OVER 6.5

San Jose and Edmonton have value to the over. Edmonton has continued to put up a lot of goals so far to start the season. They come into Saturday with 17 goals through 3 games and this is a San Jose defense that has had issues. Edmonton’s speed and ability to attack the net is going to cause problems all night long for the Sharks. Offensively for San Jose, they have put up 12 goals so far this season. They are a young team again that plays with tempo and they aren’t shy about peppering the opposing net. Expect this game to have a lot of action both ways and go scoring chances to be plenty. Back the over.

Saturday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Seattle and Detroit have value to the over on Friday night. Seattle continues to play at a frantic pace and that’s resulting in a lot of shots on net. They’re producing scoring chances and it’s led to them averaging 3.75 gpg in this young season. That’s going to be the key here as they’ll push the tempo in this one and force the Red Wings to pick up the pace on their end. Expect end to end action with both teams attacking the net and peppering shots while producing 2nd and 3rd chances. This will be a back and forth game all night long that results in high scoring. Back the over.

Friday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Calgary can't score (they'll bag a couple tonight), can't defend, and now gets a Colorado offense that's been lighting up scoreboards. The Flames have surrendered 16 goals through three games, including a pair of six-goal beatdowns by Seattle. Dustin Wolf has been getting hung out to dry, and facing Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas and Cale Makar isn't exactly the cure for those defensive headaches. Colorado has already scored 16 goals in three outings, and even Wednesday's loss to Winnipeg featured plenty of quality chances. The Avs are playing consecutive nights, but that doesn't bother me much with their offensive depth and ability to roll multiple dangerous lines. Calgary's lineup changes haven't solved anything yet, and Jonathan Huberdeau's absence certainly doesn't help its scoring punch. The Flames don't need to contribute a whole lot here. Colorado has enough firepower to do most of the damage itself, and a couple of Calgary goals should put this comfortably OVER. At 6, we also have some protection if the game lands there. Take the OVER.

Thursday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Chicago and Utah will meet on Thursday night and the over is the move. Chicago looks as if they’re going to struggle once again defensively this season as they allowed 5 goals in their opener to Vegas. They struggled clearing the zone and they allowed far too many clean looks on net. Utah has a solid offense and we saw that plenty last year, which should result in this game being wide open. Expect both teams to push the tempo and create a lot of looks on net, with the 2nd and 3rd chances off rebounds being the key. This is a great spot for plenty of goal scoring chances to come. Back the over.

Thursday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Colorado and Los Angeles have value to the over. Colorado’s offense is loaded up again and primed for a huge season. They have some of the best weapons in the game and it starts with their captain Nathan MacKinnon. He has led this offense to be one of the most threatening ones in the NHL and they will look to come out early this season and make a statement. The Kings are a team mixed with youth and vets, that should mesh well together. Colorado had issues defensively at times lay season and not much has changed for them there. Back the over

Wednesday 2* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Carolina and Vegas meet in Game 2 and we’re on the under. Game 1 saw these two teams go back and forth all night long in a high scoring game as neither defense had their feet underneath them. This game is going to be much more slower paced as both teams will look to get back to their typical form. These were two of the best defenses in the postseason before Game 1 and they both had solid regular seasons when it came to limiting scoring chances for the opposition. Expect possession to be the focus in Game 2 and for scoring chances to go back to being limited. Grab the under.

Thursday 2* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 5.5

Carolina and Montreal meet in Game 4 and we’re on the under. Carolina has been one of the best team’s defensively so far this postseason, giving up just 1.82 gpg. Montreal is at 2.71 gpg against which is still a very respectable number. These two defenses have been extremely dominant and it starts in net, where they’re not allowing many 2nd or 3rd chances. This will be another tightly played contest where both teams look to slow the game down. Neither team is going to take many chances early as this will be one of those where they try to dominate the possession in the opposing team’s end. Grab the under.

Wednesday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Carolina and Montreal shift the series to north of the border and we’re on the over. These two teams are so attack minded and this game has the ability to be wide open. Carolina has shown some cracks defensively in the first two games of this series as Montreal has been able to really pepper the net. They’re putting a lot of pressure on and this is a game where they’re going to come out firing. As for Carolina, they continue to put up goals and they have so many different playmakers that can create chances. Given the star power on both sides, this is a great spot to expect a lot of goals. Back the over.

Monday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Montreal and Buffalo meet in Game 7 and we’re on the over. These two teams have exchanged punches all season long and they’re going to come out swinging again. We’ve seen all of these games in this series be high scoring and this game will be just as wide open. But teams have a solid attack and love to push the tempo on each other. Expect plenty of counter attacks as they’ve averaged over 3 gpg this postseason each. Given how much of a struggle these defenses have been, this game will have a lot of scoring chances once again with a chance at some empty netters at the end. Grab the over (any juice).

Monday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Montreal and Buffalo meet and we’re on the over. It’s game 6 and Buffalo looks to save their season here. It’ll be all hands on deck and with the way this series has played, both teams are going to create scoring chances. We’ve seen high scoring games all postseason long for these two sides, as they’re both averaging over 3 gpg. Expect a lot of end to end action with both teams pushing the tempo. This has also been a series where we’ve seen a lot of shots on net and a lot of rebound opportunities, which should factor in once again. Grab the over to 6.5.

Saturday 4* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Colorado and Minnesota shift the series to Minnesota and this is an under spot. Minnesota has to change the pace of this game if they want any chance to stay in the series. Colorado was too fast through the first two games and with Minnesota returning home, we’re going to see a much slower tempo game. The Wild are at their best when they turn games into possession and they’re going to put an emphasis on not allowing Colorado to get out on the counter. Expect this game to turn into a grind, where both teams slow the game down and work to keep possession in the opposition’s end. Back the under (any juice).

Saturday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Vegas and Utah meet in the opening game of their series and we’re on the under. Carter Hart an overall GAA of 2.71 on the year and in the last month he owns a GAA of just 1.66. He’s been dominant and the Golden Knights have really stepped up defensively as they’re shutting teams down. Utah only gives up 2.93 gpg themselves and they have been at their best when they slow the tempo down. Expect this game to be a grind from the start with scoring chances being at premium. Grab the under. I'm good with the juice.

Sunday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Dallas and Buffalo meet in their final regular season game and this is a good under spot. Both teams are going to just look to get out of this healthy. It’s been a successful season for both of these teams and they come into play with 4 game winning streaks each. Oettinger will be in goal for Dallas to prep himself for the playoffs and he owns a GAA of just 2.59. Buffalo will have Ellis between the pipes and he owns a GAA of just 2.91 while going 8-4-1 on the season. Neither team will look to push tempo and we’ll see scoring chances at a premium. Back the under.

Wednesday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Colorado and Edmonton meet and this is a great over spot. Both of these teams have firepower offensively and we’ll see two of the best in Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid. Colorado averages 3.70 gpg while Edmonton is at 3.44 so far this season. Both teams are very attack minded and will pepper the opposing net, while crashing for rebounds. Given the aggressive offensive styles, we will also see plenty of counter attacks producing a lot of goal scoring chances. The Avs have had some goaltender issues over the last few months and combined with this game being wide open, we’ll get plenty of prime goal scoring attempts. Back the over.

Monday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Calgary and Dallas have value to the over. Calgary has had a disappointing year overall and as of late they’ve been playing some wide open games. Their last 4 games have featured at least 8 goals, as we’re seeing this young team really play faster. Dallas averages 3.29 gpg and we’ve seen this offense really wear down opposing defenses at times. This will be a game where they do just that, while Calgary puts an emphasis on trying to get out on the counter attack. Grab the over.

Tuesday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Colorado and Dallas meet and we’re on the over. These two teams love to crash the net and they aren’t shy about pushing the tempo. Colorado averages 3.78 gpg while Dallas sits at 3.33 gpg. This is a game where both teams will look to get out early and put an emphasis on crashing the net looking for rebounds. The aggressive style both ways will produce many scoring chances and we’ll see a lot of end to end action. Back the over.

Saturday 4* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

San Jose and Anaheim battle and we’re on the over. Both of these offenses love to play with a lot of tempo and they aren’t shy about pushing the issue. Anaheim averages 3.26 gpg, but also is one of the worst defensively at 3.46 gpg against. San Jose is just above them at 3.56 gpg against as these two defenses constantly get burned by the counter attack. Expect plenty of goal scoring opportunities both ways as we’ll see a lot of end to end action, with both teams looking to crash the net. This is a great spot for a lot of goals. Back the over.

Wednesday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Vancouver and Vegas meet and we’re on the under. Vegas was at the center of the NHL news after firing their coach and hired John Tortorella to finish the season off. Vegas has been incredibly inconsistent all year and their issues have come from their inability to generate quality looks on net. Playing a Vancouver team that really slows things down won’t help either. Vancouver only averages 2.60 gpg and they love to turn games into more possession based ones. Expect this game to be slow and feature minimal scoring chances. Back the under.

Monday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Montreal and Carolina meet and we’re on the over. These are two teams who push the tempo and this will be a wide open game. Montreal averages 3.51 gpg while Carolina is at 3.48.

Sunday 3* NHL O/U Play

Saturday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Minnesota and Tampa Bay meet and we’re on the over. Both offenses have a lot of playmakers and they love to pepper the opposing net. Minnesota is averaging 3.23 gpg, while Tampa Bay is at 3.58 gpg themselves. This will be a game where both teams look to push the tempo and put an emphasis on crashing the net. Tampa Bay has seen at least 7 goals combined in each of their last 4 games and this game should be no different. Expect plenty of end to end action, with this game featuring plenty of good scoring chances. Back the over.

Tuesday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Ottawa and the Rangers meet and we’re on the over. The Rangers mess of a season has continued as they’ve just fallen apart once again defensively. They’re giving up well over 3 gpg and during this 4 game listing f stretch, they’ve allowed 19 goals. Ottawa is going to set the pace for this game and force the Rangers to turn their speed up. This will be a back and forth game all night long with both teams producing scoring chances. Grab the over.

Monday 2* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Boston and Washington meet and this is a good under spot. This game is going to be played at Washington’s pace as they love to slow things down. They give up only 2.91 gpg and they have a stellar defense that is one of the best at clearing the zone. Boston has been inconsistent all season offensively and they’re going to struggle to generate quality looks. Expect a very slow developing game with both teams working to possess the pucks. Counter attacks will be limited in a game with scoring chances at a minimum. Back the under.

Saturday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and St. Louis battle and this is an over spot. Edmonton allowed 7 goals on Thursday as once again this defense has just been abysmal. This has been a common theme for them, especially as of late, as they’re just allowing a lot of open looks in their zone. They’re giving up 3.41 gpg and that number has gone up over the last month plus. The Blues give up 3.29 gpg themselves and they’re going to have their hands full with this Edmonton attack. Expect this game to be fast paced and for both teams to look to crash the net. Grab the over.

Friday 4* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Colorado meet and this is a great over spot. Edmonton continues to be one of the highest scoring teams in the league sitting at 3.55 gpg. However, they run into a team that is even better at 3.79 gpg as Colorado has just continued to be so threatening. This game will be filled with playmakers and a lot of pace, which benefits the over tremendously. Expect a back and forth game where both teams will pepper the opposing net. Given the pace, counterattacks will also play a huge part in a game that will feature a lot of scoring chances. Back the over.

Tuesday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Columbus and Los Angeles meet in a makeup game with an early start time on Monday. This is a great spot for the under given the situation. Columbus will have Greaves in goal and he’s been far more consistent this season and he’s come up in many huge spots. He has a SV% of .909 and he’s only allowed 2 goals in each of his last two starts. Los Angeles is one of the worst offensive teams in the league averaging just 2.56 gpg and they have struggled all season to generate quality looks. This is a great spot for a sluggish game with the start time and travel for the Kings and we will see both sides work a lot of possession. Grab the under.

Monday 3* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Carolina meet and this is a good line on the over. Edmonton has flown over the total recently and while this is one of the most dangerous offenses at 3.55 gpg, they’re struggling defensively. They’ve consistently given up 4+ goals with the exception of one 8-1 win in their recent games and the Canes offense will have a field day with them. Carolina averages 3.22 gpg themselves and with how well both offenses have performed, this is a great over spot. Back the over.

Friday 2* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Buffalo and Pittsburgh meet and this is a great over spot. Both of these teams love to play with speed and push the puck, which should result in a lot of quick scoring chances. Buffalo averages 3.38 gpg and because of how quick they play, they allow a lot of counter attacks. They’re giving up over 3 gpg and Pittsburgh is one of the best at crashing the net. The Pens are right there offensively at 3.38 gpg themselves and they’re going to pepper this Buffalo net. Expect end to end action with both teams producing quality looks. Grab the over.

Thursday 4* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Ottawa meet and this is a good over spot. Edmonton right now has been playing with a lot of pace and they’re seeing the result of that be high scoring games. They finished with all 5 games in February having 7 or more goals in total and their season numbers sit at 3.52 gpg while conceding 3.33. Ottawa isn’t far behind with 3.29 gpg while giving up 3.13. This game will feature a lot of end to end action with both teams peppering the opposing net. Expect a lot of scoring chances and for this game to feature a lot of goals. Back the over.

Tuesday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Calgary and San Jose have value to the under. Neither of these teams like to push the tempo offensively and this game should be played very slowly. San Jose averages 3.07 gpg, but even that number has decreased over the last month. Calgary has one of the worst offenses in the NHL at 2.50 gpg and their attack is so stagnant. Neither team likes to pepper the net as they both like to work the puck around. These first few games will feature lower scoring chances out of the long layoff and this game will have scoring at a premium. Grab the under.

Thursday 3* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Columbus and Chicago meet and this is a good under spot. Columbus had a hard fought game in New Jersey Tuesday night and the quick turnaround should force them to slow this game down. These two teams met last week in a 4-2 game that stayed under, as Chicago’s offense just doesn’t have enough spark. They average only 2.70 gpg and they have struggled mightily when it comes to generating good looks on net. Expect a slow developing and low scoring game here. Back the under.

Wednesday 4% NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Toronto have value to the over. These two teams love to play with a ton of pace and they’re going to have end to end action all night. Edmonton allows well over 3 gpg, but they average 3.45 gpg themselves. They’ve had 7 or more goals in each of their last 5 games and the Maple Leafs offensively are going to have plenty of scoring chances. Toronto puts up 3.25 gpg and concedes 3.41, as their similar style will cause this game to have a lot of shots on net. Grab the over.

Tuesday 2% NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and San Jose meet and we’re on the over in this game. These two offenses love to play with a ton of pace and they have been lighting up the scoreboard as of late. Edmonton has scored a combined 13 goals in their last two games, while San Jose has put up 8 goals combined in their last two. Both teams average well over 3 gpg and we’re going to see this be a back and forth game all night long. San Jose has shown they don’t back down from top teams, so expect them to have just as much of an attack as Edmonton. Grab the over.

Thursday 3% NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Colorado and Ottawa meet and this is a good over spot. Ottawa comes in with a lot of momentum offensively, as they’re off a 7 goal performance against the Golden Knights last time out. They average 3.29 gpg and they’re not shy about peppering the net. Colorado has seen some leaky defense as of late, but this offense continues to be one of the best in the league. They average nearly 4 gpg and they just have so many weapons who can come at opposing defenses from so many different angles. Grab the over.

Wednesday 2% NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Columbus and New Jersey have value to the under. The Devils were shutout 4-0 in Toronto on Tuesday and had to get into a snowy Columbus immediately after the game. The travel and coming in on a low will certainly hurt a Devils side that has scored just 2.7 gpg this season. Columbus continued to be inconsistent on both ends of the ice, but offensively they have gone through far more spurts where they can’t find the back of the net. This will be a tightly played game where neither side is able to get themselves many clean looks. Grab the under.

Wednesday 6* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Pittsburgh and Toronto have value to the over. The Maple Leafs are leaking oil right now and it’s mostly due to their struggles definitely. Losing in 5 of 6, they’ve given up 23 goals in those 5 losses and now have to face a Pens team that plays quick. Pittsburgh averages over 3 gpg and they’re off a 4 goal performance against Montreal. This a great spot for a game where there’s plenty of scoring chances both ways. Back the over.

Tuesday 9* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Columbus and Florida have value to the under. Jet Greaves will be back in goal for the Jackets and he makes a world of a difference when he’s in between the pipes. Greaves owns a SV% of .901 and gives up just 2.81 gpg. Bobrovsky will go up against his former team and he has similar numbers as he’s been able to have a lot of early season success. Neither team will put together many 2nd or 3rd chances against these goaltenders in a game that has limited scoring chances. Back under.

Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Columbus and Toronto have value to the under here on Wednesday. Both teams continue to deal with injuries and they’re going to be missing some key players. Toronto will become Matthews and Knies once again, removing two big weapons from the side. Columbus will miss Jenner and Marchenko, who both are huge scoring threats for this Columbus offense. Expect both teams to struggle to produce scoring chances as this game will be played at a much slower pace than these teams are used to. Grab the under.

Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Pittsburgh and Nashville have value to the under. This will be a game in Sweden and we’ve seen Pittsburgh cool off from their hot start to the year. They’re not getting much going offensively now like they were and they run into a Nashville side that plays slower. The Preds only average 2.56 gpg and they’re going to slow this game down tremendously. Grab the under.

Friday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

The Devils and Blackhawks meet and this is a good over spot. Chicago has been incredibly surprising so far this season and they’ve rattled off 3 in a row coming into play. Offensively, they’ve put up 14 goals in that span as they continue to crash the net and produce multiple scoring opportunities. The Devils have plenty of weapons themselves that will pick apart this Chicago defense. New Jersey and Chicago both are averaging 3.31 gpg and this is a great spot to expect a back and forth game. Grab the over.

Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Pittsburgh and New Jersey meet and we’re on the under. This total opens high, but the early start time will throw things off for both teams. These two teams play a very similar style of hockey and this should lead to both sides struggling to create scoring chances. The Penguins only give up 2.73 gpg and they are tough to crack defensively as they’re one of the best at not allowing clean shots on net. Expect a slow developing game and for this game to feature limited scoring chances. Grab the under.

Saturday 3% NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Edmonton and St. Louis meet and the over is the move. The Blues are just a wreck defensively and this is such an awful matchup for them. The Blues have given up 4.17 gpg so far this season and they just haven’t been able to clear their own zone. They’re giving up so many chances per possession and the Oilers have the weapons to cause a lot of issues in this matchup. The pace both teams play at will benefit the over and we’ll see plenty of goal scoring chances.

Monday 9* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

San Jose and Pittsburgh have value to the under. This will be the third and final road game of this west coast swing for the Penguins. They’ll return home after this and typically in these situational spots we see teams struggle to produce goals. The Sharks have struggled themselves out of the game with their inconsistent play and they’ll have issues against a Pens team that just held the Kings to 2 goals in a win last time out. Expect a very slow developing game here. Back the under.

Saturday 9* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

San Jose and Utah meet on Friday and this is an under spot. Utah’s offense is going to have many issues this season. They’re averaging just 2.00 gpg so far this season through the early portion and they lack any sort of attack near the net. The Sharks scored just once last game and they will play down to the slow pace Utah comes out with. Don’t expect many prime scoring opportunities and neither team really looks to crash the net. Grab the under.

Friday 6* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Toronto and Nashville meet on Tuesday and this is a great under spot. Toronto is on the 2nd game of their back to back where they struggled to generate offense in Detroit on Monday. Toronto is going to run into a slow tempo Nashville team and this game is going to feature a lot more possession vs these teams trying to attack the net. Nashville has played to the under in all 3 games and they’ll slow this game down. Toronto will struggle with the pace and the tired legs will force them into more of a defensive battle. Grab the under.

Tuesday 9* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Edmonton and Florida shift the series to Florida and this is a good under spot. After splitting the first two, these two teams have to make some defensive adjustments. With the series even, this will be a much more conservative game where neither team wants to make the first mistake. We’re going to see a much more slower developing game where both teams look control the possession. With this game being much tighter, we’re going to get much more intensity on the defensive end both ways. Grab the under.

Monday 9* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

The Oilers and Stars meet in Game 4 and we’re on the over. Edmonton’s offense is rolling right now as they put up 6 goals in Game 3 and they have been clicking all postseason. Averaging nearly 4 gpg, they are coming at the Stars from so many different angles and they’re putting together tons of scoring chances. Dallas is going to have to pick up the pace themselves and push tempo on the Oilers to keep up. This will be a wide open game and we’ll see a lot of offensive adjustments from the Stars, who have the weapons to keep up. Look for a high energy game with both teams producing scoring chances. Back the over.

Tuesday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Panthers and Canes shift the series to Florida and this is an over game. Florida has had their way offensively so far and really all postseason. They have scored 10 goals through the first two games of this series and they’re averaging nearly 4.0 gpg in the postseason. Carolina is going to have to match the pace and start putting pucks on net. This will be a back and forth game where both teams are going to produce scoring chances. Grab the over.

Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Winnipeg and Dallas meet in Game 6 and this is a good spot for the over. This should be a wide open up game as it’s an elimination game for the Jets. This series has been high paced and high energy and we’ve seen Hellebuyck struggle on the road significantly this postseason. Dallas has had no problem scoring as they’re putting up goals in flurries at times during these playoffs. Winnipeg will have to match the pace and this game should be back and forth all night long. Both goalies have had their share of issues and this game will have a lot of goal scoring chances. Grab the over.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 5.5

Dallas and Winnipeg battle in Game 2 and this is a good under spot. These two teams played to an under game in Game 1 and this one should be tightly contested as well. Oettinger and Hellebuyck are both playing at such a high level right now and this will be a game where scoring chances are at a premium. Look for both teams to struggle to get rebounds and for this game to be played with a very slow tempo. Both teams are defensive minded and that’ll be showcased here in Game 2. These were two of the best defenses in the league during the regular season and we’ll see that in display Friday night. Back the under.

Friday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

The Caps and Pens close the season out and this is a good over game. Washington is using this as a tuneup, while the Pens are looking to just close the season out with some positives. Both of these teams typically produce a lot of fireworks when they meet and this game should be played much looser as well. We're going to see scoring chances at both ends and a lot of open play, resulting in many rebound attempts. This is a good spot to expect plenty of goal scoring opportunities in what will be an over game. Back the Over.

Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

The Jackets are on life support, but this team battles at home and they’re going to come out firing again. The offensive numbers go up significantly when the Jackets play at home and Washington hasn’t looked sharp defensively either as of late. This has the makings of a wide open game where both teams look to push the tempo and try to open this game up early. Both sides average well above 3 gpg and they’re going to pepper the opposing net. Grab the over as it’s typically a high scoring, entertaining game with a lot of fireworks when these two teams meet. Back the over. 

Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Kings and Kraken meat and were on the over. This Kings offense is rolling right now and they’re finding the back of the net plenty. They  have won 4 straight and in that span they’ve had performances of 8, 4, 4, and 3 goals. They’re peppering the net and they’re crashing the net, which will overwhelm the Kraken defensively here. Seattle is playing loose offensively themselves and they’ve scored 10 goals combined in their last two games. Look for plenty of goal scoring chances both ways. 

Monday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Hawks and Caps meet and this is a good under spot. The Blackhawks aren’t just phoning in the season as they’re playing tough and giving some good teams issues. They’re playing at a slower pace and it’s throwing some of these teams off. Look for them to come out and put emphasis on possession, throwing the Caps off their rhythm. Chicago only scores 2.69 gpg and they’re going to see one of the best defenses as Washington is conceding 2.68 gpg. This has the makings of a tightly played game throughout, giving value to the under. 

Friday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Columbus and Nashville clash and this is a good over spot. Columbus is right in the thick of the wild card race and last home game they scored 7 goals in a win over Vancouver. They play incredibly fast at home and this is going to be a game where they look to get out early. Nashville is playing loose given they’re eliminated and that should provide a wide open game back and forth. Look for both teams to produce goal scoring chances throughout and for these two teams to pepper the opposing net. Grab the over. 

Tuesday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Dallas and Edmonton meet on TNT and this is a great over spot. Both offenses play with such tempo and this game should be a lot of back and forth. The Stars are averaging 3.36 gpg, while Edmonton is at 3.27. Both teams are clicking right now and this game should be wide open. Look for both sides to pepper the opposing net and for rebounds to produce a lot of scoring chances. We’re getting good value on this number in a game that’ll feature plenty of goal scoring opportunities. Back the over.

Wednesday 9* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Detroit and Colorado have value to the over. The Red Wings come in with momentum after scoring 5 goals in a beat down of the Utah Hockey Club last night. The Wings are finding the back of the net more and more, which is needed given how bad their defense has been all season. They’re giving up 3.17 gpg and this is not a good matchup against Colorado. The Avs have scored a combined 10 goals in their last two games and this offense is one of the best in the NHL averaging 3.34 gpg. Grab the over.

Tuesday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Columbus and the Islanders meet and this is a great under spot. Columbus is free falling and they have struggled to generate looks on net. Their offense is sputtering right now and it won’t get any easier against the Islanders on Monday. New York plays with such a slow tempo and they will have this game producing very minimal scoring chances. Averaging just 2.72 gpg, they will focus on the possession battle and not allowing any quick counter attacks. Expect this game to have a lot of dump and chase possessions, where neither team is able to find open shooting lanes. Grab the under.

Monday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Panthers and Caps have value to the over. These two teams love to play with a ton of tempo and with the goal scoring threats on both sides, we should see a lot of fireworks. The Over has gone 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two sides and this game is going to be played with a ton of pace. Both teams love to pepper the opposing net and they aren't shy about crashing it either. Look for these two teams to create a lot of scoring chances as this game should be wide open from the start. Back the Over.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Washington and New York meet in a crucial game on Wednesday and this is a good under spot. New York comes in after back to back 4-0 shutout performances as this defense has been swarming as of late. They're not giving up many shots on net and they're limiting the opposition to just one shot per possession. The Capitals overall. have also been one of the best defenses in the NHL. They are giving up just 2.59 gpg and they will slow this game down. This should be a game more focused on possession both ways as these two teams love to work to create open shots. There is good value here on the Under. 

Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Rangers and Preds meet on Sunday night and we’re on the under here. These are two offenses that have struggled this season and they have had their issues putting pucks on net. Nashville is averaging well under 3 gpg, while the Rangers are right in that 3 goal area themselves. Their number have fallen as of late on the offensive end and they had many issues last time out against Toronto in a 3-2 loss. Expect this game to be slow paced and for both teams to struggle to find the back of the net.

Sunday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Columbus and Detroit meet inside Ohio Stadium as part of the Stadium Series and this is an over game. These two teams just played to a 5-2 game on Thursday and these outdoor games always seem to be entertaining. Both offenses are built with speed and they’re going to push the tempo on one another as they try to put on a show here. Expect this game to have many counter attacks and for both teams to produce plenty of shots on net. This will be a game where both goaltenders get overwhelmed and we see 2nd and 3rd chances from these teams on net. Back the Over.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Both New York and Pittsburgh have struggled defensively at times and they’re both off games where they gave up 8 goals. This figures to be another high scoring game where both teams will look to attack. The Rangers have plenty of weapons that will come at this Pens defense from many different angles. Pittsburgh is giving up 3.52 gpg and they have struggled mightily to slow teams down. Expect a fast paced game and for both teams to push the tempo on the counter in a high scoring game. Back the over.

Sunday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Blackhawks and Preds meet and this is a good under spot. The Predators are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league and they are struggling right now overall to create shots. They come in averaging just 2.60 gpg and they just have no spark in the opposition’s zone. Chicago is a young team and they’ve been inconsistent on the offensive end themselves this season. They’re even worse at 2.58 gpg as they don’t have the goal scorers who can create scoring chances. This is going to be a game where chances are at the premium. Back the under.

Friday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 5.5

The Jackets and Utah meet and this is a good under spot. Columbus is banged up and they are desperately looking for some help on the offensive end as they’re missing some key pieces. They mustered 2 goals against Buffalo last time out and things won’t get any easier for them here. Utah loves to play a slow paced game and these two teams just played to a 3-2 overtime game last week. This has the makings of a game where neither team is going to push the tempo and we should see scoring chances at a minimum. Grab the under.

Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 5.5

The Stars and Canucks meet and this is a good under spot. Dallas continues to be one of the best teams in the NHL defensively as they’re allowing just 2.46 gpg. This team doesn’t give up many 2nd chances on possessions and their ability to clear the zone is one of the best. They take on a very inconsistent Canucks team that has struggled offensively. This is going to be a slow developing game where neither team looks to get out on the counter. With that, scoring chances will be at a premium. Grab the under.

Friday 8* NHL O/U Play

Under 5.5

The Canucks and Blues meet on Monday and it’s the under with value. Vancouver has been playing to many low scoring games as of late as this offense just isn’t going to overpower anyone. They average just 2.79 gpg and knowing they won’t put many in the back of the net, it’s led them to having to slow the game down. They love to play a possession kind of game and work the puck around, which will certainly benefit the under here. The Blues only average 2.76 gpg themselves as well, which should make this game one where scoring chances are at a premium. Grab the under. 

Monday 9* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Jets and Utah have value on the over. Winnipeg continues to be one of the best offenses in the NHL, averaging 3.47 gpg. They have one of the best attacks and their ability to push toward the net and produce many chances per possession is the biggest key for them. They are going to overwhelm this Utah defense, that will be fatigued from a back to back. Utah has scored at least 3 goals in 5 straight games as they’ve found their groove. Expect plenty of goal scoring chances both ways. Grab the over.

Friday 8* NHL O/U Play

Over 5.5

Florida and LA meet on Wednesday night and this is a good over spot. This total opens low because of the Kings, but this game will be played at the Panthers pace. Florida loves to play quick and they’re going to have a ton of offensive success against a Kings defense that is reeling right now. Florida averages well over 3 gpg and gives up 3 gpg as well, which certainly bodes well for the Kings getting some decent looks on net. This game will feature many scoring chances and is worthy of an over play.

Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Caps and Oilers have value to the over. This total opens lower with McDavid suspended, but the Oilers still have plenty of offensive weapons here. Edmonton averages 3.28 gpg while the Caps are at 3.57. These two offenses love to attack and they’ll both crash the net. Look for plenty of shots on goal and for plenty of rebound opportunities to put the puck in the back of the net. There’s great value on this over.

Tuesday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Montreal and New York both will play in the 2nd leg of a back to back here on Sunday, which will produce a much slower game. This under has great value as these two teams are going to have a lot of fatigue. Montreal was in a back and forth battle all night long with Toronto while the Rangers had to grind out a game against the Blue Jackets. Given the circumstances, this will be a game that is slowed down both ways and we won’t see many scoring chances from either side. Possession will be the key and scoring chances will be at a premium.

Sunday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

The Kraken and Jets have the value to the over. This total opens lower at 5.5, but both offenses can produce scoring chances against the opposing defense. Seattle has seen their last 4 games go over this number with 3 of those having 8 combined goals. The Jets come in off a 6 goal performance themselves and this offense has been one of the best attacking groups all season. They come at defenses from many different angles and they’ll do just that against this Kraken defense. Grab the over.

Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 5.5

The Ducks and Blues have value to the under. These two offenses have been far too inconsistent and this has the makings of a game that will have limited scoring chances. Anaheim comes in averaging 2.52 gpg and they just don’t have any sort of spark offensively. The Blues aren’t far off at 2.71 gpg as they’ve struggled to find any sort of consistency. This will be a game that turns into a grind and neither team will have much of an attack. Grab the under.

Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Flyers and Jackets have value on the under. Columbus has been extremely inconsistent all season long offensively and they’re going to struggle to get going here against a Flyers team that plays super slow. They’re averaging under 3 gpg and they love to turn games into possession battles. Look for this game to be turned into a grind and for neither team to find their rhythm. Scoring chances will be at a premium and we’ll see both offenses struggling to get open looks on net. Grab the under.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Washington and Dallas meet on Monday and this is a good over spot. These two teams love to attack and push the pile toward the opposing net, which should open up a lot of scoring chances. The Caps come in winners of 10 in a row on the road, as they’re clicking on all cylinders right now. Dallas has been solid offensively scoring 3.24 gpg themselves this season as they continue to find success. This will be a back and forth game with both teams producing scoring chances. Grab the over.

Monday 6* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

The Jackets and Ducks meet and this is a good under spot. Both offenses have been inconsistent this season and neither team has really had much of an attack at times. The Ducks are amongst one of the worst offensively, averaging just 2.36 gpg. They are going to struggle here to find any sort of offensive rhythm and they’ll put a focus on slowing this game down. That will put the Jackets into a more possession focused mentality and this will be one where neither team produces many scoring chances. Grab the under in what should be a lower scoring game.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Penguins and Canadiens battle on Thursday and this is a good under spot. Montreal boasts one of the worst offenses in the league as they’re averaging just 2.75 gpg so far this season. They have struggled to generate scoring chances and their inability to attack the net has caused a lot of struggles. Pittsburgh has been incredible inconsistent and they are right there at 2.83 gpg themselves. This has the makings of a very slow developing style game where both teams work the puck around and possession is the key. Grab the under.

Thursday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Projected Starting Goalies: Arvid Soderblom vs. Igor Shesterkin. This is a good under spot on the Rangers and Blackhawks. Chicago is one of the worst teams offensively as they’re putting up just 2.41 gpg. They have struggle to find any sort of spark as they just don’t have the weapons to find the back of the net. This will be a much slower developing kind of game and it’ll result in very minimal scoring chances. The Rangers concede just over 3 gpg, but they will put the clamps down against this weak Chicago offense. This will be one where possession dominates over scoring attempts and shots as we’ll see both teams struggle to put the puck on net. Grab the under.

Monday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Panthers and Sharks meet on Saturday and this is a great spot for the under. This game is going to be slowed down by the Sharks, who will look to knock the Panthers off their rhythm. Florida has struggled at times with teams like San Jose, who love to play more of a possession game. They’re averaging just 2.79 gpg and they will come out and slow this game down and turn it into a grind. That’ll benefit the under, as they won’t allow Florida to get out and counter while they’re putting an emphasis on working the puck around. This is a good game to look for minimal scoring chances and for both teams to struggle generating open shots. Grab the under.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Seattle and Carolina will meet on Tuesday and this is a game where scoring chances should come on both ends. Carolina is one of the quickest teams in the league and they play with a ton of pace. They’re one of the best at finding the back of the net as they’re averaging 3.73 gpg so far this season. They’re going to crash the net and get out on counter attacks here against Seattle as they can come at teams from so many different angles. On the other side of it, Seattle is the going to open things up themselves. This will be a game where its end to end action both teams will look to pepper the opposing net with shots. Grab the over in what will be an entertaining game from the start.

Tuesday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

Dallas and Utah square off and this is a great spot for an under. Utah has started to really slow their pace down and they’re averaging just 2.88 gpg so far this season. They haven’t had much of an attack at times and this game figures to be the same kind of situation. Dallas is one of the best defensively and they only concede 2.61 gpg themselves. This will be one where the Stars control the possession and this game turns into a slower developing one from the outset. Look for minimal scoring chances, especially early, as both teams will look to try and not make the first mistake. Grab the under. 

Monday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Edmonton and Colorado clash on Saturday and this is a good spot for an over game. The pace these two teams play with is so fast and it opens up many things both ways offensively. The Oilers have seen their last 4 games feature 7 goals twice and 8 goals in the other two as they’re getting a lot of scoring chances, while also giving up a lot. On the flip side, the Avs are scoring 3.30 gpg, while also conceding 3.65. They have struggled mightily defensively and it’s led them to pushing the issue more offensively. This will be a game both teams will attack and crash the net, producing a lot of goal scoring chances. Back the over.

Saturday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

This will be the first time Dallas and Colorado meet since their battle in the West Semis and this is a good spot for an over bet. These two teams played to a high scoring and entertaining series last year and this will be another game where the tempo is high. Dallas scores 3.38 gpg and they tend to play much better offensively at home as well. They will push tempo on teams and they aren’t shy about crashing the net. Thats going to open things up for the counter and Colorado loves to get out and find some quick chances. They score 3.30 gpg, but their issues sit on the defensive end where they give up 3.65 gpg. This will be a back and forth game all night long with both teams finding chances.

Black Friday 9* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Vegas and Colorado clash on Wednesday night and we’re on the over here. This game should be wide open as both teams are playing to high scoring games. Vegas has won 3 straight and scored a combined 14 goals in those 3 games. They put in 3.86 gpg on average and their ability to produce scoring chances is one of the best in the league. They can create a lot from open play and they’re relentless when it comes to crashing the net. The Avs are similar and they are putting in 3.41 gpg, while conceding 3.77. This will be a back and forth game all night long where both teams find the back of the net.

Wednesday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

New York and Carolina meet and this is a good spot on the over. Carolina is one of the top offenses in the NHL, as they’re averaging 4.00 gpg. They’ve combined for 10 goals over their last 2 games and they just have so many different weapons that can attack. They’re going to overwhelm this Rangers defense and force them on their heels early. New York will have their counter attack chances and this will turn it into a quick tempo game. Grab the over in what should be back and forth all night long.

Wednesday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Saturday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Tampa Bay and Columbus meet on Thursday night and we’re on the over. This will be a wide open game as we’ve seen Columbus have much more of an attack when playing at home. The Jackets have played well against some of the top teams as well, coming in after defeating the Bruins and scoring 5 goals. They’re a young team who will attack and that’ll open things up for the Lightning on the counter. Tampa Bay has so many different playmakers and they’ll come at Columbus from many different angles here. Expect a lot of fireworks and end to end action in a game where both teams produce a lot of scoring chances. Back the over.

Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Edmonton and Ottawa clash on Tuesday and this is a great spot for a game that’ll feature a lot of back and forth action. Both teams love to pick up the tempo and that’s going to open a lot of things up here for both sides. The Oilers have a compliment of playmakers and they just come at teams from so many different angles. They’ve struggled defensively because of their aggressive offense at times and Ottawa will have their chances on the counter attack. The Sens are averaging 3.24 gpg as they can produce a lot of scoring chances themselves from open play. Expect a game with both teams putting pressure on the net and for them to find the back of the net early in this one to get things rolling.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

UNDER 6

Columbus and Boston will meet inside TD Garden and this is a good under spot. Boston is playing up and down right now and they’ve seen a decline in their goal scoring through this early part of the season. They’re having issues to put pucks on net and this will be a slower paced game on Monday. Boston will try to control the possession and Columbus won’t get out and try to counter by any means. They’re struggling to find the back of the net themselves and their youth is being exposed during this recent tough stretch for them. This will be a game where scoring chances are at a premium and we’re getting a good number on the total.

Monday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

The Canucks and Preds meet on Sunday night and this is a good spot on the under here. Vancouver has been at their best when they can step up defensively and they’re going to come out with that mentality here on Sunday. This will be a game played slower and possession focused as Nashville is in the midst of an offensive slump themselves. They’ve scored just 4 goals over the last 3 games and their issues have come from generating scoring chances. They aren’t creating open shots and they’re getting minimal looks. This will be a game where scoring chances are at a premium and it’ll be a slow paced game from the start. Grab the under.

Sunday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6

Ottawa and Toronto meet on Tuesday and this is a good spot for an under. It’s still likely that Matthews will be out for the Leafs which takes away a huge piece of this offense. Toronto has seen the last 6 games feature 6 goals or less with 5 of those being below 5 goals. They’re playing extremely slow and their defense is one of the best in the NHL. G Anthony Stolarz will be in net with a .930 SV% and he’s allowed just 1 goal combined over his last 2 starts. Ottawa has been wildly inconsistent offensively and they’re going to struggle with this defense from Toronto. This will be a grind of a game and neither team will give up anything easy on the defensive end. Grab the under.

Tuesday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

Winnipeg and Colorado will figure to be two teams right in the thick of it when it’s all said and done and they meet on Thursday night. The Jets fast start as been attributed to their ability to put the puck in the back of the net. They have been one of the best teams offensively and they’re on a roll. They’ve scored at least 3 goals in all but 2 games as their fast pace has been tough for teams to handle. They come at teams from so many different angles and that’s going to be the case here. The Avs have had issues defensively themselves and it’s resulted in them having to try to get out on the counter attack themselves. This will be a back and forth all game. Grab the over.

Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play

Under 6

The Jets welcome in Utah on Tuesday and this is a good spot on the under. Utah has come back to reality after a hot start and they’re struggling overall on the offensive end. Their struggles have come from generating shots and scoring chances, as it’s been tough sledding for them. Winnipeg has came out of the gates fast and they’ve found a ton of success themselves with their ability to control the puck. They love to work the puck around and they’ll play to wear down the opposition. That’s going to be the case here as they will work things around and chew a lot of the clock. Possession will be key and neither team will get out on the counter, giving the under good value in this spot. 

Tuesday 7* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Flames will head into Montreal and this is a good under spot. Both of these teams tend to play to a slower pace and this matchup will be one where neither team looks to push the tempo on each other. Calgary has lost 5 in a row and their inability to create chances has been a struggle from the start. They’re going to have their hands full with this Montreal defense, that doesn’t give up many open looks either. On the flip side, Montreal is going to struggle themselves with the same. They scored just 1 goal against the Pens last time out and they have been trying to find consistency. This is a good opportunity for this to be a lower scoring game. Grab the under.  

Tuesday 8* NHL O/U Play

UNDER 6.5

The Devils and Ducks battle on Sunday night and this is a good under spot. The Devils have been playing a ton of games right out of the gate as they’ve played an NHL high 11 games so far. They’ve played 3 back to backs and come in off their 4th straight loss on Friday. They’re battling fatigue and they’re not going to have the relentless attack that they like to play with here. Also playing into this is the fact that the Ducks have played a lot of games on the road as they won’t see their home ice until Nov. 3. Anaheim is a slower paced team that loves to work the puck around and they’ll put an emphasis on dictating the possession here. They aren’t ones to pepper the net as they’ll control the puck in the Devils zone and try to create open shots. Expect this game to have limited scoring chances and for neither team to push out on the counter attack.

Sunday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 5.5

Dallas and Boston battle on Thursday night inside TD Garden and we’re on the over in this one. These two teams are poised for big seasons and Boston has to get themselves going here as they’ve came out of the gates slowly. Boston has had defensive issues to start this year and their inability to clear the zone has been a struggle. Dallas is a team that will put on relentless pressure and they’re going to put an emphasis on crashing the net here. Boston is 2-1 at home so far this season and they’ve tallied 11 goals in that span as they’ve had much better offensive rhythm here at the Garden. They’ll go at the Stars with a similar attack and crash the net as this game should feature a lot of scoring chances both ways. Look for an aggressive style kind of game that is open and will see a lot of goals. 

Thursday 7* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Edmonton welcomes in Carolina on Tuesday and we’re on the over here as these two offenses should produce many scoring chances. Edmonton has stumbled out of the gates a bit as their defense has let them down. In their 4 losses so far this season, the Oilers have allowed 4 goals twice, 5 goals, and then 6 goals in their opener. They’ve had issues controlling the counter attack and opposing teams crashing the net. Carolina plays a very aggressive style and that’s going to cause so many issues for the Oilers in this one. The Canes have been similar when it comes to their losses as well. They’ve conceded 4 goals in both of them and they’ve had issues in a similar capacity when it comes to allowing counter attacks. This should be a wide open game where both teams attack the net and it ‘s played with a lot of speed. Back the over.

Tuesday 8* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6.5

The Ducks and Avs battle on Friday night and we’re playing the over here. This should be a game that is wide open with end to end action as both teams love to play with speed. The Avalanche have started the season 0-4 and they’ve been atrocious on the defensive end. They’ve given up 25 goals over the 4 games as they just are getting peppered on net. The Ducks are going to crash the net and push the issue here. Colorado is going to counter as they’ve had zero issues scoring goals themselves too. They’ve still managed to put in 13 goals despite their defensive issues and this will be a game they try to get out quickly. Expect plenty of goal scoring chances both ways.

Friday 9* NHL O/U Play

OVER 6

Ottawa and LA both come in after losses and will look to bounce back here. This should be a wide open game as both teams are going to try and put an emphasis on getting an early goal. In both losses, these teams scored 1 goal each after they both scored 3 in their opener. These two teams are their best when they can out a lot of traffic in front of the net and work with a lot of rebounds. This will be the kind of game that both teams try to push the tempo on each other and pepper the opposing net. The Kings are settled in here as this is their 3rd road game in 7 to start the season because of their stadium renovations. These are the games where they have their legs underneath them and it’ll be much more open. Expect an early goal to set the tone and for this game to be high scoring.

Monday 9* NHL O/U Play

Under 5.5

We’re on the under here as Edmonton and Florida clash in Game 7. It’s been a crazy Stanley Cup and right now, all the momentum is on the side of the Oilers as they’ve erased a 3-0 deficit to come back here and make it 3-3. Game 7 is going to be back in Florida and this is going to be such a tightly played game. No matter what, you can throw records out the window for this game as both teams will come in with a tentative strategy to start. You’re going to see a lot more possession as neither side wants to give up the early goal. This is going to be such a slow developing game and neither team will give up much on the rebounding side. Expect both goaltenders to be at their best and for this game to be tight throughout. In games like this, defense is the main focus for teams and there’s good value for that to be the case here.
