11-24-17 | Lightning v. Capitals +104 | 1-3 | Win | 104 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Captain Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom were reunited for the first time this season Wednesday and the shuffled lines gave the Washington Capitals a boost that led to five goals along with a win. The two All-Stars combined for a goal and an assist last time out and are likely to skate together again today when the Capitals host the NHL-best Tampa Bay Lightning, who start a four-game trip. The Capitals are 7-0-2 in the last nine meetings. |
|||||||
11-22-17 | Maple Leafs -113 v. Panthers | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 1 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs saw their season-high six-game winning streak come to a halt after stumbling against the most unlikely of foes. The Maple Leafs look to regain their footing on Wednesday when they visit the Florida Panthers, who have dropped eight of their last 11 contests. James van Riemsdyk scored his fifth goal in as many games when he converted on the power play just 33 seconds into the second period on Monday, but Toronto saw its third-ranked offense held in check in a 4-1 setback to league-worst Arizona. The 28-year-old's goal with the man advantage was just the team's fifth in the last 13 games, however. Toronto might be able to gain some steam on the power play against Florida, which surrendered two goals while short-handed in its 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Sunday. Vincent Trocheck scored his team-leading ninth goal and added an assist for the Panthers, who limped to a 1-3-1 mark versus the Maple Leafs last season. |
|||||||
11-22-17 | Senators v. Capitals -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Alex Ovechkin began the season with a flourish, recording an opening-night hat trick in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 5. The three-time Hart Trophy recipient looks to recapture that magic and snap a six-game goal drought today as the Washington Capitals host the Senators. While Ovechkin is mired in a modest goal-scoring slump, fellow forward Nicklas Backstrom has failed to find the back of the net in his last 15 games - although coach Barry Trotz believes the Swede is knocking on the door. Ottawa would accept anything as it has mustered just three goals overall in its last three games (0-2-1) and is 0-for-11 on the power play in that stretch. |
|||||||
11-21-17 | Oilers v. Blues -145 | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Schenn continued his torrid stretch with two goals and an assist in St. Louis' 4-1 win at Edmonton on Thursday before netting the overtime winner two nights later in a 4-3 victory versus Vancouver. While the Blues have won nine of 12 overall and earned points in 11 of their last 13 home encounters with the Oilers, Edmonton fell for the fourth time in five outings with a 6-3 setback to Dallas on Saturday in the opener of a five-game trek. Reigning Hart Trophy recipient Connor McDavid netted a goal and set up two others to give him 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in his past 13 games, although he was held off the score sheet and finished with a minus-2 rating in that encounter with the Blues. |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Panthers v. Ducks -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rickard Rakell, who leads the Ducks in both goals (six) and points (15), has collected a goal and seven assists over his last six contests. Florida is wrapping up a California road trip on which it has ended up on both sides of a shutout. After blanking San Jose on Thursday, the Panthers suffered a 4-0 loss at Los Angeles two days later - their seventh setback in their last 10 overall games (3-5-2). Florida's top line has been in a slump of late, as the trio of Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Evgenii Dadonov failed to record a point in three of the last four contests. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Blues -128 v. Canucks | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Vancouver Canucks hope to avoid a third straight loss at home when they face off against the Western Conference-leading St. Louis Blues today. Vancouver has dropped four of its last five (1-3-1) at Rogers Arena, including a 5-2 setback against expansion Vegas on Thursday. Bo Horvat scored his team-leading eighth goal as the Canucks tallied twice in the second period to forge a tie before allowing three in the third en route to falling to 3-5-2 at home this season. The Blues are wrapping up a three-game road trip on which they are 1-1-0 after rolling to a 4-1 triumph in Edmonton on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Islanders v. Lightning -166 | 5-3 | Loss | -166 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to cruise along at the top of the NHL and look to extend their winning streak to six games tonight when the improving New York Islanders pay a visit. The Lightning are 6-0-1 since losing in regulation for only the second time this season and eased to a 6-1 victory over Dallas on Thursday with a workmanlike performance for 60 minutes. The Lightning are 18-for-18 on the penalty kill over the last seven games and New York is 1-for-11 on the power play in the past four. |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Panthers v. Kings -139 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Captain Anze Kopitar has continued his production during the scoring slump, notching an assist Thursday to extend his point streak to 10 games (three goals, nine assists). Versatile forward Jussi Jokinen, who was acquired from Edmonton in exchange for Mike Cammalleri recently, recorded an assist on Drew Doughty’s power-play goal in his Los Angeles debut for his second point of the season in 15 contests. Los Angeles G Jonathan Quick is 7-2-0 with 1.72 goals-against average and .937 save percentage in nine career games against the Panthers. |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Jets -110 v. Coyotes | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arizona is making a quick stop in the desert as it is in the midst of a stretch that has it playing seven of eight on the road. The club is coming off a 3-2 shootout loss at St. Louis on Thursday in which Brendan Perlini scored twice to double his season total of goals. Winnipeg has split the first two contests of its three-game road trip, defeating Dallas on Monday before falling 5-2 in Vegas four nights later. Adam Lowry and Patrik Laine scored for the Jets, who had their eight-game point streak (5-0-3) snapped. |
|||||||
11-10-17 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets -135 | 3-1 | Loss | -135 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois scored in his NHL debut but then muddled through a 14-game goal drought before wowing his teammates with the lone tally against Nashville after stripping perennial All-Star defenseman P.K Subban of the puck. Atkinson played more than 23 1/2 minutes and had four shots on goal in his return from a four-game absence. Blue Jackets G Sergei Bobrovsky is 9-5-0 with a 2.11 goals-against average versus the Hurricanes./p> |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Canadiens v. Blackhawks -155 | 2-0 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Crawford, who leads the league in shutouts (two), goals-against average (1.75) and save percentage (.945), has allowed fewer than two goals in seven of his 12 appearances this season. Brandon Saad leads the team with six goals despite entering Sunday with an eight-game drought and also tops the club with four game-winning tallies. Patrick Kane leads the Blackhawks in scoring with 14 points despite failing to record a power-play goal in the early season.  The Blackhawks look to complete a sweep of the season series after posting a 3-1 victory at Montreal on Oct. 10. |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Penguins -135 v. Canucks | 2-4 | Loss | -135 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vancouver failed to score at all in its last contest as it dropped a 2-0 decision to New Jersey on Wednesday to fall to 1-1-1 on its five-game homestand. The defeat put an end to a five-game point streak (4-0-1) for the Canucks, who have yet to have a player reach double digits in points. Brock Boeser, a 20-year-old rookie right wing, tops the club with nine - including a team-leading five that have come on the power play. Evgeni Malkin had his three-game goal-scoring streak snapped in Calgary but notched an assist to give him a point in four straight contests. The 31-year-old Russian shares the team lead in tallies (six) and points (15) while topping the club in power-play goals (four) and game-winners (three). Phil Kessel also has registered 15 points. |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Sabres v. Stars -165 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tyler Seguin has recorded five goals and six assists in the last nine games to build his total to 13 points overall - one behind team-leader Jamie Benn, who has just one in the last three games. Goalie Ben Bishop has dominated the Sabres in his career (10-0-1, 1.61 goals-against average, .940 save percentage). Dallas could use more production through the lineup and forward Mattias Janmark, who missed all of last season to injury, has points in his last three games (one goal, two assists). |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Avalanche v. Flyers -163 | 5-4 | Loss | -163 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Michal Neuvirth turned aside all 33 shots he faced versus the Blues as he, like Varlamov, rebounded from an abysmal performance (five goals) in his previous outing. The 29-year-old has yielded two tallies or fewer in four of his five starts this season, with impressive work being supplied by 20-year-old Ivan Provorov as he presides over a relatively green defense. Provorov tied a franchise record with 10 blocked shots on Thursday and logged 27:08 of ice time, marking the fourth straight game that he has eclipsed 27 minutes. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Flyers v. Maple Leafs -144 | 4-2 | Loss | -144 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Auston Matthews increased his point total to six (three goals, three assists) in his past four games with a goal and an assist on Thursday, but the 20-year-old took issue with his team's lackluster start out of the gate. Toronto has been remarkably consistent in allowing shots on goal, as its 34.2 per game average is contributing to Frederik Andersen's less-than-stellar goals-against average (3.54) and save percentage (.893) - albeit with a strong 6-3-0 mark. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Ducks v. Lightning -145 | 4-1 | Loss | -145 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Captain Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov look to continue their historic streaks as the Tampa Bay Lightning go after a fifth straight victory when the injury-plagued Anaheim Ducks pay a visit tonight. Kucherov leads the league with 12 goals while Stamkos boasts a league-best 21 points, and they are the seventh duo for one team in NHL history to start a season with 11-game point streaks - the first since 1992-93. The Lightning own the league’s best record (9-1-1) while earning a point in nine consecutive games and are 8-0-5 in the last 13 meetings with the Ducks, who are licking their wounds after an 8-3 loss at Florida on Thursday night. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Coyotes v. Devils -151 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Arizona Coyotes make their 11th attempt at becoming the last team in the NHL to gain a victory this season when they visit the surging New Jersey Devils tonight. The Coyotes got another tally from prized rookie center Clayton Keller before dropping a 5-2 decision against the New York Rangers on Thursday, allowing at least four goals for the fourth straight time and eighth in 10 games. The Devils, who have missed the playoffs the last five seasons, edged Ottawa 5-4 in a shootout Friday after enjoying a week off for their seventh win in nine games to start the campaign. |
|||||||
10-27-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks -118 | 2-1 | Loss | -118 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blackhawks have lost three of four since posting a 2-1 overtime win over Nashville on Oct. 14, while the Predators have dropped back-to-back contests and mustered just five goals in their last three games. Filip Forsberg scored his team-leading seventh goal in Nashville's 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Tuesday and also tallied in the first encounter with Chicago. Blackhawks G Corey Crawford owns a 16-9-1 record and 2.45 goals-against average in 26 career contests versus the Predators. While the Predators have been flat away from Music City, losing four of their five games (1-3-1). |
|||||||
10-27-17 | Blues +102 v. Hurricanes | 2-1 | Win | 102 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues play away from home for the final time during a road-heavy first month of the season when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. St. Louis had eight of its first 11 games of 2017-18 scheduled away from Scottrade Center, where it made a rare appearance on Wednesday and improved to 3-0-0 with a 5-2 triumph over Calgary. |
|||||||
10-24-17 | Flames v. Predators -137 | 3-2 | Loss | -137 | 23 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While the Calgary Flames have enjoyed most of their success this season on the road, the Nashville Predators have yet to be beaten at home. Both teams look to continue their trends today as Calgary visits Nashville in the opener of its set of back-to-back road games. Nashville has only played three games at home but won them all, outlasting Philadelphia 6-5 on Oct. 10 before posting 4-1 triumphs over Dallas and Colorado. |
|||||||
10-24-17 | Oilers v. Penguins -148 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 22 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Last season, Connor McDavid pried away some of the hardware that typically has been the property of Sidney Crosby, but the NHL's reigning MVP and his team have work to do if they hope to hoist the sport's ultimate trophy. McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have a measuring-stick game on deck when they visit Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight. McDavid won both the Hart Trophy and Art Ross Trophy last season as the NHL's leading scorer - Crosby tied for second - and enters his third career matchup against Pittsburgh's resident superstar with the Oilers having dropped five of their last six. Stunningly, Edmonton ranks last in the Western Conference in scoring with an average of 2.00 goals per game despite the presence of McDavid, who has three goals and eight points in the first seven games. |
|||||||
10-24-17 | Lightning +100 v. Hurricanes | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner Steven Stamkos is showing a new side to his game as a setup man and the Tampa Bay captain hopes to continue an early-season point barrage when the Lightning visit the Carolina Hurricanes today. Stamkos, who has recorded 324 goals in 595 NHL games, boasts league-bests of 15 assists and 18 points in nine games after missing most of 2016-17 with a knee injury. The Lightning have points in seven straight games (6-0-1) with Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov (10 goals overall - tied for the NHL lead with Alex Ovechkin) and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy (.933 save percentage on the season) leading the way |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Blackhawks -144 v. Coyotes | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks have cooled off after a fast start but have a good chance to get back on track when they visit the an opponent they have dominated of late. The Blackhawks have dropped two in a row and four of six entering today's road contest against the skidding Arizona Coyotes, who are the only team in the league that has yet to record a victory. The Blackhawks have won their last seven contests against the Coyotes, including their past four visits to Arizona. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Hurricanes v. Stars -125 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas entered play Friday with the third best penalty-killing percentage (88.9) in the league, including 10-for-10 effort during the winning streak, after owning the NHL’s worst mark last season (73.9). Klingberg’s seven points match Benn and Seguin for the team lead after registering a pair of assists in Thursday’s victory and boasts a plus-3 rating during the win streak. Bishop, a two-time Vezina Trophy finalist who was signed as a free agent in the offseason, has won four of his five decisions and sports a .929 save percentage and 1.93 goals-against average in six contests. The Stars have won five straight meetings with the Hurricanes, outscoring them 8-2 in a pair last season. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Panthers v. Capitals -139 | 4-1 | Loss | -139 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One day after becoming the first player in the league to reach double figures in goals, captain Alex Ovechkin looks to continue his success against Florida when the Washington Capitals host the Panthers today. Ovechkin increased his total to 10 goals when he scored in overtime to beat Detroit 4-3 on Friday and has torched the Panthers for 35 goals and 38 assists in 57 career meetings. Florida goaltender, Reimer is 1-2-0 with an .880 save percentage and 4.11 goals-against average in three appearances (two starts) this season. Â |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Islanders v. Kings -140 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings have yet to lose in regulation this season, and they look to keep the streak going when they continue their four-game homestand today against the New York Islanders. Los Angeles posted a 4-2 victory over Buffalo on Saturday, scoring three third-period goals - including defenseman Drew Doughty's power-play tally with two minutes remaining to snap a tie - to improve to 3-0-1 on the season and 1-0-1 on the homestand. The Kings finally have gotten their power play going as they went 3-for-3 with the man advantage against the Sabres after failing to convert their first 16 opportunities of the season. New York posted a 3-1 victory at San Jose on Saturday to even its mark at 1-1-0 on its four-game road trip but remained one of two teams (Anaheim) without a power-play goal this season after an 0-for-3 performance. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Sabres v. Kings -174 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Buffalo Sabres endured a massive facelift in the offseason when they fired general manager Tim Murray and head coach Dan Bylsma in a bid to turn the team's fortunes around. Four losses in as many games, however, have turned up the frustration level in young star Jack Eichel heading into the Sabres' road contest against the Los Angeles Kings. Los Angeles G Jonathan Quick owns a 5-1-0 mark with three shutouts and a 1.22 goals-against average in his career versus Buffalo. While Sabres G Robin Lehner owns a 1-3-0 career mark versus the Kings |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Predators v. Blackhawks -130 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks will have payback on their minds when they get a visit from the Nashville Predators tonight. The Blackhawks amassed a Western Conference-leading 109 points last season but their postseason hopes were quickly extinguished in the first round with a stunning four-game sweep by the eighth-seeded Predators. Chicago, which suffered its first regulation loss at the hands of Minnesota on Thursday, leads the league with 23 goals -- a stark contrast to the postseason series against Nashville in which it managed three goals and was shut out in both home games. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Panthers v. Penguins -165 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jake Guentzel helped spark Pittsburgh to its second straight Stanley Cup title with 13 goals in 25 playoff games and has carried the scoring touch into this season with five points in five contests. Center Evgeni Malkin has only one fewer point but has been held off the scoresheet for the past two games and vowed to improve. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby torched the Panthers for five goals and an assist in the three meetings last season. |
|||||||
10-12-17 | Wild v. Blackhawks -123 | 5-2 | Loss | -123 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Corey Crawford turned aside 41 of 42 shots against his hometown team on Tuesday to improve to 3-0-0 while keeping his goals-against average at 1.00 and boosting his save percentage to a robust .971. The 32-year-old Crawford won three of four encounters with Minnesota last season and boasts a 10-8-2 career mark versus the Wild. Saad's seven points are just one better than both Patrick Kane and Richard Panik, who torched Minnesota last season for five points (three goals, two assists) and four (two goals, two assists), respectively. |
|||||||
10-09-17 | Jets v. Oilers -152 | 5-2 | Loss | -152 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, looking to put a less-than-stellar showing in Saturday’s loss at Vancouver behind them and return to the form shown in a season-opening victory over Calgary. Everything that went right for the Oilers in that victory over the Flames went wrong in the 3-2 loss to the Canucks, from Connor McDavid being held off the scoresheet to goaltender Cam Talbot being chased after allowing three goals on seven shots. Edmonton swept the three matchups with the Jets a season ago, outscoring Winnipeg 12-5 as Talbot earned all three victories in goal. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Flyers v. Ducks -122 | 3-2 | Loss | -122 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anaheim has torn down Philadelphia with season sweeps in each of the last four campaigns. The Flyers, who are wrapping up their three-game trek of the Golden State on Saturday, failed to solve Jonathan Quick in a 2-0 setback to Los Angeles on Thursday after erupting for five goals in a season-opening win over San Jose. Philadelphia G Brian Elliott, who made 32 saves in the season opener, dropped both decisions after yielding seven goals on 53 shots versus Anaheim in 2016-17. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Blue Jackets v. Blackhawks -141 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks scored 10 goals for the first time in almost 29 years to get the season off to a rousing start and hope to continue that kind of production when they host the stingy Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. The Blackhawks scored just three goals while getting swept by Nashville in the first round last postseason but pounded defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh 10-1 in their 2017-18 opener on Thursday. Corey Crawford was sharp in the opener with 28 saves and is 12-4-2 with a 2.18 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in his career against Columbus. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Stars v. Blues -140 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues are riding high into their 2017-18 home opener versus the Dallas Stars on Saturday in what will be the first of many crucial Central Division battles this season. St. Louis spoiled two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh's banner raising party with a 5-4 victory Wednesday as defenseman Alex Pietrangelo scored in overtime to record his second career two-goal game. Â St. Louis won the final three meetings last season - twice in overtime and all by one goal. |
|||||||
06-05-17 | Penguins v. Predators -135 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Music City has provided quite the festive backdrop throughout the NHL's postseason, with the Nashville Predators giving their enthusiastic fans even more reason to party with an impressive 8-1 home record. Fueled by a resounding victory in the first Stanley Cup Final game played in The Volunteer State, the Predators look to even the series with the Pittsburgh Penguins today when the teams reconvene for Game 4 at Bridgestone Arena. For all of his success, Crosby has failed to score a goal in 12 consecutive Stanley Cup Final appearances and has just one tally in his last 19 Final games. |
|||||||
05-29-17 | Predators v. Penguins UNDER 5.5 | 3-5 | Loss | -137 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Under is 11-2-4 in Predators last 17 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game, 15-5-7 in Predators last 27 overall, and 12-4-7 in Predators last 23 vs. a team with a winning record. While the Under is 8-1 in Penguins last 9 Stanley Cup Finals games, and 8-3-2 in Penguins last 13 home games. |
|||||||
05-25-17 | Senators v. Penguins UNDER 5 | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins didn't beat Craig Anderson until late in the third period, and Anderson has been amazing in both games so far. I expect to see another low scoring defensive battle tonight. The Under is 63-30-5 in Senators last 98 vs. Metropolitan and 6-2-1 in the Penguins last 9 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. |
|||||||
05-21-17 | Senators +1.5 v. Penguins | 0-7 | Loss | -180 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ottawa Senators used a blistering-hot start to put the Pittsburgh Penguins on their heels in Game 3, only to sputter out of the blocks in the following contest and see the visitors even the Eastern Conference final at two victories apiece. Coach Guy Boucher's charges look for a better start out of the gate this afternoon as the series shifts to PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh for Game 5. Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson, who yielded three goals on Friday for the first time since Game 5 of the second-round series versus the New York Rangers, has better statistics in the playoffs on the road (2.02 goals-against average, .927 save percentage) than at home. |
|||||||
05-20-17 | Predators v. Ducks OVER 5 | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ducks have not done a good job defensively in the playoffs, but they’ve been a scoring machine on the offensive end, ranking No. 1 overall. Keep in mind that the total in Nashville games is 11-5 this year when revenging a home loss against an opponent, while the over is 14-10 in Anaheim home games when the total is set at 5 or less. |
|||||||
05-19-17 | Penguins v. Senators +101 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Crosby and Phil Kessel has combined for five points (three goals, two assists) in this series for Pittsburgh, which scored an NHL-best 3.39 goals per contest in the regular season before marginally upping the ante over the first two rounds of the playoffs (3.42). Â Ottawa's 1-3-1 system is largely responsible for flustering Pittsburgh, although defenseman Chris Wideman was quick to point out that it's a group effort as opposed to individual play. The defense-first mentality has been music to the ears of veteran goaltender Craig Anderson, who has turned aside 117 of 122 shots in his last four games and resides one playoff win shy of tying Patrick Lalime (21) for the most in franchise history. |
|||||||
05-18-17 | Ducks v. Predators -139 | 3-2 | Loss | -139 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nashville continues to receive stellar production from its blue-line corps, with Roman Josi delivering the decisive goal and Ellis adding an assist to boost their playoff totals to 10 points each - a franchise record for defensemen. Overall, the unit combined for more shots on goal (21) in Game 3 than the Ducks (20) did as a team, led by nine from Ellis - who failed to notch a shot in Game 2. Forward Filip Forsberg has scored in each game of the series, with Tuesday's tying tally in the third period boosting his playoff total to a team-leading six goals. Nashville is 6-0 in the postseason at Bridgestone and has won 10 consecutive playoff games at home. |
|||||||

Rating: 2 Units Neal scored 23 goals during the regular season, matching the second-lowest total of his career for a non-strike season, but he has come alive in the playoffs with four tallies in the last six games after managing one assist in a first-round sweep of Chicago. Top-line center Ryan Johansen had two assists in the series opener and boasts two goals and 11 points in 11 playoff games. Anaheim is mired in a six-game power-play drought, failing on all 20 chances, including 0-for-4 in the series opener. Nashville G Pekka Rinne has yielded 16 goals during the first 11 games of the playoffs and owns a staggering .950 save percentage. |

Rating: 2 Units While the Senators are making their first trip to the conference finals since 2007 and third in franchise history, the Penguins are bidding to become THE first team since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98 to repeat as champions. Pittsburgh brushed off Columbus in five games before outlasting Presidents' Trophy-winning Washington in seven, with Evgeni Malkin (NHL-leading 18 points) and rookie Jake Guentzel (league-best nine goals) paving the way. |

05-12-17 | Predators -101 v. Ducks | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Having finally put an end to their demonizing streak of Game 7 postseason failures on their home ice, the Anaheim Ducks host the upstart Nashville Predators on Friday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. Nashville won both playoff matchups against the Ducks, including a seven-game series in the 2016 postseason. The eighth-seeded Predators are in the conference finals for the first time in franchise history, pulling off a stunning sweep of Chicago in the first round before dispatching St. Louis in six games. Nashville won Game 7 in Anaheim a year ago, which eliminated the Ducks from the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season in a Game 7 on their home ice and led to the dismissal of coach Bruce Boudreau. |

05-06-17 | Rangers -109 v. Senators | 4-5 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Even though the series is tied, the New York Rangers clearly have seized the momentum in their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup entering this afternoon's Game 5 at the Ottawa Senators. New York is coming off a pair of impressive 4-1 victories at Madison Square Garden to even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. Not only was Ottawa totally dominated in Game 4 but it also dealt with the unsettling sight of superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson, playing with hairline fractures in his heel, exiting the contest after two periods. Lundqvist has 61 career playoff wins and can take over sole possession of 13th place on the all-time list with another victory. |

Rating: 2 Units After making short work of one Alberta representative, the Pacific Division champion Anaheim Ducks would love to take the first step in repeating the feat against the other on Wednesday as they begin their second-round series against the visiting Edmonton Oilers. Anaheim is riding an 18-game point streak (15-0-3) and collected a point in four of five encounters (2-1-2) with Edmonton. |

04-26-17 | Predators v. Blues -113 | 4-3 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues were not as dominant in the opening round as the Predators, but they continued their stellar play since Yeo replaced Ken Hitchcock behind the bench and needed only five games to dispatch the Minnesota Wild, which finished seven points above St. Louis in the Central. Nashville won three of five regular-season meetings against St. Louis, but the teams played only once since December - a 4-1 Blues victory in St. Louis on April 2. |

04-23-17 | Capitals v. Maple Leafs +131 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Maple Leafs are being served well by their youth. Auston Matthews continued his goal-scoring surge on Friday, becoming the fourth rookie in franchise history to tally in three or more consecutive playoff games. Fellow first-year forward William Nylander and Zach Hyman each notched an assist on the second-period goal to extend their respective point streaks to three games, with the former collecting one goal and three assists on his stretch while the latter has scored a goal and set up two others in his run. The Caps have won back-to-back one-goal games after falling behind 2-1 in the series but the team's playoff history is full of failures |

Rating: 2 Units Bryan Rust continues to make his presence felt in the NHL's second season, scoring twice in Game 3 to give him seven goals in his past 11 playoff games and five tallies in his last eight contests overall. Fellow forward Evgeni Malkin recorded his 14th career three-point performance by scoring in his second straight game and adding two assists to increase his point total to six (two goals, four assists) in the series. Not to be outdone, captain Sidney Crosby has set up two goals in back-to-back contests after being held off the scoresheet in the series opener. |

Rating: 2 Units  Coach Alain Vigneault shuffled his lines for the final 20 minutes in Game 3 after New York managed a combined 12 shots over the first two periods, and he tinkered some more at Monday's practice, giving rookie Pavel Buchnevich time on a struggling power-play unit that has failed in all 10 chances.   New York has been outscored 21-4 in its last six postseason games at home. |

04-17-17 | Capitals v. Maple Leafs +130 | 3-4 | Win | 130 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This series has been very competitive. Washington could easily be 2-0. So too though could Toronto. These teams split the opening two games in Washington. So far Toronto’s Frederik Andersen has outplayed his counterpart Braden Holtby. The Leafs have the offensive firepower to match the Capitals and note, Washington is in fact just 1-2 (-1.5 units) in its last three when trailing in a playoff series, while Toronto is 2-1 (+1 unit) in its last three after scoring four goals or more. |

Rating: 2 Units The Sharks made it all the way to the Cup Finals last season (lost to Pittsburgh) and were 26-11-4 at home this year, allowing a modest 2.17 GPG. The Sharks posted eight wins in their final 12 at SAP Center to finish tied with the Chicago Blackhawks for third most home wins in the West. In those last dozen games, San Jose held opponents to two goals or less eight times, winning seven. |

04-14-17 | Sharks v. Oilers OVER 5 | 0-2 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers appeared on their way to victory in their first playoff game since 2006 but squandered the opportunity and lost in overtime. Edmonton will get the chance to even their Western Conference first-round series when it hosts the San Jose Sharks for Game 2 today. The Oilers built a 2-0 lead in the first period as Milan Lucic, one of the team's few players with extensive playoff experience, recorded a goal and an assist. But San Jose battled back to forge a tie before Melker Karlsson scored 3:22 into overtime for the comeback victory. The Sharks welcomed Logan Couture back to the lineup after the center missed the final seven games of the regular season with a facial injury. Another injured forward could return Friday in Joe Thornton, who sat out the last three regular-season contests as well as the series opener due to a knee issue. |

04-14-17 | Rangers v. Canadiens -140 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's not often Lundqvist when is considered the "other" goalie in any series, but his regular-season mark of 4-9-2 with a 3.97 goals-against average at Bell Centre and the presence of Price had many observers tilting the odds in Montreal's favor. The inability to dent Lundqvist revived memories of Montreal's six-game loss to Tampa Bay in the conference semifinals two years ago, when the Canadiens scored five goals in their four losses. Coach Claude Julien said there would be no lineup changes following Wednesday's practice, which focused on players setting up screens and working on deflections and rebounds. |

04-14-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins -145 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Phil Kessel is off to a fast start in the postseason after enjoying quite the playoffs last spring in which he led Pittsburgh in both goals (10) and points (22). The 29-year-old scored a power-play goal and assisted on Bryan Rust's second-period tally to record his sixth multi-point performance in 25 career playoff games with the Penguins. Rust, who missed Thursday's practice due to a maintenance day, has been quite comfortable in the Steel City during the playoffs with four goals in his last five home games. |

04-12-17 | Sharks v. Oilers -145 | 3-2 | Loss | -145 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 20-year-old captain faces a new challenge as Edmonton is participating in the playoffs for the first time since reaching the Stanley Cup Final in 2006. The Oilers finished second in the Pacific Division, four points ahead of the Sharks, thanks to a 12-2-0 run over their final 14 contests. San Jose limped into the postseason after making the first Cup Final appearance in franchise history last year, losing nine of its last 13 games. The Sharks hope to have two of their top four scorers back in the lineup as Logan Couture (52 points) and Joe Thornton (50) both are questionable after missing the final seven and three games with facial and knee injuries, respectively. |

Rating: 2 Units ittsburgh, which owns the league's top offense at 3.4 goals per game, is no stranger to this opportunity as it makes its 11th consecutive playoff appearance while Columbus returns to the NHL's second season for the first time since being dismissed in six games by the Penguins in 2014. Both teams posted a 2-1-1 mark against the other and were in contention for the Presidents' Trophy until late in the season, with the Blue Jackets losing a season-high six in a row. Although still considered a rookie, Penguins G Matt Murray posted a 15-6 mark with a 2.08 goals-against average and .923 save percentage in the playoffs last season. |

Rating: 2 Units The Montreal Canadiens are peaking at the right time with the playoffs just around the corner and look to extend their winning streak to six games when they visit the Buffalo Sabres tonight. The Canadiens allowed six goals during their winning streak after knocking off Florida 4-1 on Monday night with Charlie Lindgren in net to give All-Star Carey Price a rest. The Canadiens registered at least a point in all three meetings this season (2-0-1) and five straight (4-0-1) against Buffalo, which will miss the playoffs for the sixth consecutive campaign. The Sabres are limping to the finish with three straight losses, including a 4-2 setback against red-hot Toronto on Monday night as they gave up three tallies in the first 5:09. |

Rating: 4 Unit NHL Play of the Week Hart Trophy candidate Connor McDavid (NHL-best 65 assists, 94 points) and Leon Draisaitl are riding high with respective 10-game point streaks after the former had a goal and two assists while the latter tallied in overtime against Anaheim. McDavid has erupted for 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) and Draisaitl has 18 (five goals, 13 assists) during that stretch for Edmonton, which has outscored Los Angeles 7-2 en route to winning each of the last three meetings. The Kings officially saw their long-shot postseason plans come to an end Sunday as a lack of offense once again did in the club during a 2-1 setback to Arizona. Los Angeles, which is averaging just 2.4 goals per contest for fifth-worst in the league, has recorded two goals or fewer in 42 of its 78 games this season - including each of the last three encounters with the Oilers. The Oilers sport a 17-5-3 mark versus Pacific representatives while the Kings have dropped 15 of 26 encounters (11-13-2) against division foes. |

Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames lost their last 26 games in Anaheim and try to halt that eye-popping slide while improving their playoff position when they visit the Ducks today. Anaheim defeated Calgary 4-3 on Sunday in the first half of the home-and-home set to take a two-point lead over Edmonton in the Pacific while the Flames (92 points) trail third-place San Jose by three in the division and are battling St. Louis (93) and Nashville (91) for the top Western Conference wild card spot. The eight playoff teams in the West are set so it's all about positioning as Calgary could play the Ducks, Chicago, Edmonton or San Jose in the first round while Anaheim's possible matchups are against the Flames, Blues, Predators, Oilers or Sharks. |

Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues recorded at least one point in nine consecutive games entering today’s home contest against the Winnipeg Jets, and the third-place team in the Central Division wants to continue its late-season run. The Blues are 19-7-2 since Mike Yeo took over as coach and Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Nashville gives St. Louis a two-point lead over the Predators. |

Rating: 2 Units Music City has provided many positive notes for the Nashville Predators, and many sour ones for the New York Islanders. After clinching a third consecutive playoff berth and 10th in the last 13 seasons, the Predators vie for their eighth win in their last nine home outings against the Islanders today when the clubs meet at Bridgestone Arena. Ryan Johansen (team-best 47 assists, 61 points) scored in Nashville's 3-1 triumph over New York on March 27 and extended his point streak to three games in Sunday's 4-1 setback at St. Louis. |

04-04-17 | Blue Jackets v. Penguins -130 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Columbus dropped a 3-2 decision to first-place Washington on Sunday and fell one point in the standings behind the reigning Stanley Cup champion Penguins, who defeated Carolina by the same score shortly thereafter. Pittsburgh's Matt Murray won his second straight start to become the first rookie goaltender in franchise history to reach the 30-win mark in a season, although the 22-year-old was gashed for six goals on 23 shots in the Blue Jackets' 7-1 romp on Dec. 22. Cam Atkinson (team-leading 34 goals, 61 points) scored in that contest and has two goals and an assist this season versus the Penguins, but the 27-year-old has seen his career campaign stalled by registering just one point in his last eight outings. Atkinson isn't alone as Columbus' sixth-ranked offense has mustered just 11 goals during its last seven games (2-3-2). |

Rating: 2 Units The Canadiens, who captured the Atlantic in 2014-15 and the Northeast Division two seasons earlier, are riding a four-game winning streak after edging Tampa Bay 2-1 in overtime on Saturday in the opener of their trek. Phillip Danault scored a goal and set up Alexander Radulov's winner in the extra session to give him four points over his last three contests. Florida returns to the Sunshine State for its final homestand of the season after coming away winless on its four-game road trip. The Panthers, who will miss the playoffs for the 14th time in 16 seasons, scored only two goals in each game on the trek - including Saturday's 5-2 setback in Boston. |

04-01-17 | Ducks v. Oilers -125 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Connor McDavid is the modern-day face of the Edmonton Oilers and the 20-year-old phenom couldn't be happier as the ascending club moved within one point of first place in the Pacific Division. The NHL leader in assists (63) and points (91), McDavid looks to send the red-hot Oilers to their fifth straight victory overall and eighth in a row at Rogers Place today when they host the Anaheim Ducks. McDavid, extended his point streak to nine games (five goals, 11 assists) by scoring his team-best 28th goal and adding an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over San Jose. Edmonton has won eight of its last nine contests |

04-01-17 | Maple Leafs -155 v. Red Wings | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Matthews, who has scored five goals and set up three others during his point streak, recorded his seventh game-winning tally on Thursday as Toronto improved to 6-1-1 in its last eight games with a 3-1 triumph over Nashville. The Maple Leafs' march has them within two points of provincial rival Ottawa for second-place in the Atlantic Division while holding a one-point edge over Boston for the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference. The postseason and the Red Wings have long since been synonymous, but a sputtering 26th-ranked offense and punchless 28th-ranked power play were too much to overcome as their 25-season playoff streak officially came to an end earlier this week. The reeling Red Wings have mustered six goals and failed on all seven opportunities with the man advantage against the Maple Leafs this season. |

Rating: 2 Units Carolina muddled through a seven-week stretch in which it won four of 18 games to drop into last place in the Eastern Conference, but a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers on March 9 ignited the current franchise-record point streak. The Hurricanes are 5-0-1 in their last six after knocking off Metropolitan Division power Columbus 2-1 on Thursday to stay in the chase. Dallas, which earned the top seed in the Western Conference last season, is lurching to the finish line as it makes the fourth stop of a five-game road trip. |

Rating: 2 Units Chicago has a comfortable lead for the top seed in the West come playoff time with 105 points - seven more than Central Division-rival Minnesota and nine better than Pacific-leading Anaheim with five games remaining. The Blackhawks have earned at least one point in nine of their last 10 contests (7-1-2) after rolling to a 5-1 triumph in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Reigning Art Ross Trophy winner Patrick Kane notched a pair of assists in the victory to raise his point total to 84 - seven fewer than Edmonton's Connor McDavid for the league lead. |

Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins already have punched their ticket for the playoffs, but the Metropolitan Division clubs hardly have the look of a heavyweight contender with their play of late. New York has been knocked around for 11 goals in its last two contests and dropped six of eight overall (2-3-3) heading into Friday's game against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins. |

Rating: 2 Units The Flames, who hold the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference but still are in the race for first place in the Pacific, have won two straight overall and three in a row at home - including a triumph over Colorado on Monday in the opener of a four-game stretch at the Saddledome. One of those home victories was a 5-2 win over Los Angeles on March 19 in which Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan each recorded a goal and two assists. The Kings' slim postseason hopes got even slimmer Tuesday as they dropped a 2-1 decision at Edmonton to fall to 0-3-2 over their last five road games. The goal against the Oilers was the first in two contests for Los Angeles, which trails St. Louis by 11 points for the second wild card with seven games remaining. |

Rating: 2 Units The red-hot St. Louis Blues have bolstered their resume for a sixth straight postseason appearance with victories in nine of their last 10 games while the Calgary Flames have dropped consecutive contests on the heels of a scintillating 12-1-0 run. The Blues will look to strengthen their hold on third place in the Central Division and extend their winning streak to five games today when they host the Flames. Jake Allen has been at the forefront of St. Louis' surge, improving to 7-1-0 with two shutouts, a 1.25 goals-against average and .957 save percentage in that stretch following a 27-save performance in Thursday's 4-1 victory versus Vancouver. The 26-year-old has yielded just 10 goals in eight outings this month, but stopped 23 of 27 shots in the Blues' 6-4 victory over the Flames on Oct. 22. |

Rating: 2 Units Rookie William Nylander and the Toronto Maple Leafs have been riding high of late, and their success is showing in the standings. Toronto is hoping Nylander continues his torrid pace as it looks to move closer to second place in the Atlantic Division when it visits the Buffalo Sabres today. The Maple Leafs are five points behind second-place Ottawa in the Atlantic but climbed three ahead of Boston for third by extending their point streak to five games (4-0-1) with Thursday's 4-2 triumph over New Jersey - a contest in which the 20-year-old Nylander set a franchise rookie record by registering a point in his 10th consecutive game as he notched a goal and an assist.

Rating: 2 Units Although the Columbus Blue Jackets' bid for the Presidents' Trophy may have taken a hit following back-to-back losses, coach John Tortorella's charges could get back in the mix among the Metropolitan Division powers on Saturday afternoon if recent history holds true. The Blue Jackets vie for their 10th straight home victory over the Philadelphia Flyers when the clubs play the third contest of their four-game season series at Nationwide Arena. Sergei Bobrovsky, who leads the league with 39 victories, saw his seven-game winning streak end on Thursday despite making a season-high 44 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to Washington. The 2013 Vezina Trophy winner has turned aside 48 of 51 shots to win both outings this season versus Philadelphia, which continues to rue the day it traded Bobrovsky to Columbus for three draft picks in June 2012. |

Rating: Â 2 Units Calgary is as hot as its nickname - especially goaltender Brian Elliott - as the Flames host the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday for the first of three meetings with their Pacific Division rivals in 19 days. Elliott won his last 10 decisions, helping Calgary vault nine points clear of ninth-place Los Angeles in the Western Conference and into a three-way battle with Anaheim and Edmonton for the second and third place in the Pacific. Elliott didn't play because of the flu when the Flames' 10-game winning streak was snapped by Boston 5-2 on Wednesday but returned to make 24 saves in Friday's 3-1 victory over Dallas. |

The Blue Jackets, who are in the middle of a three-way battle for first place in the Metropolitan Division with Pittsburgh and Washington, blanked New Jersey 3-0 on March 5 and 2-0 two days later, and boast points in 10 of their last 12 games (9-2-1) overall.

Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues and Arizona Coyotes will get to know each other rather well in the next 12 days, as the clubs face off on Saturday in the first of three meetings in that span. Facing the cellar-dwelling Coyotes likely is music to the ears of the red-hot Blues, who have won six of seven to reside two points behind Nashville for third place in the Central while moving four points up on Los Angeles for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Vladimir Tarasenko (team-leading 34 goals) continued his offensive surge in Thursday's 4-1 triumph over San Jose, recording his second two-goal performance in four contests and seventh of the season. The 25-year-old Russian has seven points (six points, one assist) in his last six games overall and ravaged Arizona with three goals and two assists as St. Louis completed a three-game series sweep last season. |

With victories in 15 of their last 18 contests, the Blackhawks look to continue their impressive March as they vie for a sweep of their Canadian road trip with today's tilt versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. Richard Panik was a major part of Chicago's sizzling run with five goals highlighting his seven-game point streak before failing to tally again until Thursday's 2-1 victory over Ottawa.

Rating: 2 Units Patrick Kane has ratcheted up his play with 16 goals and 27 points in his last 17 games, leading the Chicago Blackhawks to a 14-3-0 mark in that span and a perch atop the Western Conference. The reigning Hart Trophy winner will look to continue his torrid display without a key linemate today as the Blackhawks visit the Ottawa Senators in the second contest of their three-game Canadian road trip. Kane scored his team-leading 31st goal and added a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Montreal |

03-16-17 | Maple Leafs v. Lightning -119 | 5-0 | Loss | -119 | 3 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning dealt three important veterans before the March 1 trade deadline and instead of looking toward next season, they are surging toward playoff position in the Eastern Conference. The Lightning face one of those players today as they go after a fifth straight victory when the Toronto Maple Leafs pay a visit for an Atlantic Division tussle. Tampa Bay is 6-1-1 in March and 12-2-3 in the last 17 games to gain a virtual tie with the New York Islanders for the second wild card in the East and both are one point clear of Toronto, |

03-16-17 | Jets v. Islanders -121 | 4-2 | Loss | -121 | 2 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tavares recorded his 11th point (six goals, five assists) in his last 12 games on Tuesday by netting his ninth career overtime tally in New York's 3-2 victory over Carolina. The 26-year-old also had a goal and an assist on New Year's Eve as the Islanders improved to 10-3-1 in their last 14 meetings with the Jets with a 6-2 romp. While New York has collected points in 11 of its last 12 home contests (9-1-2) to cling to the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, Winnipeg comes into this one sporting a four-game losing skid |

Rating: 2 Units Nicklas Backstrom set up three goals for the third time this season to reach the 50-assist mark for the fourth consecutive campaign and a franchise-best seventh time in his career. The 29-year-old Swede's impressive outing versus Minnesota upped his season total to a team-leading 70 points, marking the fourth consecutive campaign that he has notched as many and sixth overall, matching Peter Bondra to sit two behind Mike Gartner and three in back of Ovechkin on the franchise list. Fellow center Evgeny Kuznetsov continues to be an offensive force as well, collecting four goals and five assists in his last nine games. While Predators G Pekka Rinne, who is in line to play in his 500th career game on Thursday, owns just a 1-1-2 mark in March while posting a 3.68 goals-against average since Feb. 11. |

03-16-17 | Wild -137 v. Hurricanes | 1-3 | Loss | -137 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota, trailing Chicago by one point and with a game in hand, has won six straight against the Hurricanes, including its last three visits to Carolina. The Hurricanes have lost 12 of their last 16 (4-7-5) after splitting a home-and-home set against the New York Islanders. |
|||||||
03-16-17 | Panthers v. Blue Jackets -157 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 2 h 14 m | Show | |

|||||||
03-15-17 | Blues v. Ducks -141 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anaheim Goaltender Jonathan Bernier has been trending in the right direction in place of a then-injured John Gibson, securing the NHL's Second Star of the Week honors on Monday following a 3-0-0 mark with one shutout, a 1.62 goals-against average and .948 save percentage. The 28-year-old made 25 saves in Sunday's 5-2 win over Washington. Â The Ducks have won five of their last six home games and sport a 12-4-1 mark at the Honda Center since Jan. 1. |
|||||||
03-15-17 | Red Wings -133 v. Avalanche | 1-3 | Loss | -133 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit has represented a standard of excellence in the NHL, but its streak of 25 consecutive postseason appearances -- tied for the third-longest string in NHL history -- is crashing to a halt. A promising start that saw the Red Wings rip off six straight wins in the first two weeks of the season has faded amid six losing streaks of at least four games. Meanwhile, Colorado became the first team to be officially eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday -- the sixth time in seven seasons it has missed the postseason. With the Avalanche set to visit Detroit on Saturday, it's worth noting that the away team has won seven straight meetings in the series, including the Red Wings' past four visits to the Mile High City. |
|||||||
03-15-17 | Bruins v. Flames -105 | 5-2 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The white-hot Calgary Flames have won 10 in a row for the first time since the club was based in Atlanta and can establish a franchise record when they host the visiting Boston Bruins tonight. The rampaging Flames also are riding a 12-game point streak that has vaulted them into a tie with Anaheim for second place in the Pacific Division. Calgary kept its streak intact by knocking off reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh 4-3 in a shootout Monday, matching the team mark for consecutive victories set in 1978. Â Boston has dropped four of the last five against Calgary, including a 2-1 setback at home on Nov. 16. |
|||||||
03-15-17 | Penguins -123 v. Flyers | 0-4 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins are knocking on the door of the Metropolitan Division's penthouse on the strength of a six-game point streak (5-0-1) while the Philadelphia Flyers nearly have knocked themselves out of the race for the final wild-card in the Eastern Conference with losses in 11 of their last 16 contests (5-9-2). Captain Sidney Crosby and the Penguins look to continue their dominance of the fading Flyers today when the Keystone State rivals reconvene at the Wells Fargo Center in snowy Philadelphia. |
|||||||
03-14-17 | Stars v. Oilers -163 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Edmonton, which is clinging to the first wild-card spot, still is in prime position to secure its first playoff berth since it went to the Stanley Cup finals in 2005-06 while defensively starved Dallas has all but packed for the offseason. The Stars increased their goal total allowed to an NHL high-tying 220 following Sunday's 5-1 setback at San Jose. Â Dallas has also surrendered a league-high 11 short-handed goals in 2016-17. |
|||||||
03-14-17 | Lightning v. Senators -135 | 2-1 | Loss | -135 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The surging Ottawa Senators open an important three-game homestand in their quest for the Atlantic Division title when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. The Senators trail first-place Montreal by two points with a pair of games in hand as they attempt to extend a season-high six-game winning streak, in which opponents managed only 11 goals. Senator's goalie Craig Anderson is 6-0-0 with a .940 save percentage in his last six starts, allowing two or fewer goals in each contest. |
|||||||
03-14-17 | Maple Leafs -105 v. Panthers | 2-7 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs have recovered from a five-game losing streak to claw back into postseason contention, but a similar skid may have doomed the playoff chances of the Florida Panthers. Toronto, which is clinging to the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, goes for its fourth straight win when it visits the Panthers tonight. The Maple Leafs are also seeking their fourth victory in as many meetings this season with the Panthers in the second stop of a three-game road trip. Tampa Bay goalie Reimer is winless in his last seven appearances (0-6-1) and will be without top defenseman Aaron Ekblad and rookie Dennis Malgin, who both sustained concussions at Tampa Bay. Reimer has allowed 15 goals in his last three starts and six goals in his only start versus Toronto. |

03-13-17 | Avalanche v. Coyotes -128 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Â Units Colorado is the only team which is mathematically eliminated from postseason contention and while it appears Arizona will be next, the Coyotes try to stave off the inevitable for a little longer by earning two points when they host the Avalanche today. Â Arizona is coming off a thrilling 5-4 victory over New Jersey on Saturday while Colorado failed in its fourth attempt at a three-game winning streak this season with a 4-2 home loss to Ottawa on the same night. |
|||||||
03-09-17 | Senators -125 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ottawa Senators continue their surprising surge toward first place in the Atlantic Division today as they aim for their fifth straight victory when they continue their three-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes. Ottawa trails Montreal by four points for the top spot in the Atlantic with two games in hand thanks to Wednesday's trek-opening 5-2 triumph in Dallas. The Senators rolled past Arizona 7-4 at home Oct. 18 as captain Erik Karlsson was one of five players to register a goal and an assist. |
|||||||
03-09-17 | Ducks v. Blackhawks -165 | 1-0 | Loss | -165 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks are on quite the run, with the reigning Hart Trophy winner recording his third multi-goal performance in five outings and amassing 14 tallies and 21 points in his last 13 to help the team win all but one of those contests. Fresh off a five-day break, the white-hot Blackhawks vie for their eighth straight victory today when they host the Anaheim Ducks. Kane (team-leading 29 goals, 41 assists, 70 points) scored twice in Chicago's 5-3 win over Nashville on Saturday and had a goal and an assist in the Blackhawks' 3-2 win over the Ducks on Nov. 25. Chicago G Corey Crawford improved his career mark to 12-4-2 with a 1.85 goals-against average versus Anaheim after turning aside 34 shots in the previous encounter. |

03-09-17 | Wild -110 v. Lightning | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild look to get their offense going again and solidify a lead in the Central Division when they begin a five-game, eight-day road trip against  Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. The Wild dropped two of three and scored only four times during that span, seeing their advantage in the division over Chicago reduced to one point with one game in hand. However, Minnesota finished with a 33-20 edge in shots. |

The Rangers started their four-game road trip with a sweep of Tampa Bay and Florida on Monday and Tuesday to improve to an NHL-best 24-8-0 away from home. New York snapped out of an offensive malaise in Tuesday's 5-2 win at Tampa Bay, |
|||||||
03-07-17 | Islanders v. Oilers -150 | 4-1 | Loss | -150 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Stumbling out of the blocks has been a cause for concern for captain John Tavares, who has seen his New York Islanders drop three of four to fall to 3-2-1 on their franchise-high nine-game road trip. Clinging to the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, the Islanders look to get it in gear and put an end to a six-game (0-5-1) skid in Alberta's capital city today when they visit the Edmonton Oilers. Â Oilers G Cam Talbot, who is expected to get the nod despite yielding nine goals over his last three contests, made 30 saves in the first encounter with New York to improve to 5-1-0 in his career versus the club. |
