. Elvis Merzlikins has been hot to start the season, so although the Devils have questions at goalie, I think the Blue Jackets defense could still keep this under. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Oilers -140 v. Canucks | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers are coming off their first loss of the season so they should be looking for a bounce back win after their 5-1-0 start. The Oilers won 6 of the 10 games between these teams last season, but the Oilers won 4 of 5 games in Vancouver. The Canucks have also started 0-2 at home this season and they lost to the Oilers in Edmonton already this season. I like the Oilers to bounce back from their loss. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Jets -103 v. Sharks | 1-2 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets started slow, but they have now won 4 straight games while the Sharks went the exact opposite route. They won their first 4 games and have now lost 3 straight. Blake Wheeler is expected to be back in the lineup and Connor Hellebuyck should be back in net after a night off last game. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Devils v. Penguins -143 | 4-2 | Loss | -143 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins were shutout in their last game against the Flames but they actually outshot the Flames, they just ran into a brick wall in Jacob Markstrom. That won’t happen tonight as they are expected to face Scott Wedgewood. The Penguins won 6 of the 8 meetings between these teams last season and they have won 5 straight games. The Penguins are banged up but so are the Devils, take the Penguins at home. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Panthers v. Bruins -125 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This will be the Panthers' second straight road game and third game in four nights. They defeated the Red Wings in overtime to remain undefeated. Boston is 0-2 in its past two games despite out-shooting both foes by a combined 64-49 mark. The Bruins dropped one of those games at Florida on Wednesday, despite winning 66 percent of the face-offs (37-19). Boston is ranked No. 7 in face-off win percentage, while the Panthers are ranked No. 26. The Bruins are 13-4 in their past 17 meetings in Boston. They were shut out in their last game and now return home for this revenge spot. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Senators v. Stars UNDER 5.5 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Let's hit the Under between two bad offensive teams in the Sens, who average 2.50 goals per game (skewed by 5 in one) and the Stars, who average just 1.86 and have not topped 3. How about a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation? Works for me. The Under is 7-0 in the Stars past seven overall. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Blackhawks v. Hurricanes -190 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canes are still undefeated while the Hawks are still defeated, so I am not sure why this line isn’t higher. The Canes played yesterday but with their style of play and both games being at home, they shouldn’t have a problem. They have allowed just 8 goals in 6 games this season while the Blackhawks are an absolute mess right now. They are 0-5-2 and they have to answer questions about the sexual abuse report from 2010 that just came out. They have also allowed 30 goals in 7 games despite trading for Marc-Andre Fleury. They have also only scored 14 goals and it won’t get any easier against the Canes at home. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Blue Jackets v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these goalies have been dominant to start the season and neither team has allowed or scored more than 20 goals yet this season. The Rangers have allowed 18 goals in 7 games while scoring just 15 goals, and the Blue Jackets have allowed just 15 goals in 6 games and scored 19. Defense has been a focus for both these teams early this season and with the strong goalie play between these teams, I like the under. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Canadiens v. Sharks -123 | 4-0 | Loss | -123 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sharks aren't exactly Stanley Cup favorites, but they are off to a very nice 4-2-0 start with all but one of those games on the road. They won in Montreal 5-0 on Oct. 19. So why is San Jose only -135 for Thursday at home against a Habs team that is 1-6-0 and down several injured players? I have no idea but will happily take this number now. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Jets v. Kings -112 | 3-2 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets are the better team overall but down two of their best forwards in Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele and are starting journeyman backup Eric Comrie in net. He of the 4.08 goals-against average and .873 save percentage in nine career NHL appearances. I won't back the Kings often but will at basically a pick'em here at home. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Sabres v. Ducks UNDER 5.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these teams haven’t been scoring much this season, and both these teams have had very good goaltender play so far. The Ducks have only allowed 20 goals in 7 games and they have only scored 24 goals. The Sabres have allowed just 11 goals in 6 games, and they have scored just 19. This should be a low scoring game, so I will go with the under. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Avalanche v. Blues +113 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues are one of the last three remaining undefeated teams, so why not ride them until they lose. They are 2-0 at home this season and they have allowed just 11 goals in 5 games. The Aves have struggled to a 2-4-0 start and they are coming off a brutal home loss to the injured Golden Knights. The Aves have scored just 16 goals in 6 games this season while the Blues have scored 25 goals in 5 games. Take the Blues at home to stay undefeated. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -125 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second of a back-to-back Thursday for Boston and sometimes it's like stealing when betting a cheap lookahead line like this because perhaps a key Bruins player gets hurt, etc., in Wednesday's game and this line would only rise. We don't root for injuries, but it obviously happens. Plus, B's goaltender Jeremy Swayman (already confirmed as starting) was shelled in his lone road start this season. Boston is 1-4 in its past five in the second of a B2B. Carolina is unbeaten, well-rested and healthy. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Flames v. Penguins -115 | 4-0 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sidney Crosby could return tonight for the Penguins, but even if he doesn’t, the Penguins have been playing well without him. The Flames have been on a roll on this road trip but they can’t continue this strong play forever and the Penguins are one of the best teams in the league. I like the value in the Penguins at home. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Flyers v. Oilers -176 | 5-3 | Loss | -176 | 13 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I'm a bit surprised the unbeaten Oilers aren't a bit bigger favorites, although No. 1 netminder Mike Smith remains out. Mikko Koskinen is a fine 1B and is 3-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .943 SV. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are scoring like crazy per usual. This is Philly's first road game of the season and that's a bit of an adjustment. The Flyers are missing a few guys due to injury, led by center Kevin Hayes and blueliner Ryan Ellis. Philadelphia is 9-20 in its past 29 as a dog. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Golden Knights v. Stars -140 | 3-2 | Loss | -140 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vegas burned me Tuesday at Colorado, but I stand by that pick because the Knights are so injury-riddled. That list grew Tuesday with forward Mattias Janmark leaving in the third period. Now it's the second of a back-to-back in Dallas, and it will be backup Laurent Brossoit apparently making his first start of the season in net. He's decent but a step down from Robin Lehner. It's just the second home game of the season for the Stars, who are 1-0 there and have won five straight dating to last season as home favorites. I expect this ML to grow by 20-30 cents. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Maple Leafs -165 v. Blackhawks | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago isn't just winless but HASN'T LED yet in six games. Five players, led by Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, and three coaches are in COVID protocols. And the front office was gutted Tuesday in the wake of the release of results of an independent investigation into sexual allegations on the team back in 2010. Toronto has been a disappointment but should wipe/Zamboni the ice with this bunch. With the Hawks and Bears, thank goodness for the Bulls or it would be a long, long winter. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Bruins v. Panthers -125 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anytime you get the Panthers at this low of a number at home, you have to take it. They were dominant there last season and 4-0 this year (well, the Cats haven't lost anywhere), winning three games by multiple goals. Sure, Boston could win because it is a good team, but it's still a great value play at just -125. The B's are 1-4 in their past five as dogs. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Canadiens v. Seattle Kraken -120 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canadiens finally got their first win of the season 6-1 at home, but they have still only scored 10 goals on the season total. The Kraken are having trouble scoring too, but they are playing their second home game. With all the festivities and excitement in the inaugural home game, it was easy to see why the Kraken players were wiped out by game time. However, tonight they should have a normal pregame routine for their second home game, and I think that will do them a world of difference. Take the Kraken at home. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Wild v. Canucks +105 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I rarely will take outright NHL dogs, but there's no value on the puckline here -- we are backing Vancouver because it's the franchise's first regular-season game in front of home fans in nearly 600 days so this will matter quite a bit to the players. The Nucks started this season on a six-game trip and won three. In the three games that young star Brock Boeser has played (he missed the first three), Vancouver is averaging 3.33 goals per game and is 2-1. Conor Garland is the first player in Canucks history to record a season-opening six-game point streak. Meanwhile, it's Minnesota's third game in four nights. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Sharks v. Predators UNDER 6 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating 2 Units Some books have this at 5.5 and I think at 6.0 we are safe from a loss (barring 3-3 at end of regulation) but may push. Sharks goaltender James Reimer has allowed just one goal in about 92 minutes of action this season (51 shots). Nashville's Juuse Saros has a 2.05 GAA in four home starts. The Under is 10-4-1 in the Predators' last 15 games as home favorites. The SportsLine Projection Model forecasts 5.4 goals, but there's no way this is getting to 6.5 at the books so we'll take our chances. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche -172 | 3-1 | Loss | -172 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a payback game for Colorado after being knocked out of last season's playoffs by Vegas. Both teams are struggling a bit in the early going. The Golden Knights are the only team left without a power-play goal this season (0-for-11) and they are absolutely gutted by injuries. That Colorado finally has its top line trio all healthy and got a big win at Tampa on Saturday, well, I think the Avs are about to take off. The home team is 5-1 in the past six meetings. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Lightning v. Penguins +115 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins were without Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, and Kris Letang in their last game and they still scored 7 goals against the Maple Leafs and got the win. The Lightning are still without Nikita Kucherov and they have been really bad to start the season starting 2-3-1 but most notably allowing 26 goals in just 6 games. The Lightning played last night and lost against the Sabres so they were traveling last night, while the Penguins are 2-0-1 at home. I don’t see how the Lightning can be this big road favorites right now against a team that has yet to lose in regulation. Take the Penguins at home. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Flames v. Rangers -125 | 5-1 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers enter on a four-game winning streak and those all came away. Netminder Igor Shesterkin has been terrific in the early going with a 3-0-1 record, 1.47 GAA and 9.53 SV. Center Ryan Strome might return for this one, too, after missing the past four in COVID protocols. It's the front end of a B2B for the Flames so that may affect which goaltender they use. They are 1-10 in their past 11 playing on one day of rest. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Maple Leafs v. Hurricanes -115 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units What the heck is wrong with the Maple Leafs? They have dropped three in a row and were embarrassed on Saturday in Pittsburgh. Carolina, meanwhile, is 4-0 but has played just once at home -- where it was dominant last year (until the playoffs). This game will be personal for Canes netminder Frederik Andersen as he spent the previous five seasons with Toronto but the Leafs didn't try to re-sign him this offseason. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Stars v. Blue Jackets +117 | 1-4 | Win | 117 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Stars just won their home opener but now have to head right back on the road for their fifth road game in 6 games while the Blue Jackets are 3-1-0 at home so far this season. Neither of these teams scores many goals so I am going to go with the home dog, because I think this game is much closer to a toss up. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Capitals -157 v. Senators | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These were the two teams that played matinee games on Saturday and both had completely different results. The Senators were up 2-0 with 5 minutes left in the third period then allowed a goal where their starting goalie, Matt Murray got hurt. Anton Forsberg then came in and allowed 2 more goals in 3 minutes for the Senators to lose the game 3-2. The Caps went down 3-0 early in their last game before tying it 3-3 in the second and losing it in OT. I think the Caps will be focused more after the loss while the Senators will be reeling from their blown lead. However, this is mainly a bet against Anton Forsberg who looked more than shaky in his 5 minutes of play. |

10-25-21 | Lightning v. Sabres +1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's the front end of a back-to-back for Tampa Bay, which apparently will give backup Brian Elliott his first start of the year. The Lightning are far from two-time Stanley Cup champion form -- they haven't led a game yet in regulation. That's crazy. Of course, the Bolts remain without former Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov. Buffalo appears quite a bit better this season and at worst the Sabres should be able to hang within a goal (puckline is -135 but may go up a bit with Tampa starting Elliott) at home. |

10-24-21 | Predators v. Wild -160 | 5-2 | Loss | -160 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these teams played last night, but the Predators were in Winnipeg while the Wild were at home. Both backup goalies are expected to play too. Kaapo Kahkonen played well last season but Connor Ingram is a Predators prospect and this would be his first NHL game. The Wild are 4-0-0 to start the season while the Predators are 1-4-0 to start the season. I like the Wild to stay undefeated today. |

10-24-21 | Sharks v. Bruins -195 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 1 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pretty high price considering the Sharks are unbeaten -- shockingly -- but the fact it's an early start for a West Coast team plus a fourth straight road game, well, I think the Bruins win in a rout. I generally don't do the -1.5 puckline, however. |

10-23-21 | Maple Leafs v. Penguins +150 | 1-7 | Win | 150 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Maple Leafs just lost to the Sharks at home last night while the Penguins were off. The Penguins are still without some key players, but they have shown early in the season they can win without them. The Maple Leafs are just 3-8 in their last 11 trips to Pittsburgh. Take the Penguins at home at plus money. |

10-23-21 | Red Wings +154 v. Canadiens | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I just don’t see how the Canadiens should be -170 against any team right now as they have scored just 4 goals in 5 games this season. Jake Allen hasn’t looked good, and the Red Wings will want to put together a good road performance after their dud on home ice last game. The Red Wings are averaging over 3 goals per game and their defense has been very sound outside the game against the Lightning, so I like the value on the Red Wings. |

10-23-21 | Rangers v. Senators +121 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Alexander Georgiev is starting for the Rangers, and it is his first start since opening night when the Caps got to him for 5 goals. The Senators have Brady Tkachuk back in the lineup while the Rangers are still without some key players. I think this will be a low scoring game but I like the value on the home dog. |
