New Jersey Devils’ backers are rolling in cash as the team continues to cruise to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The Devils are the hottest team in the league with nine wins in their last 10 games as they prepare to host the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night. During the streak, bettors have reeled-in big profits with their team winning four of those games as an underdog.
1. The Puckline Still Sucks
The favorites have been getting demolished by the spread in hockey, also known as the puckline. In 305 games this season, the favorites have only covered 99 times, which leads us to 206 spread losses on the season. That means that if you’re going to bet on the puckline, road dogs are your best bet percentage wise. On the road, the underdogs have brought home the profit 64.44% of the time (154-85 ATS).
Forget the slow start – the Anaheim Ducks are on a roll. After beginning the season in a funk the Ducks have heated up – paying off for those doing any NHL betting on them with eight wins (and an overtime loss) in their past nine games. Ryan Getzlaf and company will return to the ice Friday night, as they start their weekend against the Stars.
