12-19-22 | Islanders v. Avalanche -145 | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is going to be a great game between two of the better teams in the league. The Islanders look to pull off the upset but the Avalanche look to build off a recent win and control this game from the first period. The Avalanche, who average 3.03 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Avalanche, who allow only 2.76 goals per game, should also limit the Islanders' offense with Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to make plenty of big saves. The Avalanche should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice. |

12-19-22 | Stars -215 v. Blue Jackets | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Only two wins have come about for the Stars on their last 10 visits to Ohio. Still, we are talking about the 2nd-best team from the Western Conference visiting the worst side from the Eastern Conference. So, do expect Dallas to deal with the hosts here quite comfortably! The Stars, who have already beaten the Blue Jackets in four of their previous five overall encounters, have triumphed by more than one snipe in 15 of their 18 victories this season. Columbus, meanwhile, has been outplayed by a margin of at least two markers in a whopping 17 of its 20 setbacks during the ongoing campaign, including the very last six. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Red Wings v. Capitals -169 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings are looking to snap out of their losing streak and win the upcoming game on the road. The problem is that they face a Capitals team that has played great in the recent games and looks to overwhelm the Red Wings on both ends of the ice. The Capitals, who average 3.03 goals per game, should create plenty of scoring chances with Alexander Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement while John Carlson generates shots on the net from the blue line. The Capitals, who allow only 2.85 goals per game, should also limit the Red Wings, who have scored only 2.90 goals per game, with Nick Jensen, Trevor van Riemsdyk, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Charlie Lindgren to make plenty of big saves. The Capitals should win the game. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Panthers v. Bruins -180 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bruins will eventually lose at home...I think. The Bruins have dominated almost every major statistical category this season and come into this game very healthy. The Panthers will also likely get the misfortune of matching up with red-hot Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark. Ullmark is 17-1-1 on the season and owns a 1.83 goals against average and a .938 save percentage. Boston should take advantage of Florida's shaky special teams and put up goals on the power play and keep the Panther at bay on the penalty kill. It will be interesting to see how Boston controls the middle of the ice against the league leading team in shots on net, considering the Bruins are allowing the third lowest shots on net this season. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Rangers -211 v. Blackhawks | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago’s Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are set to play their 1,000th NHL game together tonight, becoming the 11th pair of teammates to reach the milestone in history. Still, don’t expect the celebrations to hit unforeseen heights, as the Blackhawks are not in for a rare win against the in-form Rangers. New York, which has already snatched six victories on its last eight trips to the Windy City, is currently riding a season-long six-game winning run, having triumphed by more than one snipe in four of those fixtures. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, have managed to muster just a single victory in their previous 15 outings, losing by a margin of at least two markers in a whopping 12 of them. |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Senators v. Wild -195 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators have won four games in a row and can easily win the upcoming game and provide great odds in the process as road Underdogs. The problem is that they face a Wild team that looks like one of the best in the Western Conference and looks to control this game from the opening puck drop. The Wild, who average 3.10 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Wild, who allow only 2.87 goals per game, should also limit the Senators' offense with Jared Spurgeon, Jacob Middleton, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Filip Gustavsson to make plenty of easy saves. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Islanders v. Golden Knights -160 | 5-2 | Loss | -160 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Knights are topping the Pacific Division and have the best record in the Western Conference. However, they’ve only won one of their previous five games at T-Mobile Arena, and the fans will demand a victory when the Islanders come to town. Vegas is arguably a better offensive team than the Islanders, who rank 22nd in the league in 5-on-5 high-danger scoring chances. The Golden Knights need to remain focused and disciplined, as they commit the fewest penalty minutes per game. The Islanders have to deal with fatigue on the second day of a back-to-back, so I’m going with Vegas to win even though Jack Eichel (G13, A16) is on injured reserve. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Predators v. Avalanche -160 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators are looking to snap out of their losing streak but the Avalanche look to bounce back from a rough loss and dominate this game on their home ice. The Avalanche, who average 3.04 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Mikko Rantanen, J.T. Compher, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes while Cale Makar and Devon Toews generate shots on the net from the blue line. Speaking of Makar and Toews, they should lead an Avalanche defense that is only allowing 2.82 goals per game and limit the Predators offense, which is scoring only 2.46 goals per game by creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to make plenty of big saves. The Avalanche should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Sabres -168 v. Coyotes | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Coyotes are looking to win on their home ice but I like the Sabres to build off two strong wins and dominate this game on the road. The Sabres, who average 3.93 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will with Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes near the net. The Sabres should also limit a Coyotes offense that averages only 2.74 goals per game with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Craig Anderson steps up and blanks the shots on the net. The Sabres should win the game with a strong performance on the road to win their third game in a row. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Rangers -167 v. Flyers | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Even though the Flyers snapped a four-game slide on Thursday, beating the New Jersey Devils 2-1, it is quite difficult to look beyond the fact that Philadelphia was still outshot by a double (49-24), had a tremendous performance by its goalie Carter Hart and won largely because of a cross-ice pass go-wrong by New Jersey’s defenceman Damon Severson. Three wins in 19 games is a terrible statistic for the Flyers, who, based on just current form, are no match for the Rangers. New York is riding a five-game winning run, having triumphed by more than one snipe in three of those matchups, and is an excellent 5-0-1 in its most recent six meetings with Philadelphia, having beaten the Flyers by a margin of at least two tallies in three of those fixtures. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Sabres v. Avalanche -175 | 4-2 | Loss | -175 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sabres boast the highest-scoring offense in the league, but their defense has been pretty much awful thus far. On the other side, the Avs haven’t impressed offensive-wise, and MacKinnon’s absence is a massive blow for the reigning champs, but their defense is doing a good job. Hereof, I’m expecting to see a tight battle between Buffalo and Colorado. The Avs would be my pick only because of their blue line. A couple of weeks ago, the Avalanche outshot the Sabres 33-28 in a 6-4 victory. MacKinnon scored two goals and had three assists. Colorado is undefeated in eight straight meetings with the Sabres, who have dropped 13 of their previous 19 games overall. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Blues v. Oilers -155 | 4-3 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers are undoubtedly a much better offensive team than the Blues. Both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are coming off strong performances, and I’m expecting more of the same when the Oilers square off against the Blues. Edmonton will be fired up to get revenge for a shutout home loss against St. Louis, while Stuart Skinner will aim for his second straight victory over the Blues. Skinner has gone 5-2-0 over his previous seven starts. The Oilers have scored 20 goals in their last four games and are 5-1 in their previous six showings on the home ice. The Blues, on the other side, are 2-4 in their last six outings on the road. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | Canucks v. Flames -171 | 4-3 | Loss | -171 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames have lost their last three games, making it easy to think that the Canucks will pull off the upset and provide great odds in the process. However, with the Flames returning to their home ice, they look to step up and control this game from the opening puck drop. The Flames look to rebound after scoring only six goals in their last three games and pile on the goals with Nazem Kadri, Tyler Toffoli, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Flames also look to limit a Canucks offense that was shut out in their last game with Nikita Zadorov, MacKenzie Weegar, and the rest of the defensive unit stepping up and creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jacob Markstrom to make plenty of big saves. The Flames should win the game with a much-needed bounce-back performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-14-22 | Red Wings v. Wild -225 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The improvement the Red Wings have shown this season is undeniable. Still, the team has currently found itself in a bit of a slide, having registered just two victories in its past eight matchups, being on the verge of matching its season-worst run of four consecutive defeats. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back set, with the team having already dropped 40 of its last 59 no-rest decisions, does not help, nor does the loss of top-scorer Dylan Larkin to injury. Minnesota, meanwhile, is enjoying its hockey, with eight triumphs in its previous 11 games serving as a great indication of quality. Besides, the Wild have already beaten the Red Wings in five of their most recent six overall meetings, winning by more than two strikes in three of those fixtures. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Golden Knights v. Jets -135 | 6-5 | Loss | -135 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets offense has stepped up but the defense has been dominant, allowing only 2.56 goals per game with only 12 goals in the last five games. Josh Morrissey and Nate Schmidt have combined for 4.1 defensive point shares and 78 blocked shots while Brenden Dillon, Neal Pionk, and Dylan DeMelo have combined for 4.2 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Moreover, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been great in the net with a .930 save percentage and a 2.33 goals-against average on 700 shots. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Stars v. Devils -145 | 4-1 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense has been great but the defense has also been phenomenal, allowing only 2.33 goals per game. Hamilton and Seigenthaler have combined for 4.8 defensive point shares and 71 blocked shots while John Marino, Ryan Graves, and Damon Severson have combined for 5.1 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Furthermore, backup goaltender Akira Schmidt has stepped up in the net with a .940 save percentage and a 1.70 goals-against average on 133 shots. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Kings v. Sabres -103 | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings look to rebound from a rough loss but I see the Sabres stepping up on their home ice and controlling this game. The Sabres, who average 3.86 goals per game, should pile on the goals against a Kings' defense that is allowing 3.61 goals per game with Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Sabres should also limit the Kings' offense with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net while goaltender Craig Anderson blanks shots on the net. The Sabres should win the game with a much-needed bounce-back performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Stars v. Penguins -121 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins, who average 3.54 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and overwhelming the Stars' defense with speed and quick passes near the net. The Penguins, who allow only 2.96 goals per game, should also limit the Stars' offense with Jan Rutta, Jeff Petry, and the rest of the defensive unit stepping up and creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shooting lanes, allowing goaltender Tristan Jarry to make plenty of easy saves. The Penguins should win the game to win their sixth consecutive game with a strong performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Capitals v. Jets -121 | 5-2 | Loss | -121 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Capitals are looking to extend their winning streak and pull off the upset on the road and provide great odds in the process. The problem is that they face one of the best teams in the Western Conference in the Jets that look to overwhelm them on both ends of the ice. The Jets, who average 3.35 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Kyle Connor, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Jets, who allow only 2.46 goals per game should also limit the Capitals' offense with Josh Morrissey, Neal Pionk, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to make plenty of big saves. The Jets should win the game to win their fifth game in a row with a strong performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-10-22 | Senators v. Predators -129 | 3-2 | Loss | -129 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nashville is currently 11th in the Western Conference with 26 points but only two points behind the current eighth-place team Minnesota. The Predators at home are 7-3-2. Ottawa is next to last in the Eastern Conference. The Senators have just 22 points and are far off the pace for one of the top eight places in the conference. Ottawa is 4-6-2 on the road this season. Ottawa has lost 14 of the last 20 overall and has lost 39 of the last 58 when playing an opponent from the Central division. Nashville dominates this matchup with the Predators winning each of the last seven played on their home ice against Ottawa and nine of the last 12 overall against the Senators. |
|||||||
12-09-22 | Jets -135 v. Blackhawks | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Currently riding a six-game losing streak on own ice, the Blackhawks will be hoping to notch just their second victory in their past 12 outings. Facing off against the Jets, though, is an event Chicago will not be looking forward to. The ‘Hawks have already dropped six of their previous seven decisions against Winnipeg, being beaten by more than one tally in five of those games. A whopping 10 of the most recent 13 overall defeats of the Blackhawks have also been by a margin of at least two markers, while the Jets have triumphed by a goal-gap of at least three (!) snipes in each of their last five wins. |
|||||||
12-09-22 | Penguins -144 v. Sabres | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently one of the hottest teams in the NHL. They are sporting a fantastic 8-1-1 record in their last 10 games and have won three bouts in a row, outscoring the opposition by eight goals in that three-game winning streak. The Sabres are an improved team and can score, but have only won six of their 15 home games on the season. The Penguins are dazzling in the offensive end, recording 14 goals in their last three games and rank fourth in the NHL with an xGF/60 minutes of 3.0 goals. Buffalo's top strength is the goal-scoring but only has an xGF/60 minutes of 2.71 goals at 5 on 5. Also, the Sabres allow a lot of goals, squandering 23 goals in their last five games. |
|||||||
12-08-22 | Kings v. Maple Leafs -165 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense has stepped up but the defense has carried the Maple Leafs, allowing only 2.44 goals per game with only eight goals in the last five games. Mark Giordano and Justin Holl have combined for 3.7 defensive point shares and 101 blocked shots while Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren have combined for 3.0 defensive point shares to give the Maple Leafs two great defensive pairings. In addition, goaltender Ilya Samsonov has been great in the net with a .924 save percentage and a 2.09 goals-against average on 238 shots. |
|||||||
12-07-22 | Bruins -166 v. Avalanche | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense has been dominant but the defense has been great as well, allowing only 2.17 goals per game with only seven goals in the last four games. Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo have combined for 4.4 defensive point shares and 60 blocked shots while Connor Clifton, Matt Grzelcyk, and Charlie McAvoy have combined for 3.9 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. In addition, goaltender Linus Ullmark has been solid in the net with a .936 save percentage and a 1.93 goals-against average on 486 shots. |
|||||||
12-06-22 | Blues v. Islanders -163 | 7-4 | Loss | -163 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues are looking to pull off the upset but playing the second game of a back-to-back, the Islanders look to take advantage of a tired team. The Islanders, who average 3.15 goals per game, should find the back of the net throughout the game with Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement while Noah Dobson and Ryan Pulock generate shots on the net from the blue line. The Islanders, who allow only 2.54 goals per game, should also limit a Blues offense that averages only 2.83 goals per game with Adam Pelech, Ryan Pulock, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Ilya Sorokin to make plenty of big saves. The Islanders should win the game with a dominant performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-05-22 | Capitals v. Oilers -145 | 3-2 | Loss | -145 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Capitals look to pull off the upset but the Oilers, who have won four of their last five games, look to control this game on both ends of the ice. The Oilers, who average 3.48 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Oilers should also limit a Capitals offense that has scored only four goals in their last two games with Darnell Nurse, Cody Ceci, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net while Stuart Skinner steps up and blank shots on the net. The Oilers should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Senators v. Rangers -172 | 3-2 | Loss | -172 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators are looking to even up the score and pull off the upset on the road. The problem is that the Rangers have looked promising and look to control this game from the opening puck drop. The Rangers should find the back of the net at will against a Senators defense that is allowing 3.36 goals per game with Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanjad, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Rangers, who allow only 2.79 goals per game, should also limit the Senators' offense with Adam Fox, Ryan Lindgren, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net while goaltender Igor Shesterkin blanks shots on the net. The Rangers should win the game with a dominant performance on their home ice. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Senators v. Kings -148 | 3-2 | Loss | -148 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators finally got a monkey off their backs with that victory on Friday, but they have not been good on the road. While the Kings have not been great at home, Ottawa is 2-6-1 on the road, however, they have won two of their last four road contests, so this club may be finding some answers. The challenge is that they need outstanding goaltending to win on the road. The team is 2-4 on the road in November and allowed 17 goals in the four losses, but only two total goals in the wins. They are not able to find consistent goaltending to shut opponents down and L.A. is solid enough offensively to come away with a two-goal victory. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Blues v. Panthers -190 | 5-4 | Loss | -190 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units There is definitely a difference in the offensive production this season as St. Louis is scoring 2.84 goals while Florida is averaging 3.4 goals m thus far. Thomas Greiss and Spencer Knight are going to be in the net and obviously Knight is the better player on the ice at the position and should dominate in this game. All in all, go with the Florida Panthers |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Jets v. Stars -155 | 5-4 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The home team has had their way between these teams this season. Dallas defeated Winnipeg at home on October 17, 4-1, and the Jets responded with a 5-1 victory at home on November 9. That has given the home team nine victories out of the last 10 meetings between these teams. Dallas also enters this game playing exceptionally well. They have earned points in six straight games, going 4-0-2 in that span. In fact, the club is 7-2-2 in November. They are getting outstanding performances across all four lines, and the goaltending has been spectacular. This is only the fourth game on the road this month for the Jets, and they are 1-2-0 through the first three, with the only victory being in overtime win against Seattle. Not exactly stellar performances. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Blues v. Lightning -170 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning are having a strong season behind an offense that is scoring 3.37 goals per game with 21 goals in the last five games. Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden Point have scored 26 goals and 41 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has been great as well. Alex Killorn, Nick Paul, and Brandon Hagel have combined for 19 goals and 22 assists while defensemen Mikhail Sergachev and Victor Hedman have added five goals and 23 assists from the point to overwhelm opposing defenses. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Hurricanes v. Bruins -150 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It is hard to go against a team that is undefeated at home this season, and Boston has shown no signs of slowing up. The Bruins have completely shut down opponents at TD Garden this month, allowing a single goal in four of their five home contests and have allowed six total goals in five games. That is just ridiculous and is a primary reason why opponents have no chance of winning in Boston. In fact, the team has won all five of their games by at least two goals. Carolina enters this contest slumping. They are winless in their last four, producing six total goals in that span. That is not a good combination against the Boston team that is shutting opponents down while lighting up opposing goaltenders. |
|||||||
11-22-22 | Rangers v. Kings +105 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings are currently enjoying one of their best starts to a season in the last few years, largely due to their solid domestic form, which most recently has brought in five consecutive wins. The Rangers have triumphed on four of their past six travels, but have been quite inconsistent overall, recording just three victories in their previous eight outings, going just 2-5 in their past seven matchups following a win. They have also managed to beat the Kings on just two of the most recent seven occasions, dropping their very last four trips to L.A.. Los Angeles, meanwhile, is 7-2 in its past nine Tuesday games and has been a force against teams from the Metropolitan Division, winning 10 of the previous 14 meetings. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Golden Knights v. Canucks +140 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Knights have managed to gather just a single victory in their most recent four contests. And while their road form has been exceptional throughout the whole current campaign (8-1-1, including 6-0-1 on the last seven travels), the ‘Nucks themselves have done great when playing on own ice, notching a 3-1-1 showing on the past five occasions. Vancouver has also gone with 11 victories in its previous 13 outings played on a two days rest, while Vegas has dropped a whopping seven of its most recent 10 games contested on Mondays. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Oilers v. Devils -148 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils have won 12 straight games and seven of their last eight home games. They have been on a roll offensively, scoring at least four goals in eight of their last 10 games. They have also played well on special teams, converting over 20 percent of their power play opportunities. The Oilers are one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to killing penalties and they gave up at least three goals in eight of their last nine games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Devils. The Oilers have lost five of their last eight games and split their last four road games. |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Rangers -145 v. Sharks | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose has not been a good team at home this season, going 1-6-3 in San Jose. This is why it is not surprising that the Rangers are prohibitive favorites. They have not been great on the road (4-3-1), but have clearly been better away from Madison Square Garden than San Jose has been on their own home ice. The goaltending situation definitely favors the Rangers. Shesterkin has turned into one of the top netminders in the NHL, and the Rangers are a better team 5-on-5. |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Ducks v. Blues -210 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anaheim is a mess, as the Ducks are last in the Pacific Division, 17 points behind first place. Anaheim is next to last in goals against average at 4.24 goals per game and is 29th in scoring with an average of just 2.65 goals per game. St Louis has not played excellent hockey but the Blues are allowing an average of only 3.50 goals per game which is much less than Anaheim is giving up. Anaheim has won only 13 of its last 52 games overall, while St Louis has had much success against teams from the Pacific Division, winning 15 of the last 20 in that situation. The Blues will be riding a five-game winning streak when hosting Anaheim, while the Ducks have lost four of the last five. |

11-19-22 | Flames v. Panthers -127 | 5-4 | Loss | -127 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames hold an excellent recent record against the Panthers, having beaten the Cats on eight of the past 11 occasions. Calgary has, however, struggled to put good-enough performances together lately, managing to win just two of its previous 10 overall fixtures and just one road outing during the current season so far. The Cats, on the other hand, have been solid on own ice throughout the past few campaigns, going 53-16 in their very last 69 domestic matchups. They have triumphed in two of their most recent three home meetings with the Flames and are set to welcome back Aleksander Barkov, who is likely to return from a non-Covid-related illness. He has amassed nine points (2 goals, 7 assists) in 12 career contests against Calgary |

11-17-22 | Ducks v. Jets -199 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense has stepped up but the defense has been one of the best in the league, allowing only 2.36 goals per game with only eight goals in the last five games. Josh Morrissey and Brenden Dillon have combined for 2.1 defensive point shares and 42 blocked shots while Nate Schmidt, Neal Pionk, and Dylan DeMelo have combined for 2.5 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. Furthermore, goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has been great in the net with a .935 save percentage and a 2.08 goals-against average on 356 shots. |
|||||||
11-16-22 | Kings v. Oilers -132 | 3-1 | Loss | -132 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kings have failed to win any of their last three road contests, posting just a single win on their most recent six trips. That will definitely be a problem when facing off against the Oilers, who, despite dropping their previous two home matchups, have still recorded a whopping 12 triumphs in their most recent 16 encounters with Los Angeles in Edmonton. The Oilers have also beaten the Kings on seven of the past 10 occasions overall, winning by more than one strike in five of those outings. |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Capitals v. Panthers -195 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 1 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Florida Panthers backup goalie Spencer Knight is seeing much more action and is 5-2-0 with a 2.3 1 goals-against average and is expected to be between the pipes again on Tuesday night when the Panthers host Washington. In seven appearances, Knight has one shutout and has allowed three goals or less in 6 of 7 starts. Florida has dominated this matchup, winning four of the last five games overall between the two and four of the last five games played on their home ice against the Capitals. The visiting team, in this case, Washington, has lost seven of the last 10 games between the two. |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Canucks v. Sabres -103 | 5-4 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams are desperate to snap out of their losing streaks but I like the Sabres to snap out of their slump on their home ice. The Sabres should pile on the goals against a Canucks defense that allows 4.06 goals per game with Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with strong centering passes. The Sabres should also limit the Canucks offense with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers at the blue line and limiting the Canucks from establishing a strong offensive zone presence while goaltender Eric Comrie makes plenty of big saves in the net. |
|||||||
11-14-22 | Kings v. Flames -170 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames have looked promising to start the season but hope the offense can step up, scoring only 2.93 goals per game. Nazem Kadri, Tyler Toffoli, and Elias Lindholm have scored 17 goals and 15 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only four skaters have scored five goals or more while only five skaters have added five assists or more to the offense and opposing defenses can limit the top-heavy offense as result. |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Capitals v. Lightning -171 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Things did not go Tampa Bay’s way on Friday, when pucks refused to go into opposing Washington’s net and the team’s power play remained stale (0-for-3; 1-for-10 in the last three games). A return to Amalie Arena, though, will be highly appreciated, as the Bolts have already posted a decent 3-1-1 record in their most recent five domestic fixtures and will once again be facing off against the Capitals, who have only managed to win two of their past five trips to Tampa. Currently holding just two triumphs in its last seven outings overall, having posted just a single victory on its previous four travels. |
|||||||
11-13-22 | Sharks v. Wild -227 | 3-2 | Loss | -227 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fleury had a 3.71 goals-against average while starting 1-2-1 but owns a 1.70 GAA while winning five of seven since for the Wild, who hope to improve on a 2-4-0 home mark. In his last 11 starts against San Jose, with Vegas, Chicago and Minnesota, Fleury is 9-1-1 with a 1.54 GAA. Backup Filip Gustavsson (1-3-0, 3.10 GAA) has never faced San Jose. The Wild have won two straight and five of the last six against the Sharks, who ended their 2-3-0 slide with Friday's 5-4 victory at Dallas. San Jose ranks near the bottom of the NHL by allowing 58 goals, with 28 coming in the last six games. However, the Sharks have scored 23 times during that span, while coming out of a hostile environment in Dallas with just their fourth win in 16 games could potentially spark a needed run. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Blues v. Golden Knights -205 | 3-2 | Loss | -205 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While St. Louis has to feel good after finally getting that big monkey off their backs, this is still a team who has lost four straight games on the road and has been handled in each of those losses, outscored 18-4. They are playing poorly away from St. Louis, scoring two goals or fewer in five of their road games. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights are looking untouchable. This is a team coming off an impressive five-game, East Coast road trip that saw the club win in Washington, Ottawa, Montréal, Toronto, and Buffalo. In their last three home contests, they have outscored opponents 9-2 and have yet to give up more than three goals at home this season. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Penguins v. Canadiens +158 | 4-5 | Win | 158 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canadiens have won back-to-back games and I see them stepping up and controlling this game on their home ice. The Canadiens should pile on the goals against a Penguins defense that is allowing 3.46 goals per game with Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Oilers v. Panthers -165 | 4-2 | Loss | -165 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers have lost four of their last five games and two of their last three road games. Even though they are playing well offensively, expect them to struggle in this game because the Panthers are playing well defensively, giving up five goals in their last three home games. They’ve also done well on special teams, killing 75 percent of their penalties, and won’t have trouble keeping Edmonton’s offense in check. The Panthers have won three of their last four games and three straight home games. They are playing well offensively, scoring at least four goals in three of their last four games. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Senators v. Flyers +120 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators have lost seven straight games and all five road games they have played this season. Even though they continue to play well offensively, they will struggle in this game because the Flyers have done a good job defensively, holding opponents under three goals per game. They’ve also done well on special teams, killing 83.7 percent of their penalties, and will keep Ottawa’s offense in check. The Flyers have won two of their last three games and two of their last three home games. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Wild v. Seattle Kraken +104 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kraken are currently enjoying the best form of their existence, riding a franchise-record five-game winning run. And that will definitely be a problem for Minnesota, which has struggled against opponents from the Western Conference of late, managing to register just three triumphs on the last 10 occasions. The Wild were already blanked with a count of 4-0 on own ice by Seattle just two games ago and have posted a disappointing 1-5 total in their most recent six fixtures versus sides with a winning record. The Kraken, meanwhile, are playing with tremendous confidence and have notched nine wins in their past 13 outings against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Sharks v. Stars -220 | 5-4 | Loss | -220 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Stars have looked like one the best teams in the Western Conference and I see them not only defeating the Stars but doing so in a dominant fashion. The Stars, who average 3.62 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will with Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick puck movement to overwhelm a Sharks defense that allows 3.29 goals per game. |
|||||||
11-10-22 | Flames v. Bruins -189 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bruins have won eight of their last nine games and seven straight home games. They have played well offensively this season, scoring at least four goals in five of their last six games. They’ve done a great job on special teams, converting 26.7 percent of their power play opportunities. The Flames aren’t very good defensively and they struggled in recent games, giving up at least four goals in four of their last five games and will have a hard time slowing down the Bruins, so go with Boston to cover the money line. |
|||||||
11-10-22 | Senators v. Devils -180 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ottawa has dropped six straight games as their defensive zone play has been dismal, overshadowing what has been a prolific offensive attack. The Senators are winless on the road this season (0-4-0) and have dropped six straight games. Meanwhile, New Jersey has ripped off seven straight wins to climb to the top of the Metropolitan Division. Their youth movement has paid dividends and Vanecek has been solid between the pipes after coming over as a free agent in the offseason. New Jersey is 5-2-0 on home ice and are rolling right now. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Penguins v. Capitals +119 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pittsburgh enjoyed a 4-0-1 start to the season before its troubles began with a 6-3 setback against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct. 24. That result started a disastrous 0-6-1 run, marking the Penguins' longest winless stretch since Jan. 26-Feb. 8, 2006. To put that into context: A then-18-year-old Sidney Crosby was playing in his rookie season. Washington won three of the four meetings between the Metropolitan Division rivals last season. Ovechkin (one goal, four assists) and Kuznetsov (three goals, two assists) each had five points in the season series, while Crosby had four assists. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Predators v. Seattle Kraken -116 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both Nashville and Seattle are struggling to defend, though Martin Jones has turned the corner after a horrible start to the season. The Kraken are 5-1 in their previous six games overall, while the Predators have only won five of their last 17 games at any location. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Oilers v. Lightning -163 | 3-2 | Loss | -163 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Edmonton is going to have their work cut out for them here with the second game of a back-to-back and their third game in four nights. The Oilers entered Monday unbeaten on the road but facing a Lightning team that has seemingly found their stride is going to be a daunting task for them. Tampa Bay has been good with a 4-0-1 mark in their last five games and they are always tough at home. The Lightning are 3-1-1 on home ice this season and we know how dangerous Vasilevskiy is playing at the Amalie Arena. Give the edge to Tampa Bay as fatigue gets the better of the Oilers in crunch time. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Blues v. Flyers +112 | 1-5 | Win | 112 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues have lost six straight games and two of their last three road games. They have struggled offensively, scoring only 10 goals in their last six games. Even though the Flyers have also struggled in recent games, they continue to play good defense, giving up only six goals in their last three games. They’ve also played well on special teams, killing 82.1 percent of their penalties, and will keep St. Louis’ offense in check. The Flyers struggled offensively during their road trip, but they have played well at home where they scored seven goals in their last two games. They’ve also taken advantage of their power play opportunities, converting 20 percent of their chances. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Flames v. Devils -131 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils look like one of the best teams in the league and look to once again overwhelm the Flames on both ends of the ice. The Devils, who average 3.67 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with speed on the wing. The Devils, who allow only 2.58 goals per game, should also limit the Flames with John Marino, Ryan Graves, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in all three zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Vitek Vanecek to make plenty of big saves. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Coyotes v. Sabres -190 | 4-1 | Loss | -190 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Coyotes are looking to build off a recent win and pull off an upset on the road. The problem is that the Sabres are looking to bounce back from two rough losses and control this game from the opening puck drop. The Sabres, who average 4.08 goals per game, should find the back of the net at will with Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Sabres should also limit a Coyotes offense that is scoring only 2.82 goals per game with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and the rest of the unit stepping up and creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net. |
|||||||
11-07-22 | Blues v. Bruins -178 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bruins are having a great season with their offense scoring 4.17 goals per game including 21 goals in the last five games. David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron have scored 12 goals and 17 assists while defenseman Hampus Lindholm is adding four goals and nine assists from the point but the rest of the offense has also been great. Taylor Hall, Jake DeBrusk, and David Krejci have combined for 11 goals and 15 assists while Charlie Coyle, Nick Foligno, and Pavel Zacha have added 10 goals and 11 assists to the backend of the forward unit, giving the Bruins multiple great forward lines. Additionally, goaltender Linus Ullmark is having a great season in the net with a .929 save percentage and a 2.16 goals-against average on 283 shots. |
|||||||
11-01-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Flames -220 | 5-4 | Loss | -220 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense has carried the Flames but the defense has also stepped up, allowing only 2.86 goals per game. Michael Stone and Nikita Zadorov have led the top two pairings but the rest of the defense has also stepped up with Rasmus Andersson, MacKenzie Weegar, and the rest of the unit creating turnovers in all three zone and limiting shots on the net. In addition, Jacob Markstrom has stepped up in the net with a .903 save percentage and a 2.60 goals-against average on 144 shots. |
|||||||
11-01-22 | Predators v. Oilers -157 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers are having a great season led by an offense that is scoring 3.78 goals per game including 18 goals in the last four games. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have scored 13 goals and 21 assists to lead the top two lines but the entire offense has been great. Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Evander Kane have scored 13 goals and 17 assists while defensemen Darnell Nurse and Tyson Barrie have added three goals and six assists from the point to overwhelm opposing defenses. |
|||||||
11-01-22 | Bruins +109 v. Penguins | 6-5 | Win | 109 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bruins and Penguins are heading in opposite directions at the moment with the Penguins losers of four straight and the Bruins winners of five straight. Boston currently leads the NHL in goals per game and is also #2 in goals against average and 4th in save percentage. The Penguins are 11th in save percentage and 21st in goals allowed. Boston should have Marchand available in this one which will strengthen their top two lines and make the Bruins' specialty units even better. Marchand makes the second-best penalty-killing unit even better and really gives life to what has been the 13th-best power-play unit. Boston produces a ton of shots on net and should roll against a Penguins team that is floundering right now. |
|||||||
10-31-22 | Capitals v. Hurricanes -168 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 units The Hurricanes are off to a strong start to the season with their offense scoring 3.25 goals per game. Martin Necas and Andrei Svechnikov have scored 12 goals and eight assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has also been great. Jordan Martinook, Stefan Noesen, and Seth Jarvis have combined for four goals and seven assists while defensemen Brent Burns and Brady Skjei have added three goals and eight assists from the point to overwhelm opposing defenses. |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Penguins -164 v. Canucks | 1-5 | Loss | -164 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pittsburgh had enough time to rest, while Vancouver will be playing the second of back-to-back games. They didn’t have to travel a lot, though, as they returned from nearby Seattle, but still, the Penguins have the advantage in that regard. That’s not the only upper hand the Penguins had. Pittsburgh has the highest-scoring offense in the NFL and will face one of the worst defensive teams. After scoring just four goals in total in two losses to Edmonton and Calgary, I expect the visitors to bounce back with at least four in this one. That’s shouldn’t be a problem as the Canucks allowed 4+ goals in six of their eight games this season. |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Avalanche -130 v. Devils | 0-1 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 units The offense has been great but the defense hopes to improve, allowing 3.14 goals per game. Ryan Graves and John Marino have combined for 1.2 defensive point shares and 14 blocked shots to lead the top two pairings but the rest of the defense has struggled, allowing opponents to easily find open shots on the net. Furthermore, goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood has struggled in the net with a .871 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average on 101 shots. |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Islanders v. Hurricanes -184 | 6-2 | Loss | -184 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hurricanes are off to a great start to the season with their offense stepping up and scoring 3.33 goals per game. Andrei Svechnikov, Martin Necas, and Stefan Noesen have scored 10 goals and 11 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has also stepped up. Seth Jarvis, Teuvo Teravainen, and Jordan Martinook have combined for three goals and five assists while defensemen Brent Burns and Brady Skjei have added a goal and six assists from the blue line to overwhelm opposing defenses. |
|||||||
10-27-22 | Canadiens v. Sabres -160 | 3-2 | Loss | -160 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Canadiens have lost four of their last six games and both road games they have played. They have struggled offensively so far, especially on the road where they are averaging 0.5 goals per game. They’ve also struggled on special teams, converting only 4.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Things won’t get easier for them in this game because the Sabres have played well defensively, especially at home, and they’ve done a great job killing penalties, so don’t expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Canadiens. |
|||||||
10-27-22 | Red Wings v. Bruins -215 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings are off to a great start but the Bruins have looked like one of the best teams in the NHL and I see them controlling the game in all three zones. The Bruins, who average 4.14 goals per game, should pile on the goals with David Pastrnak, Patrice Bergeron, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with great centering passes while Hampus Lindholm generates shots on the net from the blue line. The Bruins, who allow only 2.86 goals per game, should also limit the Red Wings' offense with Hampus Lindholm, Connor Clifton, and the rest of the unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing Jeremy Swayman to step up and make plenty of easy saves. |

10-26-22 | Lightning -135 v. Ducks | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anaheim and coach Dallas Eakins are off to a slow start in their fourth season together: The Ducks have one win and three points after six games. They also own the NHL's worst goal-differential mark at minus-14, a pace that comes out to minus-191 over the 82-game season. Since beating the Seattle Kraken on home ice to open the new campaign, the Ducks are 0-4-1 and have lost the scoring battle 23-9. After Anaheim fell 5-1 against the Detroit Red Wings to close out a five-game road trip on Sunday, first-year Ducks center Ryan Strome said he recognizes the problem but added it's up to him and his new teammates to fix it. |
|||||||
10-26-22 | Rangers v. Islanders -130 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders have the rest factor, which is always important in hockey. The Isles are also 4-0 their last 4 playing on two day's rest. They are also 6-2 in the last 8 in this series. This game is also about goaltending and the Islanders have the edge with Sorokin in net, who has been much sharper this season. |
|||||||
10-24-22 | Capitals v. Devils -125 | 6-3 | Loss | -125 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Jersey has gotten solid goaltending work out of Blackwood, who is 3-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA in the early going this season. The Devils have a lot of young talent along with the infusion of veteran leadership in the form of Ondrej Palat. Washington can’t afford to go down multiple goals in this game because it will be a challenge to get back in the game. Give the upper hand to the Devils at home as they make it four straight wins. |
|||||||
10-23-22 | Islanders v. Panthers -188 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 units The New York Islanders face the Florida Panthers with both teams heading in opposite directions to start the season. The Islanders are 2-3 and have lost back-to-back games while the Panthers have a 3-1-1 record and look like one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. The two teams met earlier this season with the Panthers winning 3-1 but the Islanders are looking to even up the score and return to .500 on the season. |
|||||||
10-22-22 | Wild v. Bruins -109 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 units The Bruins are starting to get some players back, including Grzelcyk who should help the defensive pairings. Thus far, the Bruins seem to be generating offense despite the absence of 2021-22 leading scorer Marchand. David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron have led the way with eight and six points respectively and Jake DeBrusk has three goals and five points since returning from injury. The Wild have struggled on the defensive end, allowing 5.75 GAA and saving just .833% of shots on their net. Meanwhile, the Wild are only converting on 10% of their shots on goal compared with 12% for the Bruins. Boston has better special teams, is better off the draw and stronger defensively. |

10-21-22 | Lightning v. Panthers -105 | 3-2 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning are off to a slow start with their offense scoring only 10 goals in their first four games. While Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, and Brayden Point have combined for seven goals and seven assists to lead the top two lines, the rest of the offense has struggled. The Panthers are having a great start to the season with their offense stepping up and scoring 3.50 goals per game. Matthew Tkachuk, Colin White, and Sam Bennett have scored five goals and nine assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has also stepped up. Aleksander Barkov, Eetu Luostarinen, and Carter Verhaeghe have combined for three goals and six assists while defensemen Gustav Forsling and Radko Gudas have added one goal and five assists from the point to open up the offense. |
|||||||
10-20-22 | Devils v. Islanders -149 | 4-1 | Loss | -149 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Devils are looking to build off a strong win and pull off the upset in the upcoming game. The problem is that the Islanders have played great recently and look to control this game from the first period. The Islanders, who have scored 12 goals in the last two games, should pile on the goals with Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with quick passes while Noah Dobson fires shots on the net from the blue line. The Islanders also look to limit the Devils' offense with Adam Pelech, Ryan Pulock, and the rest of the defense creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Ilya Sorokin to make plenty of big saves. The Islanders should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice. |

10-19-22 | Blues -120 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Blues, who opened with a 5-2 victory against visiting Columbus on Saturday by scoring three unanswered goals in the third period, will return to the ice tonight in Seattle, opening a three-game trip that includes stops in Edmonton and Winnipeg. The Blues won all three games against the expansion Kraken last season, outscoring them 11-2. The Kraken opened the season by taking three of a possible four points on a Southern California swing to Anaheim and Los Angeles, but have struggled since returning home to Climate Pledge Arena. They fell behind by five goals in a 5-2 loss to Vegas on Saturday, then dropped a 5-1 decision to Carolina on Monday. |

10-18-22 | Kings v. Predators -150 | 4-3 | Loss | -150 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators are coming off back-to-back losses and are looking to make a statement on their home ice and as a result, look to control this game from the opening puck drop. The Predators' offense looks to step up and pile on the goals against a Kings’ defense that allows 4.67 goals per game with Nino Niederreiter, Ryan Johansen, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and finds open shots on the net while Roman Josi steps up and fires shots on the net from the blue line. The Predators also look to step up on the defensive end of the ice with Roman Josi, Dante Fabbro, and the rest of the unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Juuse Saros to step up and make big saves throughout the game. The Predators should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice. |

10-15-22 | Lightning v. Penguins -140 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The offense carried the Penguins but the defense also stepped up, allowing only two goals in the opening night win. Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin led the top pairing but the entire unit stepped up with Jeff Petry, Marcus Pettersson, and the rest of the defense creating turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while also limiting shots on the net. Additionally, goaltender Tristan Jarry looks to build off a start where he saved 26 of the 28 shots he faced. |

10-14-22 | Rangers +113 v. Jets | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York played well defensively, giving up one goal in their win over the Lightning. They also did a good job on special teams, killing 83.3 percent of their penalties. They will need another solid defensive effort if they want to get the win. In his last start, Igor Shesterkin saved 25 of the 26 shots he faced, finishing the game with a 1.01 GAA and a .962 save percentage. He is 3-0-0 in three games against the Jets with a 0.69 GAA and a .983 save percentage. |

10-13-22 | Stars v. Predators -130 | 4-1 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While the offense has stepped up, the defense has been dominant early on this year, allowing only three goals in the first two games. Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier have led the top pairing but Ryan McDonagh, Mattias Ekholm, and Dante Fabbro have also stepped up to help round out the defense. Moreover, goaltender Juuse Saros had a remarkable first start of the season where he saved 30 of the 31 shots he faced. |
|||||||
10-12-22 | Bruins v. Capitals -131 | 5-2 | Loss | -131 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams come in banged up but the Bruins will have more to overcome in this one without their #1 defenseman in McAvoy and arguably their best winger on both the power play and penalty kill in Marchand. Montgomery wants to instill a defensive mindset for the Bruins but losing two key pieces that protect the back line will impact the Bruins for much of the first month of the season. Washington comes in banged up as well but has the firepower to do damage against the depleted Bruins' defense. Expect a fairly tight game but one that will be controlled by the Capitals. The Caps have a number of key veterans on expiring deals that will come out with something to prove this season. The first team to face their wrath will be Boston. |

06-24-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche -171 | 3-2 | Loss | -171 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning are hoping to extend this series and should put together their best performance of the series as a result. The problem is that the Avalanche have controlled this series in all three zones and with the Stanley Cup in the building, they look to close out the series on their home ice. The Avalanche, who have averaged 4.5 goals per game in the playoffs, should constantly find the back of the net with Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement in the offensive zone to catch the Lightning defense out of position. The Avalanche should also build off a Game Four where they only allowed two goals and limit the Lightning offense with Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Darcy Kuemper to step up and make plenty of big saves in the net. The Avalanche should win Game Five to win the Stanley Cup Final with a strong game on their home ice. |
|||||||
06-22-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning +100 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Avalanche are looking to bounce back after Game Three and take a 3-1 series lead. The problem is that the Lightning have taken the momentum of the series after a decisive victory and look to once again overwhelm the Avalanche in all three zones. The Lightning look to build off a six-goal game and constantly find the back of the net with Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Lightning, who allowed only two goals in the recent game also look to limit the Avalanche offense with Victor Hedman, Mikhail Sergachev, and the rest of the unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to once again step up and make plenty of big saves. The Lightning should win Game Four to even up the series with a decisive victory on their home ice. |
|||||||
06-20-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning -106 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Avalanche have controlled the series thus far and look to win the upcoming game to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. The problem is that the Lightning return to their home ice and look to bounce back with their backs to the wall in the series. The Lightning offense should rebound after being shutout in Game Two and pile on the goals with Nikita Kucherov, Ondrej Palat, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots on the net with great centering passes. The Lightning should also limit the Avalanche offense with Victor Hedman, Jan Rutta, and the rest of the defensive unit stepping up at the blue line to limit the Avalanche from creating open shots on the rush while also limiting shooting lanes, allowing goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to step up and blanks shots on the net. The Lightning should win Game Three in a much-needed bounce-back performance. |
|||||||
06-18-22 | Lightning +138 v. Avalanche | 0-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Avalanche controlled the majority of Game One and look to win once again on their home ice to take a 2-0 series lead. The problem is that the Lightning flipped the momentum of Game One and after forcing overtime, look to step up and overwhelm the Avalanche on both ends of the ice. The Lightning, who scored twice in the second period, should find the back of the net throughout the game with Steven Stamkos, Ondrej Palat, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement and strong passes near the net. The Lightning should also limit the Avalanche offense with Victor Hedman, Jan Rutta, and the rest of the defensive unit stepping up and creating turnovers at the blue line while cutting off angles to the net on the rush to limit the Avalanche speed, allowing goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to once again step up and make plenty of big saves in the net. The Lightning should win Game Two to even up the series while providing great odds in the process as road Underdogs. |

06-11-22 | Rangers v. Lightning -195 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning, who snapped New York's eight-game home winning streak on Thursday, have won six straight home games. Two of their three wins this round have come on late goals by Palat, who became the first player in NHL history to score a playoff game-winning goal in the last two minutes twice in the same year. The Lightning also scored a late winner against the Florida Panthers last round. The Lightning have an 8-2 record of closing out a series that they lead 3-2. The Rangers have a 7-19 mark when trailing by that margin. Teams that win Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in Stanley Cup playoffs have gone on to win the series 78.5 percent of the time (223-61). The Lightning have the upper hand and deserve it with the way they played the last three games. |

06-05-22 | Rangers v. Lightning -174 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning have lost back-to-back playoff games for the first time in nearly three years, and it is going to be a massive challenge for the New York Rangers to make it three in a row. Tampa heads back home where it has been strong in the postseason thus far, going 4-1 at Amalie Arena. The Lightning have not played their best hockey in this series, but all we have seen from them in the last two postseasons is how resilient this group is. One player to keep your eyes on for them is Nikita Kucherov. In the first two games, Kucherov has only recorded one goal and one assist, and I don’t know if the Rangers will be able to continuously shut him down. He has been an incredible playoff performer in his entire career, so I imagine that he will start to get back into stride at some point soon. Andrei Vasilevskiy had a much better showing in Game 2 than what we saw in Game 1, and I have a feeling he will look even sharper on home ice. Vasilevskiy and Igor Shesterkin are essentially neck and neck when it comes to statistics so neither team really has a goaltending advantage. Tampa is going to come out of the gate with a ton of fight today and it is tough to bet against the two-time defending champs on home ice with their backs against the wall. |

06-04-22 | Avalanche v. Oilers +118 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers have fared well when their backs have been against the wall. However, Colorado may be too tall of a task. While Edmonton has a deep and powerful roster, it is not as sound defensively, nor in net, as Colorado. Also, the Avalanche’s offensive depth is just a bit more dangerous. Mike Smith has shown that even at the ripe age of 40, the playoffs won’t phase him. The problem he’s been unpredictable and lacked consistency. Francouz can be a wild card here, too. Coming on in relief in Game 1, he nearly let the Oilers come back from a large deficit. In Game 2, he only faced 24 shots and seven high-danger chances, which means the Avs did an exceptional job protecting him. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the home team take a victory here. Not only were the Oilers elite in front of their home fans during the season, but in the postseason, they’ve taken care of business with a 4-1-1 home record. While I think Colorado takes this series, I think the Oilers make things a wee-bit interesting with a Game 3 victory. |

06-03-22 | Lightning -118 v. Rangers | 2-3 | Loss | -118 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning opened the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday by falling behind in just 71 seconds, then spent the latter part of the game watching the New York Rangers cruise to a 6-2 victory. While the cause of Tampa Bay's sub-par defensive performance might be traced back to a nine-day layoff, the Lightning are not making excuses. If anything, the Rangers now have the full attention of the two-time defending champions. The Lightning are coming off their first playoff loss since dropping Game 5 of the opening round against the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 10. They finished off the Maple Leafs with consecutive one-goal victories and then outscored the Florida Panthers by a 13-3 margin in the second round during an impressive four-game sweep. Additionally, Tampa Bay has won 18 straight playoff games following a loss. |
|||||||
06-01-22 | Lightning v. Rangers +115 | 2-6 | Win | 115 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning have won 10 straight postseason series, but are amid their longest break in between series since also getting nine days off following a second-round sweep of the Washington Capitals in 2011. They ended up losing the conference finals to the Boston Bruins in seven games. New York is in the conference finals for the first time since 2015 when it lost in seven games to Tampa Bay. The only remaining player from that group is Chris Kreider, who scored two of his eight postseason goals in Monday's 6-2 rout at Carolina in Game 7 of the second round. Kreider finished with 52 goals during the regular season as the Rangers produced 27 comeback wins four years after telling season ticket holders a rebuild was set to begin. Five times over the first two rounds of these playoffs, the Rangers have pulled off victories when facing elimination against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Hurricanes. Goalie Igor Shesterkin helped the Rangers reach this point by improving his performances. Since being pulled in Game 4 during the first round, he is 7-3 with a .939 save percentage, a 2.09 goals-against average and capped the series with 37 saves Monday. Additionally Igor Shesterkin was 3-0 with a 1.30 GAA vs. the Lightning during the regular season. |

05-30-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -142 | 6-2 | Loss | -142 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Carolina is 7-0 at home through the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs, compared to 0-6 on the road. The Hurricanes had an opportunity to finish the series in Game 6 on Saturday night but lost 5-2 in New York. Raanta is a big reason for Carolina's success at home during the playoffs, however, owning a 6-0 record with a 0.97 goals-against average and .965 save percentage. |
|||||||
05-28-22 | Hurricanes v. Rangers -106 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Carolina is 0-5 on the road against the Hurricanes and their first-round opponent, Boston, and has been outscored 21-8 in those games. The Hurricanes advanced to the brink of finishing the series by turning in their finest performance of the postseason with Thursday's win. New York won three elimination games in the first round to get past the Pittsburgh Penguins and is on a five-game home winning streak since its triple overtime loss in the playoff opener. Igor Shesterkin prevented Game 5 from being more lopsided by making 31 saves. The Rangers are hoping to clean it up defensively in front of Shesterkin, who made 43 saves in Game 3 and 30 in Game 4 and made 99 saves in three elimination games against Pittsburgh. |

05-26-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -150 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Carolina hopes to morph back into the good doctor at home today when it plays Game 5 of its Eastern Conference semifinal series against the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes won the first two contests at home in the best-of-seven series before the Rangers stormed back to even the series after a pair of games at New York. Carolina has outscored the opposition by a 22-7 margin at home in the playoffs and boasts a 94.1 percent penalty kill in its own building. Conversely, the Hurricanes have been outscored 21-8 on the road and are just 16-for-23 on the penalty kill (69.6 percent) following Tuesday's 4-1 loss to New York. |

05-24-22 | Flames v. Oilers -106 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Trailing 2-1 in a playoff series is not uncharted territory for the Calgary Flames. They were in this exact situation in their opening-round set with the Dallas Stars before winning three of four games to advance. However, as the Flames prepare for Game 4 of their Western Conference second-round clash at the Edmonton Oilers, they are up against a team that has been dominating play for much of the past two games. On Sunday, the Oilers rode four second-period goals to a 4-1 victory. History will show Evander Kane scored a natural hat trick and Leon Draisaitl set a league record with four assists during that period, but unquestionably the player leading the way is Edmonton captain Connor McDavid, and the onus is on the Flames to find a way to stop him. McDavid, who has amassed 23 points in 10 playoff games, is the first player in NHL history to record nine multi-point games in the first 10 games of a playoff run. Only Wayne Gretzky (29 in 1983, 25 in 1985) and Mario Lemieux (25 in 1992) ever scored more points in the first 10 games of a postseason. |

05-12-22 | Oilers v. Kings +130 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A resilient approach now has the Kings heading into today's home clash against their Pacific Division rival with the opportunity to advance to the next round. After Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory at Edmonton, the Kings have a 3-2 series lead and an opportunity to close out the best-of-seven matchup in their own building. In NHL history, teams that win Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead have an all-time record of 219-58 (.791) in best-of-seven series. Road teams that won Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead have an 82-25 mark (.764). |

05-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Lightning -130 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to win a first-round playoff series for the first time since 2004 tonight when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning for Game 6. Toronto defeated Tampa Bay 4-3 on Tuesday night at home to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. They have lost in the opening round of the playoffs in their five previous tries, as well as in the 2020 qualifying round. Last season, Toronto even led the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 in a first-round series before falling. Additionally, Tampa Bay has won 16 consecutive playoff games following a loss. |
|||||||
05-08-22 | Maple Leafs v. Lightning -115 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs already know how difficult it is to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in back-to-back Stanley Cup playoff games. They will try to accomplish that rare feat when they visit the Lightning in Game 4 of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series tonight. The Lightning are 16-0 in games following a playoff loss over the past three postseasons, a big reason why they've won the past two Stanley Cup titles. Tampa Bay dropped the opener of the best-of-seven series 5-0 at Toronto on Monday, but came back with a 5-3 win in Game 2 on Wednesday. The Maple Leafs moved back ahead 2-1 in the series with a 5-2 victory in Game 3 on Friday night at Tampa. |

05-08-22 | Wild v. Blues -104 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Blues are 21-6 in their last 27 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game, 23-8 in their last 31 vs. Western Conference, and 12-5 in their last 17 vs. Central. In addition, the Wild are 3-10 in the last 13 meetings including 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in St. Louis. |

05-07-22 | Rangers -110 v. Penguins | 4-7 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers have been doing their part on special teams. New York is 2-for-5 on its power play, plus a short-handed goal, while Pittsburgh's power play is 1-for-6. In addition, New York has scored first in each of the first two games, and the Penguins have not led at any point outside of Tuesday's winning goal. The Penguins went into the series without No. 1 goaltender Tristan Jarry and second-line winger Jason Zucker, both with lower-body injuries. Over the first two games, they have lost No. 2 goaltender Casey DeSmith (abdomen), top-pairing defenseman Brian Dumoulin (lower body) and second-line winger Rickard Rakell (upper body). |
