03-30-17 | Sharks +115 v. Oilers | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Jose over Edmonton at 9 pm et on Thursday. The Sharks picked up a much needed victory over the Rangers on Tuesday night, snapping a six-game losing skid. Now I look for this veteran team to make a bit of a statement against a possible first round opponent in Edmonton on Monday night. The Oilers clinched a playoff spot for the first time in a decade on Tuesday. I’m anticipating a bit of a letdown on Thursday, however. While the Oilers all said the right things following Tuesday’s victory, you can be sure that there was some celebrating. The price is right to back San Jose as it looks to get on an upswing heading into the postseason. Take San Jose (10*). |

03-30-17 | Panthers v. Canadiens -161 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal over Florida at 7:30 pm et on Thursday. The Habs have gotten back to playing the hockey that helped them lead the Atlantic Division for the better part of the season, and I look for them to wrap up that coveted playoff berth on Thursday night as they host the struggling Panthers. Florida had a closed door meeting following their most recent setback, a 3-2 loss in Toronto on Tuesday night. I’m not sure that will be enough to fix their problems, however. This is a team that had high expectations entering the campaign, but was derailed by injuries, namely to Sasha Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau. While those two players’ return buoyed a bit of a surge initially, lately it’s been a struggle to score goals and win games. Take Montreal (10*). |

03-29-17 | Kings v. Flames -135 | 4-1 | Loss | -135 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
My selection is on Calgary over Los Angeles at 9:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the Flames on home ice on Wednesday night as they try to add to the reeling Kings woes. The Flames own a solid home ice advantage having gone 23-15 in their own building this season. Meanwhile, the Kings continue to struggle on the road, going 14-19-5 away from home. We faded them last night, and I see no reason to jump ship tonight. L.A. isn't scoring right now. Even when it managed to fire 35 shots on goal last night, it still found the back of the net only once. Meanwhile, the Flames have 5, 5, 3, 2, 3, 5 and 4 goals in their last seven home tilts. Take Calgary (10*). |
|||||||
03-28-17 | Kings v. Oilers -125 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 53 m | Show | |
My selection is on Edmonton over Los Angeles at 9:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the playoff hungry Oilers on Tuesday night. The Kings are all but out of the Western Conference playoff hunt, as they wind down another disappointing campaign. This is a franchise that has enjoyed plenty of success in recent years, but certainly not of late. The Oilers have seemingly been home for weeks. And they've played well here, going 21-12-4. By contrast, the Kings are just 14-18-5 on the road. Note that the home team has taken five straight meetings in this series, including the last two here in Edmonton. The Oilers just skated past the Kings 2-0 at home last week. I don't see the Kings picking themselves up off the mat in this one. Take Edmonton (10*). |
|||||||
03-27-17 | Blackhawks -123 v. Lightning | 4-5 | Loss | -123 | 24 h 32 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago over Tampa Bay at 7:35 pm et on Monday. I have no problem backing the Blackhawks coming off an ugly loss against the Panthers on Saturday. Chicago was a no-show in that game, suffering a 7-0 defeat - it happens, even to the league's best teams. I fully expect a strong bounce-back effort from the 'Hawks on Monday night in Tampa. The Lightning are playing for their playoff lives right now, and fresh off back-to-back wins. But they've had a tough time here at home this season, going 19 up and 17 down all told. Meanwhile, the 'Hawks check in 23-12-1 on the road. Tampa Bay has taken the last two meetings in this series but I don't see it making it three in a row. It's a virtual must-win for the Lightning, but I believe the pressure gets to them here. Take Chicago (10*). |
|||||||
03-26-17 | Rangers v. Ducks -138 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
My selection is on Anaheim over New York at 9:05 pm et on Sunday. The Ducks are red hot right now and while the Rangers are coming off a big road win in Los Angeles last night, I look for Anaheim to prevail in this matchup. The Ducks will be looking for their fourth straight win, and this is the place to do it, where they've gone 25-8-4 this season. Of course, the Rangers have been outstanding on the road. That's not to mention the fact that they've won five straight meetings in this series but I believe they're facing a different Anaheim squad right now. The Ducks have a renewed sense of confidence, oddly enough with Jonathan Bernier leading the way between the pipes. Take Anaheim (10*). |
|||||||
03-25-17 | Senators v. Canadiens -160 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 41 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal over Ottawa at 7:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the Canadiens to snap out of their mini-slump at home against the rival Senators on Saturday night. Of course, this will be the third meeting between these two teams since last Saturday, with the Habs winning the previous two matchups. I don't expect anything to change this time around. The Sens are coming off a huge home win over the Penguins and are certainly in the thick of the race for the Atlantic Division title. This is obviously a big game for both teams, but I believe the Habs will have a little more motivation to bounce back following back-to-back disappointing home losses to the Red Wings and Hurricanes. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
03-22-17 | Maple Leafs v. Blue Jackets -147 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -147 | 23 h 47 m | Show |
NHL Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Columbus over Toronto at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. Tough spot for the Leafs here. They're coming off an emotional win over the Bruins on Monday night on home ice, putting them back in the driver's seat in the Eastern Conference wild card playoff race. Now they hit the road to face a Columbus squad that just keeps rolling along, having won four games in a row. The Blue Jackets have obviously been a force at home all season, going 26-9-1. By contrast, Toronto has had a tough time on the road, winning only 15 of 36 games. The Jackets have won three consecutive meetings in this series and I look for their dominance to continue on Wednesday. Take Columbus (10*). |
|||||||
03-20-17 | Bruins -121 v. Maple Leafs | 2-4 | Loss | -121 | 24 h 41 m | Show | |
My selection is on Boston over Toronto at 7:35 pm et on Monday. We backed the Leafs against the Blackhawks on Saturday and fell just short in overtime. I won't hesitate to switch gears on Monday as Toronto welcomes a playoff-hungry Bruins squad to the ACC. Boston turned in a terrible effort in a 7-4 loss in Edmonton on Friday night. Immediately after that game B's coaches and players were only talking about moving on to Toronto. It was a tough spot for Boston on Friday, having started its trip with back-to-back wins in Vancouver and Calgary and playing its third game in four nights. Here, the B's are rested having been idle since Friday. The Leafs have taken each of the first three meetings between these two teams this season. However, we only have to go back two meetings here in Toronto to find the last time the B's won at the ACC. Take Boston (10*). |
|||||||
03-19-17 | Kings v. Flames -120 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 24 h 7 m | Show | |
My selection is on Calgary over Los Angeles at 9:35 pm et on Sunday. This is obviously a big game for both of these teams in the Western Conference playoff picture, but I simply have more faith in the Flames to score enough goals to get the 'W' on Sunday night. Los Angeles is coming off a much needed win over the Sabres on home ice, but still managed to score only two goals in that contest. The Kings have scored just five goals over their last three games combined. Meanwhile, the Flames continue to roll along. Their 10-game winning streak was snapped by the Bruins on Wednesday night but they followed that up with a victory over the Stars on Friday. The Kings are just 14-16-5 on the road this season. Take Calgary (10*). |
|||||||
03-18-17 | Blackhawks v. Maple Leafs +100 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
My selection is on Toronto over Chicago at 7:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll give the Leafs a shot on Saturday night as they break out the Toronto St. Pat's jerseys against the Blackhawks. The Leafs bounced back from an ugly blowout loss in Florida to deliver a 5-0 victory over the Lightning in Tampa on Thursday. I look for them to build off that performance here. The Blackhawks are rolling along, winners of three games in a row, but it's not as if they've been blowing the doors off the opposition. They've scored 0, 2, 4, 4, and 2 goals over their last five contests. Toronto hasn't had much success against the Hawks recently, but keep in mind, the Leafs were absolutely terrible last year - a glorified AHL team essentially. Despite that, we only have to go back two meetings here in TO to find the last time the Leafs defeated the Hawks. Take Toronto (10*). |
|||||||
03-15-17 | Blues v. Ducks -135 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 26 h 18 m | Show | |
My selection is on Anaheim over St. Louis at 10:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Blues got the better of the Ducks on home ice last Friday night but I look for Anaheim to exact a little revenge back on the west coast on Wednesday. St. Louis is hot right now, having won five games in a row including a 3-1 victory in Los Angeles on Monday night. However, the Blues remain just 16-16-1 on the road this season. By contrast, the Ducks are 22-8-3 at home. The Blues have taken both previous meetings in this series this season and three in a row overall. With that being said, this has been a tightly-contested series in recent years, and I'm confident we'll see the Ducks respond favorably here. Take Anaheim (10*). |
|||||||
03-14-17 | Blackhawks +105 v. Canadiens | 4-2 | Win | 105 | 24 h 36 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago over Montreal at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday. The Habs haven't defeated the Blackhawks since January 2014 and I don't see them turning the tide in this series on Tuesday night. Yes, Montreal bounced back from an ugly loss in Calgary with a come-from-behind 4-1 win over the Oilers on Sunday night but let's face it, that game could have gone either way as Edmonton led with less than 10 minutes remaining in the third period. I'm not sure Montreal is quite as good as its recent winning run would seem to indicate. Elite teams like the Blackhawks always seem to get up for these games played at the Bell Centre. The Hawks check in an impressive 20-11-1 on the road this season. While Chicago did earn a 4-2 win over the Wild on Sunday afternoon, they had dropped their last two games prior to that, so I'm certain they'll have their guard up in this one. Take Chicago (10*). |
|||||||
03-13-17 | Avalanche v. Coyotes -139 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
My selection is on Arizona over Colorado at 10:05 pm et on Monday. Both of these teams may be simply playing out the string at this point but at least the Coyotes look like they have an interest in winning games. Arizona has a roster that's full of young players with a lot to prove, not to mention jobs to win next season. The Coyotes scored five goals in an exciting win over the Devils on Saturday night, and I look for them to pick up another victory against the Avalanche here. Colorado did manage to win a couple of games on its most recent homestand, but the Avs were still outshot in both of those games. They turned in an embarrassing performance against the Flames on Saturday, dropping a 4-2 decision that wasn't as close as the final score indicated. The road team has won both previous meetings this season but I don't see that trend continuing here. Take Arizona (10*). |
|||||||
03-13-17 | Blue Jackets v. Flyers +113 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 1 m | Show | |
My selection is on Philadelphia over Columbus at 7:05 pm et on Monday. The Blue Jackets may be enjoying a record-setting season as a franchise, but I'm not a big believer to be honest. They saw their three-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday night in Buffalo and I believe they'll have a tough time picking themselves back off the mat on Monday in Philadelphia. The Flyers have suffered back-to-back losses, both on the road, including a disappointing one goal setback in Boston on Saturday afternoon - giving up the winning goal with less than 10 seconds remaining in the third period. A return home should help their cause as they've gone 19-10-4 on home ice this season. The Jackets suffered a 6-0 loss in their last trip to Philadelphia. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
03-12-17 | Rangers -117 v. Red Wings | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 21 h 7 m | Show | |
My selection is on New York over Detroit at 6:05 pm et on Sunday. The Rangers have been outstanding on the road this season and they're in a big bounce-back spot against the Red Wings on Sunday, having dropped their most recent game in Carolina. Detroit is coming off a big home win over the Blackhawks on Friday night. Of course, the Wings were up for that one following an ugly end to their most recent road trip. I'm not sure they'll be able to get back up for this one on Sunday night. The Rangers just won a game here in Detroit back in January. The road team is a perfect 2-0 in this series this season. Take New York (10*). |
|||||||
03-10-17 | Penguins -110 v. Oilers | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh over Edmonton at 9:05 pm et on Friday. The Oilers have had a couple of days to get over a dreadful performance at home against the Islanders last time out. I'm not sure that idle time will be enough to help them get over the hump against the defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins on Friday night, however. Pittsburgh is rolling once again, having won three games in a row including an impressive 7-4 win in Winnipeg on Wednesday night. The Pens have already defeated the Oilers once this season and have come away victorious in each of their last two trips to Edmonton. This is the type of game that Sidney Crosby gets up for as he leads his Pens against Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Take Pittsburgh (10*). |
|||||||
03-09-17 | Ducks v. Blackhawks -162 | 1-0 | Loss | -162 | 24 h 29 m | Show | |
My selection is on Chicago over Anaheim at 8:35 pm et on Thursday. We're being asked to lay a fairly steep price with the Blackhawks in this matchup but I believe the price could be even higher. The Ducks have been alternating wins and losses for weeks now. They're coming off a shootout win on home ice against the Predators on Tuesday. I don't see them making it two in a row here with starting goaltender John Gibson sidelined and Leafs castoff Jonathan Bernier between the pipes. The Blackhawks are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won seven games in a row. They've gone 22-8-4 on home ice this season. By contrast, the Ducks are a disappointing 13-14-7 on the road. Take Chicago (10*). |
|||||||
03-08-17 | Penguins -129 v. Jets | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh over Winnipeg at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Jets suffered a crippling loss at home against the Sharks on Monday night and I'm not sure they'll pick up the pieces in time for Wednesday's showdown with the Penguins. Pittsburgh has won back-to-back games but needed a furious third period rally to get by the Sabres at home on Sunday. I look for a far more complete performance from the Pens in this spot. While Pittsburgh hasn't won a game here in Winnipeg since 2014, it has played on this ice only once since, suffering a 1-0 loss here last season. The Jets haven't had the same home ice advantage this season, going 16-16-1. Winnipeg's playoff hopes are hanging by a thread in a crowded Western Conference right now. They'll suffer another blow to their chances on Wednesday. Take Pittsburgh (10*). |
|||||||
03-08-17 | Senators +111 v. Stars | 5-2 | Win | 111 | 25 h 56 m | Show | |
My selection is on Ottawa over Dallas at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Senators are coming off a perfect 3-0 homestand and I look for them to keep it rolling on Wednesday night in Dallas. Ottawa is battling it out in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race and playing some of its best hockey of the season right now. The Sens should be confident skating into Dallas, where they delivered a 7-4 victory in their lone trip here last season. The Stars are fresh off back-to-back upset victories in Florida and Washington. Dallas has gone 18-11-6 on home ice this season so it hasn't owned a considerable home ice advantage. I see value with the visitors here. Take Ottawa (10*). |
|||||||
03-07-17 | Canadiens -160 v. Canucks | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 26 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal over Vancouver at 10:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Habs are hot right now, winners of five games in a row and I don't see their winning streak coming to an end in Vancouver on Tuesday night. The Canucks are inexplicably still in the conversation in terms of the Western Conference playoff race, but they would likely be well-suited to drop in the standings (and potentially improve their draft position) rather to rise only to sneak in the postseason and suffer an inevitable first round loss. Off back-to-back wins in Los Angeles and Anaheim I simply feel the Canucks are in for a letdown in this spot. This is a key spot for the Habs as the trip gets tougher with stops in Calgary and Edmonton on deck. Look for them to grab an important two points here. Take Montreal (9*). |
|||||||
03-07-17 | Islanders v. Oilers -150 | 4-1 | Loss | -150 | 25 h 18 m | Show | |
My selection is on Edmonton over New York at 9:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the Oilers as they aim to continue their home dominance of the Islanders on Tuesday night. New York has been awful on the road this season, going 10-15-5 and things won't get any easier against an Oilers squad that checks in 16-10-3 at home. The Isles turned in an ugly performance in a loss in Calgary on Sunday afternoon. While they're sticking around in the Eastern Conference playoff race, I fully expect them to be on the outside looking in when it's all said and done. Edmonton has won back-to-back games and has to realize the importance of picking up two points here before facing tougher matchups against the Penguins and Oilers. Take Edmonton (9*). |
|||||||
03-07-17 | Red Wings v. Maple Leafs -175 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 1 m | Show | |
My selection is on Toronto over Detroit at 7:35 pm et on Tuesday. The Leafs have struggled lately, although a tough west coast road trip had a lot to do with that. I look for them to settle down and deliver a complete performance in a game against the Red Wings at home on Tuesday night. Detroit is coming off back-to-back losses in Calgary and Edmonton, which came on the heels of a win in Vancouver. The Wings haven't enjoyed a great deal of success on the road this season, going 13-13-6. They've dropped both previous meetings against the Leafs this season, including the outdoor Centennial Classic on New Year's Day. This is obviously a huge game for the Leafs who are trying to stay in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. Take Toronto (9*). |
|||||||
03-04-17 | Blackhawks +113 v. Predators | Top | 5-3 | Win | 113 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
NHL Central Division Game of the Year. My selection is on Chicago over Nashville at 8:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the Blackhawks on Saturday night in Nashville. I simply believe the Preds are in for a bit of a dip following a great deal of success. Nashville fell by a 2-1 score in an emotional game in Montreal on Thursday. That put an end to the Preds four-game winning streak. It's worth noting that the Preds scored at least four goals in all four of those games, and five in three of them - a pace they can't keep up. The Blackhawks have won six games in a row and while this would appear to be a streak-stopper type of game, I believe they'll keep it rolling for at least one more. Note that this is their last contest before a four-day layoff. They've had some success on this ice, winning two of their last three trips to Nashville. Chicago checks in as one of the league's best road teams, having gone 19-10-1 in enemy territory this season. Take Chicago (10*). |
|||||||
03-04-17 | Stars v. Panthers -143 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -143 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
NHL Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Florida over Dallas at 7:05 pm et on Saturday. Simply put, I believe this line is too low considering the Stars are one of the worst road teams in the league at 7-18-4 on the season while the Panthers are in a prime bounce-back spot, and in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Florida has struggled lately, and is coming off a disappointing 2-1 shootout loss in Philadelphia on Thursday night. They've now dropped four of their last five games overall. With that being said, the Panthers were buyers at the trade deadline for a reason and believe they can not only get in the playoffs, but maybe make some noise as well. If you follow my plays regularly you know that I'm a pretty big supporter of the Cats. Their recent winning streak was no fluke. They realize the importance of winning games like this down the stretch, while the Stars are simply playing out the string at this point. Look for an offensive breakout from Florida in this one. Take Florida (10*). |
|||||||
03-03-17 | Blues v. Jets -117 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Winnipeg over St. Louis at 8:05 pm et on Friday. I believe we're being asked to lay a short price with the Jets here in this spot, as they aim to rebound from a tough 6-5 loss at home against the Wild on Tuesday night. The Blues may have the better record, and be in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, but they're not playing well at all right now, having dropped four games in a row, failing to score more than two goals in any of those contests. They'll have a tough time matching the Jets firepower in this one. Winnipeg realizes the importance of this homestand for building something positive down the stretch and after dropping the opener, I look for it to respond here. Take Winnipeg (10*). |
|||||||
03-03-17 | Lightning v. Penguins -173 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 23 h 20 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh over Tampa Bay at 7:05 pm et on Friday. I'll keep things simple here. The Lightning have been playing exceptionally well and have worked their way into the playoff race in the Eastern Conference thanks to a 7-1-2 run. However, I expect they'll run into plenty of resistance against a Pens squad that is coming off a flat effort in Chicago two nights ago. We're dealing with a high line here, but I believe the price could be even steeper. Note that the Pens are an incredible 25-4-3 at home this season. Meanwhile the Lightning are just 12-14-6 on the road. Take Pittsburgh (9*). |
|||||||
02-28-17 | Maple Leafs v. Sharks -141 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |
My selection is on San Jose over Toronto at 10:35 pm et on Tuesday. Leafs head coach Mike Babcock has made it clear that this is a big road trip for his team, which continues to stick around in the Eastern Conference playoff race. As much as I like the Leafs, I see this as a tough spot against a superior opponent. San Jose has gone 18-7-4 at home this season while Toronto checks in 13-10-7 on the road. The Leafs haven't won a game here in San Jose since 2011. San Jose hasn't been playing its best hockey by any means, but has also faced a very tough schedule lately. I'm confident we'll see the Sharks bounce back in this spot. Take San Jose (10*). |
|||||||
02-26-17 | Flames +111 v. Hurricanes | 3-1 | Win | 111 | 20 h 36 m | Show | |
My selection is on Calgary over Carolina at 3:05 pm et on Sunday. We won with the Canes on Friday night at home against Ottawa but I won't hesitate to switch gears and back the surging Flames as they visit Carolina on Sunday. Yes, the Canes own a terrific home ice advantage - the difference between their performance at home and on the road has been like night and day. With that being said, the Flames winning road record may be more impressive. Calgary comes into this one on the heels of three straight road wins and has collected at least a point in all four games on its current road trip. The Canes took the lone previous meeting between these two teams in Calgary this season but that should only add to the Flames motivation here. Take Calgary (10*). |
|||||||
02-25-17 | Islanders v. Blue Jackets -145 | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 60 m | Show | |
My selection is on Columbus over New York at 5:05 pm et on Saturday. I'll back the Blue Jackets as they aim to respond following a home loss against the Predators. Columbus has one of the strongest home ice advantages in the league, having gone 21-9-1. The Islanders may be heating up right now, winners of three games in a row, but they're just 9-13-4 on the road this season. Note that the home team is a perfect 3-0 in the last three meetings in this series. The Islanders haven't won a game in regulation time here in Columbus since October of 2015. Take Columbus (10*). |
|||||||
02-24-17 | Senators v. Hurricanes -135 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on Carolina over Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Friday. The Hurricanes have had a rough ride lately, struggling to find the back of the net during a five-game slide. I do expect to see them bounce back against the Senators on Friday, however. Ottawa is injury-riddled right now. It may get some help on Friday night, but I'm not sure that will be enough to lift it to a fourth consecutive road win. Take Carolina (10*). |
|||||||
02-22-17 | Bruins v. Ducks -110 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 26 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Anaheim over Boston at 10:35 pm et on Wednesday. We've had some success fading the Ducks lately but I won't hesitate to switch gears and back them as they host the Bruins on Wednesday night. Anaheim is coming off a disappointing 3-2 loss in Arizona on Monday as the Ducks late rally fell short after falling behind 3-0. They did manage to outshoot the Coyotes by a wide 36-20 margin in that one. At 18-7-3 on the season, the Ducks own one of the league's strongest home ice advantages. The Bruins are red hot right now, and have been since the coaching change. But they haven't won here in Anaheim since 2012. They're just 15-10-6 on the road this season. Take Anaheim (10*). |
|||||||
02-21-17 | Canadiens +124 v. Rangers | 3-2 | Win | 124 | 24 h 3 m | Show | |
NHL Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on Montreal over New York at 7:05 pm et on Tuesday. I'll back the Canadiens in an underdog role at MSG on Tuesday night. The Habs looked flat in their first game back following their 'bye week' - the result was a 3-1 home loss to the Jets on Saturday afternoon. I'm confident we'll see them bounce back here, however. You don't have to go back too far to find the last time Montreal won a game here in New York - the last time it played here in fact, in November 2015. The Habs are a perfect 2-for-2 in their last two trips to Manhattan. The Rangers are coming off a 2-1 win over the first-place Capitals on home ice on Saturday afternoon but it wasn't a particularly stirring performance. Both teams were quite sluggish but the Blueshirts were ultimately the lesser of two evils, so to speak. Canadiens players won't say it, but this is a big game, even if it is just a one-game road trip. It's going to take some time for new head coach Claude Julien's systems to take hold, but I expect an energized performance from his squad on Tuesday. Take Montreal (10*). |
|||||||
02-20-17 | Panthers v. Blues -135 | 2-1 | Loss | -135 | 24 h 50 m | Show | |
My selection is on St. Louis over Florida at 8:05 pm et on Monday. This is a big game for the Blues. After they wrap things up against the Panthers they'll have their 'bye week'. They saw their six-game losing streak grind to a halt in Buffalo on Saturday afternoon but I'm confident they'll bounce back here at home on Monday, noting they've gone a solid 18-13 on home ice this season. The Panthers are of course red hot right now, having won four games in a row and seven of their last eight overall. They're a perfect 4-0 on their current road trip but they've been outshot in each of their last three contests. Florida did win its last game played here in St. Louis last season but prior to that, hadn't recorded a victory on this ice since 2009. Take St. Louis (10*). |

02-18-17 | Jets v. Canadiens -168 | 3-1 | Loss | -168 | 19 h 31 m | Show | |
My selection is on Montreal over Winnipeg at 2:05 pm et on Saturday. The Canadiens are a considerable favorite in Claude Julien's first game back behind the bench but I believe the price could be even higher. Note that Winnipeg hasn't won a game here in Montreal in over three years and checks in 12-19 on the road this season. The Habs, despite their recent struggles, have still managed to go 18-11 on home ice and they come into this one off of their 'bye week'. Look for Julien's presence to give the team a spark as they outlast the Jets on Saturday afternoon. Take Montreal (8*). |

02-17-17 | Panthers +130 v. Ducks | 4-1 | Win | 130 | 26 h 41 m | Show | |
My selection is on Florida over Anaheim at 10:05 pm et on Friday. The Panthers are firing on all cylinders right now and have been since getting Sasha Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau back in the fold. We won with the 'over' in their most recent game - a wild 6-5 overtime win over the Sharks in San Jose. I'll back them in an underdog role in Anaheim on Friday night as they catch the Ducks in their first game back home following a long road trip. The Ducks went 2-4 on that road trip and continue to sputter offensively. Note that they haven't defeated the Panthers in regulation time at home since March of 2014. Florida has won five of its last six games but certainly faces an uphill battle in the Eastern Conference playoff race. I believe the Panthers are a playoff team, however, and will back them at a generous price here. Take Florida (10*). |

02-17-17 | Penguins v. Blue Jackets -103 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
My selection is on Columbus over Pittsburgh at 7:05 pm et on Friday. The home team has won each of the previous two meetings in this series this season and I look for that trend to continue on Friday night in Columbus. The Penguins had an emotional game last night as Sidney Crosby recorded his 1,000th career point against the Jets. I'm looking for a bit of a letdown from the Pens here. The Jackets aren't exactly playing their best hockey right now but they are coming off a solid 5-2 win over the Leafs on Wednesday night. They'll have the advantage of taking the ice at home for the fifth straight game here. Note that Columbus is an exceptional 20-8-1 at home this season while Pittsburgh has gone 12-10-4 on the road. Take Columbus (10*). |

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*). |
|||||||
02-04-17 | 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*). |
|||||||
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*). |
|||||||
01-21-17 | 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*). |
|||||||
01-16-17 | 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*). |
|||||||
01-05-17 | 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*). |
