04-24-16 | Stars -125 v. Wild | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Dallas Stars Money Line -125 @ Minnesota @ 3:05 ET - The Stars are fired up after the way they lost Game 5 on home ice and they want to close this series out in Game 6 and not risk an "anything can happen" Game 7. Why should there be confidence that they can do that? For one thing the Stars have not lost two straight games since mid-March. For another thing, the Wild have not won two straight games since the end of March. In fact, before their win in Game 5, Minnesota had lost 8 of their last 9 games! In those 8 losses Minny averaged 1 goal per game! That's not going to get it done against the Stars and, after Antti Niemi struggled in Game 5, I would not be surprised to see Dallas go back to Kari Lehtonen who had played so well early in this series. Look for the Stars to tighten up the defense again and shut down the Wild. As for the Dallas offense, they are among the top teams in the league and the Wild have struggled to slow them down throughout this series. Even in the loss in Game 5, the Stars totally outplayed the Wild and Dallas has scored an average of 3.2 goals per game in this series. Minnesota has lost 12 of 21 when off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. Dallas has won 14 of 20 when off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. The Stars also won 8 of 12 this season when playing with home loss revenge and they are a bargain at this small price on the road. *10* DALLAS |

04-23-16 | Predators +130 v. Ducks | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line +130 @ Anaheim @ 6:05 ET - The road teams continued their dominance in the post-season last night as ALL FOUR road teams won. This series has been leading the way in road dominance as the away team has taken all four games. With the series tied at 2 and with the Ducks now back on home ice, many will be looking to back Anaheim. However, I see no reason for this trend to stop. The pressure is truly now back on the Ducks. They know that if they lose this game they will be just a game away from elimination and heading back to Nashville for Game 6. That puts a lot of pressure on a team because, in Anaheim's mind, they are at home and they are expected to win and must win to retain the home ice edge in this series. As for the Predators, they come into this game with a chip on their shoulders after what happened in Nashville, but they also come in very confident and ready to put that frustration to positive energy because they won the first two games at the Honda Center to take a 2-0 lead in this series. The Preds know they can win here and they are confident they will get back on track. It's not like the Ducks totally dominated the Predators in Nashville. Despite the final scores looking a little ugly note that it was Nashville who actually outshot the Ducks by a dozen shots combined in the two games. The Preds have now outshot Anaheim in three of the four games and I look for a big game from Pekka Rinne between the pipes. The Preds have won 10 of his last 14 road starts! For Anaheim, though Frederik Anderson has played well since the Ducks made the goalie switch, this will be his first home start since March 18th. The pressure is intense in a situation like this for the netminder. The Predators are 34-24 (+$9,200) the past three seasons when they are off of a game where they were held to one goal or less. They respond in a huge way here. *10* NASHVILLE Money Line +130 |

04-22-16 | Islanders +145 v. Panthers | Top | 2-1 | Win | 145 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play NY Islanders Money Line +150 @ Florida @ 8:05 ET Friday - Home teams continue to be overvalued in these playoffs. The road teams have won more games than home teams in this post-season so far. That trend continued last night and it was a night where all four teams should have won. The only road team to lose was the Red Wings and they actually outplayed the Lightning before losing on a goal with just 2 minutes to go in that game. The point is that road teams continue to provide value and I believe this game will prove to be another example of that tonight. The Islanders lost on home ice to Florida on Wednesday. The Isles managed just 1 goal in that game. This season, the Islanders have won 15 of 21 games when they are off of a game where they were held to one goal or less! The Isles will again be in 'bounce back" mode here and, so far in this series, neither team has managed to string together back to back wins! The Panthers have lost 65 of 107 games against teams with a winning record the past three seasons. Florida also has a long-term mark of 6-14 in first round playoff games. The pressure is on the Panthers here honestly. If Florida loses they then must travel to Brooklyn for a game that could end their season. This is a lot of pressure for a Panthers club that hasn't enjoyed much post-season success. The Islanders know they "let up" some in Game 4 after getting the home ice edge with their Game 3 win. The Isles just didn't seem to have the same energy and emotion in Game 4 that they had in prior games in this series. Remember that they won Game 1 here in Florida plus outshot the Panthers in Game 2 by a 42-31 count. Coming off of a loss in Game, the Isles will be fired up and play another strong game on the road. Tremendous line value for the road dog here. *10* NY Islanders Money line Friday |

04-21-16 | Ducks -105 v. Predators | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Anaheim Ducks Money Line -105 @ Nashville @ 8:05 ET - The Ducks were heavily favored in this series but then dropped the first two games on home ice and suddenly things were looking grim. Both of those defeats on home ice were tight games though and Anaheim certainly turned the tide in this series with a big 3-0 shutout win in Game 3. The Ducks can now regain home ice edge with another big road win tonight and I love the value of having them at a pick'em price since they are on the road rather than having to lay a big price at home (which I rarely ever will do). That said, there is great line value here and consider that home ice often is overvalued. So far in these playoffs the road team has won more of the games than has the home team. This series is a prime example of the value that can often be had with road teams as the road club has won all 3 games in this series. I look for that streak to reach 4-0 in this series tonight. Anaheim has won 12 of their last 19 games against teams with a winning record. The Preds have lost 14 of their last 24 games against teams with a winning record. The Ducks have won 52 of 81 the past three seasons when they are off of a win by a multiple goal margin. The Predators have lost 28 of 48 first round playoff games while the Ducks have won 9 of 13 first round playoff games and this is even with dropping the first two games of the series. Look for the Ducks to continue to frustrate the Predators tonight as they tightened up the defense in Game 3 and I look for that to continue here. Head coach Bruce Boudreau has his team's full attention right now after what happened in Anaheim and the Ducks will build on the momentum that is a direct result of the dominating Game 3 win. *10* ANAHEIM |

04-20-16 | Kings v. Sharks -115 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Money Line -115 vs Los Angeles Kings @ 10:35 ET - After taking a 2-0 series lead in Los Angeles, though this sounds strange, San Jose scoring 30 seconds into Game 3 on Monday was, quite simply, too soon! It seemed to 'set off' the Kings and Los Angeles was able to tie up the game and ended up outshooting the Sharks 13 to 7. What I liked about what the Sharks did from that point on though is that they truly outplayed the Kings even though they ended up losing in overtime. San Jose outshot Los Angeles by a 23 to 11 count the rest of the way. That's an incredible ratio of about 2 to 1 which is a huge edge in shots. Keep in mind that this was in a tie game. It is not like those statistics were skewed by the Kings holding a lead and simply trying to protect it. When you couple this key factor with the fact that the Sharks already won both games in LA in this series, you can see why I am looking for San Jose to respond in a big way on home ice tonight. If the Sharks blow this game they give the home ice edge right back to LA and I just don't see that happening. San Jose is such a speedy and attacking team that I look for them to again use that to their advantage in this game. The Kings won't intimidate them with physicality. We've already seen that this will not be the case in this series. Los Angeles is 12-15 (-10.1 units) in April games the past three seasons combined. The Sharks have won 28 of 41 when playing with revenge this season and also have won 13 of their last 17 games against teams with a winning record. Great, low odds to back the home team in a revenge spot here. I'll take it! *10* SAN JOSE |

04-19-16 | Penguins -111 v. Rangers | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Pittsburgh Penguins Money Line -111 @ New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - The Penguins are off of a rare loss. Yes they lost their regular season finale against the Flyers but that was a game they truly did not care about. Prior to that game the Penguins had won 8 games in a row. Then, after destroying the Rangers 5-2 in game one, the Pens fell short in game two and I look for a big response here. Pittsburgh is 13-5 this season when off of a loss by a margin of two goals or more. The Penguins had won four straight against New York (by a combined score of 17 to 8) before the game two loss to the Rangers. Now, because the series shifts from Pittsburgh to New York we get line value with the road team seeking revenge. I look for the Penguins to bounce right back here. They outshot the Rangers in game three and they had two power play goals while holding the Rangers without one in their three chances with the man advantage. The Pens have been strong on the kill this season while the Rangers have been one of the league's worst on the penalty kill. That should be a difference maker as this series goes on and prior to that "meaningless" loss at Philly at the end of the season the Penguins had won eight straight road games! The Rangers have split their last 14 home games. Pens have been given great line value here on the road. I know their goaltending situation is uncertain but the skaters are going to be the difference makers in this game. The Penguins are fired up off of a loss and they have too much firepower for the Rangers. *10* PITTSBURGH |

04-18-16 | Capitals v. Flyers +123 | Top | 6-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +123 vs Washington @ 7:05 ET - Shorter write-ups today due to bad storms here in Texas. The Flyers outshot the Capitals by a big margin (42-23) in Game Two so the final score (an ugly 4-1 defeat) is certainly deceiving. I look for another huge effort from the Flyers tonight as this is their last chance to crawl back into this series. The loss of Sean Couturier for the series (hurt on Alex Ovechkin hit in Game One) certainly hurts the Flyers. However, they proved in Game Two that they certainly are not going to lay down in this series. They know they can tie the series up on home ice by winning each of the next two games. But that must start with a victory tonight. The Flyers have won 4 of their last 5 home games and that included a win over Washington just a few weeks ago. Philly is 14-9 when off of a game where they were held to one goal or less and the Flyers offer great line value as a home dog in this spot tonight. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

04-17-16 | Lightning v. Red Wings -120 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Detroit Red Wings -120 vs Tampa Bay @ 7:05 ET - Although it was by the slimmest of margins, Detroit did outshoot the Lightning in both games down in Tampa. Of course all that matters is who wins or loses but the point is that the Red Wings have played better than their 2-0 series deficit is telling the betting markets. That said, there is fantastic line value here with the Wings as a very small home favorite. It is going to be tough for the Lightning to go into Joe Louis Arena and go up 3-0 in this series. That is asking a lot. The 5-2 final score is deceiving as the Red Wings were tied with the Lightning in the third period Friday. Note also that Detroit was tied at 2 with Tampa Bay in the third period of game one on Wednesday as well. The point is that the Red Wings have been "right there" in each of the first two games and yet they have nothing to show for it. I expect all that to change today. The Lightning have a couple of wingers injured and J.T. Brown is out for sure and he is one of those guys that is more important than his stats would lead you to believe. Remember that TB was already lacking some key personnel with Steven Stamkos and Anton Stralman out. The Lightning have gotten 7 of 8 goals from their top line so far in this series. That is not necessarily a good thing because you can bet the Red Wings will be making some adjustments and are fully focused on shutting those guys down in this game. Detroit will force Tampa to try and beat them with more balanced scoring. The Lightning will have to prove they can do that and I don't see that happening in this ultra-important game three. Fully focused, motivated, and intense Detroit club should get back into the series with a big win Sunday. The Lightning lost 16 of 29 games this season when off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more. The Red Wings won 13 of 23 games this season when off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. That situation intensifies huge too with this being a playoff game. *10* DETROITÂ |

04-16-16 | Sharks +130 v. Kings | Top | 2-1 | Win | 130 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Money Line +130 @ Los Angeles @ 10:35 ET - The Kings lost the opener of this series and now the natural reaction would be to back Los Angeles to bounce back. However, there are a few very good reasons not to do that. The Sharks have been fantastic on the road all season. True road warriors. The Kings are likely to be without key defensemen Alec Martinez. The underdog price on San Jose. Add it all up and the value is with San Jose AGAIN here in Game Two just like it was in Game One. The road team has won 5 of the 6 meetings between these teams (5 regular season and 1 postseason) dating back to the beginning of this season. In road games where the posted total on their game is 5 goals, the Sharks have won 19 of 24 this season! San Jose also has won 12 of their last 15 games against teams with a winning record. The Kings did get a power play goal in the series opener but that was just their 4th power play goal in their last 17 games. Contrast that with the Sharks who have 15 power play goals in their last 16 games. All the pressure is on the Kings here as they know they can't afford to lose both games on home ice to open up this series. Unlike Los Angeles, San Jose comes into this game loose and simply looking to "steal" another road win. The way the Sharks are playing they are fully capable of winning yet again on the road. They have great skill and quickness which they can use to frustrate the Kings who will again try to slow them down but again will likely be unsuccessful. The Sharks come into this game having won 8 of their last 9 road games! *10* SAN JOSE |

04-15-16 | Predators +155 v. Ducks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 155 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line +155 @ Anaheim @ 10:35 ET - When this line opened up it opened at a -145. It has since been driven up to as high as a -170 and this huge line move has simply been pushed too far. It is offering such extreme line value to a talented Predators team that I am elevating this play to my top rating. Of course both clubs come into this game well-rested and the Predators have won 12 of 19 games the past three seasons when they enter a game off of three or more days of rest. The Ducks lost 3 of 5 (and were a -2.4 in units) in their games this season that were played after three or more days of rest. Nashville won two of the three games between these teams this season and the Predators outshot the Ducks 42-28 in the one game they lost which was played here in Anaheim. The Ducks only won 12 of goalie John Gibson's 22 home starts so is this situation really worthy of a -170 price on the Ducks. In my opinion it is absolutely not and Anaheim split their last 18 games of the season with 9 wins and 9 losses and that's even with winning the final two games. Predators goalie Pekka Rinne is fully capable of not only stealing a game but also stealing a series. This is especially true since the Preds added the offensive punch of Ryan Johansen and are solid on the blue line with Shea Weber and Roman Josi. *10* NASHVILLE +155 |

04-15-16 | Blackhawks +105 v. Blues | Top | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 12 h 33 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Chicago Blackhawks Money Line +105 @ St Louis @ 8:05 ET - In Game One, even without Duncan Keith, the Blackhawks started strong and finished strong. Chicago outshot the Blues 11-4 in the first period and by a combined count of 15-4 in the third period and overtime. That is a 26-8 edge in shots in those critical periods of the game. The Blues still managed to win the game 1-0 as Brian Elliott had a huge game between the pipes. However, St Louis will now be facing a more determined and also strengthened lineup on Friday night. The Blackhawks will have Keith back and he has fresh legs after serving the final game of a 6-game suspension when he sat out game one of this series. He can't wait to get back on the ice and help his teammates and I don't see the Hawks going down 2 games to none in this series. They played stifling defense in game one, they are even in better shape now with the return of Keith for game two, and Chicago is 8-2 the last 3 seasons when trailing in a playoff series. Also, the Hawks lost their final two games of the regular season so they are on a 3-game losing streak. Note that Chicago has won 3 of 4 this season (and 11 of 15 the last three seasons) when they enter a game on a losing streak of 3 games or more. The Blues had lost 8 of their last 12 first round playoff games before winning game one by the slimmest of margins despite being outplayed. Look for the Blues first round problems to resume Friday. *10* CHICAGO +105 |

04-14-16 | Sharks +125 v. Kings | Top | 4-3 | Win | 125 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks +125 @ Los Angeles @ 10:35 ET - As long-time followers know I like to look for underdog value in the money line sports. This is another classic case as the Sharks are a fantastic team but, because of the reputation of the Kings they are getting sold a little short here. San Jose won 18 of 23 road games this season that had a posted total of 5 goals. What that tells you of course is that the Sharks are absolutely capable of winning road games that are projected to be tight, low-scoring games. Yes, the Kings are a big, physical team that is built well for playoff success. However, lets not forget that the Sharks skate extremely well, are very skilled up front, and they can cause some match-up issues for the opposition. The Sharks come into the post-season having won 11 of their last 14 meetings with teams with a winning record. By contrast, Los Angeles only took 10 of 18 games against teams with a winning record. I know LA has had tremendous success in recent seasons and I know the Sharks are known for playoff frustration but this series could end up quite different than many expect as so many prognosticators are already saying the Kings are the team to win it all this year. The Sharks won the most recent meeting between these teams in late March and that game was in San Jose. Prior to that the road team won each of the first four meetings this season. That said, there is tremendous line value here with a determined road dog and divisional rival that is absolutely sick of hearing about the LA Kings all the time. You can bet on that. The Sharks have won 22 of Martin Jones' 32 road starts this season! The Kings have won only 15 of Jonathan Quick's 26 divisional starts this season. The Kings are simply over-valued here and the Sharks will prove to be the hungrier team. *10* SAN JOSE |

04-13-16 | Blackhawks v. Blues -115 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* St Louis Blues -115 vs Chicago @ 9:35 ET - The opening line on this game was way too small in my opinion. Already as I put this write-up together the Blues are attracting some attention and their price has moved upward from -115 to -130 and even higher and I would not be surprised to see it climb as the day goes on. Yes the Blackhawks are the defending Stanley Cup champions but the absence of defenseman Duncan Keith for Chicago in Game One (as he serves the final game of a 6-game suspension) is a key one. The Blackhawks rely heavily on Keith and he will be sorely missed Wednesday. The Hawks also rely heavily on goalie Corey Crawford and he missed nearly a month of time very late in the season and that is bad news for the netminder. He only returned in time for the season finale and it's evident he has lost his rhythm between the pipes as he was not sharp at all against the Blue Jackets. Now he faces an even taller order today as he takes on a Blues team that is back to full strength. Yes, just in time for the playoffs, St Louis does have "all hands on deck" and this is going to present even more of a challenge here in Game One for Chicago. The Blackhawks have lost 18 of 33 games since mid-January so their problems have not just been a short-term problem. I am not saying they won't turn things around during this series but what I am saying is that with a "rusty" Crawford and a blueline without Keith, I do expect the Blues to take care of business on home ice in game one. The Blues seek revenge for a first round playoff exit at the hands of Chicago two years ago. *10* ST LOUIS |

04-10-16 | Ducks -105 v. Capitals | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Anaheim Ducks Money Line -105 @ Washington @ 7:30 ET - For those of you that like day of the week trends the Ducks have won 9 of 11 Sunday games this season and an incredible 34 of 44 Sunday games the past three seasons! The key here for Anaheim is motivation as they can win the Pacific Division title (and become the #2 seed in the Western Conference) by knocking off the Capitals Sunday. Rest assured the Ducks want to overtake their hated division rival, the Kings, and take the division from them after Los Angeles squandered their chance to lock it up by losing to the Avalanche. It's not just an Anaheim versus LA "thing" it is also the better playoff positioning that is key here. Look for Anaheim to give it their all on Sunday while the Capitals (long ago having clinched the top spot in the NHL playoffs) are simply wanting to rest up for the post-season and not get anyone hurt as the Caps prepare to host the upstart Flyers in the first round of the NHL post-season. Washington is likely to rest Holtby for this game and start Grubauer. This is significant because he's 0-3 with an ugly .864 save percentage in his last 4 games (3 starts). Grubauer will prove to be no match for a Ducks team that has allowed an average of just 2 goals per game in their last 8 games! This game means nothing to Washington and it means a lot to the Ducks. We get a very favorable price since Anaheim is on the road. Beautiful situation and I won't hesitate to step in and take advantage by going with my highest rating on this play. *10* ANAHEIM |

04-09-16 | Penguins v. Flyers -122 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -122 vs Pittsburgh @ 3:05 ET - Though this is a bitter in-state divisional rivalry, the Penguins may rest some players today. Simply put, there is no reason not to. Pittsburgh is in good shape in terms of the post-season picture and the last thing they would want to see happen is for a key player to get hurt in a game that just doesn't carry enough meaning for them. That said, the low line on this game is offering fantastic line value to the Flyers. Philadelphia must get points if it wants to make the post-season and the Flyers still control their own destiny. It's very simply for Philly as they don't have to rely on anyone else's help as long as they just win their games. Win both games and the Flyers are in. Tomorrow they face the Islanders but today it's all about taking care of business and getting revenge against the Penguins. Coming into this season the Flyers had the Penguins number in recent seasons. That all changed this season as the Pens have swept all games with Philly so far this season. Not that the Flyers needed any extra motivation but they truly do hate their in-state rivals and had won 8 of 9 meetings with the Pens before losing all 3 so far this season. The Flyers had won 3 of the last 4 home meetings with the Penguins before an ugly loss on home ice last month. In road games with a posted total of 5.5 goals Pittsburgh has lost 7 of 12 this season. In home games with a posted total of 5.5 goals the Flyers have won 8 of 11 this season! Based on Philadelphia's 3-game losing streak and the Penguins recent run of having won 14 of their last 15 games, this certainly would look like a "mismatch" at first glance. The key here is that Pittsburgh truly wants to be careful here with their key players while Philly must go "all out" as they desperately need the two points. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play New York Islanders +126 @ New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - Huge battle for playoff position and the Islanders, though they trail the Rangers in the standings, still have a game in hand. They also know that the Rangers have a tough game on deck with Detroit (who could still be battling for their playoff lives) while the Isles have lowly Buffalo on deck. With all that said, this game is huge in the playoff race and the Islanders have already proven to be a huge challenge for the Rangers this season. The Isles have won all 3 games between the clubs and the victories have come by a combined score of 11 to 6. The Islanders come into this game having won 5 of their last 6 games overall and the red hot run could lead to a 4-0 series sweep here. The Rangers are off back to back wins but they had lost three straight games prior to that and two of those defeats were at the hands of non-playoff teams. Though both teams have injuries the Rangers truly have some key ones and that could be a difference maker here. The Islanders have won 5 of the last 6 meetings that the Rangers have hosted so home ice has not been an edge in recent series history. The Rangers have lost 10 of 16 this season when playing with home loss revenge. That said, there is solid line value here with the road dog as certainly there is not much of a road trip for the Isles in this one! *10* NY ISLANDERS |

04-06-16 | Flyers +109 v. Red Wings | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 8 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +110 @ Detroit @ 8:05 ET - The Red Wings are off of back to back wins but they've managed to win three straight games just TWO times since mid-January! Detroit also has lost 3 of their last 5 games against playoff teams. The three losses, including one at Philly on March 15th, have come by a combined score of 17 to 7. The loss to the Flyers by a 4-3 final wasn't as close as the score would lead you to believe either. Philadelphia had 46 shots on goal in that game and they led by two goals most of the game. The Flyers come into this game off of a disappointing effort at Pittsburgh. They've had two full off days to recover since the loss and note that Philadelphia hasn't lost two straight games since mid-February! Also, since the calendar turned the page to 2016 the Flyers have been among the top teams in the league. The loss to the Pens was just the 6th Flyers loss by a multiple goal margin since January 1st. What happened after the first five losses by 2 or more goals in 2016? The Flyers won the next game ALL FIVE times! PERFECT 5-0 for Philly this YEAR! By the way, the combined score of those games was 24-7. Utter and complete domination for the Flyers when they are off of an ugly loss. They will respond here as they are in a battle to secure a playoff spot and still have the edge over the Bruins and Red Wings based on still having 4 games left on the season (including tonight's game). The Flyers, before the loss to the Pens, had won 23 of 37 games against teams with a winning record this season. The Red Wings are also well-rested here but is it too much rest? The Flyers have been off since Sunday but Detroit has been off since Saturday and the Wings have lost 5 of 7 games this season when they enter a game with 3 or more days of rest! The Flyers have won 6 of their last 8 meetings with the Red Wings and they have been the much better team in recent weeks. Look for that to continue here. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks +107 @ Minnesota @ 8:05 ET - The Wild continue to crumble under the pressure of trying to secure their playoff spot. Minnesota is squeezing the sticks a little too tight and now has lost three straight games. The Sharks have been one of the top road teams in the NHL this season and they are an incredible 17-5 in road games with a posted total of 5 goals or less this season. They also have the goaltending edge in this match-up. James Reimer is expected to get the start and he's saved 92% of the shots he's faced as San Jose has won three of his last four starts. The Wild are expected to go with Devan Dubnyk between the pipes and he's saved only 89% of the shots he's faced as Minnesota has lost three of his last four starts. While the Wild are motivated but also under pressure, the Sharks are motivated but without the pressure. San Jose has already secured a playoff spot but certainly is looking to improve their playoff positioning and coach Peter DeBoer was even discussing their desire to finish with the best road record in the league. The Sharks are currently 27-10-3 away from home this season and this is San Jose's final road game of the season. They will make it count as they push for better positioning in the standings while the Wild continue to falter under "playoff pressure" as another Avalanche loss is going to be the likely way that Minny secures their post-season spot. *10* SAN JOSE |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Tampa Bay Lightning +100 @ NY Islanders @ 7:05 ET - I am well aware of the fact that Lightning leading scorer Steven Stamkos is out. However, that is part of what is driving the line value on this play as the money line certainly has been adjusted for his absence. That said, we're still talking about an extremely deep and talented Tampa Bay team that still needs another victory to clinch a playoff spot. Additionally, we're talking about a New York Islanders team that has won some games recently but only against non-playoff teams! They take a major step up in class today to face a tough Lightning team and the Isles are 0-6 in their last 6 games against playoff-level teams. The worst part of it, if your an Islanders fan, is that they have lost these games by a combined score of 25-8. That means the average score for the Islanders in their last 6 games against playoff-level competition was 4-1. NOT GOOD! Now the Isles will try to slow down a Lightning freight train that has won 5 of their last 7 games and that averaged 4 goals per game in the 5 wins. Tampa Bay has won 27 of their 40 games since the mid-way point of the season and the Lightning, when off of a stretch where their past 3 games were at home, have won 28 of 44 the last 3 seasons combined. In other words, after the nice homestand, look for the Lightning to be fully focused on the task at hand here on the road. As for the Islanders, they have lost 15 of 24 when they enter a game having played each of their three prior games at home. The goalie match-up today should be Bishop versus Greiss and the Lighting netminder has saved 94% of shots his last 4 games while Greiss has only saved 89%. *10* TAMPA BAY |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Winnipeg Jets Money Line +135 vs Minnesota @ 8:05 ET - Hockey is huge in Manitoba. Certainly the Winnipeg faithful are disappointed about missing out on the post-season but that does not mean the Jets won't give a huge effort in their home finale for the season. I expect a massive effort from the hometown team in this one as it's the final game for Winnipeg on home ice this season. The game does carry some extra meaning since they can help prevent their neighbors to the south from having a shot at clinching a post-season berth tonight. The Jets, on their home ice, certainly don't want to allow that to happen for a divisional foe. Winnipeg can put some extra stress on Minnesota by getting the win tonight. Winnipeg will give a huge effort undoubtedly and, even though the Jets have suffered some losses recently it certainly hasn't been for lack of effort. Winnipeg's last 5 losses have all come by a single goal. The Jets had a couple of home wins sprinkled in their and those two victories came by a combined score of 6 to 1. The Wild are feeling the pressure of the race for a playoff spot as they've lost back to back games entering this contest. The Jets are likely to put additional pressure on Minnesota as Winnipeg has taken 6 of the last 8 meetings between the teams. Excellent line value here with the hungry home dog definitely showing "no quit" in this match-up. A huge divisional home finale for the Jets so they will leave it all on the ice for sure! Every ounce of energy and effort. *10* WINNIPEG |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes Money Line +122 vs New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - The Hurricanes are now relegated to playing the role of spoiler and the last thing they want to see is the Rangers clinch a playoff spot in Carolina. Why does this mean so much to the Canes? Former captain Eric Staal is returning to Carolina for the first time since the trade with the Rangers. The Hurricanes can make a statement tonight and they have earned at least a point in 4 straight games. Carolina has been a bit of a "hard luck loser" this season as their 16 post-regulation losses leads the NHL and, of course, leading that category is not what you want. But the hard work and playing teams tough has paid off recently with Carolina notching a few wins recently and playing with the kind of resolve you don't always see from a team that already knows the golf course looms rather than playoff hockey. There will be no shortage of motivation tonight as the Hurricanes have struggled in recent seasons, including this one, against the Rangers. That said, keeping the Rangers (including the Canes former captain) from clinching a playoff spot tonight makes this a bit of a "game of the year" for the Hurricanes in this late season match-up. In road games with posted total of 5 goals, the Rangers have lost 20 of 31 games this season! This is expected to be a tight, low-scoring battle away from home for the Rangers and, as you can see from that stat, they have not fared well in these types of games this season. The Rangers have been off since Sunday but the extra rest hasn't helped them as they've lost 5 of 7 this season when they enter a game with 3 or more days of rest. The Canes did allow a power play goal in their shootout loss to the Islanders but they entered that game having NOT allowed a power play goal in 13 of their 14 prior games. Conversely, the Rangers have allowed 18 power play goals in their last 27 games so basically 2 pp goals every 3 games. Look for the hungry and disciplined (few penalties and excellent penalty killing) Hurricanes to score the upset here. *10* CAROLINA |

03-30-16 | Capitals v. Flyers +108 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 108 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +110 vs Washington @ 8:05 ET - Look for a playoff type atmosphere in this game. However, I feel it is the Flyers that have the edge for two reasons. One of course is home ice and the other is that Philadelphia absolutely still needs to win while the Capitals have already locked up the Presidents Cup trophy for most points in the league for this season. Certainly Washington is not going to "lay down" here as they know this is also a potential first round playoff match-up. However, it is virtually impossible - given the situation - for the Capitals to match the intensity the Flyers will have here. Philly needs to keep piling up points to make sure they lock up a post-season spot. The Flyers have been one of the hottest teams in the league for quite some time now as Philadelphia has won 11 of their last 16 games including 7 of their last 9 home games. Washington has lost 3 of their last 5 road games and the Caps, overall, had been held to 2 goals or less in 8 of their last 11 games before exploding for 4 goals in their win over Columbus Monday. Conversely, the Flyers have scored 3 goals or more in 12 of their last 16 games! Philadelphia has won 22 of 36 games against teams with a winning record this season and they've been playing their best hockey of late. That said, there is great home dog value in this spot as you can get the Flyers at plus money on home ice in a revenge spot. Philly lost to Washington in early February but the Flyers had won the prior meeting at Washington. Also, prior to a home loss to the Capitals in November, Philly had won 4 of the last 5 meetings on home ice. They resume that series dominance on home ice Wednesday. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers -125 @ Arizona @ 10:05 ET - The Flyers continue their big push for a playoff spot and they should enjoy success here at Arizona. They catch the Coyotes off of rare back to back wins. Prior to these two victories Arizona had lost 21 of their past 30 games. The Coyotes have lost 23 of 30 home games with a posted total of 5 goals the past 3 seasons. Arizona also has lost 43 of 62 non-conference games the past three seasons. The Flyers crushed the Coyotes 4-2 last month in Philly but, even though Arizona will be looking for revenge, the Coyotes have lost 57 of their last 80 games when playing with revenge. The Flyers have won 16 of 26 this season when on the road in a game with a posted total of 5 goals or less. They are playing their best hockey of the season right now and have outshot the opposition in 14 of their last 18 games. By comparison, Arizona has been outshot in 5 of their last 6 games. The Flyers have earned at least a point in 9 of their last 10 games. The lineup is healthier than it's been in quite some time for Philly and they know it's key to wrap up this road trip properly tonight before heading home for a nice 3-game homestand this coming week. These team is playing like a playoff team and will take advantage of facing an Arizona team that is going for its' 3rd straight win but that has only managed a winning streak of 3 games or more TWICE in the past FOUR months! *10* PHILADELPHIA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -104 @ Colorado @ 9:05 ET - The Flyers blew a late 2-goal lead at Columbus on Tuesday and ended up losing in the shootout period. Philadelphia still got an all important point in the standings but they Flyers are fired up as they know they let a golden opportunity slip away. Philly should have earned the full two points in the game and they are fired up to respond properly at Colorado on Thursday. The Flyers are a stellar 9-2-2 in their last 13 games as they continue their March toward notching a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs. While the Avalanche have also been a "team on a mission" the Avs certainly have been hurt by bad news on the injury front in recent days. That is going to make it tough for short-handed Colorado team to hold off a "bound and determined" Flyers team that has won 15 of 25 road games this season with a posted total of 5 goals or less. Also, Philly has won 21 of 35 games this season against teams with a winning record. The Avalanche are well rested here as they have been off since Sunday's win at Edmonton. However, the first game back after a lengthy road trip to Canada is often the toughest. The Avs also have lost 14 of 24 games the past three seasons when they enter a game off of 3 or more days of rest. Look for Colorado to struggle getting back into proper form on home ice. The absence of key personnel Matt Duchene and Nathan McKinnon, the two leading scorers for Colorado, really hurts the Avalanche Thursday. The Flyers have revenge for a 4-0 home loss to the Avs in November and they avenge that loss tonight. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Boston Bruins Money Line +122 @ NY Rangers @ 8:05 ET - Bruins #1 goalie Tuukka Rask is unlikely to play tonight due to illness. However, that means Jonas Gustavsson is expected to be between the pipes and he's compiled a .927 save percentage away from home this season. Boston is 8-3 in his road starts this season! The Bruins come into this game very hungry as they've lost three straight games and they've had three full off days to think about it. As a result, there is no doubt Boston will come out strong tonight as they can't wait to get back on track after an ugly road swing to the west that saw them drop all three games. Of course tonight's game is still a road game for the B's but they are certainly happy to be back on the east coast. Boston is a perfect 4-0 this season when they enter a game on a 3-game losing streak. The Rangers enter this game off of a big win over Florida but, prior to the victory, the Rangers had lost 6 of their 9 prior games. New York has lost 18 of 31 games against teams with a winning record this season. Of course they are favored tonight because they are on home ice but the Rangers are hosting a Bruins team that is off of a loss in the most recent meeting here but had won 6 of their last 7 overall meetings with the Rangers. Also, the Bruins are 23-10-3 on the road this season! Only one team, Washington (with 9), has fewer road losses in regulation this season. Look Boston to improve to 5-0 this season when they enter a game on a 3-game losing streak. Look for the Bruins to get back to being road warriors after the disappointing west coast road trip. *10* BOSTON |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Buffalo Sabres +140 @ Carolina @ 7:05 ET - Quick...name the three Eastern Conference teams that currently have more road wins that home wins on the season...got it? Boston, New Jersey...and Buffalo! The Sabres? Yes, Buffalo is one of the few "road warriors" in the NHL in that they actually have notched more victories away from home than on home ice. With that said, there is too much line value here to pass up on this opportunity. Buffalo has played 35 road games this season and Carolina has played 35 home games so far this season. The Hurricanes have won 17 home games and the Sabres have won 15 road games on the season. With that said, there is great line value here with underdog Buffalo. Not only have the Sabres won 3 straight meetings between these clubs, the Canes are hanging their heads right now as they've seen their post-season chances slip away thanks to an unsightly stretch that has seen Carolina lose four straight games and 8 of their last 11. The Sabres lack of a shot at the post-season was truly decided long ago so there is no "drop off" in emotional intensity for Buffalo here. In fact, they are likely to get a boost with the return of Jack Eichel tonight. Even though goalie Robin Lehner is likely to miss tonight's game that is actually good news as Chad Johnson has a phenomenal .933 save percentage in his last 4 games (3 starts). Also, Johnson has been in goal for Buffalo in both of their games with the Hurricanes this season and both were victories! Though the Canes are playing this game with revenge, Carolina has lost 27 of 43 this season when playing with revenge. Also, the Hurricanes are back home after a five game road trip and Carolina has lost 20 of 29 the last three seasons when they enter a game having played each of their three prior games away from home. With the Canes struggling mentally after seeing the road trip kill their post-season chances, they simply do merit being in this price range and I'll grab the big dog value with a Sabres team still playing hard and looking to respond after a rare, ugly game at Toronto on Saturday. *10* BUFFALO |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +120 @ NY Islanders @ 7:35 ET - The Flyers are looking up in the standings at the Islanders right now and both of these teams are coming off of a loss in their most recent game. The difference is that the Islanders have now lost 5 of their last 6 games while, for the Flyers, losses have truly been few and far between for many weeks now. In fact, Philadelphia hasn't had back to back losses since mid-Feb. Over the past 5 weeks since then the Flyers had won 10 of their last 14 games before their embarrassing home loss to the Penguins on Saturday. Fired up by that defeat, I look for the Flyers to respond in a big way on Monday against the Islanders. The Isles have been outshot in 8 of their last 10 games. They haven't been slim margins either as the Islanders have been outshot by 60 in those 8 games combined. The Flyers were badly outplayed by the Pens Saturday but Philly had previously outshot their opponent in 12 of their last 14 games! The Flyers average edge in shots on goal in those 12 games was 8 shots per game. A significant edge just like the Islanders have been allowing most of their opponents a significant edge too. In other words, it's evident which team has been playing harder and outworking the opposition and I have no doubt about the effort the Flyers are going to bring tonight as they flight for their playoff lives! They want in to the post-season and have been proving that with the way they've been playing - the Saturday game notwithstanding. The Flyers have won 12 of 19 this season when they are off of a game where they were held to 1 goal or less. Even though the Islanders are playing with revenge here they have been a losing proposition in this situation this season costing their backers 6.5 units (i.e. dime players down $6,500). The Flyers have won 5 of Mason's last 7 starts. The Islanders have lost 4 of Greiss' last 5 starts. *10* PHILADELPHIA |

03-17-16 | Red Wings v. Blue Jackets +111 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Columbus Blue Jackets +110 vs Detroit @ 7:05 ET - The Red Wings have lost 5 of their last 7 games. The Blue Jackets have won 3 of the last 4 meetings with Detroit and have held the Red Wings to an average of just 1.5 goals per game in the 4 games. With Sergei Bobrovsky back between the pipes for Columbus (and now having a few games under his belt since his return), I look for a huge game from the home team in this one. Columbus is off of an embarrassing home shutout against the Lightning but the Jackets had won 4 of their 5 home games prior to the defeat. Also, Columbus has had a full 3 days off to gather energy and emotion from the loss as they now prepare to take on one of their biggest rivals. Yes, with Columbus proximity to Detroit these match-ups have always meant a lot to the Blue Jackets and you can bet that John Tortorella will have his guys ready to go in this one. The Jackets have won 22 of 35 (+$12,500) in the month of March the past three seasons combined. The Red Wings late season fade continues as they have lost 23 of 37 (-$16,500) in the month of March the past three seasons combined. Detroit has just 2 wins in their last 11 road games. The Niklas Kronwall injury is not helping matters for the Red Wings. Blue Jackets coach Tortorella mixed his lines up some in practice and I expect to see a huge effort at home here as Columbus responds off of a shutout loss. *10* COLUMBUS |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Minnesota Wild -120 @ Ottawa @ 7:35 ET - The Wild are off of a win at Montreal and now have won 6 of their last 8 road games. Minnesota certainly has been playing much better hockey since the coaching change but the interesting factor has been they've been better away from home. That said, excellent line value is being offered here with Minny as a small favorite since they are on the road at Ottawa tonight. Had this game been a home game for Minnesota the price on the Wild would have been much higher of course. The Senators are in a perfect spot to fade as the Sens are off of a shutout win over the Maple Leafs. Ottawa caught Toronto at the perfect time as the Leafs and coach Babcock were looking ahead to their showdown with his former team, Detroit, on Sunday. The Sens took advantage and got the big win but now look for the Senators losing ways to resume as they face a team fighting for a playoff spot. Ottawa, prior to the win over the Leafs, had lost 5 of its last 6 games. Also, the Senators #1 netminder (Craig Anderson) has won just 4 of his 13 career decisions against the Wild. The Sens other option is Andrew Hammond but Ottawa has won just 1 of the 7 starts he's made on home ice this season. The Wild have a big edge in net tonight as Devan Dubnyk has won 3 of his last 4 starts with only 7 goals allowed on 101 shots! The Sens have lost 11 of 18 this season when they are off of a game they won by a margin of 2 goals or more. Ottawa has also lost 47 of 76 games the last three seasons when they are off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more. The Wild have won 6 of 9 this season when playing with two days of rest. Minny also has won 21 of 35 March games the past three seasons. It's crunch time again and the Wild again get the job done. *10* MINNESOTA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Los Angeles Kings Money Line +110 @ Chicago @ 8:05 ET - Both teams are off of a loss and both clubs certainly know this is a very important game as the push for positioning for the playoffs continues. The difference maker here is that, even though both the Kings and Hawks are off of a loss, the Blackhawks have truly been struggling whereas Los Angeles had been red hot. Prior to their 2-1 home loss to New Jersey, the Kings had won 7 of their last 9 games. Conversely, Chicago's 5-2 loss at Dallas was the Blackhawks 5th loss in their last 8 games! That said, there is solid line value here with LA available at plus money. While the Blackhawks have only split their 26 games against teams with a winning record this season, the Kings have won 15 of 24. Also, Los Angeles has won 10 of 13 this season (and 27 of 43 the last 3 seasons) when they enter a game having played each of their 3 prior games at home. The home stand, even though it finished up with a loss, certainly did some good for the Kings as their only "road" game in the past 3 weeks was at neighboring Anaheim! Los Angeles now views this road trip as critical and they should jump start things with a big win against a Blackhawks team that simply hasn't been right for weeks now. Chicago has allowed a power play goal in 12 of their last 15 games. By comparison, the Kings have held 5 of their last 8 opponents without a power play goal. Overall, LA has held 8 of their last 11 opponents to 2 goals or less. Conversely, the Blackhawks have allowed at least 3 goals in 8 of their last 12 games! *10* LOS ANGELESÂ |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Florida Panthers Money Line +120 @ NY Islanders @ 7:05 ET - The Panthers are in a big battle for the top spot in the Atlantic Division and can move into first place with a win Monday against the Islanders. The Isles may start #3 goalie Jean-Francois Berube since this is the first game of a back to back. Overall, the goalie position for the Islanders has been weakened due to Jaroslav Halak's groin injury. The Panthers should have the edge between the pipes tonight Roberto Luongo in goal. Florida has won 6 of their last 8 meetings with the Islanders and this has included 3 of the last 4 in New York with the last two visits resulting in a pair of dominating wins by a combined score of 9-3. While the Isles come into this game having scored just 6 goals in their last 3 games, the Panthers come into this one having averaged 5 goals per game in their last 3 games! Even though the Islanders are playing this game with home loss revenge they have lost 12 of 19 games in this situation this season. The Isles also have a huge game on deck with Pittsburgh and that's why they are expected to save goalie Thomas Greiss for that game. The Panthers have won 13 of 20 games this season when they are off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more. There is great line value here with the potential Atlantic Division leader available at plus money. *10* FLORIDA |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +145 @ Florida @ 7:05 ET - The Flyers are simply flying under the radar right now even though they are one of the hottest teams in the league. They are playing very well on both ends of the ice and they're not just winning games, they are dominating. Philadelphia has won 6 of their last 7 and in their last 11 wins dating back to early February, the Flyers have won by a multiple goal margin in 9 of the 11 victories. In fact the combined score of the Flyers last 11 wins is 51 to 23. This works out to an incredible average score of nearly 5 to 2 in the Flyers last 11 victories. Even though this is a back to back situation for Philadelphia, they had 3 full off days prior to yesterday's win at Tampa and they have 2 full off days coming up after tonight's game at Florida. In other words, the Flyers will "leave it all out on the ice" Saturday as they continue to give tremendous effort and outwork their opponents on a night in and night out basis. The Flyers continue to be undervalued on the road as they have won 13 of 22 road games with a posted total of 5 goals or less this season. Also, Philly has won 19 of 31 games this season against teams with a winning record. While the Flyers have been red hot, Florida has been slumping. The Panthers have lost 5 of their last 7 games and this is not just a short-term issue for Florida either. Ever since their epic 12 game winning streak ended in mid-January, the Panthers have been mediocre at best. Florida has lost 14 of 25 games since that streak. By contrast, mid-January is when the Flyers turned things up a notch and they haven't looked back since then. Even though back-up Michal Neuvirth is likely to get this start since it's a back to back, he shutout the Panthers the last time he faced them. Also, the Flyers have won 3 of his last 4 starts and he's been phenomenal on the road this season with a .922 save percentage. Florida is expected to start Roberto Luongo between the pipes and he has struggled with an .892 save percentage in his last 4 starts. Maybe it's the night life in south Florida that has played into the follow stat but the fact is that the Panthers have lost 66% of their Saturday games the past three seasons combined with an ugly 33 wins in 50 Saturday contests. Florida's only recent wins have come against struggling teams like Winnipeg (twice), Arizona, and Ottawa. Against true playoff-caliber teams the Panthers have not fared well. That said, there is fantastic line value in this situation here with the big road dog that has been playing top hockey for weeks now! *10* PHILADELPHIAÂ |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Chicago Blackhawks +105 @ St Louis @ 8:05 ET - The Blackhawks are expected to have Marian Hossa back in the lineup tonight. That means their top line will be "set" and that means one should expect some problems for the Blues in terms of stopping the hungry Hawks. This is a key battle in the divisional race and the Blackhawks are off of a huge win over an Eastern Conference foe as they annihilated the Red Wings 4-1 on Sunday. Note that Chicago has won 23 of 28 games this season when they are off of a non-conference game. Though the Blues have won 3 straight games they all come against teams that are unlikely to make the post-season. Two of those opponents for sure should miss the post-season and the other one is a question mark in terms of making the play-offs. Prior to these 3 games is when St Louis was tested by playoff-caliber opposition in three straight games. The result? The Blues lost all 3 games. The scary thing if you're a St Louis fan is not just that the Blues lost, it is also the fact that the defeats came by a combined score of 13-4 even though 2 of the 3 games were on home ice! The fact is that the Blues have been "out of sync" against quality opposition while the Blackhawks have recent wins over quality opposition like Detroit (twice) and the two top teams in East - Washington and the Rangers! The Blues have lost 6 of 9 games this season when they enter a game on a winning streak of 3 games or more. The Blackhawks have won 7 of 10 games this season when playing with two days of rest. The extra rest and the return of Hossa makes the Hawks a great play at a nice value on the road Wednesday night. *10* CHICAGO |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Dallas Stars Money Line -125 @ Montreal @ 7:35 ET - The Stars are back on track with back to back wins. However, there undoubtedly will be no "let up" here at Montreal. Dallas caught an earful from their coach after the 2-1 win at Ottawa on Sunday. In terms of puck movement, they were told it was arguably the worst game he had seen since he took over in Dallas. Look for the Stars to play a much better game with crisp passing and great puck handling. Dallas will take advantage of a Canadiens club that has lost four straight games and has been held to just two goals in each of the four defeats. The Habs have not fared well against the west this season. Montreal got hammered by Dallas (6-2) in December and that is one of 19 losses in 24 non-conference games this season for the Habs. The Canadiens have been plagued by injuries and, even though the absence of John Klingberg for the Stars does hurt Dallas tonight, the Canadiens overall cluster of injuries is a much more significant issue. Montreal has lost 7 of their last 9 games against teams with a winning record and the Habs have lost 14 of 19 this season when off of a loss by a margin of two goals or more. In other words, even when off of a bad loss, the Canadiens still do not respond well. The Stars have won 21 of 33 (and 8 of their last 12) games against teams with a losing record. The Habs started so well this season but now have 36 losses in their 66 games this season. The long slump continues here against a Stars team that has been implored by their head coach to play a complete game tonight! *10* DALLAS |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Money Line +105 @ St Louis @ 8:05 ET - The Blues certainly are a solid team and deserve credit for their 5 game winning streak. However, St Louis is now hosting a Sharks club that is the top road team in the Western Conference. San Jose has won 20 road games already this season. The Blues, as strong as they have been at home this season, have already lost 13 home games this season. Facing the toughest road team in the West could add another blemish to that record for St Louis. The Sharks got some revenge for a pair of January 2015 defeats by winning earlier this month at St Louis. However, San Jose still hasn't forgotten about the two defeats (each by an identical, ugly 7-2 score) that they suffered at the hands of St Louis a year ago. Rest assured, there is "no love lost" between these two teams and I look for the Sharks to again get another road victory at St Louis just like they did earlier this month. San Jose is fired up because, after 3 straight wins they suffered a road loss at Carolina by an ugly 5-2 count on Friday. They've had all weekend to get even more "worked up" about that loss and, as a result, they'll take the ice with plenty of "jump" in their skates tonight! San Jose has won 6 of their last 7 games against teams with a winning record this season. Also, the Sharks have won 13 of 18 road games that the odds makers have set with a posted total of 5 goals or less this season. Even though the Blues are playing this game with home loss revenge, that situation has seen them win just 17 of 40 the past 3 seasons combined. St Louis enters with a 5-game winning streak, as noted above, and they have not won 6 straight games this entire season. As for the Sharks off of a 5-2 loss, San Jose hasn't lost back to back games since the Sharks first two games of 2016. The odds definitely favor a Sharks win tonight. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Minnesota Wild Money Line -110 @ Calgary @ 10:05 ET - The Flames are ravaged by injuries right now. Not the least of which is their goalie Karri Ramo. This has forced Jonas Hiller back into action for Calgary and, since the Ramo injury, the Flames have lost two straight games by a combined score of 10-5. Overall, Calgary has lost 7 of its past 11 home games as home ice has been nothing for special for them of late. Hiller has an ugly .879 save percentage in his home starts and the Flames have lost four of his last six starts overall. With injuries hurting Calgary the play here is clearly on the healthy, hungry, rejuvenated Wild. Yes it has only been a single victory since the coaching change but Minnesota did look solid in their win at Vancouver Monday. The Wild have outshot each of their past five opponents and the hard work is going to start paying off. The key is getting that first win after the coaching change and you can tell there is simply a different feel in the Minnesota locker room now. The Wild have an advantage of 182 to 132 in shots the past five games...a big edge of 10 per game in shots on goal. Dubnyk is rejuvenated as well after the 5-2 win over the Canucks and the Wild have won 5 of the 6 match-ups with the Flames the past two seasons. This is their first of this season and the Wild will take advantage of a Calgary team that is reeling and has allowed 18 goals in their past 4 games. The Flames have lost 11 of 17 this season when off of a divisional game. Look for the Wild to improve to 2-0 under interim head coach John Torchetti tonight. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +155 @ New York Rangers @ 7:35 ET - The Flyers lost another tight one yesterday as they lost in overtime to the Devils. The Rangers are also off of an OT loss (5-4) to the Kings on Friday. This is a huge rivalry game and a big divisional match-up Sunday evening and the road team has won each of the last three meetings between these teams. The Flyers won 3-0 in their last visit to face the Rangers and I look for another huge effort tonight after the frustrating loss yesterday. Home ice just hasn't meant a lot in the meetings between these clubs this season and, that said, there is great line value with Philadelphia in this price range. The Flyers are 10-6 this season in road games with a posted total of 5 goals. Philadelphia is also 9-6 this season when they are off of a game where they were held to one goal or less. The Flyers are 16-11 this season in their games against teams with a winning record. Philadelphia has lost two straight to the Rangers but both were very close losses and, prior to this, the Flyers had won three straight against the Rangers by a combined score of 10-4. The Rangers have a losing record in Sunday games this season and they also have lost 8 of their past 10 games this season when they are off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more. After their 5-4 loss to the Kings Friday, look for the Rangers to fall again to the revenge-minded Flyers Sunday as the road team makes it 4 straight wins in this fierce rivalry. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line +120 @ Florida @ 7:05 ET - The Predators are fired up after a tight loss at Tampa Bay last night where they allowed the tying goal very late and then lost after regulation. The Preds will respond tonight by taking advantage of a floundering Panthers team. Florida made headlines this season with a huge mid-season run and certainly the Panthers have a solid overall record on the season. However, Florida has lost 3 of their past 4 games and both goalies struggled in last night's game. The Panthers have allowed 18 goals in their past 5 games and I look for a huge game from Predators goalie Carter Hutton tonight. He's a perfect 3-0 in non-conference action this season and certainly is well rested here. Conversely, the Panthers had to use both goalies in last night's game and both struggled. I don't see that getting any better here as Florida hosts a Predators team that has scored 15 goals in their past 4 games. Nashville also has revenge from a 2-1 home loss to Florida in early December. The Preds were already "ticked off" before last night's game and now they are even angrier after last night's frustrating result. Look for that to lead to a huge effort from Nashville tonight as the Panthers drop to 23-39 when off of a loss by a margin of two goals or more. After losing 5-3 last night, Florida struggles again tonight against the hungry Predators. *10* Nashville. |

02-11-16 | Ducks v. Blue Jackets +122 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 122 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Columbus Blue Jackets Money Line +122 vs Anaheim @ 7:05 ET - The Blackhawks have a lot to do with this play tonight. Why? Because that is who knocked the Ducks out of the playoffs last spring in the Western Conference finals. That said, this is a huge lookahead spot for Anaheim as they have a trip to Chicago on deck after tonight's game at Columbus. The Blue Jackets have been getting stellar goaltending from Joonas Korpisalo but they suffered a tight loss (in the shootout) at home against the Islanders on Tuesday. That ensures the proper focus here for a Columbus team that had won 4 of 5 before the tight loss to the Isles. Although the Ducks have been hot, the lookahead situation here is something that can not be ignored and, prior to their big win at Philly, Anaheim was trounced 6-2 in a loss at Pittsburgh. The Ducks have faced Chicago twice so far this season and they lost the game preceding it each time and neither game as pretty as Anaheim was defeated 3-0 in one and 4-2 in the other. I look for the Blue Jackets to add to what has been a home-dominated series in recent meetings. Columbus won 5-3 when they hosted the Ducks last season and overall the home team has taken each of the last three meetings by a combined score of 13 to 6. Couple the home dominance with the situational edges and you have the makings of a big Blue Jackets win here at an attractive underdog price! |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Columbus Blue Jackets Money Line +130 @ Vancouver @ 10 ET - The Blue Jackets have many big edges in this match-up. First off, they have played since the All Star break while Vancouver is likely to be rusty having not played since January 26th! This 8-day layoff is going to hurt the Canucks while, conversely, Columbus comes into this game off of a 5-1 loss at Edmonton Tuesday While that effort certainly looks ugly it also ensures that the Jackets come into this game fully focused on getting back on track and certainly Columbus is helped by having played on Tuesday while Vancouver is hurt by not having played a game in over a week. Another key factor with this play is that Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella is visiting his former team for the first time since he coached the Canucks in Vancouver. With how fiery Torts is there is no doubt he's instilled into his players how hard they better go for him tonight. He wants this game badly and you will see a huge effort from Columbus as a result. The road team has taken each of the last 3 meetings between these clubs and they have all been blowouts as the combined scores of the 3 games is 16-5 in favor of the road teams! Look for another road rout tonight as the situation for one is absolutely perfect. The Canucks have won just two of their seven home games with a posted total of 5.5 goals this season. Vancouver has 20 wins in their 50 games this season. Columbus, when facing a team with a losing record in the second half of a season, has won 31 of their last 47 games. I look for the Blue Jackets to continue this strong trend tonight in Vancouver in an ideal situation for a *10* Top Play on Columbus. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Calgary Flames Money Line -102 vs Nashville @ 9:35 ET - The Predators are 0-6 this season when playing on back to back days. The Preds snuck out a tough, hard-fought 2-1 win at Vancouver last night and Nashville now is in a very tough situation. The Predators have impressed on this road trip to Western Canada but they now play back to back nights and will have their back-up goalie between the pipes. Carter Hutton is expected to get the start tonight and don't put too much weight into the fact that he had a shutout in his last start. His long-term numbers tell the real story and tonight Hutton and the Preds are facing a very hungry Flames team that will be pressuring the goalie early and often. Calgary is not happy at all about the fact that they finished with just one win on their five game road trip. The Flames now want to make the most of this opportunity on home ice in front of the All Star Break. Calgary has won 13 of their last 17 games on home ice! That impressive streak for the Flames stretches all the way back to early November so it is certainly no fluke. Calgary already beat the Predators in Nashville last month and if you're concerned about the revenge angle here, note that the Preds are only 3-6 this season when playing with home loss revenge. In fact the Flames have won 4 straight meetings with the Predators and the scheduling situation tonight is perfect for the long-term series dominance to continue for Calgary in this one. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +100 vs Boston @ 7 ET - Look for a huge effort from the Flyers on home ice tonight. They had a game get cancelled because of the snowstorm effecting the northeast this past weekend and Philadelphia has been chomping at the bit to get back on the ice ever since they blew a two goal second period lead in their game at Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Flyers have won both meetings with the Bruins so far this season and, after back to back losses leading into this game, Philadelphia will be ready to take their record against Boston to 3-0 so far this season. The Flyers had won 5 of their past 6 games before tight losses in each of their past two games. Their coach really laid into them about their poor 5-on-5 play in the loss to the Penguins and I expect the Flyers to respond well to the criticism in tonight's game. Unlike the fired up Flyers, the Bruins are happy to be coming off of a win in their most recent game and that could have them a little back on their heels tonight as they come off of the 3-2 win over Columbus Saturday. The Flyers have won 15 of 23 games against teams with a winning record so far this season. That said, there is great line value with Philly as a home dog Monday. Boston is playing with revenge but that situation has seen the Bruins LOSE 15 of 24 this season. *10* Top Play PHILADELPHIA money line |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Calgary Flames +116 @ Carolina @ 6:05 ET Sunday - Even though the Flames are on the road for this one, Calgary has the scheduling edge over Carolina. The Hurricanes will be playing their third game in four nights while the Flames have had two full off days since their 4-2 win at Columbus on Thursday. Calgary is seeking revenge for a 4-1 loss at Carolina in their most recent meeting and the Flames did pummel the Canes by a 5-0 count in their meeting prior to that Calgary loss. Although that game game was at Calgary, the Flames did also win in their prior visit to Carolina before the 4-1 loss last season. Calgary is 8-5 this season when they are off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more and, right now, their opponent has been struggling to score goals. The Hurricanes have lost three of their past four games and have scored a TOTAL of just 4 goals in these 4 games. The Canes are off of a 4-1 home loss to the Rangers Friday but don't look for the bounce back. The Hurricanes are have lost 40 of their past 64 games when they are off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. Also, Carolina has lost 48 of their last 76 non-conference games. Great line value with the road dog here. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play St Louis Blues +107 @ Detroit @ 8:05 ET - While both teams have some injury issues right now I feel the situation is a little more impacting for the Red Wings right now as Detroit is without Niklas Kronwall due to a knee injury. Detroit and St Louis squared off three times in calendar year 2015 and the Red Wings won each game. That included an overtime match-up in St Louis in November so the Blues are playing this game with home loss revenge after that tight defeat. In fact, all 3 of the aforementioned games have been tight losses and, as you would expect, the Blues are chomping at the bit to get some measure of revenge here. St Louis comes into this match-up having won 4 of their last 5 games and the Blues have averaged 4 goals per game in the 4 victories. Conversely, the Red Wings have been struggling to find the back of the net and Detroit is averaging under 2 goals per game in their last six games and they've lost 2 of their last 3 games. Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek has been playing well lately but he does have a losing record in home starts so far this season. The Blues Brian Elliott has been playing very well of late and has a solid winning record in road starts this season. St Louis enters this road contest coming off of a 4-game homestand and the Blues are 5-2 this season when they enter a game having played each of their three prior games on home ice. Also, St Louis is 13-4 the past three seasons combined when they enter a game on a streak of 3 or more consecutive overs. With the Blues offense clicking right now, and the Red Wings struggling to score, the underdog on the road is a nice value in this one. Detroit has been off two days since their home loss to the Flyers on Sunday but rest can sometimes lead to rust and the Red Wings have won just 17 of 39 games the past three seasons when they enter a game after two or more days of rest. The Blues are positioned well to get their revenge tonight. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Boston Bruins Money Line +104 @ Montreal @ 7:35 ET - Big revenge game for the Bruins as they lost the outdoor game on 'home ice' to the Canadiens on New Year's Day. The Habs, other than that win, have truly been struggling for a long period of time. Conversely, the Bruins have got back on track since the embarrassing 5-1 loss to Montreal. With that said, I am grabbing the great line value that is afforded here since the Bruins are on the road for this one. For Montreal, home ice has been nothing of special of late. They continue to struggle as they have certainly missed the consistent presence of having a Carey Price between the pipes. The Canadiens have lost an incredible 16 of their last 20 games. It's an incredible futility rate ever since their hot start the first two months of the season. The Bruins are going the other direction of late as Boston has at least earned a split of their past 6 games by winning the last two. The Bruins hard work is starting to pay off as they have earned victories in each of their last two games and they have outshot their opponents in four of their past six games and that includes outshooting the opposition by a double digit margin in three of those four contests. The Canadiens are off of a 5-2 loss at Chicago and a bounce back is unlikely here. Not only are the facing the revenge-minded Bruins here, the Habs just haven't been able to get back on track. They are 3-7 this season when off of a loss by a multiple goal margin and I look for their slump to continue Tuesday. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -105 vs Boston @ 8:05 ET - I am well aware of the fact Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is out with a knee injury and that Philadelphia has been a better team with him on the ice this season. However, there is still tremendous line value with the Flyers on home ice here. For one thing, there is certainly no shortage of motivation as the Flyers are currently behind the Bruins in the Eastern Conference standings and Philly knows this game is an important one as it certainly is not too early to start worrying about securing a playoff spot. Secondly, the other key to this play is simply that it is a case of hot versus not. The Flyers have won three straight games overall and they have been especially strong on home ice for many weeks now. Philadelphia is 7-1-1 in their last 9 home games and they will bring another huge effort tonight for their rabid fans! The Bruins have been heading the other direction of late as Boston has lost 7 of their last 9 games. Also, the B's have been held to just a single goal in three of their last four road games. Overall, scoring has not been coming easy for Boston as they have been held to two goals or less in 7 of their last 10 games. Don't look for things to 'magically' turn around for the Bruins as they gone 1-4 this season when they are off of a game where they were held to one goal or less. Also, even though Boston is playing this game with revenge from a home loss earlier this season, the Bruins have lost 14 of 20 games this season when looking to avenge a defeat! The Flyers have won 13 of 20 games this season against teams with a winning record. Also, Philadelphia is a solid 38-26 in home games with a posted total of 5.5 goals the past three seasons. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Vancouver Canucks Money Line +100 vs Florida @ 10:05 ET - Unfortunately I have lost twice now trying to fade the Panthers now that their streak has reached beyond 10 games. However, my plays really weren't bad. Florida actually got outshot 32 to 16 at Ottawa and then 25 to 14 at Edmonton. Yes, that's right, the Panthers amazingly beat the Oilers last night despite registering just 14 shots on goal! Now, in a back to back spot and facing a very hungry Canucks team that is rested, I see Florida's 12-game winning streak coming to a grinding halt. Even with yesterday's win, the Panthers are still just 28-43 in non-conference games the past three seasons and Florida now has a back to back situation to deal with as well. The Canucks are off of a 3-2 home loss to Tampa Bay and this is part of a fantastic scheduling stretch for Vancouver where they have just 2 games in a span of 7 days (from the 7th to the 13th). Beginning on the 14th the Canucks go on a lengthy road trip. That means this home match-up with Florida is ultra-important for Vancouver and certainly the Canucks are excited about this opportunity to end the Panthers 12-game run plus to get the win over former goalie Roberto Luongo who spent 8 years here in Vancouver earlier in his career. Huge scheduling edge here for the Canucks and they take advantage of a Panthers team that is starting to wear down and has been outshot by a 169 to 106 margin in their past five games! That's an average of 34 to 21 and, needless to say, it's amazing the Panthers have still been winning. The run ends tonight. Â |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Edmonton Oilers Money Line +120 vs Florida @ 9:35 ET - The Panthers have been on an incredible winning streak but this is the front end of a tough back to back situation in Western Canada. With the Panthers facing the Oilers in Edmonton tonight and then the Canucks in Vancouver tomorrow night, it was announced that #1 goalie Roberto Luongo would get the start Monday. That means Sunday's starter, already announced as Al Montoya, is certainly not on par with Luongo. I'll give Montoya credit as he's played extremely well with the Panthers this season. However, I got to see plenty of this guy in his four years in San Antonio (with the Rampage in the AHL) and, again, he's nowhere close to being a Luongo. Last season his GAA with the Panthers was a 3.01 goals against average. This is his FIRST ROAD START since the streak got going - earlier he started on the road after the Panthers had what turned out to be win #1 of this streak - and this is a lot of pressure for Montoya. He doesn't want to be the guy to let the team down and see their streak end and you know he's going to be pressured hard by the Oilers. Edmonton's overall record is not that impressive but they've been playing very well on home ice. The Oilers are off of a loss versus Tampa Bay but Edmonton had previously won 9 of their last 11 on home ice. The Oil want this game badly as they want to be the ones to end the Panthers streak. Florida is just 27-43 in their last 70 games against Western Conference opponents and this trip to Western Canada is traditionally a tough one for teams from the southeastern US. Everyone is gunning to end Florida's streak and the set-up here is perfect for Edmonton to do just that. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +100 vs New York Islanders @ 1:05 ET - The Islanders come into this game off of an ugly 4-1 loss versus Washington. That was the 6th loss for the Isles in their last 10 games. The Islanders have been held to 2 goals or less in 7 of their last 10 games and I look for the Isles to struggle to keep up with a Flyers team that has been playing very well at home. In fact, other than struggling on a recent 3-game West Coast road trip (always seems tough for Philly to play well out there), the Flyers have been playing very well. They come into this game off of back to back wins versus Montreal and at Minnesota. Philadelphia's home win over Montreal brings the Flyers run on home ice to 4 straight and 6 wins in their last 8 home games. In fact, the Flyers most recent home loss was to the Islanders on December 8th, a 4-3 loss. That means a little payback is on order for Philly here. This is especially true since they have lost both match-ups with this division rival so far this season. Interestingly the Islanders have an aversion to playing on Saturdays as they have lost 36 of their last 56 Saturday games! The Flyers have lost both of their games against the Islanders this season but, against the rest of the league. Philly has won 12 of 17 games against teams with a losing record this season! They get the job done on home ice in this early game Saturday to make it 5 in a row on home ice! |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Ottawa Senators Money Line -105 vs Florida @ 7:35 ET - Streaks are meant to be broken and the red hot Panthers are in a "pick'em price range' here for a reason. Florida has won 10 straight games but everyone in the hockey world knows that and yet they are only a pick'em here. Why would that be? Well streaks are indeed meant to be broken and Ottawa has been a rock solid team on home ice for many weeks now and you can bet that the Senators (just like everyone else in the league right now when facing the Panthers) will be going hard in hopes of taking Florida down. The Sens overall unimpressive record of late has a lot to do with plenty of road games. On home ice this Ottawa team had won 7 of their 8 prior games before the loss to the Devils by a 3-0 shutout on December 30th. The Senators have since played two road games and they are anxious to get back to work on home ice tonight and start their next winning streak at home by ending the current run of the streaking Panthers. Florida uncharacteristically (even during this current winning streak) exploded for 5 goals in their win at Buffalo Tuesday. The Panthers are 16-29 the last three seasons combined when off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more. Florida also is 16-28 the past three seasons combined when on the road in a game with a posted total of 5.5 goals. The Senators are 9-5 this season in home games with a posted total of 5.5 goals and the Sens are 9-4 when they enter a game on a streak of 3 or more consecutive unders. Fresh legs for Ottawa here and they are on a long-term 155-110 run when they enter a game with two or more days of rest! Fresh legs, high motivation, and home ice = big Sens win! |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play New Jersey Devils Money Line +130 @ Montreal @ 7:05 ET - Other than a 5-1 win outdoors against Boston on New Year's Day, the Habs are struggling badly. They have allowed 32 goals in their last 9 games not played outside! That's an average of 3.56 goals per game and they simply, especially in a back to back spot, are not going to be able to match the tough defensive-minded hockey that the Devils have been playing. New Jersey has allowed a total of just 5 goals in their last four games. As you would expect with such solid efforts in their own zone, the Devils have been winning with having won 3 straight before the 1-0 home loss to Detroit on Monday. That loss sets the Devils up nicely for a bounce back here, especially since the Canadiens were in action on the road last night - a 4-3 loss at Philly. The Devils are 10-6 this season in games against teams with a winning record. New Jersey is also a solid 9-5 this season when off of a game where they were held to one goal or less. The Canadiens are just 2-4 this season when off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. The Habs have lost 12 of their last 15 games and a tough back to back spot with travel involved as well is not a good spot for Montreal to suddenly turn things around. Great line value with the Devils here. Grab the solid plus money underdog for a Top Play. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -115 vs Montreal @ 7:35 ET - Montreal started off the season on fire but they've been slumping for quite some time now and the absence of goalie Carey Price (knee injury) continues to cause problems. The Canadiens have lost 11 of their last 14 games. They are expected to have Ben Scrivens between the pipes. In his NHL career he's had a goals against average up near a full 3.00 and he already allowed 3 goals in his first start with the Habs. The Flyers are fired up about this game tonight. While the Canadiens come into this one happy about the 5-1 shellacking they put on the Bruins at Gillette Stadium on New Year's Day in the outdoor game in the Boston area, the Flyers come into this game steaming mad. Philadelphia had a very tough west coast road trip and they are fired up about being back on home ice and getting back on track in a building where they have won three straight games and five of their last seven. The Flyers have won 10 of 17 games against teams with a winning record so far this season. While you may think the extra rest is a big benefit for Montreal here they are 0-3 this season when they enter a game with three days or more of rest. Sometimes rest turns to "rust" for a team and the Habs certainly have been an example of that this season. Additionally, them coming off of such a big, satisfying win and the Flyers all fired up from recent losing means that the situation favors Philly in a big way. Play Philadelphia on the money line as a *10* Top Play. |

The Flames were eliminated from the playoffs last spring in a 4-1 series loss to Anaheim. The Ducks also then defeated Calgary in Anaheim in late November. This is the first shot on home ice that the Flames have had against the Ducks since getting knocked out of the post-season by them in May. Look for Calgary to make the most of it. The Ducks are off of a 4-2 win over Philadelphia on Sunday but they had lost 4 of 5 coming into that match-up with the Flyers and that game was tied in the 3rd period. The Flames are off of a 5-3 win over Edmonton on Sunday and that was their 9th win in their last 11 games. That's right, Calgary has won 9 of their 11 games in the month of December. Also, in home games with a posted total of 5.5 goals this season, the Flames have gone 10-4. When off of a game where they scored 4 goals or more, Calgary is 6-3 this season. The Flames generally take care of business against weaker foes too as they have a 48-36 mark in their last 84 games against teams with a losing record. The Ducks are 0-3 this season in road games with a posted total of 5.5 goals. Also, Anaheim is 2-5 this season when off of a win by a margin of two goals or more. The losing quickly resumes for the struggling Ducks Tuesday. |

12-21-15 | Stars v. Wild -117 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Minnesota Wild Money Line -117 vs Dallas @ 8:05 PM ET - Minnesota still hates Dallas for taking the North Stars away from them to become just the Stars many years ago. Needless to say it's added some intensity (especially from Minnesota's side) when these teams meet. The Wild have lost both games to Dallas so far this season but both defeats came in overtime and one was a rare loss on home ice for the Wild. I use the word 'rare' because the Wild had previously beaten Dallas four straight times in their match-ups in Minnesota. That said, a little revenge is on order here for Monday night and the Wild are fired up after losing the two November games to the Stars. Minnesota is coming off of a loss at Nashville but they previously had won 6 of their 8 prior games. The Stars are off of a big win over Montreal but had lost two of their three prior games and scored just 1 goal in one defeat and were shutout in the other. Dallas enters this contest having lost 39 of their last 63 games in divisional action. The Wild are 8-3 this season when playing a game with home loss revenge. No matter who starts in goal for Minnesota tonight they have been getting solid goal-tending from each of their net-minders and I look for that to continue tonight while the hungry Wild give a huge effort and take down the Stars. Play Minnesota on the money line as a *10* Top Play selection Monday. |

12-19-15 | Flyers +100 v. Blue Jackets | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +100 @ Columbus @ 7:05 ET - Even though Columbus is off of a win, the Blue Jackets had previously lost eight of their last nine games. The fact that #1 goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is out with a groin injury is a significant concern for a Columbus team that has been struggling badly this season. Columbus has allowed 5 goals in each of their last two games. Both goalies on the roster right now, Joonas Korpisalo and Curtis McElhinney, have struggled with save percentages under 90%. Conversely, the Flyers are gettting fantastic goaltending from both Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth. Philadelphia comes into this game having won 7 of their last 10 games and they've allowed just 2.3 goals per game during this 10 game run. The Blue Jackets have given up 4.2 goals per game in their last five games. The Flyers and former Columbus goalie Mason have had struggles in games against the Blue Jackets but these are two teams now heading in opposite directions and the Flyers have also been getting much stronger play between the pipes in comparison with the Jackets. This is a classic case of HOT versus NOT and the HOT is available at a fantastic line value and playing with revenge from a 4-1 home loss to Columbus two weeks ago. Play Philadelphia on the money line as a *10* Top Play Saturday. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -133 vs Vancouver @ 7:05 ET - Vancouver has lost the first two games of their five game road trip by a combined score of 10 to 2. The Canucks also have a date at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on deck for tomorrow night. Vancouver has now lost 7 of their last 9 and tonight they're visiting a Philadelphia team that has won 6 of their last 9 games. The Flyers have played well in earning points in most all of their games since mid-November. Philadelphia is stressing the importance here of winning back to back home games as that is not something they've done often this season. The Canucks may be starting back-up netminder Jacob Markstrom tonight and he's won just 1 of 4 starts against the Eastern Conference this season. The Flyers will be fine whether it's their #1 guy Steve Mason, or the back-up Michal Neuvirth as the back-up is actually leading the NHL in save percentage. The Flyers are seeking revenge here for losses to the Canucks in recent meetings. That includes their first meeting in Vancouver this season which was in early November when the Flyers weren't playing nearly as well as they are currently. Look for the Canucks to drop to 2-8 on the season in road games with posted total of 5 goals or less. Play Philadelphia on the money line as a *10* Top Play Thursday. |

12-15-15 | Hurricanes v. Flyers -109 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -110 vs Carolina @ 7:05 ET - This line has moved downward throughout the day and is offering exceptional line value. The Flyers are off of a loss at St Louis but that was a tough back to back that followed their big win over the Stars in Dallas. The Flyers, before the loss to the Blues, had earned at least a point in 6 of their last 7 games. The Hurricanes have lost 6 of their seven divisional games this season. Carolina is off of a 5-4 win at Arizona but have gone 4-9 this season when off of a non-conference game. Also, the Hurricanes are 5-13 this season when revenging a loss versus an opponent. Philadelphia already beat Carolina 3-2 in each of their first two match-ups this season. In road games with a posted total of 5 goals or less, the Hurricanes have lost 38 of their last 49 games. The Canes have been scoring very well recently and that is what has driven this line move. However, Carolina does not have a good history against the Flyers and the Canes also have been allowing a ton of goals. The Canes have given up at least 4 goals in 6 of their last 8 games. |

12-09-15 | Bruins +125 v. Canadiens | Top | 3-1 | Win | 125 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Boston Bruins Money Line +125 @ Montreal @ 7:35 ET - The Bruins are off of a 3-2 home loss to Nashville but, prior to that, Boston had scored at least 3 goals in 8 of their last 9 games. This is in stark contrast to a Canadiens team that has scored only 2 goals per game in 5 straight games. Simply put, Montreal is having trouble finding the back of the net right now and the Habs are hosting a highly motivated Bruins team tonight. Boston just hasn't been able to get past Montreal in recent meetings but the B's did play a very strong game in their most recent match-up with the Habs. Even though they fell short on the scoreboard, that strong effort against the Canadiens on November 7th was a confidence-builder for the Bruins in terms of how they currently match up with Montreal. Although the Habs Mike Condon has played well between the pipes, he certainly is no Carey Price and Montreal's #1 netminder is now dealing with a knee injury. Look for the Bruins to be the better skating team tonight. Not only are they the hungrier team here, Boston also catches Montreal off of a long layoff as the Habs have not played since Saturday. The Bruins are 6-3 this season (and 21-10 the last 3 seasons) in road games with a posted total of 5.5 goals. I see great line value with the B's at the underdog price against their long-time hated rival. Play Boston on the money line as a *10* Top Play Wednesday. |

12-07-15 | Predators +130 v. Bruins | Top | 3-2 | Win | 130 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line +130 @ Boston @ 7:05 ET - The Predators are catching Boston at the perfect time to spring the upset. The Bruins just got back from a road trip to Western Canada. Oftentimes the first game back east after a road trip out west is the toughest. Also, the Bruins haven't exactly been dominant on home ice this season. Boston has played well on the road this season but has won just 5 of their 12 home games. Nashville is coming off of back to back losses after knocking off the Coyotes 5-2 to open up the month of December. In this 3-game stretch the Predators have outshot their opponents by a 106-67 margin and I expect the Preds to start to reap the benefits of this solid play. Look for Nashville to also get a bounce back performance from Pekka Rinne who is off of a rare poor game in his last start. The last time Rinne was in goal against the Bruins it was a 3-2 Nashville win last December. Boston, based on the scheduling situation (big game at Montreal on deck too), is vulnerable tonight and the hungry Predators have been playing quite well but coming up short on the scoreboard. It sets up well for a big Nashville road win tonight. |

12-04-15 | Sharks +110 v. Ducks | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Money Line +110 @ Anaheim @ 10:05 ET - The Sharks have outshot the Ducks by a combined margin of 75 to 44 in their two games this season and yet the season series is split because Anaheim stole one on the road in San Jose back in early November. Needless to say the Sharks have been completely outlaying the Ducks this season and San Jose is hungry and seeking revenge Friday night. Anaheim is off of a 2-1 home loss to Tampa Bay on Wednesday and has now lost five of their last seven home games. The Ducks simply have struggled to score goals this season and they're hosting a Sharks team that is an incredible 10-3 on the road and averaging 3.2 goals per game on enemy ice! By comparison, Anaheim is averaging just 2 goals per game on the season! The Ducks have won just 3 off 11 games against teams with a winning record so far this season. The Sharks are on a 10-2 run in Friday games and they are 8-1 this season in road games with a posted total of 5 goals or less. Play San Jose on the money line as a *10* Top Play selection Friday. |

11-30-15 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs -113 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Toronto Maple Leafs Money Line -113 vs Edmonton @ 7:35 ET - With the Maple Leafs starting a rookie goalie tonight we are getting a very favorable line. Garret Sparks will get the start and he's gone 8-2-1 with a 1.90 goals against average and a .938 save percentage with the Toronto Marlies so far this AHL season. A lot of time an entire team steps up their effort when they know they are supporting a rookie goalie between the pipes in his first ever NHL start. The Leafs have outshot their opponents in recent games and played quite well. They just can't quite get over the hump for a W and so they are very hungry for a win tonight and coach Mike Babcock is demanding a huge effort which I fully expect to see on the ice tonight. The Leafs have lost three straight but they previously had won 5 of their last 6 games and appeared to have turned the corner on their season. With a big home win tonight the Maple Leafs know they get right back on track. They catch the Oilers at a good time as Edmonton is off of a rare road win at Pittsburgh. The Oilers previously had lost 8 of their last 10 games so I see a lot of line value here with the hungry Maple Leafs offered a very small home price. Toronto is 4-2 this season against teams with a losing record and 5-2 this season against Western Conference foes. The Oilers are 1-8 this season when they are off of a non-conference game! Also, Edmonton could get caught looking ahead to being back home as this is their final game of a five game road trip and thy are 12-24 when they enter a game having played each of their three prior games on the road. From a situational perspective, this is a great spot to be backing the Leafs. Play Toronto on the money line as a *10* Top Play Monday. |

11-06-15 | Red Wings v. Maple Leafs +111 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Toronto Maple Leafs Money Line +110 vs Detroit @ 7:05 ET - This looks like a great spot for a Maple Leafs win. Toronto is starting to play better of late as it seems coach Mike Babcock finally has the attention of his players and is getting them to play better within his systems. Don't be fooled by the 4-2 final score of the Leafs loss to Winnipeg. That game was 2-2 with just a few minutes left in the game. Also, prior to that defeat, the Maple Leafs had knocked off Dallas. I like what I have seen from the Leafs in the month of November with the way they played against the Jets and Stars. Now they get a shot at revenge for an embarrassing 4-0 loss at Joe Louis Arena early this season. Coach Babcock did not yet have a handle on his team at that very early point in the season. Also, winning at The Joe in Detroit is never easy. Now, in the revenge match-up, the Leafs are at home and they are playing much better and they're hosting a Red Wings team that is dealing with quite a few injuries of late. Although Detroit is off of back to back wins they previously had lost 6 of their last 7. Of course the Maple Leafs do have an ugly record on the season - there is no hiding that - but I look at this as a statement game for Coach Babcock going against his former team and getting revenge for that early season loss. Make no mistake about it, this game is a huge one for Toronto and it is the type of game where a signature victory can turn a season around. The Red Wings are rested but are actually 13-18 when playing with two days of rest. The Maple Leafs are 100-77 in home games with a posted total of 5 goals or less and there is good value with the Leafs as an underdog in this spot. Play Toronto on the money line as a *10* Top Play Friday. |

10-19-15 | San Jose Sharks +120 v. NY Rangers | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Money Line +120 @ New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - This is a beautiful spot to grab the Sharks. San Jose used their back-up goalie for the first time this season on Saturday and the results were not pretty. The Sharks lost to the Islanders by a 6-3 score. However, their #1 netminder will be back between the pipes tonight and he helped lead San Jose to a 4-0 start to the season. The Sharks outscored the opposition 14-2 in their first four games of the season and they are poised to bounce back on Monday night. Even though San Jose has a game with the division rival Kings up next, that game is not until Thursday and the Sharks are also playing tonight's game with "double revenge" as SJ lost their two games with the Rangers last season by an ugly combined score of 7 to 1. The Rangers come into this game having lost three straight games. Also, the Rangers were in action yesterday and so it is expected that the Rangers will not have their #1 netminder between the pipes tonight. All the way around, this is a great situation for the Sharks. Play San Jose on the money line as a *10* Top Play Monday. |

05-30-15 | Chicago Blackhawks +120 v. Anaheim Ducks | Top | 5-3 | Win | 120 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Chicago Blackhawks Money Line +120 @ Anaheim @ 8:05 ET - All the pressure is on the Ducks here. They had the Hawks on the ropes. Up 3-2 in the series and forcing the Blackhawks into an elimination game in Game 6, Anaheim had a chance to put this team away. The fact that they didn't spells real trouble here. I certainly know all about the Game 7 history and how home ice is so big in those game. I also am certainly well aware of the "last change" rule that also is a benefit to home teams in hockey. But I took the road team last night in the Eastern finals and faded history and won and will do the same in the Western finals tonight. The fact is that Anaheim is going to be squeezing the sticks a little too tight tonight. Chicago comes in as the "loose team" as they are riding the emotion of their huge Game 6 win that insured a trip to Anaheim. The play of Duncan Keith in this series has been phenomenal and combining his skills with those of guys like Jonathan Toews and this team is hard to beat. They have been cycling the puck very well. They dominated face-offs in Game 6 which keyed their victory in the all-important battle of puck possession. This Hawks team simply will not be denied. The Ducks were supposed to win this series after their big Game 5 win. Now all the pressure is on them as well as goalie Frederik Andersen. That's a lot of pressure and the confident Blackhawks will take advantage of that and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the 3rd time in 5 years. Play Chicago on the money line as a *10* Top Play Saturday. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Chicago Blackhawks Money Line -140 vs Anaheim @ 8:05 ET - After rallying back from a 2 goal deficit late in Game 5, the Blackhawks fell short in overtime. On their home ice for a "win or start golf season" game I don't see Chicago being denied tonight. The Hawks are 14-7 this season when they are off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. Also, Chicago is 9-3 the last 3 years combined when they are trailing in a playoff series. In home games with a posted total of 5 goals or less, the Blackhawks are 34-14 the last 3 years. Chicago has not lost two straight games in this entire post-season. As for this series alone, the teams have alternated wins and losses the entire series. That will continue tonight as the Blackhawks respond after the overtime loss in Game 5. Play Chicago -140 on the money line as a *10* Top Play. |

05-24-15 | Tampa Bay Lightning +125 v. NY Rangers | Top | 2-0 | Win | 125 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Tampa Bay Lightning Money Line +125 @ NY Rangers @ 8:05 ET - The Lightning have done a phenomenal job of bouncing back off of losses not only in this post-season but throughout the entire season. Tampa Bay got drilled on their home ice by a 5-1 score on Friday night and you can bet (literally) that the Bolts will respond tonight. Tampa Bay is 12-3 this season when they are off of a game where they scored 1 goal or less. The Lightning have gone 15-5 this season when they are off of a game where they allowed 4 goals or more. In the post-season, when off of a loss where they scored 1 goal or less, the Lightning have gone a perfect 4-0 and won those games by a combined score of 18 to 7. Despite having to settle for a split on home ice the Lightning did outshoot the Rangers by a combined 79 to 52 margin in those two games. Tampa Bay had won 6 of the last 7 meetings between these teams before the ugly loss Friday night. Look for the Lightning to win for the 5th time in their last 6 trips to Madison Square Garden. A lot of value is being given to the hungry underdog off of a loss. Play Tampa Bay +125 on the money line as a *10* Top Play Sunday. |

Rickenbach NHL *10* Top Play Tampa Bay Lightning Money Line -125 vs NY Rangers @ 8:05 ET - Tremendous line value here with the home team. The Lightning absolutely dominated the Rangers in Game Two in New York as we called for right here. The series is now evened up, the Lightning are back on home ice, and yet they are a very small home favorite. We'll gladly grab the line value with the quicker, stronger offense in this match-up as they also get a boost from returning to home ice! The Rangers are playing on the road for the first time in a week and a half and this is a situation that has not treated them well this season. New York has gone 4-7 this season when they are in a scheduling spot where they've played at least 3 consecutive home games. The Lightning are 9-4 this season, and 18-9 the last 3 seasons, when they are at home in a game with a posted total of 5 goals or less. Tampa Bay has won 14 of their last 19 home games and the last two times they were off of a win where they scored more than 4 goals, they won each time in this post-season. Those two wins came by a combined score of 4 to 1 and while many will look for the Lightning to fall short tonight as they expect a Rangers response, it is stats like these - as well as the explosive firepower of this offense - that have us backing the home team in this one. Play Tampa Bay -125 on the money line as a *10* Top Play Wednesday. |

05-19-15 | Chicago Blackhawks +119 v. Anaheim Ducks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 119 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
Rickenbach NHL *10* Chicago Blackhawks Money Line +120 @ Anaheim @ 9:05 ET - The Hawks outplayed and outskated the Ducks for much of the first two periods in Game 1 of this series but they had nothing to show for it. That is helping to give the road team line value in Game 2 as the Blackhawks are again a decent sized underdog here. We played Tampa Bay last night as they dominated the Rangers to tie that series up. Look for Chicago to also respond off of a Game 1 loss and knot this series up out west. The Blackhawks are 13-4 this season when off of a loss by a margin of 2 goals or more. Game 1 was much closer than the 4-1 final score would indicate and Chicago responds in a huge way tonight. Over the last 3 seasons combined, Chicago is 7-3 when trailing in a playoff series. As strong as the Ducks have been in this post-season they truly took advantage of some favorable match-ups as they got fortunate draws with "only" having to face Winnipeg and Calgary in rounds one and two. They are now facing a much stronger foe in round three and it was evident that the Ducks were outplayed for long stretches in game one against Chicago even though Anaheim did notch the victory. Again, this leads to line value tonight and it's there for the taking. Play Chicago +120 on the money line as a *10* Top Play. |
