100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blue Jackets -105

The Kings (17-22-4, 38 points) are still trying to climb out of the Pacific division basement. Tonight, they’ll host the Blue Jackets (19-15-8, 46 points) in Los Angeles.

Columbus is coming off a home loss against San Jose, but they’ve won two of their last three and seven of their last 10 games. The Blue Jackets earned an overtime win against the Kings when they played in December. In their last 10 contests, Columbus has scored at least three goals on six occasions.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.60 goals per game (27th) while allowing 2.71 goals per game (7th).

Joonas Korpisalo’s play between the pipes has been a big reason for any success Columbus has enjoyed this year. Korpisalo has allowed 2.49 goals per game with a .913 save percentage.

Los Angeles enters tonight’s game as losers of five of their last seven contests. Over that run of poor form, the Kings failed to score more than two goals in every loss and allowed three goals or more in all but one game. Most recently, Los Angeles lost to Nashville at home by a score of 4-1.

On average, the Kings are scoring 2.56 goals per game (28th) while allowing 3.14 goals per game (21st).

On average, the Red Wings are scoring 2.14 goals per game (31st) while allowing 3.81 goals per game (31st).

Detroit has been the worst team in hockey by a significant margin. One of the many reasons for this poor form is the lack of scoring, as only three players have scored 10 goals for the Red Wings.

On average, the Penguins are scoring 3.39 goals per game (7th) while allowing 2.66 goals per game (5th).

Even with the likes of Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel injured, Pittsburgh is the more balanced hockey team. The Penguins will be relying on Evgeni Malkin, who has 39 points, in this contest.

The Blackhawks (18-17-6, 42 points) are in the basement of the Central division. Tonight, they’ll go on the road to take on the Canucks (21-15-4, 46 points) in Vancouver.

Chicago has gotten themselves back towards the pack of their division by winning three games in a row and five out of their last six. Of their five wins on that stretch, the Blackhawks scored five goals in three of them. Most recently, Chicago defeated Calgary by a score of 5-3.

Despite defeating Arizona by a score of 8-5 in their most recent away game, Minnesota is just 8-13-2 on the road this year. The Wild have also been giving up plenty of goals while losing three of their last five. Minnesota has now allowed five goals or more in three of their last five contests.

On average, the Avalanche are scoring 3.53 goals per game (2nd) while allowing 2.78 goals per game (T-9th)

Vancouver has won each of their last two games, but those victories were preceded by a three-game losing streak. On that run of defeats, the Sharks were outscored 13-6 in large part because of a 6-3 loss to Vegas. The last time Vancouver played Edmonton, the Oilers won by a goal.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.16 goals per game (11th) while allowing 3.03 goals per game (15th).

Center Elias Pettersson continues to lead the Canucks with his 17 goals and 22 assists for a team-high 39 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Predators -145

While the Coyotes (21-13-4, 46 points) lead a tight race in the Pacific, the Predators (17-12-6, 40 points) are in danger of falling too far behind in the Central. Tonight, these teams will face off in Nashville.

Although Arizona enters this evening’s contest on the back of a 5-2 win over Detroit, they haven’t strung two wins together since their first two games of December. Before playing the Red Wings, the Coyotes fell to Minnesota by a score of 8-5. This will be Arizona’s second game in as many days.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.76 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.47 goals per game (1st).

Although Darcy Kuemper has been one of the best goaltenders in the league this year, he was a part of that 8-5 thrashing at the hands of Minnesota just days ago.

The Predator are 9-6-4 at home, and they enter tonight’s game as winners of three of their last four. The Preds scored four goals or more in each of those three wins, and defeated the Islanders by a score of 8-3 in the middle of that run. Most recently, Nashville defeated Boston 4-3 in overtime.

On average, the Predators are scoring 3.49 goals per game (4th) while allowing 3.20 goals per game (T-24th).

Nashville is an offensive team, and Roman Josi leads the way with 13 goals and 20 assists for a team-high 33 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Coyotes -205

One of the best teams in the NHL is set to take on one of the worst as the Coyotes (20-13-4, 44 points) go into Detroit to face the Red Wings (9-25-3, 21 points).

Arizona fell in their most recent game despite scoring five goals, but they won five of their previous eight building up to that contest. The Coyotes scored three goals or more in each of those wins, and four goals or more in three of them. Four of those five opponents were held to two goals or fewer.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.70 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.49 goals per game (T-2nd).

Goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been a big reason for Arizona’s success this season. With a .929 save percentage, Kuemper is allowing 2.17 goals per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Hurricanes -160

With a win tonight, the Panthers (17-12-5, 39 points) could jump into second in the Atlantic. To do so, they’ll have to go into Carolina and beat the Hurricanes (22-11-2, 46 points).

Florida has erupted for six and seven goals over their last two games, but that followed a run of three straight losses. On that losing streak, the Panthers failed to score more than two goals in any game. Florida lost each of their last two road games, including a 4-2 defeat to Carolina.

The Oilers (19-14-4, 42 points) have slipped to third in the Pacific, but they have a chance to go level with the two division leaders if they can overpower the Penguins (20-10-4, 44 points) tonight in Edmonton.

Pittsburgh has won three in a row, but one of those victories came in a 1-0 overtime contest and another came via shootout. Prior to this winning streak, the Penguins fell to Montreal by a score of 4-1. The last time Pittsburgh played Edmonton, they fell in overtime.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.09 goals per game (13th) while allowing 3.06 goals per game (T-17th).

The Blackhawks (13-16-6, 32 points) are at the bottom of the Central division. Tonight, they’ll go into Winnipeg to take on the Jets (20-12-2, 42 points).

Before falling to Colorado by three in their most recent contest, Chicago defeated Minnesota by a score of 5-3.

Winnipeg last played on Tuesday when they were destroyed in a 6-3 game against Carolina. That was the Jets’ second loss in their last three games while allowing five goals or more in both defeats. Perhaps the most damning of those losses was the 5-2 contest against lowly Detroit.

On average, the Jets are scoring 3.00 goals per game (T-16th) while allowing 2.82 goals per game (11th).

Center Mark Scheifele leads Winnipeg on the offensive end with 16 goals and 20 assists for a team-high 36 points.

Arizona has feasted on the Blackhawks to win two of their last four games. The Coyotes dropped their most recent contest, which came against New Jersey, but the only allowed two goals. With Darcy Kuemper in net, Arizona has won four of their last five.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.63 goals per game (T-24th) while allowing 2.34 goals per game (3rd).

Arizona has earned their impressive record by being one of the best defensive teams in the NHL. That defensive effort starts with Kuemper, who’s allowing 1.97 goals per game with a .935 save percentage.

San Jose is coming off a 4-2 win over Vancouver, but that single win followed a streak of six straight losses. The Sharks allowed 29 total goals over that six-game stretch. Part of that losing streak was a 7-1 defeat at the hands of Tampa Bay.

On average, the Sharks are scoring 2.69 goals per game (22nd) while allowing 3.46 goals per game (29th).

San Jose is a weak defensive team. Goaltender Martin Jones has won 12 games, but he’s allowing 3.30 goals per game with an .888 save percentage.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Canucks -125

Both the Canadiens (15-12-6, 36 points) and Canucks (15-14-4, 36 points) are caught in the middle of their respective divisions. Tonight, they’ll go head to head in Vancouver.

After winning three straight, Montreal fell to lowly Detroit by a score of 2-1 their last time on the ice. The Canadiens have struggled to score goals lately, which is exemplified by the fact that they’ve failed to score more than two goals in three of their last five contests.

On average, the Canadiens are scoring 3.12 goals per game (T-12th) while allowing 3.21 goals per game (T-25th).

Led by the 14 goals of Brendan Gallagher, Montreal has four players with 10 goals or more. Apart from those four, no Canadiens skater has more than seven goals.

50* Powerhouse Play on Flyers -145

The Flyers (17-11-5, 39 points) have been struck by the injury bug. Tonight, they’ll look for players to step up and perform when they host the Ducks (14-15-4, 32 points) in Philadelphia.

Anaheim has won two of its last five games, and both wins came by way of a shootout. In each of their three losses over that stretch, the Ducks failed to score more than two goals. Most recently, Anaheim followed up a 2-1 loss to Los Angeles with a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Rangers.

On average, the Ducks are scoring 2.58 goals per game (26th) while allowing 2.91 goals per game (13th).

Jakob Silfverberg leads the Ducks with 12 goals on the season, but it’s Ryan Getzlaf who’s earned the most points (25) on the back of his 10 goals and 15 assists.

Philadelphia will be eager to stop a three-game slide in which they dropped every game of a road trip. The Flyers will be back at home, where they’ve won four of their last five games. Two of those home victories came by a score of 6-1.

On average, the Flyers are scoring 2.97 goals per game (17th) while allowing 2.85 goals per game (11th).

Carter Hart has been decent minding the net for Philly. While allowing 2.47 goals per game, Hart has earned a .906 save percentage.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rangers +125

Both the Predators (14-12-5, 33 points) and Rangers (16-12-4, 36 points) are struggling within their respective divisions. Tonight, they’ll face off against one another in New York.

December has been an up-and-down month for Nashville thus far. After an overtime loss to the Lightning, the Predators won a pair of games and then lost a pair of games. Defense has been the issue for Nashville lately, as they’ve allowed four goals in three of their last four games.

On average, the Predators are scoring 3.26 points per game (7th) while allowing 3.19 goals per game (24th).

Although Pekka Rinne has won a team-leading 10 games in net for Nashville, he’s allowed 2.99 goals per game with an .893 save percentage.

New York has alternated wins and losses since their three-game winning streak in late November. They’ve been pretty good very recently, as they won two of three before falling to Anaheim in a shootout. In those two recent wins, the Rangers scored five and then six goals.

On average, the Rangers are scoring 3.22 goals per game (8th) while allowing 3.09 goals per game (T-18th).

The Rangers count on their offense to win games, which is why they’re so happy to have Artemi Panarin. Thus far, Panarin has racked up 19 goals and 23 assists for 42 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Golden Knights -180

The Golden Knights (17-13-5, 39 points) and Canucks (16-13-4, 36 points) sit in fourth and fifth within the Pacific division, respectively. Tonight, they’ll face off in Vegas.

The Canucks have lost two of their past three games while struggling to get the puck in the net. Only a 1-0 overtime win against Carolina separated a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Toronto and a 4-2 defeat at the hands of San Jose. Vancouver has allowed four goals or more in three of their last four contests.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.15 goals per game (11th) while allowing 2.97 goals per game (T-14th).

Centers Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller lead this Vancouver team with 13 goals, each. Brock Boeser is the only other Canuck with more than nine goals.

After an overtime victory in Dallas, Vegas has won two of their last three games. Before taking a 4-2 loss in St. Louis, the Golden Knights scored five in a win over Chicago. Vegas has the advantage of rest with Vancouver playing their second game in as many days.

On average, the Golden Knights are scoring 2.86 goals per game (20th) while allowing 2.86 goals per game (12th).

Marc-Andre Fleury has been very good in net for Vegas this season. To rack up 12 wins, Fleury has allowed 2.54 goals per game and owns a .919 save percentage.

50* Powerhouse Play on Devils +177

The Devils (9-17-5, 23 points) and Coyotes (19-11-4, 42 points) have experienced very different seasons so far this year. Tonight, the Coyotes will host the Devils in Arizona.

50* Powerhouse Play on Panthers +105

The Bruins (20-7-6, 46 points) currently hold a comfortable lead in the Atlantic. Tonight, the Panthers (15-11-5, 35 points) will try to make up some ground when they host Boston in Florida.

Despite owning such an impressive record, Boston is just 8-6-1 on the road. The Bruins have lost each of their last three away games while being unable to score more than two goals in any of them. Overall, Boston has been defeated in five straight contests.

On average, the Bruins are scoring 3.36 goals per game (4th) while allowing 2.42 goals per game (4th).

Despite ranking fourth on both ends of the ice, the Bruins have been well below their averages lately. Over their last five games, Boston has scored more than two goals just once while allowing four goals or more three times.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hurricanes -105

The Hurricanes (19-11-2, 40 points) and Flames (18-12-4, 40 points) are dead even on points. One of these two teams will rise above the other after tonight’s contest in Calgary.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Stars -155

Both the Golden Knights (16-13-5, 37 points) and Stars (18-11-3, 39 points) currently hold the fourth position in their respective divisions. Tonight, they’ll go head to head in Dallas.

Vegas transitioned from November to December with a four-game winning streak, but their form has slipped since then. Over their last four games, the Golden Knights have won only a single contest. Over that stretch, Vegas allowed four goals or more on two occasions.

On average, the Golden Knights are scoring 2.85 goals per game (20th) while allowing 2.88 goals per game (12th).

Marc-Andre Fleury leads Vegas in net with 12 wins while allowing 2.54 goals per game with a .919 save percentage, but he just allowed four goals in a loss to St. Louis.

The Stars have played each of their last three games at home, and they’ve been victorious in every one. Including an overtime win against Winnipeg, Dallas has allowed three total goals over their last three games.

On average, the Stars are scoring 2.59 goals per game (26th) while allowing 2.31 goals per game (1st).

The strength of this Dallas team is clearly the defensive side of the game. A huge deal of credit for the Stars’ top ranking in that regard must go to goaltender Ben Bishop, who’s allowing just 2.03 goals per game with a .934 save percentage.

50* Powerhouse Play on Flames -105

While the Maple Leafs (15-13-4, 34 points) sit fifth in the Atlantic, the Flames (17-12-4, 38 points) are third in the Pacific. These two teams will go head to head in Calgary this evening.

Calgary started the streak with a pair of three-goal performances, followed by a pair of four-goal games, and then five goals a game in each of their last two contests.

On average, the Flames are scoring 2.67 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.97 goals per game (T-14th).

On average, the Oilers are scoring 2.97 goals per game (15th) while allowing 2.97 goals per game (T-14th).

The Penguins (17-10-4, 38 points) and Blue Jackets (12-14-4, 28 points) are both in the bottom half of the Metropolitan division. Tonight, they’ll be facing off in Pittsburgh.

Columbus recently suffered through a tough run of four losses, but they last played on Monday night in Washington D.C.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.53 goals per game (28th) while allowing 3.07 goals per game (19th).

On average, the Flyers are scoring 3.10 goals per game (14th) while allowing 2.67 goals per game (7th).

Detroit has failed to win any of their past 11 games, but they kicked that streak off with an overtime loss to the Kings and a shootout loss to the Sharks. The Red Wings will be a rested team after not having played since Saturday, when they were beaten in a 5-3 game against Pittsburgh.

On average, the Jets are scoring 2.83 goals per game (19th) while allowing 2.70 goals per game (T-7th).

On average, the Canadiens are scoring 3.17 goals per game (T-11th) while allowing 3.37 goals per game (28th).

50* Powerhouse Play on Lightning +100

Although the Lightning (14-11-3, 31 points) only trail the Panthers (15-9-5, 35 points) by four points, they trail their in-state rivals by four spots in the Atlantic division. Tampa Bay will try to make up some ground today.

Sergei Bobrovsky has spent the majority of the time in net for the Panthers. With a save percentage of .893, Bobrovsky has allowed 3.24 goals per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bruins -190

Today’s Atlantic division clash will have the division-leading Bruins (20-4-6, 46 points) heading on the road to take on the Senators (12-17-1, 25 points) in Ottawa.

After a run of eight straight wins, Boston dropped an overtime game to Chicago and a 4-1 contest to Colorado. They’ll now look to recover against one of the worst teams in the Atlantic. While scoring at least three goals in seven of their last 10 games, Boston has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of those games as well.

On average, the Bruins are scoring 3.50 goals per game (5th) while allowing 2.30 goals per game (2nd).

Offensively, Boston is led by the 18 goals, 26 assists, and 44 points of left winger Brad Marchand. Defensively, the Bruins are happy with both goaltenders, who own .929 or better save percentages while allowing 2.22 goals per game or fewer.

Ottawa is a bad team that’s getting worse. A recent 5-2 win over Edmonton was the Senators’ only victory out of their last seven games. Ottawa has given up four goals or more in three of those seven losses, and were hammered in a 7-2 loss to Minnesota.

On average, the Senators are scoring 2.63 goals per game (T-23rd) while allowing 3.13 goals per game (21st).

Although Anders Nilsson leads the team with seven wins, he’s allowing 3.10 goals per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Ducks +150

While the Jets (17-10-2, 36 points) are just one point behind Dallas for third in the Central, the Ducks (12-13-4, 28 points) are ahead of only LA in the Pacific. These two will face off today in Winnipeg.

Before Friday’s 3-2 loss to Washington, Anaheim was able to net four goals in a win over Los Angeles. The Ducks have now scored three goals in three of their last five games. Defensively, Anaheim hasn’t given up more than three goals in three straight.

On average, the Ducks are scoring 2.66 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.97 goals per game (T-14th).

John Gibson has been the better goaltender for the Ducks. While racking up eight wins, Gibson has allowed 2.86 goals per game with a .910 save percentage.

Winnipeg was able to come out victorious the last time they faced the Ducks, but they’ve currently lost two of their last three games. After dropping a 2-1 contest to the Kings, the Ducks failed to defeat the Stars in a game that went to overtime.

On average, the Jets are scoring 2.83 goals per game (19th) while allowing 2.72 goals per game (T-8th).

Nikolaj Ehlers is the top goal scorer on Winnipeg with 13 so far this season. Ehlers has also assisted on 10 goals for 23 points on the year.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Avalanche +135

Both the Avalanche (18-8-2, 38 points) and Bruins (20-3-6, 46 points) are in the upper tier of NHL teams. Tonight, they’ll go head to head in Boston.

Colorado has earned its second-place positioning in the Central by producing an away record of 10-5-1. Three of those road wins have come during the five-game winning streak the Avalanche are currently on. Colorado has scored at least three goals in each of its past five games.

On average, the Avalanche are scoring 3.68 goals per game (1st) while allowing 2.79 goals per game (11th).

Center Nathan MacKinnon has racked up a team-high 44 points on 18 goals and 26 assists, all of which lead this Colorado team.

While Colorado’s winning streak is ongoing, Boston’s winning streak was just ended by Chicago in a 4-3 contest. Before that defeat, the Bruins had won eight in a row. Each of Boston’s last four losses have come in overtime or by shootout.

On average, the Bruins are scoring 3.59 goals per game (4th) while allowing 2.24 goals per game (1st).

Left winger Brandon Marchand is tops on this Boston squad with 44 points by way of 18 goals and 26 assists.

50* Powerhouse Play on Blues -120

The Blues (18-6-6, 42 points) continue to dominate the Central division. Tonight, they’ll try to extend that lead when they host the Maple Leafs (13-13-4, 30 points) in St. Louis.

Toronto is just 6-9-0 on the road, and has lost each of their last two away games. Overall, the Maple Leafs are losers of three of their last four. Toronto allowed six goals in two of those three losses. The Maple Leafs have only scored two goals or fewer in each of their last three games.

On average, the Maple Leafs are scoring 3.13 goals per game (11th) while allowing 3.30 goals per game (26th).

St. Louis also held their opponents to three total goals in their three most recent wins.

On average, the Blues are scoring 3.00 goals per game (T-14th) while allowing 2.50 goals per game (5th).

With 11 goals and 17 assists, left winger David Perron leads St. Louis with 28 points.

50* Powerhouse Play on Sabres +135

Two teams nearly level on points will face off today when the Sabres (13-11-5, 31 points) head into Vancouver for a showdown with the Canucks (14-11-4, 32 points).

The Sabres are pulling it together after a rough stretch of games. Buffalo has now won two of their last four, and could easily be just one game removed from a four-game winning streak if a pair of overtime games had gone their way. The Sabres recently scored seven goals against New Jersey.

On average, the Sabres are scoring 3.00 goals per game (T-14th) while allowing 2.97 goals per game (T-15th).

Linus Ullmark has picked up his game in goal for Buffalo. Thus far, Ullmark is allowing 2.94 goals per game with a .914 save percentage to earn seven wins. Center Jack Eichel leads the team with 18 goals and 21 assists for 39 points.

The Canucks are in danger of slipping into another rough patch after losing three of their last five. In one of those losses, Vancouver allowed eight goals to Pittsburgh. The Canucks have scored two goals or fewer in three of their last six games.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.24 goals per game (8th) while allowing 2.93 goals per game (14th).

Elias Pettersson is the leading man for Vancouver with 12 goals and 20 assists for 32 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rangers +100

Both the Canadiens (12-11-6, 30 points) and Rangers (14-10-3, 31 points) are looking to go on a run and push closer to the top of their respective divisions. Tonight, they’ll face off in New York.

The Canadiens began the season well enough, but have since hit one of the worst stretches of play for any team in the NHL. Over their last 10 games, Montreal has won only a single contest. The Canadiens have allowed three goals in eight of those 10 games, and have allowed five goals or more in four of them.

On average, the Canadiens are scoring 3.21 goals per game (10th) while allowing 3.45 goals per game (28th).

Carey Price has won the most games (11) for Montreal from between the pipes, but he’s allowing 3.13 goals per game and owns a save percentage of just .899.

Just like the Canadiens, the Rangers will be playing their second game in as many nights. Unlike Montreal, New York earned a victory yesterday in a 3-2 game against Columbus. New York has now won five of their last seven games while holding their opposition to two goals or fewer in all but one of those victories.

On average, the Rangers are scoring 3.22 goals per game (9th) while allowing 3.26 goals per game (23rd).

Left winger Artemi Panarin leads the Rangers on offense with 13 goals and 21 assists for 34 points, all of which lead New York.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Wild +177

The Lightning (13-9-3, 29 points) have ramped up their scoring, but remain near the bottom in the Atlantic. Tonight, they’ll host the Wild (13-11-4, 30 points) in Tampa Bay.

Minnesota may be struggling in the Central division, but they’re taking a huge leap in the right direction with four straight wins. While scoring at least three goals in each of those four games, the Wild have held every opponent to two goals.

On average, the Wild are scoring 2.93 goals per game (T-17th) while allowing 3.14 goals per game (21st).

Zach Parise and Jason Zucker lead this Minnesota team on offense with 12 and 10 goals, respectively. Eric Staal has added another eight goals on his way to a tie for the team lead with 19 points.

Prior to Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Nashville, Tampa Bay lost three in a row to Carolina, Washington, and St. Louis. The Lightning could manage no more than three goals in any of those games while allowing four goals in two of the three.

On average, the Lightning are scoring 3.60 goals per game (4th) while allowing 3.24 goals per game (23rd).

Andrei Vasilevskiy has won 10 games from between the pipes, but he’s allowing 2.90 goals per game and owns a .908 save percentage.

50* Powerhouse Play on Flyers -145

Both the Coyotes (16-9-4, 36 points) and Flyers (16-7-5, 37 points) are in the top three of their respective divisions. Tonight, they’ll face off against one another in Philadelphia.

Arizona has proven themselves to be a strong squad, but they’ve lost two of their last three and three of their last five games. While giving up four goals in two of those three losses, the Coyotes have managed only two goals or fewer in two of their last three contests.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.69 goals per game (23rd) while allowing 2.31 goals per game (2nd).

Center Nick Schmaltz leads this Arizona team with 20 points, but he’s scored only five goals on the season. Right winger Conor Garland is tops on the squad with 10 goals scored.

Philadelphia has surged up the Metropolitan rankings with five straight wins. The Flyers won two of those contests by a score of 6-1. Meanwhile, Philly has allowed two goals or fewer in four of those five victories.

On average, the Flyers are scoring 3.14 goals per game (11th) while allowing 2.64 goals per game (6th).

Center Travis Konecny leads the Flyers with 27 points on 10 goals and 17 assists. Goaltender Carter Hart is allowing 2.35 goals per game with a .910 save percentage.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Penguins -120

While the defending champion Blues (18-5-6, 42 points) look eager to defend their title, the Penguins (14-9-4, 32 points) have been solid at home. We’ll see who can win a matchup between the two in Pittsburgh this evening.

St. Louis has won each of its last four games, but they dropped back-to-back contests against Nashville just before kicking off that streak. Uncharacteristically, the Blues struggled to score with only two goals in each of those losses. St. Louis will now play its fifth away game out of their last six.

On average, the Blues are scoring 3.10 goals per game (14th) while allowing 2.48 goals per game (5th).

Goaltender Jordan Bennington leads St. Louis with 13 wins while allowing 2.26 goals per game, and he’s tied with Jake Allen with a save percentage of .926.

The Penguins most recently dropped two 5-2 games against Columbus and St. Louis, but previously picked up a trio of wins while scoring 15 combined goals. Pittsburgh Also held their opponents to two goals or fewer in two of those three wins. At home, Pittsburgh is 10-3-2.

On average, the Penguins are scoring 3.41 goals per game (6th) while allowing 2.89 goals per game (13th).

Led by the 27 points of center Jake Guentzel, Pittsburgh has five players with at least 17 points on the season, including Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Senators +150

The visiting Senators (11-15-1, 23 points) will have an extra day of rest compared to tonight’s opponent as they go into Vancouver to take on the Canucks (13-11-4, 30 points).

Ottawa has dropped four in a row, but they’ve held their opponent to two goals or fewer in two of those contests. Prior to this four-game losing streak, the Senators went on a three-game winning streak in which they scored four goals on two occasions.

On average, the Senators are scoring 2.56 goals per game (27th) while allowing 3.07 goals per game (20th).

Leading the Ottawa offense is center Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who’s scored 14 goals and added six assists for a team-high 20 points.

Vancouver has earned only five wins out of their 11 home games thus far. Most recently, the Canucks have dropped three of their last four contests. Vancouver has scored two goals or fewer twice in three of their last five, and recently gave up eight goals in a game against Pittsburgh.

On average, the Canucks are scoring 3.18 goals per game (12th) while allowing 2.96 goals per game (T-15th).

While Elias Pettersson doesn’t lead the team in either goals (11) or assists (20), he’s tops on the team with 31 points.

50* Powerhouse Play on Coyotes +115

The Coyotes (15-9-4, 34 points) will test their impressive away record against the Blue Jackets (11-11-4, 26 points) this evening in Columbus.

Arizona sits behind only Edmonton in the Pacific division largely because they’ve earned a record of 8-3-3 on the road. The Coyotes have only won two of their last three, but two of those defeats came by shootout. Arizona will be well-rested considering they haven’t taken the ice yet in December.

On average, the Coyotes are scoring 2.64 goals per game (T-24th) while allowing 2.32 goals per game (2nd).

Arizona wins games by suffocating the opposing offense, and goaltender Darcy Kuemper is a big part of that strategy. On the season, Kuemper is allowing 1.97 goals per game with a .935 save percentage.

Columbus enters tonight’s matchup as losers of three of their last five contests. During that stretch of games, the Blue Jackets have failed to score more than two goals on three occasions. Most recently, Columbus lost a 2-0 game to the Islanders.

On average, the Blue Jackets are scoring 2.54 goals per game (28th) while allowing 3.04 goals per game (T-18th).

Only two Blue Jackets have scored more than six goals all season, and not even a single player on this Columbus squad has reached 20 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Ducks -135

The two teams sitting in the basement of the Pacific will face off this evening as the Ducks (11-12-4, 26 points) host the Kings (11-14-2, 24 points) in Anaheim.

Of their 12 games played away from home, the Kings have won only two. Los Angeles has won two of their last three, but they’ve lost three of their last five. In those five contests, the Kings have allowed three goals or more in three games.

On average, the Kings are scoring 2.59 goals per game (26th) while allowing 3.30 goals per game (27th).

Anze Kopitar leads Los Angeles with just 10 goals on the season. After Kopitar, only one other player on the Kings has more than six goals on the year. Neither L.A. goaltender has a better save percentage than .898.

The Ducks haven’t been a great hockey team, but they’ve earned a record of 7-5-2 at home. Before dropping games to Winnipeg and Arizona, Anaheim defeated New York in a 3-0 contest. The Ducks have scored at least three goals in two of their last three games.

On average, the Ducks are scoring 2.63 goals per game (25th) while allowing 3.00 goals per game (tied for 16th).

Offensively, Ryan Getzlaf leads the way with nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points. Defensively, goaltender John Gibson is allowing 2.86 goals per game with a .910 save percentage.

50* Powerhouse Play on Flames -200

While the Senators (11-14-1, 23 points) had to play yesterday, the Flames (12-12-4, 28 points) haven’t taken the ice since the 27th. Tonight, these two teams face off in Calgary.

Ottawa hasn’t looked particularly good all season long, and they’ve hit another rough patch with three losses in a row. In that run of losses, the Senators have scored three total goals. In yesterday’s game in Minnesota, Ottawa allowed seven goals to the Wild.

On average, the Senators are scoring 2.62 goals per game (tied for 28th) while allowing 3.08 goals per game (tied for 19th).

Finding goal scorers has been an issue for a mediocre Ottawa offense. Led by the 13 goals of Jean-Gabriel Pageau, only three Senators have more than six goals on the season.

The Flames are coming off a four-game road trip throughout which they went 2-2. In addition to being on a couple days of rest, Calgary will be back at home where they’re 6-3-2 so far this year. Calgary has won two of its last three games, all of which were 3-2 contests.

On average, the Flames are scoring 2.39 goals per game (30th) while allowing 3.04 goals per game (tied for 17th).

Goaltender David Rittich has been a point of strength for this Calgary team. He’s won 11 games while allowing 2.76 goals per game with a .913 save percentage.
