12-05-21 | Kings v. Oilers -185 | 5-1 | Loss | -185 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Mikko Koskinen is expected to be back in net for the Oilers as they head home. They are 9-1-0 at home on the season. The Kings have lost 7 of their last 8 games and they are 3-3-2 on the road this season. The Kings have lost 8 of their last 9 trips to Edmonton as well. These teams are trending in complete opposite directions. Jonathan Quick allowed 4 goals and 6 goals in his last 2 games. This line should be at least -200 and probably higher, so we will take the value on the home team before it goes up. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Oilers -125 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This moneyline surprises me as the Oilers are 16-5-0 and the Kraken 8-13-0 and Edmonton is only -125. I'll happily take it. This will be the Oilers' first-ever game in Seattle. The Kraken visited Edmonton on Nov. 1 and lost 5-2 as NHL scoring leader Leon Draisaitl had two goals and two assists. Two of Seattle's best forwards, Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz, may not play due to injury. The Kraken have lost seven straight vs. Western Conference foes. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Golden Knights v. Coyotes +197 | 7-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Karel Vejmelka should be in the net for the Coyotes, and he is coming off a 40 save shutout in Winnipeg. The Coyotes have actually won 4 of their last 10 games now while the Golden Knights have lost 2 in a row and 4 of 10. The Knights are getting healthier, but they still struggle on the road at 5-5-0. Robin Lehner is 9-9-0 with a 3.08 GAA this season and he has lost 3 of his last 4 starts. The Puck line at -135 is tempting but I will go for it on the ML with the home dog. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Devils v. Jets -189 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second of a back-to-back for New Jersey, which should mean backup goaltender Jonathan Bernier. He has lost four straight starts. Always the chance New Jersey loses someone to injury on Thursday as well. Winnipeg is fully healthy/COVID free for perhaps the first time all season. The Jets have lost six of seven but five of those games were away. They are 7-3-1 at home. New Jersey has just one victory in the past eight in the series. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Lightning v. Blues -126 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This ML has spiked a bit because the Lightning are starting backup goaltender Brian Elliott, and he's a massive downgrade from Andrei Vasilevskiy. Elliott hasn't played since Nov. 21 and has 3.30 GAA and .878 save percentage in three contests. The Blues are 7-2 in their past nine as home favorites. They aren't playing great overall but have won three straight at home. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Penguins +130 v. Flames | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins 5 game win streak was snapped last game, but that was with Casey Desmith starting. Jarry hasn’t allowed more than one goal in any of his last 5 starts, and the Penguins won all five of those games. The Flames have won four of their last 5 games and they are just 3-2-3 at home this season while the Penguins are 5-2-2 on the road. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Canucks v. Canadiens -120 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canucks lost a heartbreaker to the Bruins yesterday allowing 2 PPG in the third period to lose the game to the Bruins. Thatcher Demko should be back in net for the Canucks, and he has struggled with a 3.07 GAA. The Canucks have lost 9 of their last 10 games overall and they are 3-8-1 on the road. The Canadiens are better at home at 4-6-1 and Jake Allen was very good in their last game. Take the Habs at home. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Sharks v. Blackhawks -116 | 2-0 | Loss | -116 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marc Andre Fleury should be back in net tonight after getting the Blackhawks last game off. But even if he isn't, Kevin Lankanen played very well last game after allowing 2 goals early. He has also been much better at home with a 2.23 GAA. The Hawks were able to put together a comeback from down 2-0 and get the win in OT too, so I think they should carry some of that momentum over. James Reimer has been good for the Sharks this season but the Sharks have lost 5 of their last 8 games and 3 of their last 4 on the road. The Hawks have won 4 straight games at home and 6 of their last 8 games overall. Take the value in the Hawks at home. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Jets v. Flames -165 | 4-2 | Loss | -165 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets were embarrassed last night losing 7-1 to the Wild and they have now lost 4 straight games. The Jets are also 2-5-3 on the road. The Flames have won four straight games and they are leading their division. The Jets haven’t been scoring lately and they will have a very tough time against one of the stingiest defenses in the league. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Blue Jackets v. Blues -174 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these teams played yesterday so both backup goalies should be starting again. However, I think Ville Husso has been better than Joonas Korpisalo this season. The Blue Jackets are much worse on the road and I think the Blues will come out strong after a tough loss to the Blackhawks last night. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Panthers -193 | 4-1 | Loss | -193 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Of the 9 NHL games on the slate today, 8 teams are favored by -175 or more. There isn’t a ton of value out there today, so I figure going with 3 home favorites and hope at worst case we go 2-1 and break even. The Panthers are a completely different team at home where they are undefeated, and the Kraken have just 1 road win all season. Both backups in Spencer Knight and Chris Dreidger should be starting so I like the home team. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Canucks v. Blue Jackets -138 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canucks have now lost 7 of their last 8 games, and they really haven’t been close, only coming within a goal in 2 of those losses. The Blue Jackets have won 4 out of 5 and they are 7-3-0 at home this season. The Canucks are seriously struggling, and the Blue Jackets have a big goaltender advantage, I like the Jackets at home. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Panthers v. Capitals -108 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers are still without Aleksander Barkov and the Caps are still without many key players as well. However, these two teams played in Florida earlier this season and the Panthers were able to squeeze one out in OT. The Panthers have won four straight games but those were all at home. They have lost 4 straight games on the road. Home stadiums should make a bigger difference around the holidays, I like the Caps at home. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Jets v. Wild -125 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets are just 2-4-3 on the road this season while the Wild are 5-2-0 at home. The Jets have lost 4 straight games and they’ve scored 4 goals total in those 4 games. Both goalies have been good, but the Wild have been scoring while the Jets have not. I like the Wild at home. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hurricanes v. Flyers +124 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flyers are down a handful of injured guys, but the Hurricanes have to be fatigued in the conclusion of a six-game road trip. They look tired following back-to-back losses and are starting backup goaltender Antti Raanta. Philly's Carter Hart has been much better at home and already beat the Canes once this season -- and that was on the road. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Blues v. Blackhawks +127 | 2-3 | Win | 127 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hawks have won 4 of their last 5 home games and 5 of their last 7 games overall. The Blues have lost 6 of their last 8 games overall and 3 of their last 4 games on the road. Marc Andrew Fleury has been much better lately while Jordan Binnington has still looked iffy. I like the value in the home dog. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Senators v. Sharks -160 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators have one victory in their past nine games and remain thinned out due to COVID/injury, including leading scorer Drake Batherson. San Jose starts James Reimer in net and we backed him to upset the Hurricanes on Monday and he did. Reimer has a 1.70 GAA at home this season. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Jets v. Blue Jackets +120 | 0-3 | Win | 120 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blue Jackets are a completely different team at home going 6-3-0 on the season but they have also won three of their last 4 games overall. They have been scoring a lot lately and they are averaging 3.7 goals per game at home. The Jets have now lost three straight games after winning three straight games, but they have only scored 4 goals in the last 3 games. The Blue Jackets goalies haven’t been as dominant of late, but the Blue Jackets scoring has been making up for it. The Jets are just 2-3-3 on the road this season, I like the value in the home dog. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Canucks v. Penguins -200 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins seem to have figured it out, winning their last three games and only allowing 1 total goal while doing it. They face the Canucks who are 3-5-1 on the road this season and have lost 6 of their last 7 games. Tristan Jarry has been very good for the Penguins while Thatcher Demko struggles on the road, allowing 7 goals in each of his last 2 road games. Take the Penguins at home. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Flyers v. Panthers -170 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flyers were shutout last night in Tampa Bay and now they have to go to Florida, where the Panthers are 10-0 at home this season. The Flyers have lost three straight games and 5 of their last 7 games and Martin Jones should be in net instead of Carter Hart tonight. The Panthers are dominant at home and should have no trouble with a weary Flyers team despite missing Aleksander Barkov. I like the Panthers to stay undefeated at home. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Canadiens v. Capitals -185 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jake Allen returns tonight for the Canadiens but the Habs still have just one road win all season. The Caps have a bad taste in their mouth after losing the last game of the road trip to the Kraken and they are rested. The Caps will still be without many key players including TJ Oshie and Conor Sheary but they have continued to win. Ilya Samsonov has lost just one game this season and that was in OT. Usually I won’t play this many heavy favorites, especially on the same night, but home favorites have been winning at an incredible rate this season and home games around the holidays seem to mean more. Take the Caps at home. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Oilers +100 v. Stars | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both these teams are expected to start backup goalies tonight but both backup goalies have been playing pretty well. The Stars have won just 4 of their last 10 games and they face the Oilers who have won 7 of 10. The Oilers were the best team in the league on the road last season and they’ve started 5-3-0 on the road this season. They are without Darnell Nurse because of injury and Mikko Koskinen like I mentioned, but other than that they are pretty healthy. Take the Oilers on the road in a pick ‘em. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Hurricanes v. Sharks +137 | 1-2 | Win | 137 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No question the Hurricanes are the better, team but this is the fourth game of a six-game trip and fatigue could be setting in. Also, backup Antti Raanta is in net. He's 2-0 with a 2.27 GAA but still a downgrade from Frederik Andersen. We'll take the shot on the Sharks at home (like to do the puckline but the -190 price is ridiculous) behind James Reimer and his 1.98 GAA. At home, it's 1.94. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Golden Knights +135 v. Blues | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These two teams are trending in complete opposite directions with the Knights winning 7 of their last 10 games and 2 in a row, while the Blues have lost 7 of their last 10 games and 6 of their last 8. The Knights are still without many key players but Robin Lehner should be back in net after getting last game off. Jordan Binnington has lost his last 4 starts and he allowed at least 3 goals in all 4 games. The Knights are just 4-3-0 on the road but the Blues are just 4-3-1 at home. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Blue Jackets v. Sabres +106 | 7-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dustin Tokarski should be back in net for the Sabres tonight after getting last night off, and I think a game the next day is honestly the best thing for the Sabres after giving up a game-winning goal with 1 second left last night. The Sabres are 5-3-1 at home while the Blue Jackets are just 3-3-0 on the road. The Sabres played last night but the Blue Jackets flew in from Vegas last night, so make of that what you will. Backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo is starting for the Blue Jackets and he is 2-3-0 with a 3.55 GAA. Take the Sabres at home. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Capitals -115 v. Seattle Kraken | 2-5 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Caps have won 6 of their last 7 games and they are 6-1-2 on the road this season. The Kraken have lost 6 straight and 8 of their last 9 games and they are just 3-6-0 at home. The Caps have won 4 of their last 5 road games while the Kraken have lost their last 4 home games in a row. TJ Oshie and Nic Dowd returned for the Caps last night and Vitek Vanecek will be starting tonight. The Caps know Philip Grubauer well from his time with the Caps and the Caps have already won back-to-back games on the road earlier this season. Take the Caps. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Maple Leafs v. Islanders +105 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Strange that the Islanders are home dogs considering Toronto isn't starting Vezina candidate Jack Campbell in net but young Joseph Woll. The 23-year-old allowed four goals to Buffalo in his NHL debut on Nov. 13 and the Islanders are better than the Sabres. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Capitals -115 v. Sharks | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sharks have lost 5 of their last 7 games while the Caps have won 5 of their last 6 games. The Caps were the best team in the league last season on the road and they are 5-1-2 on the road this season. Adin Hill is expected to start for the Sharks and he is 4-4-0 with a 3.11 GAA this season. The Caps have won five of the last 7 games between these teams in San Jose and 5 of the last 6 meetings overall. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Blue Jackets v. Golden Knights -138 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Knights are still missing many key players, but they have still won 7 of their last 10 games and 5 of their last 6 home games. Elvis Merzlikins has looked much worse lately, allowing at least three goals in each of his last three games. Robin Lehner has been much better since the start of the season, and I think the Blue Jackets will have a tough time against the Golden Knights defense. I like the Knights at home. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Red Wings v. Coyotes +132 | 1-2 | Win | 132 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Coyotes aren’t as bad of a team as their record shows, and they have played each of their last two games close. The Red Wings have been struggling losing four of the last five games and losing three straight road games allowing five goals in every game. Scott Wedgewood has been very good for the Coyotes after picking him up on waivers. The Coyotes have just one home win this season, but the Red Wings are 3-7-0 on the road. Take the home dog. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Flames v. Islanders -108 | 5-2 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders finally get to play in their brand-new arena after 13 straight road games to begin the season. New York has a lot of talent and is well-coached, but its has scored just six goals in its past five games. The Islanders lost 6-1 to the Panthers on Tuesday, and Barry Trotz's teams usually play inspired hockey after allowing six or more goals. This will be the Flames' sixth road game in nine days and New York will be playing with three days of rest. Take the hungry host. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Bruins v. Flyers +126 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Linus Ullmark is starting for the Bruins and he is just 3-3-0 with a 3.01 GAA on the season. Martin Jones is 3-1-0 this season with a 2.27 GAA and .931 save percentage, so he isn’t much of a downgrade from Hart. The Bruins won 6 of 8 games in the shortened season last year but they lost the only matchup between these teams this season. The Flyers are a little banged up without Ryan Ellis or Kevin Hayes, but the Bruins are 2-4-0 on the road. I like the value in the home dog. |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Predators -117 v. Canadiens | 3-6 | Loss | -117 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators were shutout in their last game, but they were hitting posts along with getting shutdown by Jack Campbell, who has been very good this season. However, tonight they won’t have as tough of a test against the porous Canadiens. The Predators have won 7 of their last 10 games and Juuse Saros has been very good for them. The Canadiens have lost 7 of their last 8 games and Jake Allen is expected to be out again. Take the Preds on the road. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Blue Jackets v. Coyotes +138 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blue Jackets only score 2.2 goals per game on the road this season, 1.5 goals fewer than their home average. The Coyotes are coming off a big road win in St. Louis so I think some of that momentum should carry over. The Blue Jackets are significantly worse on the road and they have struggled lately. Elvis Merzlikins has looked human in net while the Coyotes goalies are both capable of putting together a good one. I like the value in the Coyotes at home. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Stars v. Wild -128 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wild are 4-2 at home this season and they should bounce back after playing a dud in their first home game back from a road trip. Cam Talbot will be in net and he is 8-4-0 with a 2.91 GAA on the season. The Stars are just 3-4-1 on the road this season and they have been rotating goalies after Braden Holtby was injured. The Wild have won three straight games in this series and 6 of the last 8 home games. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Penguins v. Canadiens +136 | 6-0 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins have now lost three straight games and they are 5-6-4 on the season with just 1 win in 5 tries on the road. They face the Canadiens, who have also been struggling, but they are much better at home going 3-5-1. Cayden Primeau looked good in his first game of the season against the Rangers despite picking up the loss. I like the value in the Canadiens at home. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Capitals v. Kings -105 | 2-0 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second of a back-to-back for the Caps, who are without five of their top forwards due to injury -- Lars Eller was the latest to join them as out before Tuesday's OT loss in Anaheim. The Kings get back one of their top scorers Wednesday in Viktor Arvidsson. He had missed the past seven games in COVID protocols and has two goals, five points and 32 shots in eight appearances. Kings netminder Jonathan Quick has a 1.98 GAA this year. LA is on a four-game home win streak. |
|||||||
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 | 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 | 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. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | 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 | 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. |
|||||||
11-08-21 | 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. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | 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 | 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. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | 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. |
|||||||
11-03-21 | 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 +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 | 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. |
|||||||
11-01-21 | 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 | 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. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | 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 | 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. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | 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 | 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. |
