06-03-23 | Panthers v. Golden Knights -123 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals here tonight from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. One thing is for sure this year, which ever team wins, it will be the first for that team in franchise history. Both teams have been here before, Florida back in the 1990's and Vegas in their first season in the NHL back in 2018. Florida wouldn't have even made the playoffs if Pittsburgh would have taken care of business in the final days of the regular season. But, Florida made it and also beat the best team in the regular season, the Boston Bruins. And that was after being down 1-3 in that series. They then went on to beat a very good Toronto team and then the 2nd best team in the East, Carolina, sweeping the Canes. Vegas was good all year, being the best team in the West. They got by Winnipeg easy enough, but were dogs to Edmonton. The Oilers with McDavid and Draisaidl looked to be a tall mountain to climb. But Vegas used their great defense to get past and then stifled Dallas to get here to the finals. Vegas is a great balanced team, with all four lines able to score. They also have the best defense and block more shots than any other team in the league. They picked up Jack Eichel last hear and he was a huge payoff this year. The return of captain Mark Stone from surgery at the start of the playoffs seemed to be that extra nudge the team needed. But what is most amazing is that they did this with five different goalies. The loss of Lehner to season surgery then the emergence of rookie Logan Thompson seemed to be what they needed. But Thompson wend down with an injury and they traded Columbus to get Jonathan Quick who they got from LA. Quick provided some much needed regular season wins. However, it was Laurent Brossoit who emerged as the goalie for the playoffs. Then Brossoit went down in the Edmonton series and in came Adin Hill. Hill performed great the rest of that series and the Dallas series. Quick never has gotten into a playoff game for the Knights. But really, it's this great Vegas defense that makes all these goalies look better then maybe they are. And for me that's the difference here today. The Vegas defense and the depth of scoring on this team. I look for Vegas to win here tonight in game one. |

05-23-23 | Golden Knights v. Stars -141 | 4-0 | Loss | -141 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
The Dallas Stars could easily be 2-0 in this series with the Golden Knights. Yet, they return to Dallas in a must win spot here tonight trailing 0-2. The Stars were 3-0 vs Vegas in the regular season and really easily handled them. So it figures they had high hopes with this matchup. But Dallas had to force OT late in the third period of game one only to lose early in OT. Then Dallas really outplayed Vegas for most of the game in game two. But a late Vegas goal tied the score at forced another OT. This time Vegas again got the fortunate bounce and a win early in OT. However, Dallas has to be confident here in game three. They have had great goal tending and they have played very physical and great defense. Everyone thought a physical/defensive game would benefit Vegas, but it's really helped Dallas. Just some unlucky bounces of the puck have them down 0-2. I'm taking Dallas tonight. They have to win this game or go down 0-3. They have the home crowd behind them and if they play like they did in game two, it's a Dallas win. Play Dallas. |

11-30-22 | Rangers -113 v. Senators | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference clash here tonight between the NY Rangers and the Ottawa Senators. The Ny Rangers are 10-9-4 with 24 points on the season. The Rangers actually have a losing home record and a winning road record this year. The Rangers also looking to snap a three-game losing streak here tonight at Ottawa. As for the Senators, they are next to last in the Eastern Conference with just 17 points. Only Columbus with 16 points has fewer. The Senators have won two straight games after a West road swing that saw them finish with wins over the Ducks, 5-1, and the Kings 3-2. This will be the fifth meeting between the teams this season. The Rangers won the last meeting, 5-1. I like the Rangers again here tonight. |
|||||||
10-18-22 | Ducks v. Devils OVER 6.5 | 2-4 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Anaheim opened the season with a win over the Seattle Kraken, 5-4. However, they have since lost their next two on the road at the Islanders, 1-7, and at the Rangers, 4-6. They have allowed 17 goals in three games while scoring 10 goals. The NJ Devils are 0-2 to start the season, losing to the Flyers, 2-5, and then to the Red Wings, 2-5. They have allowed 10 games in two games. The Ducks are 6-0-1 ov/Un their last seven games dating back to last season. The Devils are 5-0 Ov/Un their last five games dating back to last season. The way these teams are giving up goals, I don't know if the oddsmaker can put up a big enough total here tonight. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
10-17-22 | Canucks +124 v. Capitals | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
NHL just under a week old into the new season and Vancouver still looking for that first win after two games. The Canucks are 0-2 and have scored five goals while allowing eight goals. They will take on the Washington Capitals tonight. The Caps have played three games and are 1-2 with seven goals scored and nine goals allowed. Neither team off to a great start. The Caps have not been all that good dating back to the end of last season. They are 1-5 in their last six games and 2-5 in their last seven home games. They are also 3-7 in their last 10 vs the West's Pacific division. Vancouver a small road dog here tonight. I'll take them in this spot to get their first win of the young season. Play Vancouver. |
|||||||
06-24-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche OVER 6 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
The Colorado Avalanche look to put this Stanley Cup away at home tonight in game five. They are up 3-1 after winning at Tampa in game four, 3-2 in OT. If you watched the OT, Colorado dominated. They had fresh legs and it showed. Colorado had eight days off before the Stanley Cup finals compared to just three by Tampa Bay. This Colorado team is too fast and strong for St Louis, especially on fresh legs. If it wasn't for the Tampa Bay goalie, the Rockies could have blown game four open. He has stopped 12 of 13 Colorado break aways in the series and made amazing saves in game four. Only two players on this Colorado team have been on a Stanley Cup champion. All that being said, I believe Colorado wins it tonight and they score big again. I won't lay the big price with the Avs but I will take the OVER. |
|||||||
06-22-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning UNDER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Game four of the NHL Finals saw the Tampa Bay Lightning get a win on the board in game three in Tampa. The Lightning lost game one in OT, 3-4 and then got blown out in game two, 0-7 before winning in big fashion in game three, 2-6. All three games have gone over and that's no shock considering the speed and offensive prowess of these Colorado Avalanche. Even though the Avs scored just two goals last game, they had at least four games in nine of their previous 10 games. To show how Colorado has dictated the pace in the finals, the Lighting were a good under play through the early rounds of the playoffs. But since they have faced Colorado all three games are over. Will Colorado rebound tonight? One thing they have going for them is that Tampa Bay Right Wing Nikita Kucherov is nursing an injury, though he is probable tonight. I look for Colorado to get back to their scoring ways tonight, which means that Tampa will have to keep pace. I like the OVER in game four. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Panthers -109 v. Lightning | 1-5 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Game three of this series between a pair of Florida NHL teams has the Lightning hosting the Panthers here on Sunday. The Panthers are in dire need of a win here today after losing both game one and game two on their home ice. The Panthers offense was great in their first round, scoring 20 goals. However, they have yet to find that same success here in this round, scoring only two goals. The powerplay has been horrible, going 0-for-22 in the playoffs. The defense has kept the Panthers in the series, allowing only six goals. The Panthers have to win this game or go down 0-3 and have little chance the way the offense has produced. This is their shot here today. Take the Panthers. |
|||||||
04-20-22 | Capitals v. Golden Knights -139 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
This game is really simple. The VGK Golden Knights need to win. Having lost at home to New Jersey the other night makes this one so important that if they lose they likely won't make the playoffs. There are only a handful of games left and Vegas still isn't in the playoffs. So two points here is critical. I'll take a chance on the Knights tonight and see if they really want this or not. Play Vegas. |
|||||||
04-15-22 | Islanders v. Canadiens +134 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
The NHL down to just a handful of games in the regular season. The Montreal Canadiens have been eliminated from the postseason with just 51 points and last place in the Eastern Conference. The Islanders are in a fight for one of the last playoff spots with the Blue Jackets. Just one point separates Montreal and Columbus. The Islanders are coming off a loss at Pittsburgh and have lost three of their last five games. Montreal has lost three straight games. However, seven of their last nine games have been on the road. Now they return home for tonight's contest and I look for them to give the Islanders all kinds of problems. I'll take Montreal at this nice home dog price. |
|||||||
03-03-22 | Penguins +155 v. Lightning | 5-1 | Win | 155 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference matchup here between 2nd place Tampa Bay (76 points) and fifth place Pittsburgh (74 points). Both teams on win streaks as the Lightning have won five straight and the Penguins have won two straight games. Tampa Bay is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and the Penguins are 6-3-1 last 10 games. The Penguins have been a good road bet, as they are 17-5 in their last 22 away games. They are also 9-4 in their last 13 games vs a team with a winning record. Penguins at +1.50 or there about looks like a good live dog bet for me tonight. |
|||||||
02-26-22 | Wild v. Flames -145 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Western Conference clash between two of the top tier teams and 3rd place Calgary hosts fourth place Minnesota. Calgary has been red hot, winning nine of their last 10 games and have the 2nd best goal differential in the Conference with a +49. Minnesota is 5-5 in their last 10 games and has a +37 goal differential. The Flames lead the Wild by just one point in a crowded West where six points separates six teams. I like Calgary on their hot streak here today. Play Calgary. |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Rangers -1.5 v. Senators | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference action here today has the NY Rangers taking on the Ottawa Senators. The Rangers are in 6th place in the East with 67 points. They are also on a 6-3-1 run their last 10 games. They had their three game win streak snapped last game vs Detroit, 2-3. The Senators are 12th in the East with 41 points and are 5-4-1 their last 10 games. The Senators are coming off a loss to Boston 2-3 and are 2-4 their last six games. I'm going to lay the puckline today with the Rangers. |
|||||||
02-19-22 | Kings -175 v. Coyotes | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The LA Kings pulled an unlikely win last night in Vegas. Vegas has dominated the Kings since they came into the league and last night Vegas led 3-1 in the third when the Kings rallied for two goals to tie the game and send it to OT. In the extra period the Kings go the winner and the full points. That makes three wins in their last four games where they have scored at least four games in those wins. They take on a poor Arizona team here today. The Coyotes are coming off a loss to Tampa Bay, 3-4. That makes them just 2-8 their last 10 games. LA has momentum and they picked the perfect team to keep it going here on Saturday. Play the Kings. |
|||||||
02-18-22 | Stars -150 v. Blackhawks | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Western Conference clash tonight as Dallas takes on the Blackhawks in Chicago. Right now neither team looks to be going to the playoffs as Dallas sits 10th and Chicago is 14th. Dallas has won seven of their last 10 games so they are moving up toward that 8th place cutoff. Can't say the same for Chicago who is just 3-6-1 over their last 10 games. Chicago also has the 2nd worst goal differential in the West at -46 goals. Dallas coming off a win over West Conference leader Colorado, 4-1. Chicago coming off a home loss to Columbus, 4-7. I like the surging Stars here tonight. Play Dallas. |
|||||||
02-16-22 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights OVER 6.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
The Colorado Avalanche sit atop the Western Conference standings with 72 points, nine point better than second place Minnesota and 23 better than tonight's opponent, Las Vegas. The Avalanche have a 8-1-1 record their last 10 games and have the best goal differential in the NHL at +56 goals. Vegas is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. They had their three game win streak snapped at Calgary last game, 0-6. Vegas will be without one of their best players and team captain in Mark Stone who is out with a back issue. However, making his first start in over a year is Jack Eichel. The Knights traded for Eichel who had to sit out for about a year with a neck issue before he had surgery three months ago. He's now cleared to play and should provide a big spark for this Vegas team. I look for lots of goals here tonight. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
02-09-22 | Islanders -120 v. Canucks | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
The NY Islanders hope to get back to winning as they start the 2nd half of the season. The Islanders have just 38 points and sit in 12th place in the East. While they have a losing home record, they are 7-7 on the road. They played their last seven games at home and went just 3-4. The return to the road where they seem to be more comfortable. The Vancouver Canucks have 48 points, but in the competitive West that is only good for 12th place. The Canucks started the 2nd half of the season with a win over Arizona, 5-1. That was their 3rd win in their last eight games. The Islanders are a small road favorite here tonight and I'll take them as they just seem to do better away from home. |
|||||||
02-09-22 | Blackhawks v. Oilers -175 | 4-1 | Loss | -175 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
 The Chicago Blackhawks play their first game after the All-Star Break. They hope this half is better than the first half. The Hawks ended the 1st half losing three straight games and seven of their last eight games. They allowed 14 goals in their last three games. The Oilers had finished the first half on a decent run, winning five of their last six games. However, they ran into a healthy Vegas Knights team and that resulted in a 0-4 loss on their home ice. Can't see the Oilers repeating that performance here tonight. Take Edmonton to bounce back. |
|||||||
02-08-22 | Golden Knights v. Oilers +110 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Edmonton finds themselves a small home dog here tonight as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas finished the All-Star break by winning the last two game, including against Buffalo, 5-2. Vegas has dealt with lots of injuries and Covid protocols during the first half of the season. Defenseman Alex Martinez is doubtful today with an injury, but other than that they are healthier than most of the year. The Edmonton Oilers not having as good a season as last year as they sit 23-16-3 overall. Conner MacDavid leads this team, one of the best players in the NHL. Edmonton finished the 1st half of the season winning five of their last six games. That was a big turnaround from their previous seven game losing streak. With Edmonton playing their best right now I'll take them as as small home dog tonight. |
|||||||
02-02-22 | Oilers +100 v. Capitals | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
It's East meets West here tonight as the Eastern Conference Washington Capitals host the Western Conference Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are not having the kind of season they hoped for with all the star fire power they have. The Oilers have just 47 points and right now sit in 11th in the West. The Capitals have 59 points, but that is only good for 7th in the East. The Caps have won two straight games with wins at Dallas, 5-0, and at Pittsburgh, 4-3. The Oilers had their four-game win streak snapped last game at Ottawa, 2-3. This game close to pick or -1.10 on the Oilers. I like Edmonton here tonight as they are much better then their points exhibit. Play Edmonton. |
|||||||
02-01-22 | Flames v. Stars +108 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
The Calgary Flames and Dallas Stars are both tied with 48 points in the Western Conference. That makes them both tied for that final 8th spot in the playoff picture. The winner today can take over sole position of the 8th spot in the West. The Flames are coming off a shut-out over Vancouver their last game, 1-0. They have also won three of their last four games. They are 4-6 their last 10 games overall. The Stars have been very good of late, coming off a win over Boston, 6-1. That makes them 5-1 in their last six games. Stars are a small dog at home here tonight. I'll take that with a team playing very well of late. Play Dallas. |
|||||||
01-30-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Rangers -183 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
The NY Rangers are 5th in the Eastern Conference with 60 points. They have a +19 goal differential this season. They are also 13-4-2 at home. The Rangers look to snap a 2-game losing streak here today against the Kraken. The Rangers are coming off a home loss to Minnesota, 2-3. Still, they are 5-3 over their last eight games. Seattle playing the second game of this road trip as they played in Pittsburgh on Thursday and beat the Penguins, 2-1. Wins haven't been very plentiful for the Kraken, going 5-14 their last 19 games. They also sit next to last in the Western conference with just 32 points and a -39 goal differential. The only team worse in both categories are the Arizona Coyotes. I don't usually like laying big prices like this, but I don't see the Rangers losing here today on their home ice. Play NY Rangers. |
|||||||
01-29-22 | Maple Leafs -1.5 v. Red Wings | 7-4 | Win | 105 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
The Toronto Mapleleafs are 7th overall in the Eastern Conference with 55 points. They have a nice 11-6-2 away record this year and an overall +30 goal differential. The Leafs have won two straight games including last game at home over Anaheim, 4-3. Now they face a Detroit Redwings team that is ninth in the conference with 44 points. The Wings have a -28 goal differential this season. Detroit snapped a 3-game losing streak with a win in their last game at Pittsburgh, 3-2. That was just their third win in their last 10 games. I like the Leafs here tonight but the money line is just too high. Take Toronto on the puck line. |
|||||||
01-27-22 | Predators v. Oilers -106 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
The Nashville Predators have climbed into 2nd place in the NHL Western Conference with 57 points. They trail first place Colorado by 6-spoints. The Predators have won three straight games and are 6-3-1 their last 10 games. The Predators are coming off a win at Seattle, 4-2. The Edmonton Oilers have just 42 points and currently sit 11th in the West. They have won two games in a row including their last game at Vancouver, 3-2. The Oilers have won the last four in this series and the home teams is 4-1 the last five. Good value here with the Oilers tonight. Play Edmonton. |
|||||||
01-16-22 | Canucks +175 v. Capitals | 4-2 | Win | 175 | 3 h 56 m | Show | |
The Vancouver Canucks look to snap a 3-game losing streak here on Sunday as they head to Washington to play the Capitals. The Canucks are on a long road trip, playing their eighth game in a row on the road. They started out nicely, winning three of their first four on this trip before dropping three straight. The Caps snapped a four-game losing streak with a win on Saturday at the NY Islanders, 2-0. Now they have to turn right around and play again tonight. Both teams playing on no rest here today and that's tough on any team. For me, I can't pass on the big dog price with the Canucks. Take Vancouver. |
|||||||
12-20-21 | Wild v. Stars -111 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Minnesota Wild looking to snap a three-game losing streak here today as they hit the road for a game at Dallas. the Wild had won eight in a row before this recent three game skid. They are coming off a loss at home to Buffalo, 2-3. The Dallas Stars also had to endure a losing streak, five games in fact before finally snapping that with a win over Chicago last game, 4-3. I'll take Dallas here tonight as they play at home against the struggling Wild. Play Dallas |
|||||||
12-07-21 | Predators v. Red Wings +113 | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
A pair of 13 win teams matchup here today as the Nashville Predators travel to take on the Detroit Red Wings. The Predators average 2.8 gpg and allow 2.8 gpg this season. Nashville hasn't won two games in a row since November 11 and 13th. They are coming off a win against Montreal that concluded a three game home stand. Detroit brings a four game win streak into tonight's contest. They are coming off a win at home over the Islanders, 4-3. In fact, they have won their last five home games. Getting Detroit as a small home dog here tonight where they have won five straight looks good to me. Play Detroit Red Wings. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Oilers -109 v. Jets | 2-5 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
The Edmonton Oilers are having a excellent season at 11-3 this year. They average a nice 4.2 gpg and allow 3.0 gpg. Their power play has been great, with a 41.9% score rate. The defensive power play also very good at just 11.9% goals allowed. The Oilers are coming off a win at St Louis, 5-4. The Winnipeg Jets are 8-6 on the season and average 3.3 gpg and allow 2.7 gpg. The Jets give up a lot on the power play too, with a 34.2% of goals allowed when shorthanded. Short price here on this very good Edmonton team tonight. I'll take them in this spot. Play Edmonton. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Flyers v. Hurricanes OVER 5.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
The 4-7 Philadelphia Flyers travel to Carolina to take on the hottest team in the NHL in the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes are 10-1 on the season and averaging 3.7 goals per game this year. The team's only loss coming last Saturday at Florida, 2-5. They have gone over in two of their last three games. Philly has lost two of their last three and three of their last five. Carolina looks to be a handful tonight and I expect a lot of goals in this one. Play over. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Devils -125 v. Ducks | 0-4 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
New Jersey Devils look to rebound from a loss last game at home to Columbus, 3-4. The Devils are 4-3 overall on the season and have scored at least three goals in each of their last three games. They will face a Anaheim team that has struggled to a 3-7 record thus far. The Ducks did snap a six game losing streak with a win at Montreal on Sunday night, 4-2. The Ducks have been playing a lot of games thus far, three games in four nights before having last night off. The defense has allowed 3.5 goals per game this year. Fatigue might be an issue here early in the season for Anaheim. I'll take the visitor in this one. Play New Jersey. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Flyers v. Canucks -130 | 2-1 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Philadelphia travels North of the border here today to face the Vancouver Canucks. The Flyers are 3-2 on the season and have been scoring at a very good rate, 4.6 goals per game thus far. They face a 3-4 Canucks squad that isn't as prolific at scoring, just 2.9 goals per game. The Flyers are coming off a win at Edmonton last time out, 5-3. This will be the Flyers second matchup vs the Canucks. They opened the season with a 4-5 loss at home to Vancouver. The Canucks had their two-game win streak snapped at home to Minnesota last game, 2-3. They had just come off a 8-3 goal differential against Seattle and Chicago. I'm going to take Vancouver again here tonight. Play the Canucks. |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Seattle Kraken +120 v. Flyers | 1-6 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
The expansion team Seattle Kraken have looked very competitive thus far in the young season. They opened with a loss at Vegas, 3-4, but were down 0-3 and tied the game in third period 3-3. The Kraken then got their first win over Nashville, 4-3 and lost a tough OT game to Columbus, 2-1. The Philadelphia Flyers have just one game played and that was a dismal performance at home against Vancouver where they gave up a bunch of goals in the 2nd period and needed 2 goals in the final 2 1/2 minute just to force OT where they lost 4-5. The defense wasn't good last year and didn't look good in game one. I'll take the Kraken here today as a small dog. Play Seattle. |
|||||||
10-14-21 | Golden Knights v. Kings OVER 5.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Vegas opened its season on Wednesday with a win over the expansion Seattle Kraken, 4-3. Vegas led 3-0 at one time, but the Kraken rallied to tie the game at 3-3 in the 3rd period before Vegas got the ultimate win. Vegas looks to have taken a bit of a different approach this year as their more open style of play has resulted in more odd man rushes. Still not convinced that Goalie Robin Lehner was the better choice to keep over Marc-Andre Fleury, but he's the one they have. As for LA, they have to find a way to get better and fast. This team didn't make the playoffs last year. Vegas won six of the eight meetings with the Kings last year. LA is still led by veterans Anze Kopitar who tallied 50 points last year. They also have young goalie Calvin Peterson. Kings will be improved this year, but by how much? I'll take the over here tonight. |
|||||||
10-13-21 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -145 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
Start of these season for both these teams here tonight. Toronto will find themselves without a few key cogs. RW Mitchell Marner and Center Auston Matthews are both injured. Marner is questionable while Matthews is out. Montreal had a great run in the playoffs last year, getting all the way to the finals before losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Canadiens beat the Leafs in the first round of the playoffs last year in seven games. Montreal lost a lot of talent from last year including goalie Corey Price. Youth will be the name this year for the Canadiens. Most of the questions though seem to be on defense and in goal. The offense looks good with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield leading the way. I will pass on a side here and take the OVER. |
|||||||
07-07-21 | Canadiens v. Lightning -225 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
Game 5 here in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. The Tampa Bay Lightning are up 3-1 and came within an OT of sweeping the Canadiens. Montreal took game 4, 3-2 in OT but are just delaying the inevitable. The Lightning have outplayed them all series long and while I give the Canadiens credit for not rolling over in game four, this is the end of the line for them here tonight. The price is a bit high, but I'm going to lay it since I believe Tampa Bay will have little trouble tonight winning their 2nd straight Stanley Cup Championship. Play Tampa Bay. |
|||||||
07-05-21 | Lightning v. Canadiens UNDER 5 | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
The only thing left in this year's Stanley Cup finals is whether it's tonight or the next game before Tampa defends it's Stanley Cup Championship. The Lightning are up 3-0 and look unstoppable, even by Canadien goalie Carey Price. Goalie Andrei Vasilevsky has been amazing with a 15-6 record in the playoffs and a 1.94 GAA average. He's been even better against Montreal with a 3-0 record and 1.67 GAA. The only question is whether Montreal will play for some pride here in game four or pack it in. The total is still at 5.0 here tonight despite some high scores by the Lightning. I have no doubt that the Lightning can keep the Candiens scoring down. I'm going to hope that Price plays like he did in the Vegas series here tonight and take the UNDER. |

The Montreal Canadiens backs are up against the wall as they play game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals here on Friday. The Habs lost games one and two at Tampa Bay, 1-5 and 1-3. The magic of Carey Price just hasn't been enough thus far. Now they face pretty much a do or die game three. The Habs can't afford to go down 0-3 in this series. However, they haven't been able to get past this Tampa team thus far. I'm going to take the Lightning here tonight as I look for a quick finals and second straight Stanley Cup title for Tampa Bay. Play Tampa Bay. |

Game one of the Stanley Cup finals has the Montreal Canadiens taking on the defending Cup Champions, Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning needed seven games to dispose of the NY Islanders, winning game seven 1-0. The Canadiens defeated the highly favored Vegas Golden Knights in six games, the last a OT win. In fact, three of the games in that series went to OT. The Canadiens rode the back of goalie Carey Price who saved them on many occasions and held one of the best offenses in the league in check. Price was brilliant between the pipes for the Habs. I will be taking the Lightning here in game one and laying the 1.5 goals. |

06-25-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -157 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
The NY Islanders forced a game seven here tonight in Tampa Bay after taking game six in OT, 3-2. The Islanders trailed 1-2, but tied the game late and then won in OT to get to this decisive game 7. The winner will take on the Montreal Canadiens who advanced after their six game series win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Tampa hasn't lost consecutive postseason games in over two years. They are 13-0 in the game following a playoff loss dating back to last year's title run. That includes their 8-0 rout of the Islanders in game five. Have to side here with the defending Stanley Cup Champions on their home ice that don't lose back-to-back playoff games. Play Tampa Bay. |

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning looking all the part of a champion after demolishing the NY Islanders on Monday, 8-0. That humiliating defeat might have just been the daggar in the back to finish these Islanders. The Lightning are now just one game from returning to the Stanley Cup finals and after the last game I don't see much fight left in the Islanders. I'll lay the price here on the road with the Lightning. Play Tampa Bay. |

06-19-21 | Lightning v. Islanders +115 | 2-3 | Win | 115 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Islanders opened this series with a hard fought win at Tampa Bay, 2-1. The Lightning then took game two on their home ice, 4-2. The venue shifted to the Islanders home ice where they lost 1-2. This whole series has been low scoring and I look for that to continue here today. I also look for the Islanders to get the win and even this series at 2-2. Look for a low scoring game and an Islanders win. Play NY Islanders. |

06-18-21 | Golden Knights -159 v. Canadiens | 2-3 | Loss | -159 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
After their game on dominance, I stated that the Canadiens needed to do something different in game two. For Montreal, that means scoring first and that's just what they did. They hadn't trailed in their previous seven games before falling behind in game one to Vegas. That changed in game two where they scored first and built a 3-0 lead before Vegas mounted a comeback that fell short at 3-2. So here in game three, that first goal is key. The team that gets that goal has a high probability of winning this game. I believe that will be Vegas. They proved they can win on the road as they did at both Minnesota and Colorado. They will prove it again here in game three in Montreal. Play Vegas. |

06-16-21 | Canadiens v. Golden Knights UNDER 5 | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Vegas dominated game one of this semifinal clash, 4-1. The score could have been a lot higher if not for Carey Price and some great saves for the Habs. Still, game one the Knight dominated every facet of the game and had three of their goals scored by defensemen. Vegas has arguably the best defense in the NHL and offensive minded defensemen. Their speed was too much, their forchecking too much, they bottled up the Canadiens in their own zone. And of course Marc-Andre Fluery was great between the pipes again. Unless Montreal turns things around, this could be a quick series. Our under in game one was a nail biter as the Habs pulled their goalie with nearly five minutes to play and had numerous scoring chances. Plus the Knights missed two or three empty net goals by mere inches. Still I don't see Montreal scoring much more than they did in game one. As for today, I can't lay the huge price, but we won the total in game one, lets do it again. Play UNDER. |

Vegas Golden Knights tied this series at 2-2 after a commanding win in game four. The Knights got the hat trick from Jonathan Marchessault and another outstanding performance from goalie Marc-Andre Fluery. Tonight the venue shifts back to Denver where the Avs have been about unbeatable. They beat VGK in game one, 7-1. Both teams are really heating up the shooting and aggressive play. Tonight we get a 5.5 total and I expect this game to go over that number. Play OVER. |

06-04-21 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights +103 | 2-3 | Win | 103 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
VGK Golden Knights likely played their best game in the postseason in game two at Denver, but still lost 2-3 in OT. The Knights did just about everything right, but you can't fight the refs. The Knights had five penalties, the last coming in a controversial OT slashing that led to the game winning goal by Colorado. The Avs now take a 2-0 lead back to Vegas tonight at the T-Mobile Arena. The Knights also hit the post with five shots. That's five shots that came inches from goals. Marc-Andre Fluery played a great game but the power plays led to two of the three Avs goals. Tonight. VGK has to win or face going down 0-3 to the Stanley Cup favorites Colorado. T-Mobile Arena will at full 100% capacity for the first time in over a year and that means the place will be rocking. I'm taking the Knights here tonight as a even money dog or slightly better. Play Vegas. |

The Tampa Bay Lightning return home for game three of this 2nd round series after taking both games in Raleigh and a commanding 2-0 lead. Both Tampa victories were by the same 2-1 score. Carolina had a good series against Nashville, scoring at least three goals in each of their four wins. In fact, four of the six games vs the Predators went over. Tampa Bay can also score well, as they did in the Florida series with 24 goals in the six games. While the first two in this series were low scoring I see the change in venue will also change this to a higher scoring series. Play OVER. |

NHL 2nd round action here has the Winnipeg Jets hosting the Montreal Canadiens in game one of their seven game set. Despite losing their last five games of the regular season, the Canadiens pulled the upset in round one over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Habs were down 1-3 in that series and came back for the improbable win. The Winnipeg Jets made quick work of the favored Edmonton Oilers in their first round series. The Jets swept the Oilers, 4-0, the last three all in OT. The Jets are the well rested team here, having swept their series while the Canadiens had to go seven. The Jets are also 6-3 vs the Canadiens this year. Good spot here for the Jets in game one. Play Winnipeg. |

The Carolina Hurricanes looking for a win in this second round NHL playoff series with the Lightning after losing game one, 1-2. Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevsky was the difference maker in game one for the Lightning, stopping 37 of 38 shots. Carolina opened at pick here in game two and has moved to a small favorite. I see that as value here as the Hurricanes are still an excellent team that knows they can't lost both games at home to start this series or face big troubles heading to Tampa Bay. I look for the Canes to bounce back with a win in game two. Play Carolina. |

Game two of this second round NHL Playoff series between the NY Islanders and the Boston Bruins. The Islanders dropped game one of this series 2-5. The Bruins are hot, winning five straight games in row. David Pastrnak had a hat trick. Goalie Tuukka Rask turned back 20 saves for the Bruins and improved to 5-1 in the postseason with a 1.84 GAA. The Islanders are now 0-4 in their last four games against the Bruins. They are also 4-10 in their last 14 road games. Bruins are 11-1 in their last 12 games at home. Stiff price here today, but the Bruins are the play for me. Play Boston. |

05-30-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche -178 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
Vegas in a tough spot here in game one at Colorado to start this best of seven 2nd round series. Vegas had to go a difficult 7 games to win over Minnesota after leading 3-1 in that series. It was a physical series and likely took a lot out of Vegas. Now, they have to play arguably the best team in the NHL and Stanley Cup favorite in Colorado. They had just one day off to prepare and travel for tonight's game one. Meanwhile, the Avs swept St Louis in four straight and have lots of time off to rest and prepare. The only good news for Vegas was the return of Max Pacioretty who netted the game winning goal against the Wild in game seven. That being said though, Vegas in a letdown spot here today and this Colorado team isn't the team to have a letdown against. I don't usually like laying these kinds of prices, but the situation calls for here it here tonight. Play Colorado in game one. |

The Tampa Bay Lightning continue defense of their Stanley Cup Championship as they play at the Carolina Hurricanes in this opening game of the NHL 2nd round playoffs. Tampa Bay got here by beating the Florida Panthers and the Hurricanes defeated Nashville. This is the fifth time in the last seven seasons that the Lightning have made the second round of the playoffs. Rookie Alex Nedeljkovic has started all six of the Hurricanes' postseason games, with a 2.22 GAA and .922 save percentage. He is also 2-1 in the past against the Lightning. The Canes average the third highest goals in the postseason (3.67) and allow the 6th lowest (2.67). The Lightning have lost three of last four visits to Carolina and I like today's price on the host. Play Carolina. |

05-23-21 | Oilers -127 v. Jets | 4-5 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
The Edmonton Oilers are the higher seed of this pairing with the Winnipeg Jets, but you wouldn't know it after the first two games. The Jets stole both games in Edmonton, including a 1-0 overtime victory in game two. The Oilers NHL leading point scorer, Connor McDavid, has struggled to get anything going thus far in the playoffs. He and the rest of the Oilers had better find some urgency here in game three or they will face the dreaded 0-3 hole in this series. Winnipeg's defense has been stellar through the first two games. While the Jets haven't scored much either, their goals have been well timed. This is really do or die game three for the Oilers. McDavid and Leion Draisaitl have no points and that has to change today. I have to give Edmonton a shot here as they know this is the game that means everything to them at this point. Play Edmonton. |

The Nashville Predators can even their best of seven series with the Carolina Hurricanes at 2-2 after trailing 0-2 coming back to the Music City. The Canes dropped a double-OT game in game three, 4-5. That was the third consecutive loss for the Canes at Nashville. The Preds expect North of 12k fans here today and that will help them out. Good price here on the Canes as I fully expect them to take game four and a commanding 3-1 lead in this series. Play Carolina. |

Florida Panthers got a win finally in OT of game game three to get back in this series as they are down 1-2 to the Lightning. Tampa looks for that home win here today in this early start to take a commanding 3-1 lead. Still, the Lightning have had their way with their intrastate rivals, going 10-3 over the last 13 matchups. The Lightning are too good a home team to lose two in a row on the home ice. I'll take the Lightning to bounce back here on early Saturday. Play Tampa Bay. |

05-21-21 | Jets v. Oilers -169 | 1-0 | Loss | -169 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
The Edmonton Oilers boast the NBA's top point scorer in Connor McDavid who tallied over 100 points this year. That didn't help them in game one of this series, as the Oilers dropped game one at home to the Jets, 1-4. McDavid and Leion Draisaitl, who normally carry the Oilers, did little in game one. Winnipeg had lost nine of their last 10 games before winning the last two games. I can't see the Oilers dropping two in a row here at home, and you can bet McDavid won't be held in check again here tonight. Play Edmonton. |

The Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild play game three of their best of seven series here tonight. The Series moves from Vegas to Minnesota with the series tied at 1-1. Minnesota won game one in OT, 1-0 and then lost game two 1-3. They led 1-0 in game two in the 2nd period before giving up three straight gaols. Minnesota goalie Talbot has been great between the pipes, having to stop a myriad of shots from Vegas. Vegas has rotated goalies most of the year, but Marc-Andre Flury has started both games for Vegas in the postseason. Fluery is 36 years old but still a great goaltender and having one of his best seasons ever. Vegas has been without their leading scorer in Max Pacioretty. Pacioretty is day-to-day but his absence definitely hurts this Vegas team. Captain Mark Stone hasn't looked as sharp since Pacioretty has been out. There is only one team Vegas has a losing record against this year and that is Minnesota. The Wild have given Vegas fits ever since Vegas came into the league four years ago. I'll take Minnesota here tonight. |

05-19-21 | Predators v. Hurricanes UNDER 5.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
The Carolina Panthers look to hold home court as they seek a 2-0 lead in this series with the Nashville Predators. It took the Predators winning 20 of their last 28 regular season games to secure that 4th and final playoff spot. This series didn't start the way the Predators were hoping as they couldn't overcome a third period surge by the Panthers to lose game one, 2-5. The Predators are now 1-4 over/under in their last five road games. They are also 4-11-2 o/u in their last 17 games as a dog. Carolina is 2-7-1 o/u in their last 10 vs a team with a winning record. With the exception of game one, this has been a under series of late with a 1-5-1 O/U record the last seven meetings. I'm going to come back with the under here tonight. |

Game 2 of this Florida series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers. The Panthers had their six game win streak snapped in game one of this best of seven series with the Lightning, 4-5. The Lightning saw its 3-game losing streak snapped with that win in game one. The Panthers have been excellent at home this year and I fully expect them to bounce back here in game two and pull out the win. Play Florida. |

05-18-21 | Islanders v. Penguins -132 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
 The Pittsburgh Penguins look to even this best of seven series with the NY Islanders here tonight at one game apiece. The Islanders took game one of this series with a 4-3 overtime win. The Penguins (no 1 East Seed) needs to win this home ice game tonight or face an 0-2 deficit and loss of home ice all together. They have already lost that edge, but that edge can become a mountain with another setback here tonight. The Penguins have not been good in the postseason, winning just one of their last 11 in the postseason. The Islanders have not been all that good on the road with just three wins in their last 11. I'm taking Pittsburgh to get this series all evened up tonight. Play Pittsburgh. |

 Both these teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. The Vancouver Canucks are last in the North division with 45 points while the Calgary Flames are right above them with 49 points. Both teams give up lots of goals and the only thing on the line tonight is some pride. That being said I won't look for side here, rather I will be playing the OVER. I expect both sides to look at younger players and that will open up scoring opportunities on both side. Take the OVER and enjoy the show. Play OVER. |

The Canadiens are set solidly in 4th place and will face Toronto in the first round of the playoffs. The Oilers have won two straight games and are 7-3 in their last 10. The Canadiens have lost four straight and are just 2-8 their last 10. Both teams headed in opposite directions. I'll take the Oilers tonight. |

Just a couple games left in the NHL regular season and the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals are separated by just two points in the East division. The Capitals are 2nd with 75 points, two points back of first place Pittsburgh, and Boston is in 3rd, two points back of Washington. Boston won on Monday at home over the NY Islanders, 3-2. These teams finish their respective regular seasons against each other with a pair of games. They conclude their season on Saturday. That makes each of these games big since they are just 2-points apart. Difference here is that the Bruins forced to play last night while the Caps have had two days off. I'm going to take the more rested team at home here tonight. Play Washington. |

Great game on tap tonight, possibly the best of the regular season. Both teams control their own destiny. Vegas grabs not only the best record in the West but the President's Trophy for the best overall record in the NHL with a win tonight. They may be without some key cogs though as Def Ryan Reeves will miss his 15 game in a row and LW Max Pacioretty is questionable tonight. Colorado can win the West and the President's Trophy with a win tonight and a sweep of the LA Kings in their final two games. They may be without C Nathan MacKinnon though who is questionable with a lower body issue. Both teams have plenty of offense and this should be a high scoring affair. Play OVER. |

Just a few games left in the regular NHL season and while every division is locked into their teams making the postseason, there is still room for positioning. That's the case for the Boston Bruins here tonight. The Bruins are third in the East Division with 71 points. They are four points back of 2nd place Washington and just one point ahead of fourth place NY Islanders. The Bruins are coming off a loss and are 6-3-1 overall their last 10. They will face the team right behind them tonight, the Islanders. The winner here tonight moves into 3rd place. The Islanders are coming off a win over New Jersey, but are just 4-4-2 over their last 10. I'm on the side of the home team Bruins tonight who are playing just a bit better than the visitors. Play Boston. |

Just a handfull of games left in the NHL regular season as most playoff spots have been filled. The NY Rangers have been eliminated from the playoffs while the Boston Bruins have third place right now in the East division. The Bruins can still improve to 2nd as they trail the Capitals by just two points. The Bruins are 7-2-1 over their last 10 games while the Rangers have lost five straight. The Rangers have also allowed at least four games in four of their last five games. Bruins will still be putting forth effort here today and against this Rangers team I'm looking for plenty of goals. Play OVER. |

 Only a handful of games left in the NHL regular season and two teams still alive to make a playoff spot meet tonight as the Coyotes host the Kings. The LA Kings likely are done, they sit nine-points back of 4th place St Louis for that final spot. However, Arizona has a much better chance, sitting five points back of the Blues. The Coyotes have lost two straight and are 3-6-1 over their last 10 games. The Kings are 4-6 over their last 10 games. Neither team likely will gain that fourth spot, but Arizona needs this one much more than the Kings do. Play Arizona. |

The NHL is down to a final few games in their regular season. The Winnipeg Jets are in 3rd place in the All-Canadian North Division. The jets have 57 points, five back of 2nd place Edmonton and just two ahead of fourth place Montreal. The Jets look to snap a 6-game losing streak here tonight at Ottawa. The Senators have been eliminated from the playoffs with just 43 points. The Senators have the worst goal differential in the division with a -36. Winnipeg doesn't want to fall to fourth place and with that I'll lay the money on the road with them here tonight. Play Winnipeg. |

05-01-21 | Panthers -147 v. Blackhawks | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
NHL Central action here has the Chicago Blackhawks hosting the Florida Panthers tonight. The Panthers have locked-up a playoff spot as they sit 2nd in the division. However, they still can get top spot as they trail first place Carolina by just two-points. They also need to keep Tampa Bay in third, which they lead by just one game. The Chicago Blackhawks are not officially eliminated from the playoffs, but time is running out fast. They Hawks trail fourth place Nashville by six points. They have also lost three straight as they come into tonight's game. For me, the Hawks know they are done and that means the Panthers have a bit more to play for tonight. Play Florida. |

The Leafs have won four straight games and are 5-3-2 their last 10. the Vancouver Canucks are dead last in the division with just 41 points and have a three game losing streak coming into this game. I like this game to have plenty of scoring tonight. Play the OVER. |

All Canadian North action here on Friday has Winnipeg taking on the Canadiens. Winnipeg is 3rd in the North with 57 points, three back of second place Edmonton. The Jets look to snap a five-game losing streak here tonight. The Montreal Canadiens are 4th in the North, six points back of the Jets and four points ahead of fifth place Calgary. Winnipeg had to play last night in Edmonton. During this five game losing streak they have scored more than one goal in one game. The other four combined they have three goals. I'm going to take the host in this one as the Jets are playing too poorly right now to back. Play Montreal. |

04-29-21 | Flames +115 v. Oilers | 3-1 | Win | 115 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
NHL North action here tonight has the Edmonton Oilers hosting the Calgary Flames. Calgary is 5-5 over their last 10 games and lost last time out to Montreal, 1-2. The Flames need wins and fast as time is running out on the regular season. The Flames sit in that 5th spot, trailing 4th place Montreal by six points. Edmonton is playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight after winning at Winnipeg last night, 3-1. The Oilers are 2nd in the North and will try to hold that spot over third place Winnipeg. No chance to catch division leader Toronto who has seven more points. I like the Flames here tonight as Edmonton has to play back-to-back. Play Calgary. |

The Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche are the top two teams in the West division. The Knights lead the division with 70 points and Colorado is right behind with 66 points and three games in hand. So these matchups in the final games could be what determines the team that wins the division. The Golden Knights have the best goals against in the NHL this year. They have two solid starting goalies and a load of talent. The Avalanche, who are 7-3-0 over their last 10 games, have speed to burn on this team. This is going to be a great matchup here tonight in Vegas. I'll take the host in this one. Play Vegas. |

04-28-21 | Blues v. Wild -149 | 4-3 | Loss | -149 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
 The Minnesota Wild have secured a playoff spot as they sit 3rd in the West Division with 65 points. They trail 2nd place Colorado by just one point. The St Louis Blues hold the 4th and final West playoff spot. However, they hold just a one-game lead over 5th place Arizona. The Wild have been hot, winning seven straight games and going 8-1-1 over their last 10 games. The Blues have been inconsistent of late, going 5-5-0 their last 10. I like the Wild here tonight. They still have that 2nd place spot to play for. Play Minnesota. |
|||||||
04-27-21 | Panthers -111 v. Predators | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
NHL Central action here tonight has the 2nd place Florida Panthers taking on the 4th place Nashville Predators. The Panthers have 67 points and trail first place Carolina by just two points. They lead third place Tampa Bay by just one point. Meanwhile, Nashville has 56 points and leads 5th place Dallas by just two points. The cutoff for a playoff spot is fourth place. I'm looking for that bounce back here tonight has the Panthers lost last game to these Predators, 1-4. Play Florida. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | Oilers v. Jets OVER 6 | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
The Edmonton Oilers are in third place in the NHL North division with 56 points. They trail Winnipeg by just one point for second place. The Oilers are 6-3-1 over their last 10 games. The Winnipeg Jets are in 2nd in the North with 57 points. They trail first place Toronto by eight points with less than 10 games to play. The Jets look to snap a three game losing streak here tonight. The Jets have allowed 12 goals over their three-game losing streak. Six of the last eight meetings between these teams in Winnipeg have gone OVER the total. That's what I am on here tonight. Play OVER. |
|||||||
04-25-21 | Bruins v. Penguins +108 | 0-1 | Win | 108 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
East Division action today has the Boston Bruins playing at the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins sit 4th in the East, with a six-point lead for that final playoff spot over the NY Rangers. The Pittsburgh Penguins are 2nd in the East with 65 points, two points ahead of third place NY Islanders. The Bruins could be without Center Patrice Bergeron today who has a lower body injury and is questionable. The Bruins had their six-game win streak snapped last time out at Buffalo, 4-6. They are now 7-3-0 over their last 10 games. The Penguins bring a 3-game win streak into today's contest and are 7-2-1 over their last 10 games. Penguins a slight dog at home here today against a team with fewer points. I'll take the home dog here. Play Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
04-23-21 | Predators -128 v. Blackhawks | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
The Nashville Predators are fighting for the 4th and last playoff spot in the Central Division. The Predators have 52 points, but hold just a 2-point lead over Dallas and 3-point lead over Chicago. The Blackhawks also need tonight's game if they hope to climb back into the playoff picture. The Hawks are 5-5-0 over their last 10 games while the Predators are 6-3-1. This is the third game in a row between these teams with Nashville winning at home in game one, 5-2 and then losing at Chicago in the last game, 5-4. I look for Nashville to bounce back here tonight. Play Nashville. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Avalanche v. Blues +142 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
The Colorado Avalanche have fallen to 2nd place in the West because first place Vegas has more games in hand and has won eight straight games. Still these two top West teams have meetings left that likely will determine the West Champion. St Louis is fighting for its life in the West with the Arizona Coyotes. The two teams keep flopping positions with the Blues in 5th right now, one point back of Arizona. The Blues have lost two straight and are 3-6-1 over their last 10. The Avalanche have won four straight and are 9-1-0 their last 10. Avalanche the better team and hotter team, but St Louis is a nice home dog here tonight and anything can happen in the NHL right now. I'll take a shot here with the live dog. Play St Louis. |
|||||||
04-22-21 | Flyers v. Rangers -169 | 3-2 | Loss | -169 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
The New York Rangers are sitting just outside the playoff picture in the East with 52 points. They trail fourth place Boston by 6-points so that makes every game almost a must win for the Rangers with just about 10 games to play. The Philadelphia Flyers are in 6th place, five points back of the Rangers and likely won't have enough games left to get into the top four. Philly has lost two in a row and is 3-4-3 their last 10 games. The Rangers are 6-2-2 their last 10 games. This game means more to the Rangers who realistically can still make the playoffs. Play New York Rangers. |
|||||||
04-21-21 | Canadiens v. Oilers -127 | 4-3 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
The Edmonton Oilers are in 3rd place in the All Canadian North division. The Oilers are just one point back of 2nd place Winnipeg and five points back of first place Toronto. The Oilers have also won two straight games and are 6-2-2 over their last 10 games. The Montreal Canadiens are holding onto that 4th and final playoff spot in the North. The Canadiens have 47 points and lead fifth place Calgary by six points. They trail third place Edmonton by nine points. Not a lot for the Canadiens to play for here as they looks solidly in fourth place. However, the Oilers can climb into 2nd tonight and inch closer to that top spot in the North with a win here. Play Edmonton. |
|||||||
04-20-21 | Devils v. Penguins -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 13 m | Show | |
NHL getting close to the end of the regular season. The New Jersey Devils are next to last in the East and very close to elimination from the postseason. They are just 1-8-1 in their last 10 games and have lost six straight games. Won't get any easier tonight at Pittsburgh. The Penguins are 3rd in the East with 59 points and just one point back of 2nd place Islanders and three points back of the 1st place Washington Capitals. These games big for the Penguins as they look to move up in the East. Play the Penguins on the goal line. |
|||||||
04-19-21 | Wild -143 v. Coyotes | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
 Last stretch of the NHL regular season and these West teams both looking for wins. The Minnesota Wild are in 3rd place with 57 points and look pretty solid at that place. However, the Arizona Coyotes are in 4th place just one point ahead of St Louis and four points ahead of San Jose for that final playoff spot. The Coyotes are just 4-6-0 over their last 10 games while the Wild have won three straight and are 6-3-1 over their last 10. I like the Wild, they are a solid team with a pair of excellent goaltenders. Play Minnesota. |
|||||||
04-18-21 | Maple Leafs v. Canucks OVER 6 | 2-3 | Loss | -123 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
The Toronto Maple Leafs look to bounce back here tonight after a 2-5 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Vancouver finally back on the ice after a lengthy Covid protocol. They haven't played since a March 24th loss to Winnipeg, 1-5. Rust will surely play a part on the Canucks side, especially on defense and in goal tending. It's difficult to simulate game conditions after such a long layloff. This should be a high scoring game. Play OVER. |
|||||||
04-17-21 | Blues -132 v. Coyotes | 2-3 | Loss | -132 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
As the NHL enters the final leg of the regular season the NHL West St Louis Blues are fighting for that final playoff spot. The Blues are 4th right now, but hold just a one point advantage over Arizona and three points over San Jose. That makes today's game with the Coyotes huge in the playoff hopes of these teams. The Coyotes have lost five straight games as they come into tonight's contest. The Blue are not playing well either with a 3-6-1 record their last 10. This is a tough spot for both teams and very important. I'll take the Blues here today as the Coyotes look to be self destructing. |
|||||||
04-16-21 | Sharks v. Wild UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
NHL entering the home stretch of the regular season and two teams both in need of a win play here tonight. The San Jose Sharks are 6th right now and need to get to that 4th place slot if they want to make the postseason. The Sharks have 40 points and are just four points back of 4th place St Louis, so it's well within their reach. The Minnesota Wild have 53 points and a solid hold on third place, seven points back of Vegas for 2nd place and nine points ahead of fourth place St Louis. San Jose has lost three straight games and scored just three total goals in those games. In face, they have just four goals in four of their last five games. I'm looking at a defensive battle here tonight. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
04-14-21 | Flames +144 v. Canadiens | 4-1 | Win | 144 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
All Canadian North action here tonight has the Calgary Flames playing at the Montreal Canadiens. The Flames are fifth right now in the North and that means they are six points back of the Canadiens for that 4th and final playoff spot. The Flames have improved, winning their last two games Toronto and Edmonton by a combined 8-2 score. The Canadiens are 5-4-1 over their last 10 games and while the cushion is six points, this is a crucial game for the Flames. They can ill afford to lose to team ahead of them in the playoff race. I'll take the dog price here with the Flames who need this game. Play Calgary. |
|||||||
04-12-21 | Maple Leafs -130 v. Canadiens | 2-4 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
The all Canadian North Division is led by the Toronto Maple Leafs with 59 points. The Leafs are 9-0-1 over their last 10 games and have won six straight games. They have pulled away from 2nd place Winnipeg by six points. Tonight the Leafs play at Montreal. The Canadiens have 43 points and a solid hold on that fourth and final playoff spot. The Canadiens have lost three straight and are 4-4-2 over their last 10 games. Leafs one of the hottest teams right now in all of the NHL. I'll take them and lay the price on the road tonight. Play Toronto. |
|||||||
04-09-21 | Kings v. Sharks OVER 5.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show | |
West Conference action here on Friday has the LA Kings taking on the San Jose Sharks. The Kings are in next to last place in the West with 36 points and trail fourth place Arizona by 7-points. The Sharks are just one spot above the Kings in sixth place with 38 points. The Sharks are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games. The Sharks had won four straight games before losing to the Ducks last time out. The Kings are coming off a 4-3 win over the Coyotes, just their 2nd win in their last eight games. I like the total here tonight as these two teams should put up plenty of goals. Play OVER. |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Coyotes v. Kings -111 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
NHL West action here tonight has the Phoenix Coyotes taking on the LA Kings. The Arizona Coyotes are currently sitting in that all important 4th position, holding a 5-point lead over 5th place St Louis. The Coyotes have won three straight games and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. The LA Kings playoff hopes are fading fast as they are in next to last in the West with 34 points. That makes every game against a team like Phoenix very important to them. These teams have split their last four matches with the Coyotes taking the last game 5-2. I look for LA to bounce back and split these two games with the Coyotes. Play LA |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Golden Knights -133 v. Blues | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
The Vegas Golden Knights (VGK) have been atop the NHL West Division for most of the season. However, they have fallen four points back of the Colorado Avalanche because they bring a 4-game losing streak into today's contest. Now they face a St Louis club that is also struggling, losers of six straight games. The Blues have dropped out of the playoff picture due to that losing streak as they sit in 5th place, 3-points back of Arizona. Both clubs in desperate need of a win here tonight. I will take the VGK. Play Vegas. |
|||||||
04-02-21 | Blues +210 v. Avalanche | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
St Louis in desperate times for a win as their 4th place playoff position is in jeopardy as they lead Arizona by just one point now in the West. St Louis has lost four straight and is just 2-5-3 their last 10. Won't be easy here tonight against co-West leader Colorado. The Avs are tied with Vegas with 50 points atop the West. Colroado has won two straight and is 8-0-2 over their last 10 games. St Louis still a quality team and at this big dog price they are worth a shot. Take the Blues tonight. |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Islanders v. Penguins -104 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Two of the top three teams in the NHL East matchup here on Monday as the No 2 Islanders take on No 3 Penguins. The Islanders have 48 points and trail first place Washington by just 2-points. The Islanders are coming off a loss, but are 7-3-0 over their last 10 games. The Pittsburgh Penguins have 46 points, trailing the Islanders by just two points. A outright win here tonight by Pitt can put them into 2nd place. Pittsburgh has been hot, winning three straight and going 7-2-1 over their last 10 games. Great odds here tonight with the Penguins at home just a 1.10 favorite. I'll take those odds. Play Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
03-27-21 | Jets v. Flames OVER 6 | 2-4 | Push | 0 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Canadian North action here today has Winnipeg taking on Calgary. The Winnipeg Jets are 2nd in the North with 44 points and look to challenge for the top spot with Toronto. The Jets have won three straight and are 6-3-1 over their last 10 games. They are also 2nd in the division in total goals scored (112). Calgary is 2nd to last in the division with 33 points and a 15-17-3 record. The Flames have lost four straight games. I look for a lot of goals in this matchup today. I'm on the OVER. |
|||||||
03-24-21 | Kings v. Sharks OVER 5.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
Two of the bottom three teams in the NHL West meet tonight as the Sharks host the Kings. The Kings have 32 points and are in 6th place in the West, four-points ahead of the Sharks. LA is 4-4-2 over its last 10 games as are the Sharks. Neither one of these teams likely to make the playoffs as both have issues on both sides of the blue line. For me, I'm looking for a high scoring game here tonight. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
03-24-21 | Sabres v. Penguins -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
 East Division action here today in the NHL has the 3rd place Pittsburgh Penguins taking on the last place Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres have been in bad form, going 0-9-1 over their last 10 games with a 14-game losing streak. Won't get any better tonight against a good Pitt team that is 19-11-2 and 7-2-1 over their last 10 games. Can't play the money line in this game, but I can lay 1 1/2 goals with the favorite. Play Pittsburgh -1.5 goals. |
|||||||
03-22-21 | Ducks v. Wild -1.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
The NHL West one of the better divisions in the league this year with four teams all within six points of first place. The 3rd place Minnesota Wild have 37 points and trail first place Vegas by six points. The Wild look to snap a two-game losing streak tonight. They lost both games at Colorado by a combined 11-1 score. That snapped a five-game win streak. This Anaheim team looks to be just the medicine they need to get back to winning. The Ducks are in last place in the West and likely won't make the playoffs. With just over half the season gone, the Ducks trail fourth place St Louis by 13 points. They are also 3-6-1 in their last 10 games and have the worst goal differential in the West at -39 goals. Take Minnesota here tonight. |
|||||||
03-19-21 | Rangers v. Capitals -129 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
East Division matchup here today as the 1st place Washington Capitals host the 6th place NY Rangers. The Caps lead the division with 42 points. They are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and have won six straight. The Rangers will have to improve if they hope to crack the top four in the division for a playoff spot. The Rangers have 28 points and trail 4th place Boston by 8-points. New York is 5-4-1 over their last 10 games. Caps laying a decent price at home tonight. I'll take the first place team. Play Washington. |
|||||||
03-17-21 | Sharks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Vegas has owned the San Jose Sharks, not only winning all three games this year but going 9-4 in the last 13 games in Vegas. Vegas is the top team in the West thanks in big part to 36-year old Marc Andre Fluery. Fluery is having a great season and has the Knights allowing the fewest goals in the league this season. Add to that that the line of Mark Stone and Max Paciorty have been amazing this season and the Knights just have way too much for this overmatched Sharks team. Can't lay the money line, but I'll lay the puck line here tonight with the Knights. |
