01-29-22 | Kings v. Flyers +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Still searching for its first win of 2022, Philadelphia has been outscored 51-26 during an 0-10-3 rut that followed a 3-2 victory at Seattle on Dec. 29. It's the Flyers second winless stretch of at least 10 games, and also has them mired in an 0-4-2 slide at home. It's uncertain what level of immediate improvement can help the Flyers turn this dismal season around. Perhaps not all hope is lost considering six of Philadelphia's past nine games have been decided by one goal. |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Wild v. Rangers +133 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units Good value here with the home dog as the Rangers are in the 2nd game of a back to back and I am aware of the Adam Fox injury. However, New York fell short at Columbus last night despite doubling up the Blue Jackets in shots on goal 36 to 18. Georgiev was in goal and he has been struggling but Shesterkin has been fantastic and I expect that to continue tonight on Friday as the Rangers current #1 netminder should be back patrolling the crease tonight. The Rangers, prior to last night's loss, had won 9 of 12 games. The Wild have been hot but still have lost 6 of last 12 games including 4 of last 6 played away from home. We have solid home dog value here and I won't pass up on this one. |
|||||||
01-28-22 | Red Wings +1.5 v. Penguins | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings are chasing a playoff spot, while the Penguins are on a 17-2-1 run to tie for the top point total in the Metropolitan Division, but Pittsburgh got reminded Thursday that no opponent is a pushover. It seems likely that Pittsburgh will go with backup goalie Casey DeSmith against the Red Wings, which could be cause for some concern. The Penguins have been leaning heavily on No. 1 goaltender Tristan Jarry, who stopped 27 of 29 shots Thursday after picking up wins in his previous five appearances. He is having one of the top seasons in the league, while DeSmith has struggled with a 3-3-1 record, a 3.58 goals-against average and an .886 save percentage in just nine appearances. Consider that the Penguins are 2-5 in their last 7 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and 1-5 in their last 6 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. |

01-27-22 | Devils v. Lightning OVER 6.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This may look like a high posted total at first glance, but the Lightning are on an 'over' tear right now while the Devils aren't stopping anyone - quite simply a mess at the back-end. Here, we'll note that the 'over' is 7-1 with the Devils coming off consecutive games scoring two goals or less this season, as is the case here, with that spot producing an average total of 7.3 goals. The 'over' is 6-1 in the Bolts last seven games with the winning side scoring at least five goals in five of those seven contests. Tampa Bay should have little trouble taking advantage of a Devils squad that has allowed 4.0 goals per game on the road this season and has been lit up for 16 goals over its last four games alone. The first matchup between these two teams this season totalled eight goals in a 5-3 Devils victory here in Tampa. |

While the Blue Jackets are 5-12 in their last 17 vs. Metropolitan, 18-44 in their last 62 games as an underdog, and 6-15 in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
01-27-22 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Penguins | 2-1 | Win | 117 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Seattle Kraken's nickname does not mean sacrificial lamb in some obscure language, and the Pittsburgh Penguins probably shouldn't assume it does. Seattle is coming off a 4-2 loss Tuesday against the Nashville Predators, a result that capped a 3-3-0 homestand. That's progress, considering it accounts for nearly a quarter of the team's 13 wins. The feather in the team's cap during the homestand was Sunday's 5-3 win over the red-hot Florida Panthers. The Kraken have shown signs of building chemistry. Consider that Seattle is 9-8 their last 17 vs the PL on the road while Pittsburgh is only 9-11 vs the PL at home. |

01-25-22 | Flyers +1.5 v. Islanders | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A win by the Islanders would break their tie with the Flyers for last place in the Metropolitan Division. That would be a step in the right direction for a New York team that made the NHL semifinals each of the previous two seasons but enters Tuesday 16 points out of a playoff spot. On the plus side for the Islanders: They have played a league-low 34 games due to multiple COVID-19 pauses. The game against the Flyers marks the start of a 13-game stretch in which the Islanders are scheduled to play just four teams currently in playoff position. The clash Tuesday marks the third time the Islanders and Flyers have met in the past eight days. New York won a home-and-home set Jan. 17-18, beating Philadelphia 4-1 in Elmont before earning a 4-3 shootout victory at the Wells Fargo Center. |

Rating: 2 Units The Rangers have undoubtedly had this rematch circled since dropping a 3-1 decision in a rather lifeless performance in Los Angeles back on January 10th. Now they're at home, where they just disposed of the Coyotes by a 7-3 score on Saturday and check in 12-5, averaging 3.4 goals per game and outscoring opponents by an average margin of 1.0 goal here at MSG. Note that the Rangers have averaged 3.8 goals while outscoring opponents by 1.1 goals on average the last nine times they've come off consecutive contests in which they allowed three goals or more, as is the case here |

Rating: 2 Units As the Edmonton Oilers prepare to play host to the Calgary Flames on Saturday, they're hoping rock bottom already has been reached. OThanks to a 6-0 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday, the Oilers have dropped their last seven outings -- five in regulation time -- and are on a 2-11-2 skid after starting the season with a 16-5-0 mark. Consider that the Flames are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a road favorite. While the Oilers are 18-40 in their last 58 games as a home underdog. In addition the favorite is 16-6 in the last 22 meetings. |

01-21-22 | Blues -184 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues went 4-1-0 on their just-completed homestand, including a 2-1 victory against the Kraken on Jan. 13. St. Louis trailed 1-0 after two periods in that game, but Pavel Buchnevich netted the winner on a power play at 5:30 of the third. Buchnevich has since been in the virus protocol but is expected to return for today's game. Consider that the Kraken are 8-20 in their last 28 overall. |
|||||||
01-21-22 | Wild v. Blackhawks +120 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota has been idle since Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to Colorado, which ended a three-game winning streak. The Wild fell behind 2-0 after one period but remained persistent behind goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen, who made 35 saves. Kevin Fiala got Minnesota on the board with a goal 33 seconds into the second period. Chicago also is eager to erase the sting of a shootout loss in its most recent game. Unable to maintain a one-goal lead entering the third period, the Blackhawks fell 3-2 at Seattle, ending a four-game winning streak. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 35 shots for Chicago and was brilliant as the Kraken controlled the pace during overtime. Fleury also turned aside a Jared McCann penalty shot in the third period. Consider that the Wild are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Chicago. |

01-21-22 | Coyotes v. Islanders -240 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders hope to continue their long climb back into playoff contention Friday night when they host the Arizona Coyotes in the opener of a seven-game homestand in Elmont, N.Y. The Islanders' month-long losing streak overshadowed their unveiling of a long-awaited new arena and put them into a major hole in the standings. They are playing much better of late, however, and get a chance to go over the NHL version of .500 for the first time since early November. Upon ending their 11-game losing streak on Dec. 7 with a 5-3 win at Ottawa, the Islanders are 8-3-1 in their past 12 games -- and are 5-1-0 in their last six. Consider that the favorite is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings. |
|||||||
01-21-22 | Stars v. Red Wings -105 | 5-4 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units The Detroit Red Wings will be the fresher team when they host the Dallas Stars today. Detroit hasn't played since Monday afternoon, when it rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in overtime. That completed a four-game, season-series sweep, including a shutout two nights earlier in Detroit. The Stars will be playing the second game of a back-to-back. Consider that the Stars are 8-20 in their last 28 road games. While the home team is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings. |
|||||||
01-20-22 | Sharks +108 v. Seattle Kraken | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kraken won their last game, but don’t look for it to become habit-forming; they are 1 and 9 in their last 10 games. The Kraken have been keeping their goals-against totals down lately, but are missing a couple of key pieces on offense, and do not score very often, with just 12 goals-for in their last 6 games. Other than an outburst of 6 goals in their last game, the Sharks don’t score either, with just 16 goal-for in their previous 6 games. None the less, they have kept games close with the good teams and are winning against the lesser lights. Their defense is middle of the back, an improvement over Seattle’s 30th ranking. I like the Sharks’ chances here and the odds are favorable. Take the Sharks to win. |

However, they're playing terrific hockey right now and have gone 10-5 on home ice this season, giving up just 2.3 goals per game. This will be the third meeting between these two teams this season with both previous contests being settled by just one goal. You would have to go back five meetings to find the last time Toronto defeated New York by more than a goal, that coming back in December of 2019. |

01-18-22 | Canucks v. Predators -125 | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Canucks are 1-4 in their last 5 games as an underdog, 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog, and 2-9 in their last 11 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. While the Predators are 20-7 in their last 27 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, 21-8 in their last 29 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game, and 41-16 in their last 57 vs. a team with a losing record. |

While the Capitals are 19-7 in their last 26 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, 15-7 in their last 22 Tuesday games, and 39-19 in their last 58 games as a favorite. In addition, the Jets are 6-20 in the last 26 meetings in Washington. |

01-17-22 | Predators v. Blues OVER 6 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Over is 4-1 in Predators last 5 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-1 in Predators last 5 vs. Western Conference, 4-1 in Predators last 5 vs. a team with a winning record, and 9-3 in Predators last 12 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. While the Over is 18-7-1 in Blues last 26 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |

01-17-22 | Blackhawks v. Seattle Kraken OVER 5.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -108 | 1 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago won the first game between the clubs by a score of 4-2. I think they'll at least reach that number of goals here on Monday. Chicago is off a 3-0 win over Anaheim. The Hawks have scored three or more goals now in six of their last nine games. Defense has been the issue for Chicago this year, ranked 22nd in goals against this season. Seattle has lost nine in a row. The Kraken have struggled on both ends of the ice this year. They rank 24th in goals per game, but 31st in goals against. I believe Chicago can continue its recent offensive form and I look for Seattle to find the back of the net a couple of times tonight as well. |
|||||||
01-16-22 | Canucks v. Capitals -185 | 4-2 | Loss | -185 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Only one game today and both teams are playing the back end of a back to back. I was originally gonna lay off this game but the Caps are getting Dimitry Orlov and Carl Hagelin out of COVID protocol and will have their full defense. Canucks have now lost 3 straight and they are missing a couple players today including their backup goalie. So either Thatcher Demko makes a second start in two days or the Canucks go with a third stringer they just called up. I like the Caps at home. |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Stars v. Panthers -198 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas won a wild home game vs. Florida about a week ago, but the Stars have just four road wins and are missing a couple of their top-six forwards. Florida is a Terminator at home with just three losses and also nearly at full strength from COVID/injury. We're taking this early because I expect it to be north of -200 by the morning. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Canadiens v. Blackhawks -197 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As of this writing, the Blackhawks are the only home team Thursday priced under -210 or so -- let's just take it now before it rises/comes off the board ahead of Montreal playing tonight in Boston with a very depleted roster. It should be third-string Sam Montembeault in net for the Habs, and he's an ugly 1-6-0 with a 3.98 GAA. Hawks netminder Marc-Andre Fleury shut out Montreal a few weeks ago for his 500th career win. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Jets v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -193 | 29 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Jets are 2-5 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record and 2-6 in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. While the Red Wings are 8-3 in their last 11 home games. In addition the home team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Devils v. Islanders -188 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Going to make a few NHL plays on lookahead lines because there are so many big favorites on Thursday and I think these numbers will only rise. New Jersey's top two goaltenders are out so the Devils will start Jon Gillies. There's a reason the 27-year-old journeyman has made only 14 career appearances in the NHL since 2016. New Jersey has a handful of other guys out, too, while the Islanders are very healthy other than Coach Barry Trotz in protocols. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Canucks v. Lightning -245 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Canucks are 5-2 in their last 7 road games, 6-13 in their last 19 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game, and 2-7 in their last 9 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. While the Lightning are 42-17 in their last 59 home games, 66-29 in their last 95 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game , and 50-23 in their last 73 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. In addition, the Canucks are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -190 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Stars have won 4 of their last 5 games and they are now 13-3-1 at home this season. The Kraken have now lost 6 straight games, and 9 of their last 10. They are also just 4-9-2 on the road this season. Braden Holtby is still on the COVID list for the Stars so Jake Oettinger will get the start. He is 8-2-0 with a 2.22 GAA this season. Stars are pretty much healthy other than Holtby while the Kraken are missing two of their top scorers in Brandon Tanev and Jaden Schwartz. I don’t mind laying the juice here because the Stars have been so dominant at home, but a good way to lose the juice would be to play the Stars in regulation at -140. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Red Wings v. Sharks -128 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose is 9-7-0-1 at home, while Detroit is 4-11-1-1 on the road. The Red Wings average only 2.72 GPG, while allowing 3.36, while the Sharks average 2.81, while conceding 3.08. Not great for either side, but San Jose does come in off back-to-back victories after a 6-2 defeat at Detroit last week. The Wings have lost both games to open up their road trip. They return home for a game against the Jets on Thursday, so the possibility of "looking ahead" could be an issue as well. I think this is a very reasonable price to pay for the revenge-minded home side tonight. |

01-11-22 | Avalanche v. Predators OVER 6 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the over is 16-5 in Avalanche last 21 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation, 15-5-1 in Avalanche last 21 road games, 34-15-3 in Avalanche last 52 games following a win, and 36-17-4 in Avalanche last 57 overall. While the over is 6-1 in Predators last 7 home games and 5-1 in Predators last 6 overall. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Avalanche v. Predators +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Colorado is off a much tighter than expected 4-3 win at home over Seattle just last night and I believe it'll be fatigued here in the 2nd game of the B2B. Nashville on the other hand has been off for two nights after a 4-2 win at Arizona in its most recent action. In fact, the Preds enter playing their best hockey of the season after four straight victories. Nashville scored the 5-2 win over Colorado on December 16th and I believe it has a good chance to do the same again here at home tonight. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Blackhawks v. Blue Jackets +102 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bjorkstrand, who leads the Blue Jackets with 25 points, had three goals and two assists in last season's series versus the Blackhawks. Columbus collected points in five of the eight meetings (2-3-3). Gustav Nyquist has six points (three goals, three assists) in his last six games for the Blue Jackets, while Eric Robinson has eight (three goals, five assists) in his last 11. Consider that the Blackhawks are 8-17 in their last 25 vs. Metropolitan and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Over is 10-1 in Kraken last 11 games playing on 1 days rest, 4-1 in Kraken last 5 vs. Central, 11-3 in Kraken last 14 vs. Western Conference, and 17-7 in Kraken last 24 overall. While the 19-6-3 in Avalanche last 28 games as a favorite, 19-7 in Avalanche last 26 games playing on 1 days res and 35-17-4 in Avalanche last 56 overall. |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Bruins v. Capitals -115 | 7-3 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington apparently will get back two top forwards off injured reserve tonight in Nicklas Backstrom and TJ Oshie. Young Zach Fucale is in net and he has been spectacular in three appearances and two starts with a 0.42 GAA and a .980 save percentage. The Bruins are 3-8 in their last 11 games as underdogs and 5-12 in their past 17 in DC. Boston is certainly good enough to win this game, but I can't turn down the Caps at this great price at home. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Red Wings v. Ducks -130 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Off a 4-0 loss at LA last night, I believe Detroit will struggle with fatigue/energy levels this evening. Anaheim is 18-12-4-3 this year, but it's now lost 5 of its last 6 after last night's 4-1 loss here to the Rangers. The difference for me comes on the offensive end though, as Anaheim averages 2.97 GPG, while Detroit averages 2.71. Give me the Ducks at home in this favorable rebound spot. Consider Anaheim! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Stars v. Blues -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Stars played yesterday in Dallas so they should be a bit weary playing a back to back and their third game in three nights despite their long break. Jordan Binnington should be back in net for the Blues after getting the last game off, while Braden Holtby should start for the Stars. Holtby struggled in his first start back but the Stars are 4-9-1 on the road while the Blues are 13-3-2 at home. Blues will be without a couple players still, but they swept the Stars in a 2 game home and home series in December, I expect them to continue their strong play at home and against the Stars. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Capitals v. Wild +101 | 2-3 | Win | 101 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As the Wild look to keep rolling, Washington hopes to regroup. The Capitals will try to recover after giving up five unanswered goals in a 5-1 loss on Friday night in St. Louis. Washington has dropped two straight following a 4-3 overtime loss against the New Jersey Devils last Sunday. That snapped a two-game winning streak for the Capitals, who posted a 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Dec. 29 and a 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 31. Consider that the Wild are 15-5 in their last 20 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game and 30-10 in their last 40 home games. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Sharks v. Flyers +110 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sharks have also been depleted with captain Logan Couture on the COVID list. Erik Karlsson, Jacob Middleton and goaltender James Reimer were all out with injuries as well. Consider that the Sharks are 8-17 in their last 25 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. While the Flyers are 11-4 in their last 15 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -105 | 4-3 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers head into Saturday night's game with the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C., knowing that the road to an Atlantic Division title begins with improving their performance on the road. Florida is an NHL-best 18-3-0 on home ice this season, which is an amazing four more wins than any other team in the league. But the Panthers, who trail first-place Tampa Bay by two points, have won just four times (4-4-5) in 13 games away from Sunrise, Fla., which ties them for the second-fewest road wins in the league. Consider that the Hurricanes are 36-16 in their last 52 home games. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Maple Leafs v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the over is 4-0 in Maple Leafs last 4 vs. Central, 5-1-1 in Maple Leafs last 7 vs. Western Conference and 4-1-1 in Maple Leafs last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. While the over is 21-7-3 in Avalanche last 31 overall and 18-6-3 in Avalanche last 27 games as a favorite. In addition the over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings and 10-0 in the last 10 meetings in Colorado. |

01-07-22 | Capitals -101 v. Blues | 1-5 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This line has already risen from +115 to -105 with the announcement that Vladimir Tarasenko and a couple others were added to the COVID list for the Blues. I wouldn't be surprised to see more tomorrow either. On the other side, the Caps got Nicklas Backstrom, TJ Oshie, and Dimitry Orlov back at practice and all of them are expected to play Friday. Knowing the Caps, something will happen to keep them from starting all their starters (but Anthony Mantha) for one of the first times this season, but at the moment this line will only rise as long as they avoid any COVID issues. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Flames v. Hurricanes -175 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jacob Markstrom should be starting for the Flames after they played in Tampa Bay last night but he has struggled since the break. The Flames have also struggled losing their last two games while the Canes are undefeated since the break. These are actually the two teams with the fewest goals allowed per game but I think being rested and at home gives the Canes a huge advantage. I wanted to take this at -155 but its already risen so I am willing to take the risk on someone possibly being out for COVID. As a statistician, theres a 50-50 chance it will favor us too, right? |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Rangers +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 1-5 | Loss | -180 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Coming off an impressive back-to-back on home ice, the Rangers hope to keep the good times rolling Thursday when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights in the opener of a five-game road trip. New York is on a three-game winning streak after getting two wins over the Tampa Bay Lightning and a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The streak started with Mika Zibanejad getting the only goal of the shootout of a 4-3 win at Tampa Bay on Friday and continued with Zibanejad getting a hat trick in an impressive 4-0 win at home over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Zibanejad did not register a point Monday against the Oilers but heads into the road trip with six goals in his past six games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Penguins v. Flyers OVER 6 | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the over is 5-0 in Flyers last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game, 4-0 in Flyers last 4 games a home underdog, and 7-0 in Flyers last 7 home games. While the over is 8-3-1 in Penguins last 12 vs. Metropolitan, 5-2 in Penguins last 7 games playing on 0 days rest, and 9-4 in Penguins last 13 games as a road favorite. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Penguins v. Flyers +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -128 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I completely understand why the Penguins are such heavy favorites as they are on a nine-game winning streak and the Flyers are still quite short-handed due to COVID. However, this is a rivalry game and the Pens had to expend a lot of energy Wednesday night in rallying to beat St. Louis. Philly netminder Carter Hart has allowed three goals or fewer in five straight starts. If he only gives up three here, I absolutely believe the Flyers cover on the puckline at -130. Hart is usually quite a bit better at home. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Flyers v. Ducks -133 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flyers are 13-14-3-3, including 7-7-3-1 on the road. The Ducks are 17-11-4-3, and home ice advantage has played a big part in that record, as they're 10-4-3-1 at home. The Ducks are also 5-1 their last six as a home favorite and 9-2 in their last 11 against a club with a losing record. The biggest difference comes on the defensive end though where the Flyers allow 3.22 GPG, while the Ducks allow just 2.71. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Predators +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nashville, which is 8-1-1 since Dec. 4 and is beginning a three-game western road trip at Las Vegas, also was disappointed with its overall performance in its last game despite blowing out the visiting Chicago Blackhawks 6-1 on Saturday. Rookie forward Tanner Jeannot scored two goals and defenseman Mattias Ekholm had three assists in the win, but the defensive-minded Predators also needed a big game from goalie Juuse Saros who finished with 37 saves. Consider that underdog is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings while the road team is also 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Avalanche v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Colorado is certainly better than Chicago, but the Avalanche are basically a .500 team on the road and Darcy Kuemper has been a bit worse away with a 3.15 GAA. The Hawks are usually very competitive when Marc-Andre Fleury is in net, and he's back from protocols tonight. Chicago has won four of his past six starts and we only need a one-goal loss here with a nice puckline price of -125 at home. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets OVER 6 | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both expected goalies were rusty after the break; in fact, they were unexpectedly poor. Columbus gave up 7 goals, and while that number was especially high, high goals against has been an ugly trend for the Blue Jackets. The Lightning came out flat, and were shut out by the Rangers, so look for a lot more snap and crackle on Tuesday. Both teams have decent goals-for figures; Columbus's defense has not been impressive. The Total is only average for this game at the moment. I like the OVER here. A motivated Lightning team will take it to the Jackets and ride this game over. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 7-2 | Loss | -119 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Blue Jackets co-leading scorer Oliver Bjorkstrand will play for the first time since Dec. 16. If Columbus had No. 1 netminder Elvis Merzlikins in net, I'd probably take the Jackets for the outright upset. Don't trust backup Joonas Korpisalo that much, but I do like this price of -130 at +1.5 on the puckline as the Bolts have lost three in a row. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Oilers v. Rangers +1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers will aim to extend their winning streak to three games on Monday night when they host Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. After Mika Zibanejad scored the lone goal of the shootout in New York's 4-3 victory vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday, he followed it with his eighth career hat trick two days later. Zibanejad scored two power-play goals in the first period before tallying late in the second during a 4-0 romp over the Lightning on Sunday. He has four multi-point performances in his past five games, while Chris Kreider -- who set up all three of Zibanejad's goals on Sunday -- has nine points (two goals, seven assists) during that same stretch. Consider that the Rangers are 15-6 in their last 21 overall. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Jets +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets play their first game in two weeks on Sunday afternoon when they open a three-game western road trip with the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas. The Jets, who enter the contest in fifth place in the Central Division, haven't played since a 4-2 victory over St. Louis on Dec. 19 because of COVID-19 related cancellations. That's enabled interim head coach Dave Lowry, who took over when Paul Maurice surprisingly resigned before a 5-2 loss at the Washington Capitals on Dec. 17, to hold a mini training camp with his squad. Consider that the Jets are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Devils +1.5 v. Capitals | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Jersey Devils ended 2021 by winning a game in which they surrendered at least five goals for the first time in almost three years. The Devils' reward to open 2022: one of the league's highest-scoring teams, led by an iconic goal-scorer fresh off adding to his Hall of Fame resume. The Devils will look to extend their winning streak to three games Sunday when they visit the Washington Capitals. Both teams were off Saturday after earning eventful wins on New Year's Eve, when the host Devils squandered four one-goal leads in a matinee before beating the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 in overtime, while Alex Ovechkin's latest milestone goal proved to be the game-winner as the visiting Capitals outlasted the Detroit Red Wings 3-1. Jack Hughes scored with 2:05 left to cap a chaotic win for the Devils, who hadn't won a game in which they gave up five goals since an 8-5 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 14, 2019. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Sharks +1.5 v. Penguins | 5-8 | Loss | -160 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins, who host San Jose on Sunday, will be trying to emulate the Sharks' results coming out of a long layoff. San Jose has played two games, both wins, after a break because of postponements and the NHL's holiday shutdown, while Pittsburgh will be playing its first game since Dec. 19. The Penguins might need to jog their memory to recall what they were doing before games came to a halt, but it's a good memory. They reeled off seven straight wins before the break despite missing several players to injury. Now they have been dealing with their first COVID-19 outbreak since November -- eight players have gone into protocol in the past week, including No. 1 goalie Tristan Jarry -- but four of them have already cleared, and could be available Sunday in light of the league's switch to five-day, rather than 10-day, self-quarantines in some cases. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Bruins v. Red Wings +1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -192 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Bruins are 2-5 in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest, 1-4 in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference, and 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win. While the Red Wings are 7-2 in their last 9 home games. In addition, the Bruins are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Detroit. |

01-02-22 | Lightning v. Rangers +1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers spent the first three months of the season building up a strong record with limited exposure against some of the NHL's elite teams. On New Year's Eve, they passed their first test against the Tampa Bay Lightning and seek another win against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. New York has racked up 44 points while playing only a smattering of games against the East's top three teams of Washington, Tampa Bay and Florida Panthers, posting a 2-2-0 mark. The Rangers' only game against a top-three team in the West was a 3-2 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 17. Just 3-4-1 in their past eight games since a seven-game winning streak Nov. 21-Dec. 7, the Rangers bounced back from Wednesday's 4-3 loss at Florida by outlasting Tampa Bay for a 4-3 win on Friday when Barclay Goodrow scored twice against his former team and Mika Zibanejad scored the only goal in the shootout. |

01-01-22 | Blues +1.5 v. Wild | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams have had their share of fun this season heading into the marquee matchup. St. Louis has 41 points in 32 games and has outscored opponents 110-87. Meanwhile, Minnesota has 40 points in 30 games and has outscored opponents 112-92. This will be the second outdoor game for each team. The Wild cruised to a 6-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2016 NHL Stadium Series at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota's campus. The Blues played outside in the 2017 NHL Winter Classic at Busch Stadium, where they posted a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. Consider that the Blues are 6-1 in the last 7 meetings. |

01-01-22 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Predators | 1-6 | Loss | -144 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Regardless of the player between the pipes, the Blackhawks are hoping to turn their fortunes. They managed just one win in their last four outings (although their last two were overtime losses) before having four games postponed. Hurting their cause has been the penalty kill, which has surrendered 13 goals on 33 opportunities, a dismal 61.6 percent kill rate, in the last 11 games. The Blackhawks have allowed eight power-play goals against in the last 19 short-handed situations -- three of them in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars in their most recent outing on Dec. 18. King said among the problems has been surrendering the defensive zone too easily by not pressuring farther up the ice. "We really just wanted to focus on simplifying this PK, breaking it down for them again," King said. "And we'll just keep on working on it." The Predators return home after blowing a 3-2 third-period lead Thursday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The previous night, they fell to the Washington Capitals, 5-3 in their return to action after an 11-day hiatus. |

01-01-22 | Oilers +1.5 v. Islanders | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers will be looking to snap out of the rut that sent them from first place in the Pacific Division at the start of December into fourth place in the division and clinging to one of the Western Conference's wild-card spots. Edmonton went 3-7-1 in December, a span in which it took five losses by at least two goals. The Oilers appeared as if they might pull out a wild win Friday, when they overcame four one-goal deficits to take the lead shortly before the midway point of the third period on Kailer Yamamoto's second tally of the game. However, Yegor Sharangovich tied the game with 31.5 seconds left in regulation for the Devils, who won on Jack Hughes' goal 2:55 into overtime. Consider that the Oilers are 22-8 in their last 30 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. |

01-01-22 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 7-4 | Loss | -152 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Carolina Hurricanes are about to start another calendar year. They can only hope the new one goes as well as 2021. The Hurricanes had the best regular-season winning percentage in the NHL over the past year (.724), and they carry considerable momentum into Saturday afternoon's game against the host Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus had five games postponed before returning to action Thursday night, winning 4-3 in a shootout against the Nashville Predators. The Blue Jackets are attempting to rediscover some rhythm and were satisfied with Thursday's shootout victory. Consider that the Blue Jackets are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. |

12-31-21 | Capitals v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -180 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings have been off since Dec. 18 due to COVID-19 issues. They were supposed to play the New York Islanders on Wednesday but the lack of available players for both sides led to Detroit's fourth consecutive postponement. In their last game, the Red Wings downed the New Jersey Devils at home 5-2 as Dylan Larkin recorded his first career hat trick. Tyler Bertuzzi had the other two Detroit goals. But there's bound to be some rust as the Wings return to the regular schedule. Consider that the Red Wings are 7-1 in their last 8 home games. |

12-31-21 | Ducks +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 1-3 | Loss | -145 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First place in the Pacific Division to end the calendar year will be on the line on when the surprising Anaheim Ducks face the Vegas Golden Knights in a New Year's Eve matinee in Las Vegas on Friday. Vegas, which has won six of its last seven games and nine of its last 11, has rebounded from a 1-4-0 start to its injury-plagued season and enters the contest with a one-point lead over the Ducks, who had the second-fewest points in the entire NHL in last year's pandemic-shortened 56-game regular-season. Anaheim has scored points in 10 of its last 11 games (6-1-4) including one in a 2-1 overtime loss to visiting Vancouver on Wednesday night despite having star rookie forward Trevor Zegras (eight goals, 25 points) enter COVID-19 protocol on Tuesday where he joined Sam Steel and Max Comtois. Left wing Adam Henrique (lower body) missed his eighth straight game and forward Max Jones (torn pectoral muscle) missed his 30th while top defenseman Cam Fowler left the contest in the first period after losing an edge and crashing hard with his right shoulder into the boards. Consider that the road team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. |

12-31-21 | Oilers v. Devils +1.5 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No one in the NHL has been as singularly dominant in 2021 as Connor McDavid, who is on the verge of completing the most impressive calendar year by a player this century. On Friday afternoon, the New Jersey Devils would be content to get another glimpse at what could be in store in 2022 for Jack Hughes. Two of the NHL's most exciting young stars are slated to face off in a New Year's Eve matinee Friday, when Hughes and the Devils are scheduled to host McDavid and the Oilers in Newark, N.J. Both teams were off Thursday after resuming their seasons with road games Wednesday, when the Oilers fell to the St. Louis Blues, 4-2, and the Devils edged the Buffalo Sabres, 4-3. Consider that the Oilers are 2-7 in their last 9 overall. |

12-30-21 | Flames v. Seattle Kraken +1.5 | 6-4 | Loss | -183 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames are scheduled to play Thursday night against the Kraken in Seattle, 19 days since their last game. They had seven contests postponed because of COVID-19 concerns since a 4-2 loss to the visiting Boston Bruins on Dec. 11. After sweeping two games in Southern California at the start of the month, the Flames went winless in their next four (0-3-1) before their season was paused as 20 players tested positive. Consider that the Flames are 3-11 in their last 14 vs. Western Conference. |

12-30-21 | Sabres +1.5 v. Islanders | 1-4 | Loss | -142 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units If the Sabres' performance Wednesday is any indication, the Islanders could be in for an inconsistent return. Buffalo, which had six players -- defenseman Jacob Bryson, center Dylan Cozens, left winger Zemgus Girgensons, right winger Vinnie Hinostroza, center Mark Jankowski and left winger Jeff Skinner -- as well as head coach Don Granato in COVID-19 protocols Wednesday night, had just three shots on goal in the first while falling behind 2-0. The Sabres tied the game on a pair of goals by Tage Thompson in the first four minutes of the second period but couldn't collect the tie-breaker and gave up a pair of goals by the Devils in a span of 2:22 early in the third. New Jersey ended up outshooting Buffalo 42-22. Consider that the Islanders are 4-12 in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference. |

12-30-21 | Lightning +1.5 v. Panthers | 3-9 | Loss | -205 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that Florida is 1-4 in their last 5 overall and 0-4 in their last 4 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. While Tampa Bay is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record, 7-1 in their last 8 games following a win, and 5-1 in their last 6 road games. |

Rating: 2 Units Winger Patrik Laine, out since Nov. 3 with an oblique strain, returned to practice earlier in the week, but Columbus coach Brad Larsen refused to say if Laine would play on Thursday night. The Blue Jackets are 6-3-0 in the nine games that Laine, who had 44 goals in the 2017-18 season, has played. Consider that the Home team is 38-18 in the last 56 meetings. |

12-29-21 | Flyers +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kraken announced Monday that Mason Appleton had been put into the COVID-19 protocol, joining fellow forward Ryan Donato on the list as well as defensemen Adam Larsson, Jamie Oleksiak, Carson Soucy and Vince Dunn. Hakstol said Oleksiak and Soucy should be able to return Wednesday, but that will still leave the Kraken short-handed. Goaltender Carter Hart and centers Sean Couturier, Derick Brassard and Scott Laughton will be unavailable Wednesday, leaving the Flyers thin down the middle of the ice. Center Morgan Frost and right wing Jimmy Hayes were removed from the protocol list Tuesday and could be available to play. The teams met Oct. 18 in Philadelphia, with the Flyers coming away with a 6-1 victory as Brassard had a goal and two assists. |

12-29-21 | Devils v. Sabres +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils, meantime, are 3-12-3 in their past 18 games since winning three in a row Nov. 6-11. They headed into the pause following a 3-2 home loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Dec. 19 and are on this skid despite Jack Hughes returning from missing over a month. "I was really happy with the team coming out of training camp, start of the season, first 15, 16 games," Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald said. "Our record showed, we were rewarded for our structure, our commitment to structure, our commitment to details, our commitment to each other. We just need to find that team." Hughes has three goals since returning, but the Devils are 1-9-1 in those 11 games, a stretch in which they have lost by more than one goal seven times due to possessing one of the league's least-productive power plays (12.9 percent). |

12-29-21 | Rangers +1.5 v. Panthers | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units At goalie, the Rangers placed backup Alexandar Georgiev on the COVID-19 list. The Rangers are expected to go back to starting goalie Igor Shesterkin, who hasn't played since Dec. 3 due to injury. Shesterkin has been brilliant this season, going 13-3-2 with a 2.05 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage. He is on a five-game win streak, and he beat the Panthers in New York the only time he has faced them this season. Star winger Artemi Panarin tops the Rangers in points (33), and reigning Norris Trophy winner Adam Fox leads New York in assists (26) as he continues to build his case as the NHL's top defenseman. Other Rangers to watch include Chris Kreider, who leads the team in overall goals (18) and power-play goals (11), streaky center Mika Zibanejad and hard-hitting defenseman Jacob Trouba. The Panthers, who have not played since Dec. 16, will enter Wednesday on a three-game losing streak. They haven't won a game since Dec. 10, and they haven't won a home game since Dec. 4. |

12-28-21 | Golden Knights v. Kings +1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -175 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings were beginning to find their footing when the NHL paused the schedule because of COVID-19 outbreaks throughout the league. Los Angeles will try to pick up where it left off when it plays host to the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night in its first game since Dec. 19. The Kings had strung together a 5-2-1 stretch before the league announced an extended holiday break, helping them offset a 1-4-3 mark over the previous eight games. When the Kings returned to practice Sunday, they welcomed back veteran defenseman Drew Doughty, who was in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol when the schedule was paused. Shortly before Vegas returned to practice on Monday, the team announced that coach Pete DeBoer and forward Brett Howden had entered COVID-19 protocol. |
