06-01-21 | Lightning v. Hurricanes -110 | 2-1 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 9 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Carolina ML* The Carolina Hurricanes were 23-4 at home this year. They have a great home ice advantage. Tampa Bay is an excellent team, but Carolina has proven they can beat them. The Hurricanes do match up better than most teams against Tampa Bay because of their speed on the ice. Tampa Bay has the goalie advantage, but Carolina has a lot of depth. The Hurricanes badly need a win here. This contest means more to Carolina than Tampa Bay. The home team is 15-7 in the last 22 games in this series. We're getting a cheap price on a desperate team that has been amazing at home. Take Carolina. |
|||||||
05-01-21 | Stars +100 v. Predators | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Dallas Stars ML* The Dallas Stars made a run all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals last year. They are now fighting hard to get back in the playoffs this year. The team just ahead of them is the Nashville Predators. Dallas has a more talented roster on the whole, but they have struggled with inconsistency and COVID issues really hurt this team early in the season. The Stars advanced statistics look much better in recent weeks, and this is a team that still has a very high ceiling. Nashville is playing their worst hockey of the season of late according to advanced statistics. Saros has stood on his head and covered up some of those weaknesses in some recent wins, but this team is clearly flawed. Nashville is the more banged up team of these two now, and I think Dallas' best hockey is better than Nashville's best. Dallas badly needs this game. Take Dallas. |
|||||||
04-26-21 | Panthers -117 v. Predators | 1-4 | Loss | -117 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Florida Panthers ML* The Nashville Predators are a good team, but they haven't been good when stepping up in class. Nashville is 3-13 in their last 16 games vs. a team with a win percentage of 60% or higher. Florida is one of those teams. The Panthers have been playing great hockey of late. They have only been outshot (shots on goal) by their opponents in one game in their last ten and that was by a single shot on goal. Nashville has been outshot in six of their last seven contests. Nashville's penalty kill has been terrible this year, and Florida excels in this area. The Predators don't have that much offensive firepower, and Florida is a tough team to shut down. Nashville is 2-10 in their last 12 games as a home underdog. Take Florida here. |
|||||||
04-08-21 | Stars -111 v. Blackhawks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play Dallas ML* The Dallas Stars lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in their last game. They had a ton of high percentage scoring chances in that game, but didn't capitalize. The Stars actually were given a 69.3% chance of winning on the deserve to win model at MoneyPuck from the advanced metrics. Chicago is 1-6 in their last 7 following a win. They have proven to not be a team to back in this kind of situation. The Blackhawks have a questionable defense and I think the Stars will do a better job with their scoring chances on Thursday night. Take Dallas. |
|||||||
04-01-21 | Penguins v. Bruins -128 | 4-1 | Loss | -128 | 15 h 15 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Bruins ML* The Pittsburgh Penguins are on a nice winning streak, but according to advanced metrics they have been quite fortunate in their recent wins. Moneypuck believes that their last three opponents deserved to have won given the quality of scoring chances and all aspects of the game. Boston has outshot five straight opponents. The Penguins have been outshot in three straight games. The home team is a whopping 22-5 in the last 27 meetings between these two. The Penguins are 2-14 in their last 16 games in Boston. Take Boston. |
|||||||
03-23-21 | Panthers -140 v. Blackhawks | 2-3 | Loss | -140 | 18 h 44 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Panthers ML* The Florida Panthers are a top five team in the NHL. Florida isn't afraid to go on the road either. The Panthers are 10-3-0-1 on the road. They are on the road here against a Chicago team that has been falling apart in recent games. Chicago is a team that was flagged by many in the analytics community as overrated a few weeks ago. They have been right thus far. Their goalie play was considered a major question mark going into the season. Lankinen played above all expectations for a while, but has slowed down of late. Chicago's defense in front of him is very weak. Florida has all kinds of offensive firepower. The Panthers average a whopping 34.8 shots per game (2nd in the NHL). Chicago is allowing 33.9 shots per game which is worst in the NHL. Chicago is also banged up right now. Their depth is lacking. I think this is a top five team up against a bottom ten team in the NHL. Take Florida. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Blue Jackets v. Predators -118 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 53 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Nashville ML* The Columbus Blue Jackets have been fortunate this year according to the advanced metrics. Columbus doesn't create high quality scoring chances. The Blue Jackets aren't nearly as talented as they have been in some of their recent seasons. Nashville isn't as good as they were in previous seasons either, but I see them as the better team of these two. The Predators are in a great situational spot here. They are coming off a bad loss to Detroit, so we should see them focused in this one. Lay the short price. Take Nashville. |
|||||||
02-09-21 | Sharks -110 v. Kings | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on the Sharks ML* The LA Kings have a star in Kopitar, but no one else is playing well for this team right now. They are getting outshot on a nightly basis, and they aren't creating many high percentage scoring chances. San Jose isn't a great team by any means either, but the Sharks do enter this game being more competitive than LA. The Sharks are getting two more shots on goal per game than the Kings. San Jose is also good on the penalty kill. San Jose is clearly the healthier of the two teams. The Kings have several key players out right now. Take San Jose. |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Flames -115 v. Jets | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Calgary Flames ML* The Winnipeg Jets are overvalued in my opinion. They have a good goalie and in any one game they can put up a great performance, but on the whole this team has too many weaknesses especially on the back line. Calgary has been good on power plays and that should be key in this contest. The Flames were beaten in the first contest between these two and I think they can get their revenge in this one. Winnipeg has a lot of injuries and Dubois is still quarantined. Take Calgary. |
|||||||
01-28-21 | Penguins v. Bruins -118 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 32 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Bruins ML* I see the Boston Bruins as a top five or six team in the NHL. The Pittsburgh Penguins are playing like a team that is barely above average right now. Boston has a massive goaltender advantage here. The Bruins are also looking much better on offense of late. While Boston only won 3-2 in the meeting earlier this week, advanced metrics suggest Boston had the much better scoring chances and the Bruins likely should have won easier than they did. Pittsburgh is banged up and Boston is playing really well right now. Take Boston. |
|||||||
01-26-21 | Rangers v. Sabres -105 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Buffalo* The advanced metrics suggest Buffalo is better than their record indicates right now. Buffalo is at home here against a New York Rangers team that I think will be a disappointment all year long. New York doesn't have good team chemistry and they have lots of holes on their roster. Buffalo usually plays well on home ice, and at this short price I think they are a good look. Take Buffalo. |
|||||||
01-21-21 | Flyers v. Bruins -131 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 32 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Bruins ML* Looking at the early season results, the Flyers have managed to win some games they had no business winning. Philadelphia is a good team, but they are overvalued in the betting market right now. The Flyers haven't created good scoring chances so far this year, but they are still winning games. Boston has a good defensive team, and the Bruins will certainly be up for this game. I see this being a good situational spot. Take Boston. |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Hurricanes -114 v. Predators | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 59 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Carolina* The Carolina Hurricanes do have a relative weakness at the goaltender spot. Still, Carolina is the far superior team overall compared to Nashville. The Predators are terrible on the power play and in the penalty kill. Those special teams weaknesses can be exploited by a team with the speed and firepower Carolina has. The market isn't giving much respect here to a Carolina team that has a very high upside. Take Carolina. |
|||||||
01-14-21 | Wild -120 v. Kings | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Minnesota Wild ML* The LA Kings are one of the five worst teams in the NHL. Minnesota isn't a strong team, but they have several strengths on their team and in my opinion they have a higher ceiling than do the Kings right now. The Kings have a lot of inexperienced guys playing key roles this year, and early in this COVID season I think that is a problem for Los Angeles. Take Minnesota here. |
|||||||
04-12-19 | Penguins -123 v. Islanders | 1-3 | Loss | -123 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
*4 Star Play on Penguins ML* The Pittsburgh Penguins outshot the New York Islanders 44-33 in Game One, but they lost 4-3 in overtime. Pittsburgh didn't get many good scoring chances early, but they got some great chances late in the game. The Penguins outplayed the Islanders in the last couple periods, but they couldn't get the win. The road favorite has been money in the first round of the NHL playoffs, and that angle gets even stronger when they are off a playoff loss. How strong is the angle? Road teams coming off a loss and favored anywhere between -101 and -135 on the moneyline are a whopping 35-8 in the last 43 spots. Those averaging more than 31 shots on goal per game are an amazing 23-2 in this spot. Pittsburgh fits both of these systems. I still believe the Penguins are the better team, and this is a huge game for them. I'll back the system and the Penguins here. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
04-10-19 | Penguins -101 v. Islanders | 3-4 | Loss | -101 | 18 h 0 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL System Play* I don't play many NHL contests, but there are some strong angles for this one. The situation here calls for a play on the Pittsburgh Penguins. There are a couple really strong systems I've followed that like this one a lot. The team with postseason experience in the first round of the NHL playoffs vs. the team who didn't go to the postseason last year is a strong angle. In this system- lines of -180 or lower with a team who averages 29.5 shots on goal or more per game is a whopping 103-52 (66.5%) with an ROI of 22.5%. Road teams in the first round of the playoffs in the NHL have done very well also. In games 1-5 of the series road teams priced at -101 or higher are 48-21 in the last 69 contests. Pittsburgh is the team with the higher upside, and this is a short price. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
12-13-18 | Hurricanes v. Canadiens -110 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Montreal ML* It's a chance for quick revenge here. Montreal lost 2-1 to Carolina on November 27. Montreal had 49 shots on goal in that game. Carolina had only 22 shots on goal. Carolina has beaten Montreal in five straight meetings, but I like this spot for Montreal. Carolina plays Washington at home on Friday, and that's a game they should be looking forward to in a big way. Montreal was just beaten 7-1 in their last game, and they have played well at home this year. This sets up as a bounce back opportunity for the Canadiens. I like the price here. Take Montreal. |
|||||||
12-03-18 | Oilers +110 v. Stars | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Oilers ML* The Edmonton Oilers are playing some good hockey since Ken Hitchcock took over. Hitchcock returns to Dallas here, and you would certainly think his new team would want to play hard for him here. Dallas is the much more banged up team. The Stars will be without Blake Comeau in this one, and he's an important part of this team. The Stars will start Anton Khudobin here instead of Ben Bishop. That's a pretty big step backward. Khudobin has allowed 3 or more goals in 4 of his last 5 starts in goal. For the season his save percentage is only 91.1%. Edmonton's defense has been much better since Hitchcock took over. The Oilers start Mikko Koskinen in goal tonight. Koskinen has a save percentage of 93.96% this year. Edmonton is 4-0-1 in his starts in goal since Hitchcock took over. Edmonton has the advantage in goal, and the Oilers should be highly motivated to win for their boss who returns to his old home. Take Edmonton. |
|||||||
11-15-18 | Panthers v. Blue Jackets -124 | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Columbus* The Columbus Blue Jackets are easily the better rested team here. Florida is playing their 4th game in 6 days here. Columbus is well rested and I believe they are the better team here. The Blue Jackets have one of the top five goalies in the NHL, and they have absolutely owned this series. Florida is just 1-10 in their last 11 games in Columbus. The Panthers are only 5-16 in their last 21 games overall against the Blue Jackets. The price here is cheaper than it should be because of Florida's hot streak of late. I'll take the home team in this one. Take Columbus. |
|||||||
11-05-18 | Flyers v. Coyotes -119 | 5-2 | Loss | -119 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Arizona* The Philadelphia Flyers are in a difficult spot here. This has been a long road trip for them. The Flyers are coming off an overtime loss to San Jose. That was a very hard fought game and it was only two days ago. They now end the road trip with a game in Arizona. Can they come back with a strong effort in this spot? It won't be easy. The Flyers have gotten some really bad goaltending this year. Arizona has two very good goalies. Darcy Kuemper will start here, and he has a .957 save percentage on the year and the team is 4-1 in his starts. Lay the short price here. Take Arizona. |
|||||||
11-01-18 | Avalanche v. Flames -115 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Calgary ML* Calgary is playing its 4th game in 6 days and its 3rd game in 4 days, but the price has gotten too cheap here. The Flames are the better team and Colorado has proven to be much better at home than on the road in recent seasons. Calgary has also played well in these spots despite playing so many games close to each other. Calgary is 19-7 in their last 26 when playing their 4th game in 6 days. They are 17-7 in their last 24 games when playing their 3rd game in 4 days. Colorado is 21-54 in their last 75 road games. The Avs are also 1-6 in their last 7 games against Calgary. I'll take Calgary on this cheap price. Take Calgary. |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Predators -117 v. Devils | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Nashville ML* Nashville is one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the NHL, and it is very rare to be able to get them at this price. The Predators face a New Jersey team that is dealing with quite a few injuries. Look for Nashville's speed to get the best of New Jersey in this matchup. Nashville has proven to be excellent against good teams in the past. The Predators are 37-18 in their last 55 vs. a team with a winning record. They are also road warriors, going 22-7 in their last 29 road games. Nashville is 5-0 in their last 5 vs. the Eastern Conference. The road team is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams. |
|||||||
10-08-18 | Golden Knights -134 v. Sabres | 2-4 | Loss | -134 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on the Vegas Golden Knights ML* The Buffalo Sabres haven't been a good team for a long time. This is a team that lacks offensive firepower in a big way. Vegas started the season with a disappointing blowout loss to the Flyers, and I think that has perception on them too low. Vegas is still a very good team, and good teams on the road early in the season have been very good in the long run. Perception isn't reality in many games early in the NHL season. Bettors remember the big losses early in the year. Vegas was blown out right away, but they rebounded with a win over a pretty good Minnesota team. I think they keep it going against Buffalo today. Take Vegas. |
|||||||
10-04-18 | Bruins -120 v. Sabres | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Boston Bruins* The Boston Bruins were embarrassed 7-0 by the Washington Capitals last night. Over the years, the NHL is a place to expect a bounce back from good teams. Teams who were beaten by 6 goals or more have been very good in their next game. The angle is the strongest when they have no days off between. That's the spot Boston is in tonight. They are also a top ten team in the NHL and Buffalo is considered by many a bottom 5 or 6 team in the NHL. Early season road favorites have done well overall also. I think Boston comes out ready to play after getting throttled last night. Take the Bruins. |
|||||||
06-04-18 | Golden Knights v. Capitals -128 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 21 h 51 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Capitals ML* The Washington Capitals have a red hot goalie in Holtby, and the Capitals are playing their best hockey of the season. Washington has missed so many chances in recent seasons to win it all, and now this year they are just two wins away from finishing the deal and winning the cup. Vegas' fast-paced offense is getting shots on goal, but they haven't been high quality scoring opportunities as much as expected. The Capitals have had a great gameplan for this series. This line is too low on the home team. Take Washington. |
|||||||
04-15-18 | Penguins -107 v. Flyers | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL 100% Angle CRUSHER* The Pittsburgh Penguins were blown out at home last game after winning big in game one. The advanced stats show that the Penguins had possession of the puck most of the time even in their 5-1 loss last game though, and they had better scoring chances and more of them than Philadelphia had. These teams have played six times now this season, and in only one of those games has the expected goal value of the Flyers been higher than the Penguins. The Penguins corsi for percentage in this two game series thus far has easily bested the Flyers. They are getting great chances at scoring. They should keep getting those. Brian Elliot entered last game with a horrible 83.5% save percentage against Pittsburgh this year. Elliot has been poor in the playoffs in his career too, and one great showing (last game) shouldn't change opinions too much. The Penguins are 13-3 in their last 16 road playoff games after losing at home. A really strong 100% system backs this selection- a road team coming off a loss (between game 2 and game 7 of the series) favored at a price of -125 or less who is averaging 31 shots on goal or more per game are a perfect 20-0 in the last 20 spots in the NHL playoffs first round. Pittsburgh fits this system. Take Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
04-12-18 | Maple Leafs +145 v. Bruins | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 36 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Toronto ML* The Toronto Maple Leafs are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings with the Boston Bruins. Head to head matchups aren't always predictive of course, but the Maple Leafs should roll into Boston with plenty of confidence here. Anderson has outplayed Rask all year, and Anderson has the capability to dominate a game and help Toronto steal one here. Toronto's offensive firepower is very impressive. Matthews and company should get plenty of good chances here, and Babcock is one of the best coaches in the league. Expect a good game plan from him. Road dogs have done really well in round one of the playoffs in the long run. Take Toronto. |
|||||||
04-11-18 | Kings +125 v. Golden Knights | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Kings ML* The Vegas Golden Knights are a great story. It's been stunning how well they have played this year. They did struggle a lot more down the stretch though, and this is all new territory. The Kings are accustomed to playoff hockey as a team. Quick is one the best goalies in the NHL, and the Kings have been the best in the NHL at killing power plays. Their ability to defend is even more important this time of the year. Vegas should have a difficult time breaking through against this defense. Road teams have done really well in the first round of the NHL playoffs. This is a road team that has lots of experience and is much better than their seed would indicate. Take the Kings. |
|||||||
03-22-18 | Kings v. Avalanche -117 | 7-1 | Loss | -117 | 21 h 54 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Moneyline Game of the Week* The Colorado Avalanche have picked up their pace of play this year to help bring a better home ice advantage with the high elevation. It's paying off in a big way. Colorado is 17-5 in their last 22 home games. This is a team that has gotten some excellent goaltending and they have been great at taking advantage of situational advantages. Colorado hosts a Los Angeles Kings team who is playing its 7th game in 11 days. They have went to extra time in three of their last five games. This game means a bunch to both teams. Colorado is 7th in the Western Conference playoff standings and LA is eighth. Both teams could easily be caught by the 9th and 10th place teams. The oddsmakers haven't given Colorado enough respect at home all year. Los Angeles has been less reliable this year than in past seasons, and they are in a tough spot. Take Colorado. |
|||||||
03-12-18 | Jets v. Capitals -116 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL FIRE on the ICE* Washington continues to bounce back and forth with the top tier of the Metro Division, as every game here down the stretch means so much to them. Lay the small price. Take Washington.  |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Sharks +116 v. Blackhawks | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 29 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Play of Day* San Jose is just too valuable to pass up on Friday. The Sharks are in the midst of a 4 game road trip, as they have found a lot of success away from San Jose. They enter Friday 16-11-3-2 and are giving up just 2.6 goals per game in that stretch. Their defense is going to give Chicago plenty of issues here. The Blackhawks just don’t have enough spark behind them. They’ll certainly be limited to very few chances overall and it hasn’t mattered who is in net for the Sharks. Both Jones and Dell have had their share of dominance this season. San Jose has also picked apart teams under .500 on the season. Entering Friday, the Sharks are 40-19 in their last 59 vs. a team with a losing record. San Jose is in the midst of a playoff race themselves and still have their sights set on putting some pressure on Vegas for the top spot in the Pacific. Beating teams like this are what has got them to this point and should really carry them moving forward. Getting the plus price, I'll take the Sharks. Take San Jose. |
|||||||
02-16-18 | Flyers v. Blue Jackets -135 | 2-1 | Loss | -135 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL 100% Angle CRUSHER* The Columbus Blue Jackets have shown signs of life lately. Columbus is putting all kinds of shots on goal. The Blue Jackets have put at least 50 shots on goal in each of their last three games. Columbus is expected to have Bobrovsky in the goal here. He was traded from the Flyers to Columbus a few years ago, and these games against the Flyers have extra meaning for him. Bobrovsky is definitely one of the top five goalies in the league, and all his advanced statistics confirm that again this year. Philadelphia is on their backup goalie as Elliot is injured right now. The Flyers have been inconsistent this year, and they have a history of losing in Columbus. This game means a bunch to Columbus who is just a point out of the eighth spot in the playoff race. Columbus is plenty good enough to make a run. The Flyers are a whopping 0-11 in their last 11 games in Columbus. The Blue Jackets are 9-0 in their last 9 games following a loss by 3 goals or more. A 20-0 angle. Take Columbus. |
|||||||
02-15-18 | Ducks -113 v. Blackhawks | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Ducks ML* The Anaheim Ducks are in a good spot here against a tired Chicago Blackhawks team in their first game back home after a road trip. Chicago is 0-7 in their last 7 contests. They are a mess right now. They just got rid of Jeff Glass, but without Corey Crawford they have no answer at goalie. Anton Forsberg is just 5-10-3 on the year, and advanced metrics suggest he is one of the worst goalies in the NHL. Gibson is one of the better goalies in the NHL for the Ducks, and Anaheim is a team that has proven they can win on the road this year. They are playing with revenge for a beatdown at the hands of the Blackhawks earlier this year. These teams are in much different positions now. Chicago is playing their third game in four days here, and this is a team that is physically and mentally beat up. Take Anaheim. |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Blue Jackets -113 v. Islanders | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* Columbus should have no issues picking apart this New York defense. The Islanders are giving up 3.67 goals per game, easily one of the worst in the NHL. They continue to get burned on possessions where they allow multiple shots on net and rebounds to sputter free. This is not a good matchup for them here against the Blue Jackets either. Columbus has outshot the Islanders aggressively over the past 3 meetings and they have really started to turn things up on the offensive end as a whole. Columbus has put together 175 shots over their past 4 games as they have put a lot of pressure on the opposition. I see this as a sign that things are slowly changing for the Jackets. The Islanders concede their fair share of shots as well, which should result in Columbus getting plenty of chances on net in this one. Columbus has the clear advantage at goalie. With that in mind, as well as the Islanders struggles recently when playing on just 1 day of rest, the Blue Jackets have the value. Take Columbus. |
|||||||
02-12-18 | Lightning +105 v. Maple Leafs | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Red HOT Cash* The Tampa Bay Lightning at this kind of price is always going to be worth a move. You’ll rarely find them at plus money. Tampa Bay is a top team in the NHL and they do it in various ways. This team can cause a lot of issues for the opposition both on the offensive and defensive side of things. Offensively, the Lightning are putting in 3.5 goals per game as they put constant pressure on net. They fire from anywhere on the ice and have so many scoring threats that are just too tough to slow down. Defensively, they have one of the best goalies in the NHL as Andrei Vasilevskiy continues to put up outstanding numbers. Vasilevskiy has a GAA of just 2.29 and a SV% of .929 this year. He has made big save after big save and can really frustrate an opposing team. Toronto typically struggles with teams like Tampa Bay. They will get a handful of attacks and with the amount of breakdowns they have defensively, the Lightning should be able to take big advantage. Tampa Bay is 21-7 in their last 28 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Tampa Bay. |

02-06-18 | Sharks v. Avalanche +100 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 8 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* Colorado is at a nice price for us on Tuesday night. The Avalanche have really seen this team come along way given the rebuilding process that was supposed to be taking place this season. Colorado is one of the top teams in the NHL offensively and they’re doing it in a variety of ways. Colorado continues to put push the tempo and loves attack the net, looking for 2nd and 3rd chances on goal. Colorado’s 3.2 goals per game rank 6th in the NHL and they hold the 13th best power play attack as well. The Sharks are also pretty banged up with Joe Thornton being down. He’s such a crucial piece on both sides of the puck to this team and his absence is not making things easy on them. San Jose is 0-3-2 in their last 5 against the Central. Colorado is 8-0 in their last 8 home games. With the Sharks playing a heavy schedule of lots of road games, this spot is better for the home team. Take Colorado. |

01-30-18 | Wild v. Blue Jackets -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
*4 Star Play NHL FIRE on ICE* The Columbus Blue Jackets underachieved heading into the All Star Break. This was a good chance for them to rest and get ready for the second half. They still have one of the best goalies in the NHL, and they have a team without any clear major weaknesses. Columbus has been one of the best in the NHL coming off rest. The Blue Jackets are 10-2 in their last 12 games when playing on 3 or more days of rest. Minnesota has been dominant at home, but the Wild have been terrible on the road. They are 9-14 on the road, and they haven't really notched many wins against quality teams. Minnesota is 2-8 in their last 10 vs. Columbus. The Wild are 10-25 in their last 35 against the Metropolitan Division. Columbus is 45-20 in their last 65 home games. A short price on a hungry team here. Take Columbus. |

01-25-18 | Capitals -118 v. Panthers | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Washington Caps ML* The Washington Capitals are extremely well rested here. Washington is in a great spot after multiple days of rest and coming off 3 losses. This is a veteran team who should be motivated to go into the break with a win. Florida starts their backup goalie here, and he has poor career numbers in all leagues. The defense in front of him isn't very good either. The Capitals are 76-35 in their last 111 games after scoring 2 or less goals. The Panthers are 6-15 in their last 21 vs. the strong Metropolitan Division. I'll lay the short price here. Take Washington. |

01-25-18 | Predators -135 v. Devils | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
*3 Star Play on Nashville* The Nashville Predators are one of the top three teams in the NHL in my opinion. This is a veteran team with a good offense and very good defense. Rinne is still one of the best goalies in the NHL. New Jersey is without their starting goalie Schneider tonight. They are also without star Taylor Hall. That's two very critical guys for them to be without. With this being the last game before the All Star Break, I see this as a spot where the Devils are just ready to get to the break and try to get healthy. Nashville is well rested here, and they are in great form. The Predators are the much better team to start with, and they are certainly healthier as well. Take Nashville. |

*4 Star NHL Moneyline Value Play* The Los Angeles Kings are a good buy low candidate here. They are a solid team that has slumped a bit in recent weeks. They go against a terrible home team here.  Vancouver dropped one to the Jets which put them at 4-13-2 over their last 19 games. This team is in free fall mode and it has stemmed from numerous things.  Vancouver has struggled in every which way you look at it. Coming into Tuesday, the Canucks are 15-38 over their last 53 against the Western Conference.  Along with that, they have really struggled on 1 days rest. Vancouver is just 12-40 in their last 52 games  in such situations. This team just lacks any sort of gamechanger and they continue to bury themselves in early holes. They are also 7-20 in their last 27 home games.  Los Angeles has already came into Vancouver once this season and knocked them off. They have confidence to do it again. Last time, they were priced at -135, so we’re getting a big discount.  They hold a clear edge here. Take Los Angeles. |

01-20-18 | Lightning -122 v. Wild | 2-5 | Loss | -122 | 29 h 59 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Situational Play SMASHER* The Tampa Bay Lightning are at a nice price here on Saturday night. Tampa Bay has been the team to beat this season and they have found a lot of success on the road this year. The Lightning come into this one a solid 14-6-0-2 away from Tampa and are averaging 3.50 goals per game to just the 2.32 they concede. That has been the real recipe to success for the Lightning this season, as they consistently maintain an attack and in turn, do not allow anything easy for the opposition. The Lightning have also dominated the Central. Tampa Bay has won 14 of their last 16 overall when taking on Central Division opponents. On top of that, they have gone 24-8 against teams with a winning record. This team does not shy away from any sort of competition and with the Wild not scoring as much this season, this is a game where the Lightning can be very aggressive. Strong system here as well for the road team playing against a team off a bye. When the road team is playing on with zero days off up to 2 days off and the home team is playing with 5 days off or more and these factors are true -The road team averages at least 28 shots on goal per game -The home team averages less than 34 shots on goal per game Since 2010, the road team that fits this system is a whopping 96-56 (63.2%) and the return on investment taking these is a huge 40.1%. Tampa Bay fits the system. Take Tampa Bay. |

01-19-18 | Golden Knights +100 v. Panthers | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Situational Spot CRUSHER* The Vegas Golden Knights have proven people wrong all season long. Many thought they were just a fluke early in the season. This team is for real. Vegas outplayed Nashville two games ago, but lost 1-0 on the road. They dominated Tampa Bay last night in a 4-1 win. Tampa Bay has been the best team in the NHL, and Vegas has two wins over them in two meetings this year. What's the strong situation here? Florida is coming off their bye week. The Panthers last played on January 12. Teams coming off a bye week have been great fades the last few years, especially on their home ice. When the road team is playing on with zero days off up to 2 days off and the home team is playing with 5 days off or more and these factors are true -The road team averages at least 28 shots on goal per game -The home team averages less than 34 shots on goal per game Since 2010, the road team that fits this system is a whopping 96-56 (63.2%) and the return on investment taking these is a huge 40.1%. Vegas meets the system. At even money, this is a very solid value. Take Vegas. |

01-18-18 | Blues -115 v. Senators | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL 100% Angle Crusher* The St. Louis Blues catch the Ottawa Senators in such a great spot here. Ottawa comes in off their bye week and a lot of rest has really been an issue for them in the past. The Senators are 0-4 in their last 4 games when playing on 3 or more days rest. We've seen the bye week be a big negative in the past couple seasons. On top of that, the road team has really dominated this head to head series taking the last 7 matchups. 7-0 angle here. The Senators have also been a team really in almost free fall mode since their start to the year. Ottawa is allowing one of the worst marks in the NHL, giving up 3.43 goals per game. That stems a lot from their power play problems, that ranks 28th in the league. The Blues have also been one of the best defensive teams themselves. Giving up just 2.62 goals per game, this team never permits anything easy, or allows multiple chances per attack. There are just too many angles here pointing to the Blues, and they are clearly the better team. A combined 11-0 angle on the road team. Take St. Louis. |

*3 Star NHL Moneyline Value Play* Columbus will see a Buffalo team that is really moving in the wrong direction right now. Buffalo has dropped 5 in a row and are in the basement of the Atlantic Division. Buffalo has struggled in many aspects this season and they continue to bury themselves early in games which doesn’t bode well going against a team like Columbus. The Blue Jackets are extremely aggressive and have won 2 straight heading into this one. They are in the midst of a first place battle in the Metro Division and are really clicking on the defensive end. Buffalo has gone 32-85 in their last 117 vs. a team with a winning record and are 13-39 in their last 52 overall. That is not a small sample size by any means. Buffalo has been a struggle over the past couple seasons and they are not good situationally here. Columbus is coming off 2 days of rest and well rested non-divisional favorites have been great in the NHL in the last five years. Columbus is much deeper and owns a huge goalie edge. Take the visitors. Take Columbus. |

01-05-18 | Golden Knights v. Blackhawks -120 | 5-4 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* The Chicago Blackhawks price here is a nice one on Friday night. The Vegas Golden Knights saw their winning streak come to an end on Thursday night as they couldn’t figure out the St. Louis Blues in a 2-1 loss. Not only does a back to back here hurt them, but playing a team like Chicago in a spot like this doesn’t help the cause either. Chicago has been a rollercoaster this season, but they play very similar to the Blues. The Blackhawks are built on a team full of veterans who really put an emphasis on the defensive end. Chicago is a solid 10-5-2-0 at home this year while outscoring the opposition 3.47- 2.35. This has the makings to be a tough stretch for the Golden Knights as well. They are playing teams that really are built with experience, which doesn’t help them. They have put a target on their backs and now they’ll really start seeing some teams play top games against them. Chicago is clearly the more rested team, and rest is crucial in the NHL, especially as we get later in the season. This price is too nice to pass up on. Grab the home side with  low juice. Take Chicago. |

01-04-18 | Sharks +125 v. Maple Leafs | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Moneyline Value Play* The San Jose Sharks are in a position and price that really has value. San Jose will catch a Toronto team that is really reeling right now. The Maple Leafs struggles are back on the defensive end and because of that, they have dropped 3 straight games overall. That isn’t a good thing for them coming into this matchup either, given their history in this head to head. The Sharks are 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Toronto as they have crossed the border and played extremely well. As a whole, they have dominated this series too. The Sharks are 17-4-2 in the last 23 meetings as they’ve consistently got out early and really picked apart the Maple Leafs back lines. San Jose has seen this team really start to gel, as their young talent is stepping up. It took them a little bit, but the likes of Timo Meier and Kevin Labanc are getting a lot of production. This is too nice of a price here in this spot. Take San Jose. |

01-02-18 | Bruins -115 v. Islanders | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Situational Spot CRUSHER* The Boston Bruins hold a nice edge here on Tuesday night. Boston comes into this one on quite the heater. They have won 15 of their last 20 overall, which includes a win over the Islanders on December 9th. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask is also in top form right now. He is riding by far the best stretch of his career, grabbing at least a point in 11 straight games now. New York meanwhile is limping into the New Year. After a hot start to the season, they have really tapered off and closed out 2017 with a 6-1 loss to the lowly Avalanche. They simply aren’t getting anything going early in games and it in turn has hurt them with the holes they’ve put themselves in. Head to head wise, Boston has dominated this series as well. The Bruins are 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in New York and are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings. The Bruins as a team are on an 8 game point streak. Boston is well rested and New York is coming off a road trip a long way from home. Take Boston. |

12-30-17 | Kings -135 v. Canucks | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Play of Day* The Kings are a nice play for us on Saturday night. They head into Vancouver, a team that has really struggled at times this year. The Canucks come into this one just 7-10-2-1 at home on the season and they have dropped 25 of their last 32 home games. Meanwhile, the Kings are a team you do not want to see when you’re struggling. Los Angeles has the best defense in the NHL and one of the best goalies in the NHL in Jonathan Quick. Quick owns 17 wins this season and his ability to make some clutch and crucial saves this season has sparked the Kings early on. Along with that, Los Angeles has gone 6-1 when playing on 1 days rest. They tend to play well when games are bunched together, as they get into the groove and really start to gain momentum as stretches go on. Vancouver meanwhile, is 13-38 in their last 51 games playing on 1 days rest and  7-21 in their last 28 vs. Western Conference. This price is a worthy of a play here. Los Angeles is a far better team and this is a good chance for them to break out of their mini losing streak. Take Los Angeles. |

12-28-17 | Blackhawks -125 v. Canucks | 2-5 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 16 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Moneyline CRUSHER* The Chicago Blackhawks lay a nice price for us on Thursday night. This is certainly a nice move given the fading of Vancouver. The Canucks have a bad trend in almost every situational piece here possible. Vancouver has gone 17-35 against the Central in their last 52 for starters. This division has been one they simply cannot figure out. They have clear mismatches on both sides of the puck and that doesn’t bode well by any means here Thursday. On top of that, the Canucks have gone just 6-25 over their last 31 home games. Chicago has played well as of late too, really looking they almost have things figured out. They’ve gone 5-2 in their last 7 overall and finally are getting production from F Patrick Kane. He’s tallied 5 goals in as many games and has really sparked this team’s recent improvement. Chicago has outshot 7 of their last 8 opponents. Situationally, this one makes a ton of sense here. Lets fade the team that cannot win at home and has struggled as a whole this season against a team trending in the right direction. Take Chicago. |

12-23-17 | Blackhawks -110 v. Devils | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Moneyline CRUSHER* The Blackhawks have really turned a corner and grabbing them at this kind of price is a nice play on Saturday. Chicago comes into this one winners in 5 of their last 6. Along with that, the Blackhawks have played well given the situation. They are 4-0 when playing on 1 days rest, as their consistency has finally came about. Chicago did see their 5 game winning streak come to a halt, but still have seen exceptional play on the defensive end. They rank 5th in the NHL with 2.6 goals per game against this year. Corey Crawford has been the biggest piece to that as he boasts a GAA of just 2.18 this season. Offensively, the Blackhawks can cause a lot of havoc too. They rank 4th in the NHL in shots per game, racking up 34.6. They continue to put the pressure on and attack the net with 2nd and 3rd chances. Chicago has outshot their opponent in 7 of their last 8 contests. New Jersey has done the same in only 3 of their last 10 contests. This play is nice given the price on the Blackhawks. Take Chicago. |

12-19-17 | Lightning -125 v. Golden Knights | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 47 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Play of the Day* The Lightning have continued to be absolutely dominant here in 2017 and they are a play at this kind of price. Tampa Bay has rattled off 7 straight wins and it’s been a combination of just about everything that has gone right for the Lightning. In net, Andrei Vasilevskiy is making a strong case to be one of the best in the NHL. He leads the league with 21 wins this season and sits at 5-0-0 in the month of December. Vasilevskiy will also have the benefit of being well rested, as he sat out Saturday night. The Lightning have been dominant on the road as well. Conceding only 2.38 goals per game on the road, the defense has fed off the energy of Vasilevskiy, really being good at clearing the zone and not allowing any open room for opposing teams in their end. The Lightning are 21-5 in their last 26 vs. Western Conference. Tampa bay is the better team and should have a huge advantage here. With them well rested, I’ll lay the short price. Take Tampa Bay. |

12-19-17 | Canadiens -135 v. Canucks | 7-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 27 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Late Night BAILOUT* The Canadiens value rises here when taking on the Canucks Tuesday night. Montreal has continued to be vastly improved from their horrific start to the season as they’re finally finding some consistency. Montreal was projected to be one of the best in the NHL at the start of the season and while things haven’t panned out completely for them, they’ve managed to hang around. Carey Price returned from injury and it’s given the Canadiens a boost that has seen them grab a little momentum. Price has allowed just 3 goals over the past 2 games and he’s slowly starting to turn things in the right direction himself. Price has been a top tier goalie in the past and he’s working his way back towards that status. Montreal has also won in the past 3 meetings with the Canucks. With that momentum head to head, the Canadiens catch the Canucks in a nice spot situationally as well. The Canucks are 19-48 in their last 67 games playing on 1 days rest. The Canucks are also 6-23 in their last 29 home games. This price is too nice to pass up on given the situation and the head to head success for the Canadiens. Take Montreal. |

*3 Star NHL Home Dog* Buffalo is a spot Tuesday where they have tremendous value to work with. Buffalo catches the Bruins in a spot here where they do not perform well. The Bruins come in on a back to back and that has been a recipe for disaster with them. Boston has gone 7-19 in their last 26 games playing on 0 days rest. Buffalo? They’ve been at rest for 3 days. Boston just hasn’t been able to find any consistency in the backend of these situations and defensively there has been a lot of breakdowns for them. That isn’t something this team can afford to do as they’re averaging only 2.8 goals per game. The Sabres are also showing some signs of better play as of late. They’ve earned a point in 5 of their last 6 games and Robin Lehner has boasted a GAA of .924 this month. The price is too nice to pass on here. The Sabres spot situationally is extremely nice and given the Bruins issues on the defensive end in back to backs, plus money in a game like this is worthy of a play. Take Buffalo. |

12-16-17 | Blue Jackets -108 v. Hurricanes | 1-2 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 3 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Situational Spot CASH* This Columbus Blue Jackets price is just too nice to pass up on. Columbus comes into play on Saturday as one of the top teams in the NHL thanks to really their defensive efforts. Columbus is one of the tops in the NHL, allowing only 2.59 goals against as they really know how to clear the zone. Along with that, it helps when you have one of the best goaltenders in the game in Sergei Bobrovsky. The Blue Jackets have leaned on him time and time again and he continues to deliver. Bobrovsky owns a GAA of just 2.27 and a SV% of .923. He is one of the most reliable goaltenders in the game and his clutch factor is huge for the Blue Jackets down the stretch of games. Situationally this is a nice play as well. Columbus is 11-4 in their last 15 overall and are 8-3 in their last 11 vs. Eastern Conference. They’ve caught fire once again as the form they played with so well from the beginning of the season is back They hold a huge edge here as the Hurricanes are just kind of lingering right now. This team hasn’t shown much of a spark this year and here is a nice chance for Columbus to really catch them off guard. Finally, the Hurricanes are coming off a long road trip, and they have to be worn out here. They are 1-5 in their last 6 home games following a 7 day or more road trip. This one fits. Columbus is the more rested side. Take Columbus. |

*3 Star NHL Late Night BAILOUT* The Penguins open as underdogs on Thursday, which is a rare sight. Pittsburgh is still looking to get over that hump they’ve been struggling to get to this year, but overall play has been vastly improved. The Penguins aren’t a team to take lightly. Not to mention, Matt Murray missed some time, but is back here against his former teammate and counterpart. Murray got the starting job over Marc-Andre Fleury and it resulted in Fleury getting picked up by the Golden Knights when they joined the NHL. Murray has a lot to prove here as he wants to show the Penguins made the right decision with him. Murray is an upgrade for the Penguins over their backup who has seen extended action of late. Pittsburgh has also played well given the resting situation. The Penguins are 8-2 in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest. Pittsburgh remains one of the best teams in the NHL despite their slow start to the season. All around they’re complete with depth, speed, and playmakers. Vegas has been very good this year, but Pittsburgh enters rested and healthy here. At this kind of price, this is a nice value play. Take Pittsburgh. |

12-14-17 | Capitals +110 v. Bruins | 5-3 | Win | 110 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Oddsmaker ERROR* The Capitals are always a value team at plus money. Washington has a high upside, and they have started to realize that in recent weeks. Washington is in a nice spot here, especially given the Bruins coming into this one on a back to back. Boston was in Detroit on Wednesday night and had to jump on a plane and head back home, which is never an easy task when it comes to that 2nd leg with travel. Washington has really started to figure things out to. They have jump up the standings of the Metropolitan Division. Washington has won 8 of their last 10 and have averaged 3.8 goals per game in that span. Along with that, the Capitals have dominated the Bruins. Washington will look for their 11th straight win over Boston and have gone 20-7 over the last 27 head to head meetings. On the 2nd leg of a back to back, the Bruins struggles have been very well known. The Bruins are 5-14 in their last 19 games playing on 0 days rest. Washington is red hot and this is an ideal matchup for them with Boston. Take Washington. |

*4 Star NHL Moneyline Game of the Week* Vegas lays low juice in this spot on Tuesday night. Carolina comes in on the 2nd leg of their back to back after battling in Anaheim Monday night. The Hurricanes have struggled mightily on the road, as they haven’t had much luck on the offensive end. The Hurricanes are averaging just 2.67 goals per road contest this season, one of the lower tier marks in the NHL. Along with that, Vegas has been extremely good at home. The Golden Knights have gone are 11-2-0-0, outscoring the opposition 3.85-2.54 on average. Overall, this offense has been one of the best in the NHL. Vegas ranks 3rd in scoring, putting in 3.5 goals per game. The success comes from the high pressured attack, which Carolina simply cannot handle here. The Hurricanes do not have enough firepower or speed to keep up here in this one. Carolina ranks 23rd in scoring and 27th on the power play. The Hurricanes just simply cannot keep up here, especially given the situational spot on the back to back. Carolina is at the end of a long road trip and this is a brutal spot for them. Take Vegas. |

*3 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* The Los Angeles Kings lay low juice here on Tuesday. The Kings have found their stride once again and are playing at a very high level. Los Angeles has rattled off 8 straight wins and they sit atop the Pacific Division for many reasons. One of which is their plus 29 goal differential on the season. The missing ingredient to their success last year as G Jonathan Quick. The Kings netminder owns just a 2.18 GAA this season and has allowed more than 2 goals just twice over his last 10 starts. He’s continued to make big save after big save and owns a SV% of .930 so far into the campaign. Along with that, the Kings have played well in New Jersey. They come in 5-2 over the last 7 meetings here and catch a Devils team that is just 15-36 in their last 51 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Los Angeles is a far better team and after a hot start for the Devils, now is the time to fade them. A strong system supports this play as well- Road favorites with 3 or more days of rest in a non-division game and priced at -130 or lower are 155-71 (68.6%) in the last 10 years Take Los Angeles. |

*4 Star NHL RED HOT CASH* The New York Rangers welcome in the Dallas Stars on Monday night. New York is a in a nice spot here and at a valuable opening price. This is a team that always had potential, but they got out of the gates slow and that has kept their prices in check during their recent run. The Rangers have erased their horrific start to the season and are now right in the thick of the divisional race. New York’s offense has finally turned a corner, as they are scoring 3.34 goals per game on the season. The number is quite impressive, given the struggles this team endured earlier this season. New York has also played extremely well at home as of late. The Rangers are 10-1 in their last 11 home games and come into this one 12-5-1-1 so far here in 2017. On top of that, the Stars have struggled against teams with winning records. Dallas has gone 5-14 in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. This is a case where these two teams are in different situational spots. The Rangers home ice advantage, combined with the Stars struggles give New York a lot of value. Take New York. |

*4 Star NHL FIRE ON THE ICE* The Toronto Maple Leafs clash with the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. This is a case where the Maple Leafs have value and are worth a nice play here. The Maple Leafs have continued to be one of the best offensive teams in the NHL so far this season. THe Leafs have averaged 3.86 goals per game when playing on the road and overall they come into this one with a solid 9-4-0-1 record. They’ve played with extreme confidence when taking to the road, something that top teams in the league have to do. They also catch Vancouver in a really bad spot. The Canucks have been one of the worst home teams lately and even dating back to last season. They’ve gone just 4-22 over their last 26 home games, a horrific mark. Vancouver is coming off a long six game road trip, and this is their first game back at home. The Maple Leafs offensive style is going to add a lot of issues to the ones Vancouver is already having. Toronto plays with extreme pace, something the Canucks simply don’t have and don’t do well with. Grabbing Toronto at this kind of price, when they are on the rise right now as they’ve won back to back games, is extremely nice. Look for them to control this one from the outset. Take Toronto. |

*3 Star NHL Moneyline SMASHER* The Chicago Blackhawks certainly have not played up to their standards here in 2017. On Thursday, they are at a nice price against a team they really should dominate. Chicago’s Corey Crawford is one of the main reasons for that. He has gone 4-0-1 over his last 5 starts and last year he won all 3 matchups against this Stars team. For the Blackhawks to really get up to the standards they have been sought to have, it’ll start with Crawford and him really lighting a spark underneath this team. His counterpart, Ben Bishop, has really struggled on the road as well. Bishop comes into play on Thursday with a GAA of 3.62 and he is getting beat on 3rd and 4th shots as covering up the puck has not been his strong suit. The Blackhawks are also picking up the pace offensively. They have had at least 35 shots in 12 of their last 14 games. Chicago is far more talented and has a much more stable netminder in Crawford. They have value here. Dallas is 5-22-2 in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Take Chicago. |

Washington has won 6 in a row in this series and have won 5 of the last 7 in Colorado. The Caps have finally started to figure things out. Despite coming in off a loss, Washington has got themselves back into form as this offense is once again looking like they should in terms of firepower. They are getting production all around as TJ Oshie has been a bit of a spark for them putting 3 goals over the last 3 games and 9 total this season. It’s been rare, but the Caps have been an awesome bounce back team after allowing 5 goals or more too. They have won 12 of the last 14 games following a game where they allow that many goals. I like being able to grab them coming off a humbling loss. Additionally, the Avalanche have been very fortunate of late. The Avs have 74 Shots on Goal in their last 3 home games. Their opponents have 134 SOG in those games. Colorado has won two of those games. The Avs have been getting outshot badly of late and that's typically an ominous sign. This is a nice price and situational play here on Thursday. Take Washington. |

11-07-17 | Blues -129 v. Devils | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL FIRE on the ICE* The St. Louis Blues and New Jersey Devils battle as two of the hottest teams to start the season go at it. Here, the Blues are at a nice price based on the Devils hot start. Give it a month or so and this one would be north of -160 as St. Louis is just a far better team. New Jersey has played above their heads so far this year. The Blues Vladimir Tarasanko is on quite the tear, which gives St. Louis a nice edge here. The Blues star has tallied at least 1 point in 11 of the first 15 games. Head to head wise, the Blues are dominating this series. St. Louis has won 6 of the last 7 meetings in New Jersey and 10 of the last 11 overall. That is not a small sample size by any means, as it’s going to be lingering in the minds of this New Jersey team. The Blues are outscoring the opposition 3.27-2.40 thus far. St. Louis is well rested for this one as well. All signs point to them as there is a lot of value in this case. Take St. Louis. |

11-04-17 | Maple Leafs v. Blues -127 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 14 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Red Hot CASH* The St. Louis Blues have got out of the gates fast this season. They take on the Maple Leafs here and they have a nice price to work with. The Blues sit atop the Central as all around they’ve played like a top team in the NHL. St. Louis is the 2nd best in scoring defense in the league, allowing just 2.3 goals per game. This defense has always been one of the tops in the NHL, but this year they’ve seen Jake Allen just completely fluster opponents. Allen owns only a 2.34 GAA and a save percentage of .923. Along with that, St. Louis has taken advantage of home ice. They come on Saturday 5-1, outscoring opponents 3.67-1.83. To top this off as well, the Maple Leafs have struggled when playing St. Louis. The Blues have won 6 of the last 8 meetings overall as Toronto has just simply never matched up well with them. Given the Blues early season success here, this price is cheaper than I expected. Given the low juice, this is a nice one to jump on. Take St. Louis. |

11-02-17 | Blue Jackets -114 v. Panthers | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL FIRE on the ICE* The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Florida Panthers battle it out on Thursday night. Columbus is well rested here, and well rested road teams in the NHL have been great to bettors in the long run. The Blue Jackets come in off a huge win and have their momentum that they've had for a majority of the season on their side right now. Columbus took down Boston in a shootout as they continue their nice run to start the season.  They grab value here as both sides of the puck have been very successful for them. Columbus is putting in 3 goals per game, as they have been able to control the tempo and possession in the offensive zone. Because of that, they're also not allowing many quick attacks. Columbus is giving up just 2.5 goals per game, one of the better marks in the NHL here early on.  Columbus has one of the best goalies in the NHL on their side. Sergei Bobrovsky owns just a 1.97 GAA this year. Florida has only managed 23 shots on goal in 3 of their last 5 games. The Blue Jackets should get plenty of chances. This price is too nice given the nice angles here on the Blue Jackets. They're the better team and at a very nice price.  Take Columbus. |

*4 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* Two of the hottest teams in the NHL meet Monday night as the Los Angeles Kings and St. Louis Blues go at it. The Kings are likely tired, and St. Louis is a tough bunch to beat at home. Short price here. |

10-27-17 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights -121 | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 17 h 60 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Fire on the Ice* An early start in Vegas pits the Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche against one another on Friday night. Colorado plays Chicago on Saturday, and I think that is a game they'll be very interested in. This is a tough spot for them in Las Vegas against a team with a red hot start to the season. The Golden Knights just seem to continue to figure out how to put up wins. They have won 7 of their first 8 games of the season and come in off an extremely impressive win over the Chicago Blackhawks.  Vegas is doing everything right so far. From peppering the net and attacking it for rebounds, to clearing the zone, to controlling the puck and tempo of the game.  They matchup very well here against the Avalanche. Colorado just isn't threatening enough to keep up here. The Avs have been outshot in all but one of their road games so far this year.ÂThe Avalanche are 10-42 in their last 52 vs. Western Conference. This is just not a nice situational spot for them, nor a good matchup overall. Expect the aggressiveness of the Knights to be the go ahead edge here.  Take Las Vegas. |

10-26-17 | Stars v. Oilers -115 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
*3 Star NHL Hidden GEM Value Play* The Edmonton Oilers didn't just forget how to play. I truly believe they will still be a solid team. They have gone through a tough period here at the beginning of the season, but Edmonton had a great home ice advantage last year and they have a terrific young goalie. The Oilers have been outshooting the opposition regularly and losing hard fought games. They now host Dallas, who has struggled on the road badly the last couple years. This fits a strong non-divisional favorite angle. A team that has won 15% or less of their last 7 games, but won 40 games or more in the previous year and is favored against a non-divisional opponent is 84-28 on the moneyline (75%) in the last ten years in the NHL. This Edmonton team is underpriced right now. Take Edmonton. |

10-20-17 | Capitals -130 v. Red Wings | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 29 m | Show | |
*4 Star NHL Triple Deke* The Washington Capitals and Detroit Red Wings battle it out inside Little Caesars Arena on Friday night.  Washington at this kind of price is going to be rare to find in the future. They are one of the top teams in the NHL, no matter where they play. Here, they have a nice edge.  The Capitals have struggled in their past few games, but they still remain one of the top teams in terms of scoring. They just have so many weapons that starts from Alexander Ovechkin and goes through Nicklas Backstrom. They are completely attack minded and should have the Red Wings on their heels.  Along with that, Detroit has dropped back to back games and the defense is reeling. They've allowed 9 goals over the last pair of losses and it spells a lot of trouble running into this Capitals team right now.  The Caps are are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings head to head. This is a nice spot for them. Buy low on Washington here.  Take Washington. |
