02-15-17 | Panthers v. Sharks OVER 5 | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 28 h 60 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Florida and San Jose at 10:35 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the 'over' in San Jose on Wednesday night. The last three meetings between these two teams since the start of last season have totaled 7, 3 and 6 goals. The one low-scoring affair came in Florida. The Panthers offense has certainly got rolling since getting Sasha Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau back in the lineup. Florida has scored 18 goals over its last four contests. Meanwhile, San Jose has been one of the best 'under' bets in the NHL this season. However, the Sharks most recent road trip saw the 'over' cash at a 2-1-1 clip. They've been a defensive force at home this season, giving up just north of two goals per game but I believe they'll have their hands full in this spot. The Panthers are giving up 2.7 goals per game on the road and haven't exactly been a stout defensive squad lately, allowing 16 goals over their last four games. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-15-17 | Blues v. Red Wings UNDER 5.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 26 h 36 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between St. Louis and Detroit at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the 'under' in Detroit on Wednesday night. The Blues have turned things around in goal lately, allowing a grand total of only three goals over their last four games. Now they head to Detroit to take on an offensively-challenged Red Wings squad. Detroit has actually scored seven goals in its last three contests. I don't believe it will be interested in getting involved in a high-scoring affair here, however. Note that the Wings are averaging a very pedestrian 2.5 goals per game on home ice this season. The Blues haven't been much better on the road, averaging under 2.7 goals per game. The 'under' is 7-1 in the last eight meetings in this series and only three of those contests featured totals of 5.5. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Ducks v. Wild UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 24 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Western Conference Total of the Month. My selection is on the 'under' between Anaheim and Minnesota at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the 'under' in Minnesota on Tuesday night. The Wild are coming off a high-scoring affair on Sunday as they defeated the Red Wings by a 6-3 score. The last time we saw them face the Ducks the result was also high-scoring as Minnesota skated to a 5-3 victory in January. That was an anomaly in this series, however, as the 'over' hadn't cashed in any of the last five meetings in this series. The Wild are giving up just a shade over two goals per game on home ice this season and I don't see the Ducks breaking through on Tuesday night. On the flip side, Anaheim gave up six goals in Washington last time out but should respond well after back-to-back off days. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Sabres v. Senators OVER 5.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Buffalo and Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the 'over' in Ottawa on Tuesday night. The Sabres are coming off a disappointing 4-2 home loss to the Canucks on Sunday night, which came on the heels of a big road win over the rival Leafs on Saturday. Buffalo has certainly been involved in its share of high-scoring affairs lately, with three of its last four games reaching 9, 7 and 6 goals. The Senators, on the other hand, have seen the 'under' cash in each of their last two contests. They've been an 'under' squad this season but they're also more than capable of hanging a crooked number on the scoreboard. The first meeting between these two teams this season totaled just four goals as the Sabres cruised to a 4-0 victory. The last time they hooked up in Ottawa they combined to score nine goals. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Stars v. Predators OVER 5.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Dallas and Nashville at 6:05 pm et on Sunday. 5.5's have been the norm in this series over the years and rightfully so. The first meeting between these two teams this season totaled only three goals but since then two meetings have produced a total of 14 goals - seven in each contest. I'm anticipating another high-scoring affair on Sunday afternoon. Both of these teams were involved in high-scoring affairs on Saturday afternoon. The Stars once again can't keep the puck out of their own net while the Preds have scored 11 goals over their last three contests. Dallas' offense hasn't been all that consistent lately but did bust out yesterday, setting itself up for a big game here, against a Preds team it has defeated in four of the last five meetings in this series. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Red Wings v. Wild UNDER 5.5 | 3-6 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Detroit and Minnesota at 3:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the 'under' in Minnesota on Sunday afternoon. We've been involved in each of the Wild's last two contests so we have a pretty good read on them heading into this one (lost with the under on Wednesday and won with Minnesota on Friday). The Wild continue to play well, and Devan Dubnyk remains one of the best goaltenders in the league this season. Meanwhile, the Red Wings continue to struggle to score goals, most recently falling by a 2-1 score in Columbus yesterday. Things won't get any easier here. Note that you would have to go back over two years to find the last time these two teams combined to score more than five goals in a game. Take the under (8*). |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Saint Louis Cardinals v. Canadiens -145 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -145 | 23 h 55 m | Show |
NHL Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Montreal over St. Louis at 7:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the Habs on Saturday night as they return home after picking up a much-needed victory in Arizona on Thursday night. Of course, Montreal has been terrific at home this season, going 18-6-4. Meanwhile, the Blues check in 11-13-1 on the road. Montreal's win on Thursday snapped a four-game losing streak. Perhaps most important in that victory was the fact that the Habs scored five goals and fired 40 shots on net. While Carey Price continues to struggle between the pipes, credit Montreal for giving him plenty of support on Thursday. The Blues are a perfect 3-0 on their current road trip. Their goaltending has suddenly become a strength as they've allowed just one goal during this trip. It is worth noting that the Blues haven't won a game in Montreal since 2013. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Lightning v. Wild -165 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 55 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota over Tampa Bay at 8:05 pm et on Friday. I'll back the Wild to bounce back from a tough overtime loss to the Blackhawks as they host the Lightning on Friday. Keep in mind, Tampa Bay hasn't won a game here in Minnesota since 2011. Despite the loss on Wednesday, the Wild remain a strong 17-6-1 at home this season. Meanwhile, the Lightning are just 10-14-4 on the road. Tampa Bay does enter this game on a high note off of back-to-back wins over the Ducks and Kings, however, those victories came on home ice. Note that the Wild haven't suffered consecutive losses since dropping three games in a row from November 26th to December 2nd. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
02-09-17 | Kings v. Panthers -105 | 6-3 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 18 m | Show | |
My selection is on Florida over Los Angeles at 7:35 pm et on Thursday. The Panthers are suddenly on a roll, having won three games in a row - all here at home. Of course, that hot streak coincides with the return of Sasha Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau. With their full compliment of players intact, this is a team to keep an eye on down the stretch, and I like their chances of keeping their hot hand against the struggling Kings on Thursday. Los Angeles has lost back-to-back games, with those two setbacks coming by identical 5-0 scores. After Thursday's game they'll enjoy their 'bye week' and I can't help but think they might just look past the Panthers. Florida will have no shortage of motivation after dropping both meetings with the Kings last season. Take Florida (10*). |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Blackhawks v. Wild UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
NHL Central Division Total of the Year. My selection is on the ‘under’ between Chicago and Minnesota at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. We won with the ‘over’ in Minnesota’s 4-2 win over the Jets in Winnipeg last night. However, I won’t hesitate to switch gears and back the ‘under’ as the Wild return home to host the Blackhawks on Wednesday. While both of these teams command plenty of respect for their defensive play, it is their offense that first comes to mind for most bettors - a big reason we’re dealing with a total of 5.5 rather than 5 in this particular situation. The ‘Hawks are coming off back-to-back high-scoring affairs to open their current road trip, but have been idle since Saturday’s 5-3 win in Dallas, and I believe that helps our cause with the ‘under’ here. For the Wild, they’ve seen each of their last five contests reach at least six goals. I don’t believe they’ll be interested in getting involved in a high-scoring back-and-forth affair against the rested ‘Hawks’ tonight though. Look for both teams to treat this one with playoff-level intensity as they take center stage as the only game on the ice. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
02-07-17 | Wild v. Jets OVER 5.5 | 4-2 | Win | 102 | 24 h 12 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Minnesota and Winnipeg at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. Full writeups will return on Wednesday. The Jets can't keep the puck out of their own net right now but the good news is, they're back home, where they average over three goals per game. The Wild are usually stout defensively but that hasn't really been the case lately. Expect a high-scoring affair here. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Kings v. Flyers -111 | 1-0 | Loss | -111 | 23 h 58 m | Show | |
My selection is on Philadelphia over Los Angeles at 1:05 pm et on Saturday. The Flyers have been a force at home this season and I look for their dominance to continue as they host the Kings on Saturday afternoon. Philadelphia has gone 16-7-3 at Wells Fargo Center while L.A. checks in just 11-13-3 on the road this season. The Kings do come in hot, having won four games in a row, including a 5-0 blowout win over the hapless Avs last time out. The Flyers caught the Habs flat-footed on Thursday night as Montreal turned in one of its most lifeless efforts of the entire campaign. But let's not take anything away from that Flyers victory. Philadelphia needed a win to bounce back following an ugly showing in Carolina and delivered just that. I look for the Flyers to build on that performance here. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
02-03-17 | Islanders v. Red Wings -110 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 24 h 33 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit over New York at 7:35 pm et on Friday. I'll back the Red Wings in this spot, despite the fact that these two teams appear to be headed in opposite directions right now. The Islanders are 6-1 over their last seven games and delivered an impressive 3-2 win over the Capitals in their first game back following the All-Star break. However, you can't help but think they're facing some distraction right now with news that the team will be leaving Brooklyn. The Red Wings have dropped five straight games including a 4-3 home loss to the Devils last time out. Keep in mind, this is the same team that just a couple of weeks ago reeled off three straight wins over the Penguins, Canadiens and Bruins on home ice. Detroit has taken three of the last four meetings in this series. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
02-02-17 | Canadiens v. Flyers UNDER 5.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Montreal and Philadelphia at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the 'under' in Philadelphia on Thursday night. The Habs busted out for five goals in a win over the Sabres on Tuesday night. They've certainly performed well offensively on home ice lately, but haven't been quite as explosive on the road, scoring just five goals in their last four games. Meanwhile, the Flyers may be known for their offensive prowess, but they've found the back of the net only eight times in regulation time over their last six games. This is a big game for both teams and I don't expect either to give an inch. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-31-17 | Senators v. Panthers -105 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 24 h 30 m | Show | |
My selection is on Florida over Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday. The Senators are a team that I have pegged for a bit of a drop-off in the second half of the NHL season. Meanwhile, there's nowhere to go but up for the Panthers following a disappointing start to the campaign. The Panthers did head into the All-Star break on a high note, having delivered victories in each of their last two home games - against Columbus and Tampa Bay. At least they have something to build on coming out of the break. Meanwhile, the Senators cooled off, dropping two of their last three contests - both on home ice, and both by way of overtime. These two teams have split their first two meetings this season, both in Ottawa, but the Panthers have won four of their last six matchups with the Sens. Take Florida (10*). |
|||||||
01-26-17 | Blues v. Wild -162 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota over St. Louis at 8:05 pm et on Thursday. The Wild have enjoyed a tremendous start to the season and they have a chance to put an exclamation point on that start with a victory over the Blues heading into the All-Star break. I like their chances on Thursday night. Note that Minnesota checks in 7-2 over its last nine contests. Also note that the home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings in this series. The Blues won just once in Minnesota over that stretch. St. Louis snapped a three-game losing streak with a stunning 3-0 win over the defending champion Penguins on Tuesday night. The Blues had allowed 18 goals over their previous three games going into that one. They check in just 8-12-1 on the road this season while the Wild have gone 16-6 at home. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
01-24-17 | Lightning v. Blackhawks OVER 5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 19 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Tampa Bay and Chicago at 8:35 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the 'over' in Chicago on Tuesday night. Both of these teams should come into this game with some positive energy, albeit for different reasons. The Lightning have been struggling and certainly know they need to start making a move if they want to get back in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. They did score three times in their last game - topping the two-goal mark for the first time in five games - and fired 48 shots on goal. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks have won three games in a row, scoring 11 goals over that stretch. I do expect to see the 'Hawks set the tone in this one, noting that they're averaging over three goals per game on home ice while the Lightning allow just shy of 2.9 goals per contest on the road. The 'under' is a perfect 6-0 in the last six meetings in this series going back to their Stanley Cup Final series two years ago. That helps keep this number in check. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
01-23-17 | Flames v. Maple Leafs OVER 5.5 | 0-4 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 31 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Calgary and Toronto at 7:35 pm et on Monday. I'll back the 'over' in Toronto on Monday night. The Leafs are coming off a rare low-scoring affair against the Senators two nights ago - a game they lost by a 3-2 score in a shootout. I do expect them to bounce back offensively against the Flames. Note that Calgary was torched for seven goals against the rival Oilers on Saturday night. The Flames have seen the 'over' cash in three straight games while the 'over' is 7-2 in the Leafs last nine overall. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Ducks v. Wild -135 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 29 h 50 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota over Anaheim at 9:05 pm et on Saturday. The Ducks are playing good hockey right now but I look for them to run into some trouble in Minnesota on Saturday night. Of course, the Wild own one of the strongest home ice edges in the league, having gone 15-5 here this season. Note that Minnesota enters this game having gone 5-1 over its last six contests. Anaheim hasn't won a game here in nearly two years, last recording a victory in Minnesota in March 2015. Solid value with the Wild in this spot. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
01-19-17 | Senators v. Blue Jackets OVER 5.5 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 33 m | Show |
My selection is on the 'over' between Ottawa and Columbus at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. The Senators have been involved in plenty of high-scoring affairs lately, and I don't see that changing on Thursday night in Columbus. Note that the last three meetings between these teams here in Columbus have totaled seven, 10 and six goals. The Blue Jackets have allowed a single goal in each of their last four victories but that's a streak that could be in jeopardy here - that is if they can secure a win at all. The Senators have won three of their last four games, scoring at least four goals in each of those victories. Ottawa is giving up just shy of three goals per game on the road while Columbus averages nearly 3.8 goals per contest at home. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
01-18-17 | Coyotes v. Jets UNDER 5.5 | 3-6 | Loss | -120 | 23 h 5 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Arizona and Winnipeg at 7:35 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the 'under' in Winnipeg on Wednesday night, despite the fact that we just cashed a 10* ticket on the 'over' the last time these two teams met last week. Both teams have struggled to score goals since, combining for just five goals in four games. The Jets are clearly feeling the effects of the absence of rookie sensation Patrik Laine while the Coyotes are without young budding star Max Domi. Note that the Coyotes are averaging right around 1.9 goals per game on the road this season so they could be facing an uphill battle here. The Jets know that they need to tighten things up defensively, and between the pipes, where they have recalled veteran Ondrej Pavelec to help 'stop the bleeding'. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-17-17 | Sabres +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 24 h 51 m | Show | |
My selection is on Buffalo +1.5 goals over Toronto at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday. I believe we're being given a generous price to back the Sabres with an insurance goal in our back pocket on Tuesday night in Toronto. The Maple Leafs have made waves, particularly of late, as they've notched back-to-back road wins over the Rangers and Senators entering this one. But they're still just 10-7-2 on home ice this season, and they're not immune to the growing pains that any young team suffers through. While the Sabres are a rival, I still believe this could be a tough game to get up for. Buffalo snapped a two-game skid with a 4-1 win over the reeling Stars yesterday. That win will be all for not if they can't follow it up with a strong effort here. Note that the first meeting in this series this season resulted in a 2-1 Leafs victory in Buffalo. The Leafs will be looking for just their third three-game winning streak of the season on Tuesday. They've yet to win three consecutive games by multiple goals. Take Buffalo +1.5 goals (10*). |
|||||||
01-16-17 | Capitals +110 v. Penguins | Top | 7-8 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 19 m | Show |
My selection is on Washington over Pittsburgh at 7:05 pm et on Monday. The common line of thinking here is that the Penguins will get quick revenge against the Caps after dropping a blowout decision in Washington last Wednesday night. I'm not sure it's as simple as that, however. The Caps are rolling right now. They've won nine games in a row and are fresh off back-to-back shutout victories with Braden Holtby playing some of the best hockey of his career between the pipes (note that Philip Grubauer was in net on Sunday against Philadelphia). It will be back to Holtby against the Pens on Monday and I'm confident he can outduel whoever the Pens elect to give the start in goal. Pittsburgh has dropped three games in a row and will likely be without its anchor on defense, Kris Letang, on Monday. Tough spot for Crosby and co. here. Take Washington (10*). |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Wild v. Stars UNDER 5.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Minnesota and Dallas at 8:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the 'under' in Dallas on Saturday night. The Wild are coming off a 7-1 rout of the Canadiens on Thursday night. The 'over' is now 7-1-1 in their last nine contests. Note that the 'under' has cashed in both previous meetings this season. I don't believe we'll see a total of 5.5 in the next matchup. The Stars have seen the 'over' cash in four of their last five games. They scored five goals in a win over the Red Wings on home ice last time out. They'll face more resistance against the Wild, however. Perhaps the best news for Dallas right now is that it is finally getting some solid goaltending. That also lends itself to the 'under' in this one. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-13-17 | Jets v. Coyotes OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 113 | 24 h 29 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Winnipeg and Arizona at 9:05 pm et on Friday. I'll back the 'over' in Glendale on Friday night. The Jets are without Patrik Laine but they've still managed to score six goals in his absence. They do have scoring depth and are capable of keeping it rolling offensively even without their rookie sniper. They should thrive in this matchup with the Coyotes, who have allowed eight goals in the last two meetings in this series. Arizona is dealing with a number of key injuries, but after the 'bye week' should be able to put forth a better effort than we've seen recently. The Jets aren't keeping pucks out of their net right now, opening the door for the 'Yotes to bust out offensively. I believe the oddsmakers have it right with this reasonably high total. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
01-10-17 | Flyers v. Sabres UNDER 5.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 30 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Philadelphia and Buffalo at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. Neither of these teams have been all that consistent offensively, in fact both have been lagging for the most part, even if the Sabres have shown some signs of life lately. It's been nearly two years since they last played 'over' a total of 5.5 here in Buffalo and I don't see it happening here. Philadelphia has been shutout twice and held to a single goal on three other occasions over its last 10 games. Meanwhile the Sabres are averaging just a shade over two goals per game on home ice. They found a big spark in the third period against the Jets on Saturday, but I don't see a lot of carry-over from that performance here. Take the under (10*). |
|||||||
01-05-17 | Blue Jackets v. Capitals -130 | Top | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 23 h 58 m | Show |
NHL Eastern Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Washington over Columbus at 7:05 pm et on Thursday. The Blue Jackets are the hottest team in recent memory but I expect their long winning streak to come to an end on Thursday night in Washington. Columbus will face a tall task here, having already defeated the Caps in both previous meetings this season. You would have to go back over the last eight meetings prior to that to find three wins by the Jackets over the Caps. Washington has held a strong home ice advantage this season, going 14-5 at the Verizon Center. Of course, the Jackets have been a force on the road, going 12-2-3, but I don't believe they can keep up that pace over a long season. The Caps are finding ways to win right now, having notched three victories in a row including a wild come-from-behind 6-5 overtime win over the Leafs on Tuesday. Look for them to topple the seemingly invincible Jackets on Thursday. Take Washington (10*). |
|||||||
01-04-17 | Canadiens v. Stars -127 | 4-3 | Loss | -127 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
My selection is on Dallas over Montreal at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Habs were 'all-in' for last night's game against the Predators as Shea Weber made his much-anticipated return to Nashville. They won that game and now make the quick trip to Dallas to close out a long, largely successful road trip. I'm not anticipating a peak effort from the Habs here, however. Dallas certainly has motivation on its side here after seeing its three-game winning streak grind to a halt at home against the Panthers last time out. The Stars have essentially been treading water at best this season, but they catch the Habs in a favorable spot here, noting that Montreal is expected to turn to backup Al Montoya between the pipes. Take Dallas (10*). |
|||||||
01-03-17 | Kings v. Sharks -140 | 2-1 | Loss | -140 | 27 h 9 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Jose over Los Angeles at 10:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the Sharks as they try to respond following a 3-2 loss to the Kings in Los Angeles last time out. San Jose owns a strong 13-4 home record this season while Los Angeles checks in at 7-11-3 on the road. It's not as if the Kings were playing well prior to taking down the Sharks - they had dropped three games in a row, in fact, scoring a grand total of four goals over that stretch. Meanwhile, the Sharks had won their last four games. San Jose has still won four of the last five games in this series. I believe we're being asked to lay a very reasonable price here. Take San Jose (10*). |
|||||||
12-31-16 | Blue Jackets v. Wild OVER 5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 23 h 51 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Columbus and Minnesota at 6:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the 'over' in Minnesota on Saturday. Both of these teams are obviously red hot right now. Both are also scoring goals in bunches. That's a trend I see continuing on Saturday night. Both teams have trended toward the 'under' this season, but not so much recently. The Blue Jackets have seen their last two games go 'over' the total. Meanwhile, the Wild have posted a 3-0-1 o/u mark over their last four contests. The most recent meeting in this series totaled six goals. Expect a similar result here. Take the over (10*). |
|||||||
12-31-16 | Blue Jackets v. Wild -125 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -125 | 23 h 55 m | Show |
NHL Non-Conference Game of the Year. My selection is on Minnesota over Columbus at 6:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the Wild on home ice in this battle of red hot NHL teams. The Blue Jackets have been the talk of the league this season. There's really not a lot bad I can say about them right now - little reason to go against them here, in fact. But here's the thing; the Wild have been every bit as good and home ice advantage certainly plays a role as they've gone 13-3 here this season. Also note that the Wild had the Blue Jackets number last season, taking both meetings, and I'm confident they'll have the upper hand here as well. Both teams are scoring goals in bunches right now, but it's the Wild that I believe is better suited to keep the puck out of the net. You won't find a steadier goalie than Devan Dubnyk right now, and he'll certainly be highly-motivated to continue his team's winning streak while ending the Jackets' on Saturday. The favorite has gone 3-1 in four meetings in this series over the last two seasons. That trend holds on Saturday night. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
12-29-16 | Blackhawks +113 v. Predators | 3-2 | Win | 113 | 24 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago over Nashville at 8:05 pm et on Thursday. Hitting the road might be the best thing for the Blackhawks right now. Chicago has dropped three games in a row - all at home, but I look for it to bounce back in Nashville on Thursday. Note that the Blackhawks are a solid 9-6-1 on the road this season. The Preds are 10-4-4 on home ice but have dropped back-to-back games here and check in just 3-6 overall dating back to December 8th. The home team has owned this series so far this season, taking both meetings. However, the Blackhawks have won here as recently as last January and I look for them to bounce back again in this spot. Take Chicago (10*). |

12-27-16 | Jets v. Blackhawks -150 | 3-1 | Loss | -150 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago over Winnipeg at 8:35 pm et on Tuesday. We're being asked to lay a considerable price with the Blackhawks against the Jets on Tuesday, but I believe the line could be even higher. Chicago is coming off back-to-back losses prior to the Christmas break, including a disappointing 2-1 overtime loss against the lowly Avalanche on home ice. I fully expect to see the Hawks respond favorably here. Note that the Hawks are 13-3-4 on home ice this season. Meanwhile, the Jets are just 6-11-2 on the road. They've won three of their last four contests overall but this is a tough spot following the layoff. Take Chicago (9*). |

12-23-16 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
My selection is on Columbus over Montreal at 7:05 pm et on Friday. The Blue Jackets delivered a huge 7-1 win over the defending champion Penguins last night, but it will be all for not if they can't follow it up with another strong effort against the Habs - who are also in a back-to-back spot - on Friday night. I believe we're being asked to lay a reasonable price with Columbus here given the fact that the Canadiens are missing a number of key cogs, and will likely turn to backup Al Montoya between the pipes tonight. Montreal checks in 6-5-1 on the road this season, which is respectable, but that pales in comparison to the Blue Jackets 12-3-1 record on home ice. Take Columbus (9*). |

12-22-16 | Ducks v. Senators UNDER 5.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between Anaheim and Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the 'under' in Ottawa on Thursday. The last time the Sens faced the Ducks a couple of weeks ago in Anaheim, Mike Condon was torched for three goals in the first period en route to an ugly defeat. I'm expecting a much tighter contest here, as the Ducks close out a long road trip and aim to bounce back from a 5-1 loss in Montreal two nights ago. Anaheim went with backup Jonathan Bernier between the pipes in that one. Tonight the Ducks will likely turn back to John Gibson and I expect him to perform well and ultimately keep his team in the game for 60 minutes. Take the under (10*). |

12-20-16 | Blues v. Stars UNDER 5.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 42 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between St. Louis and Dallas at 8:35 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the 'under' in Dallas on Tuesday night. We've seen a pair of high-scoring affairs between these two Central Division rivals this season, totaling eight and seven goals. I'm anticipating a much lower-scoring contest on Tuesday, however. The Blues have allowed exactly six goals in two of their last three games, which obviously can't sit well for this usually defensively responsible team. I fully expect to see them turn in a much tighter performance here. The Stars haven't been scoring with any consistency lately, a big reason they've been struggling to find the win column. Note that the 'under' is 5-3 over their last eight games and they've posted a 15-18 o/u mark overall this season. These two teams are very familiar with one another and that generally lends itself to lower-scoring hockey than we've seen in the first two meetings in this series this season. Take the under (10*). |

12-16-16 | Blue Jackets -121 v. Flames | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
My selection is on Columbus over Calgary at 9:05 pm et on Friday. I'll back the red hot Blue Jackets against the Flames on Friday night. Columbus has reeled off seven straight wins and opened its current road trip with a 3-1 victory in Edmonton on Tuesday. With two days off between games I expect to see the Jackets come out with plenty of energy against Calgary. The Flames suffered their first loss in seven games on Wednesday night as they fell by a 6-3 score against Columbus. While I do expect Calgary to turn in a much better defensive effort here, I'm not sure it will be enough. The road team has won seven of the last eight meetings in this series. It's been an eternity since Calgary defeated Columbus at home. Take Columbus (10*). |

12-15-16 | Rangers v. Stars UNDER 5.5 | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'under' between New York and Dallas at 8:35 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the 'under' in Dallas on Thursday night. First of all, seven of the last eight meetings in this series have totaled five goals or less. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't seen a game play 'over' five goals since December 6th against the Islanders. Having allowed a grand total of three goals during a 3-1 run, the Rangers are in terrific form defensively right now. The Stars will pose a tough challenge, but I believe New York will be up for it. Dallas is known as a high-scoring team but the fact is, it has posted a 15-16 o/u record this season. The Stars are fresh off a 6-2 win over the Ducks on home ice, but should be brought back to reality against the Rangers. With plenty of offensive firepower on the ice, the public will be quick to back the 'over' in this one but I'm confident going the other way. Take the under (10*). |

12-15-16 | Wild v. Predators -130 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
My selection is on Nashville over Minnesota at 8:05 pm et on Thursday. We won with the Wild in their rout of the Panthers two nights ago, but I won't hesitate to switch gears and back the Preds as they host Minnesota on Thursday night. Minnesota has won five straight games, but three of those victories came at home, where the Wild have been outstanding this season. They check in just 6-5-4 on the road. By contrast, the Preds have gone 10-2-2 on home ice and come into this one off a big 6-3 home win over the Blues. With Nashville's offense clicking on home ice right now (10 goals in last two home games), I like the Preds at a very reasonable price on Thursday night. Take Nashville (10*). |

12-14-16 | Flyers v. Avalanche OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 102 | 27 h 51 m | Show | |
My selection is on the 'over' between Philadelphia and Colorado at 10:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the 'over' in Colorado on Wednesday night. The Flyers are coming off a rare low-scoring affair as they pulled out a 1-0 overtime win in Detroit on Sunday. I expect a return to 'normal' here, noting that the 'over' had gone 3-0-1 in Philadelphia's previous four contests. Likewise, Colorado saw its last three games play 'over' the total prior to its 3-1 win in Toronto on Sunday. Avs goaltender Semyon Varlamov stood on his head in that victory, stopping 51 shots. I'm not counting on a repeat performance here. The 'over' is 3-1 in the last four meetings in this series with the last two matchups in Colorado totaling seven and six goals. Take the over (10*). |

12-13-16 | Panthers v. Wild -150 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 24 h 18 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota over Florida at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Wild continue to quietly roll along, winners of four games in a row and now an impressive 9-3 on home ice this season. Meanwhile, the Panthers have been a disappointment so far. They're coming off a 4-1 win over the Canucks on Saturday but that came on the heels of four straight losses. They're just 5-7-2 on the road this season. The home team has won three straight meetings in this series and Florida's last victory in Minnesota came way back in 2010. I believe we'lre being asked to lay a reasonable price to back the superior squad on home ice. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
12-12-16 | Bruins v. Canadiens -143 | 2-1 | Loss | -143 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal over Boston at 7:35 pm et on Monday. Having been in attendance for Saturday's 10-1 rout of the Avalanche at the Bell Centre, I can confirm that the Canadiens are playing their best hockey of the season - or should I say, they've played their best hockey of the season over the last two games. It will be all for not if they can't keep it going against the Bruins on Monday, however. I look for them to secure another victory. Boston is struggling right now and has had a really tough time living up to expectations so far this season. Sure, the Bruins are capable of rising to the occasion against their biggest rival, particularly on the road, where they've been at their best this season. But I simply believe they're running into the Habs in the wrong place at the wrong time. Montreal has lost just once in regulation time in 16 home games this season. The Habs have certainly had the Bruins number, taking both previous matchups this season. Expect more of the same here. Take Montreal (10*). |

12-08-16 | Flames -119 v. Coyotes | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 24 h 10 m | Show | |
My selection is on Calgary over Arizona at 9:05 pm et on Thursday. I'll back the Flames in Glendale on Thursday night. Calgary is quietly one of the hottest teams in the league right now, no pun intended. The Flames opened this short two-game road trip with a 2-1 win over the Stars. That game could have been a lot more lopsided had Calgary buried its many scoring opportunities. I expect the Flames to continue to carry the play in Arizona on Thursday as they take on a Coyotes squad that has dropped five games in a row. Arizona has scored a grand total of seven goals over the course of its five-game skid. The 'Yotes were outshot in all five of those games. Also note that they're just 5-5-1 at home this season. Calgary snapped a four-game losing streak in this series last March and then delivered a 2-1 overtime win at home back in mid-November. I simply see this as a 'buy low' opportunity with the Flames. Take Calgary (10*). |

12-06-16 | Canadiens v. Blues -121 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 55 m | Show | |
My selection is on St. Louis over Montreal at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. Bettors may have renewed confidence in the Habs following a shootout win in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. That's if this line is any indication. I believe the price is simply too short. The Blues have been dominant at home this season and won't look past a Montreal squad that has been at or near the top of the Eastern Conference standings all season. St. Louis will certainly have ample motivation following a 3-2 overtime loss at home against the Jets on Saturday. Meanwhile, this is the final installment of a five-game road trip that has taken the Habs all over the map. Montreal has gone 2-2 so far, but hasn't played particularly well. I believe the Habs will have one eye on a return home on Thursday night. Take St. Louis (10*). |
