01-23-24 | Lightning v. Flyers -104 | Top | 6-3 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 0 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday PHILADELPHIA - The Flyers host the Lightning and Philly has lost B2B games and that is significant because part of the key to their strong season has been the ability to bounce back and avoid longer losing streaks. A streak more than 2 games to the negative has been rare for Philly and they also have the home ice edge here and Tampa Bay is coming off a road loss at Detroit and they have struggled overall on the road this season. Tippett is out for the Flyers but they are otherwise healthy and they take advantage of a Bolts team that has lost 9 of last 14 road games. PHILADELPHIA -105 |

01-22-24 | Panthers v. Predators OVER 6 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Nashville Predators vs Florida Panthers @ 8 ET - We get line value here because of the recent lower-scoring trending in NHL games. This one is set up well to be one of the outliers that cruises to at least the 7-goal mark and I like the fact we have the added value of a 6 being available as the current posted total in this one. I know Nashville is off a 3-2 loss but they have had some bigger recent scoring outputs. The Predators have now allowed 3.3 goals per game last 8 games but they also have scored 3 goals in each of last 4 home games. Look for the Preds to again score well here as the Panthers have been struggling in terms of goals conceded. However, this talented Florida attack will also prove dangerous here. The Panthers average high shots on goal per game and they, along with the Preds, have a talented power play. Florida has allowed 4 goals per game in their last 4 games. However, the Panthers also have scored 4.3 goals in their last 7 road games! This one has all the makings of one of those games where each team gets to the 3-goal mark! 10* OVER 6 in Nashville |
|||||||
01-21-24 | Maple Leafs v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -118 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Seattle vs Toronto @ 9:07 ET - The Maple Leafs continue to score well but can not stop anybody. That is why I look for goals to fly here because the Kraken continue to allow too many goals. I know Seattle is struggling to score these days but facing a leaky Leafs defense will help in that regard as Toronto just can not keep the puck out of their own net of late. That has played a big role in why the Leafs have had 7 straight games total at least 6 goals and those games averaged 7.4 goals per game. The Kraken have allowed 4 goals per game last 4 games overall and Seattle has scored 3.7 goals per game in last 6 home games. 10* OVER 6 in Seattle |
|||||||
01-19-24 | Devils v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 -120 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs New Jersey Devils @ 7:07 - The Blue Jackets have seen 12 of last 18 games total at least 7 goals. Those 12 games have averaged 9 goals apiece! This is a great situation because Columbus comes in with added confidence too off a big 4-3 shootou win over Vancouver. The Devils have surprisingly trended toward unders the last 3 games but this was after their last 7 games had averaged 8 goals apiece. Given that fact plus the way the Jackets have been trending, you can see why goals are in the forecast here. I know the Devils have some injury issues but Merzlikins likely to be in goal here for Columbus and he had been sitting for 6 games before coming in and getting that win over the Canucks. I am not sold on him truly being "back" just yet. These teams met twice last month and one totaled 7 goals and the other totaled 9 goals. More of the same expected here. 10* OVER 6.5 -120 in Columbus |

01-18-24 | Stars v. Flyers +117 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 117 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
NHL Thursday Philadelphia Flyers +115 vs Dallas Stars @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers lost the first meeting this season in OT at Dallas so they are out for revenge here and have won 4 straight games. Though the Stars are a strong team, they are still over-valued here on the road. They have won their last two road games but had lost 5 of their 7 most recent road games prior to that. Also, Dallas enters this game off B2B wins but this followed losses in 4 of 6 games. The Stars last two wins have come against a slumping Kings team and a Blackhawks club that is one of the worst in the league. Now the Stars are on the road facing a solid Flyers club that has been hot. PHILADELPHIA +115 |
|||||||
01-18-24 | Canadiens v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
NHL Thursday OVER 6.5 -135 in Ottawa Senators vs Montreal Canadiens @ 7:07 ET - Canadiens are in a B2B which means they will start Primeau in goal and he has not played much so rust will be a factor here. Ottawa is rested and will look to take advantage but the issues for the Senators is their goalie has struggled. Korpisalo will get the start here and he has a rough .862 save percentage in his last 12 appearances. The Sens 11 of last 15 games have totaled at least 7 goals and this one will get to at least that as well. OVER 6.5 -135 in Ottawa |
|||||||
01-18-24 | Blues v. Capitals -111 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
NHL Thursday Washington Capitals -110 vs St Louis Blues @ 7:07 ET - The Caps recently got TJ Oshie back. Now it looks like Alex Ovechkin could be back tonight after being a full participant in practice today. Even if he Ovie is not able to go (game time decision) I still like the Capitals plenty in this one. Binnington has been inconsistent in goal this season for St Louis and the Blues have struggled on the road. Washington has been getting solid goaltending from Lindgren this season too and he is now back on the ice and has continued playing well since his return. Kuemper also gave them a shutout win in the Caps most recent game. On home ice and playing better of late and Oshie has 2 goals and an assist last 3 games and it is huge that he is back now plus Ovechkin might join him tonight. WASHINGTON -110 |

01-17-24 | Canadiens v. Devils OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 +105 in New Jersey Devils vs Montreal Canadiens @ 7:07 ET - The Canadiens off a huge 4-3 win over Colorado. Montreal has been playing better of late and should keep scoring well here but coming off the big win sets them up well for giving up plenty of goals here. That's because they face a Devils team that will be angry off the 3-0 loss at Boston. Prior to that, New Jersey had scored an average of 4 goals per game last 10 games. The Devils have allowed 3.4 goals per game last 7 games. The Habs have seen 10 of last 15 games total at least 7 goals. This one, given the situation, is also destined for 7 or more goals. I know Montembeault and Daws have both been solid between the pipes lately but Daws is still very inexperienced at the NHL level and there is a reason Montembeault has never started more than 39 games in an NHL season in his 5-year career. 10* OVER 6.5 +105 |
|||||||
01-17-24 | Red Wings v. Panthers OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 20 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:07 ET - I know Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon has been playing well and has moved from being Detroit's #3 guy to actually being their #1 between the pipes. However, he also played for Florida prior to this. If anyone knows his style of play between the pipes is it this Panthers team as he was with Florida last season. This is his 4th team in 4 years. There is a reason for that of course. As for the Panthers, they will have Bobrovsky between the pipes and he is known for being a streaky goalie and he has allowed 9 goals in last 3 games after a hot run so it definitely looks like he is in one of those cooling periods right now. Look for a lot of goals here as Florida is a confident group when at home and scores well here while the Red Wings have a full head of steam here based on recent overall hot streak. Detroit has won 5 of 6 and scored an average of 4 goals during this hot run. The Wings are off a 4-2 but this was preceded by 9 of 12 games totaling at least 7 goals. The Panthers have scored an average of 4 goals last 11 games and had won 9 in a row before B2B losses. The goals will fly in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Florida |
|||||||
01-16-24 | Coyotes v. Flames OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Calgary Flames vs Arizona Coyotes @ 9 ET - The Flames top goalie is Markstrom and he had been playing well. But he is out with an injury here. The goalie will be Vladar and he has not started in over a week plus that was an ugly outing. Speaking of ugly outings, he has a 3.42 GAA this season so he has been tonight special. Markstrom is not even well enough to back him up here so Wolf was recalled from the AHL for this start. Not a good goalie situation for a Flames team facing a Coyotes club looking for some payback after a 6-2 loss in the most recent meetings. That said, the goals should be flying here because, prior to a 6-0 shutout win Arizona was allowing a lot of goals. They face a Calgary team that got back on track again and has been scoring well. The Flames have won 6 of 8 games and scored 4 goals per game during this run. The Coyotes had allowed 4 goals per game last 8 games before that big 6-0 win. Arizona's last 3 games before that all totaled at least 7 goals. 10* OVER 6.5 in Calgary |
|||||||
01-16-24 | Avalanche v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday OVER 6.5 -130 or OVER 7 +105 in Ottawa vs Colorado @ 7 ET - The Senators and Avalanche both in perfect situations for plenty of goals here. Ottawa's last 3 games have all totaled 8 or more goals. Also, the Senators have had 10 of last 14 matches total at least 7 goals. The Avalanche are in the 2nd game of a B2B. The Avalanche will be fired up after a 4-3 loss yesterday and 6 of last 7 Avs games have totaled at least 7 goals. This one will too as the Sens are tough at home and the Avalanche will be ready to respond after the 4-3 loss at Montreal. The Avs are averaging 3.66 goals per game this season. The Sens are averaging 4 goals scored last 4 home games. 10* OVER 6.5 -130 or over 7 +105 in Ottawa |
|||||||
01-15-24 | Flyers +105 v. Blues | Top | 4-2 | Win | 105 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
NHL Monday Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +105 @ St Louis Blues @ 8:07 ET - The Flyers are hottter than the Blues and getting solid goaltending. In Hart and Ersson they are getting strong play overall. St Louis, on the other hand, has seen both Hofer and Binnington struggle of late. The Blues have lost 4 of 7 and Binnington allowed 4 goals in most recent start and Hofer expected to get the call here and he has been used sparingly. Not only could he be a bit rusty, his last start was a 5-1 St Louis loss. Philadelphia has won 3 straight games and 4 of 5 and allowed just 1.8 goals per game in those 4 victories. They are rolling with confidence right now and there is a reason St Louis is only a pick'em home favorite here. 10* PHILADELPHIA +105 |
|||||||
01-15-24 | Islanders v. Wild OVER 6 | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Monday OVER 6 in Minnesota Wild vs NY Islanders @ 6 ET - The Wild are off an ugly 6-0 home loss and have struggled to score goals lately. Back home again and looking to get back on track, the Wild will push hard in this game. The trouble is their only real chance at success is through scoring goals as they continue to give up goals at an alarming rate. Minnesota has allowed 4 goals per game over their last 9 games. The Islanders are off a 3-1 loss but, prior to this, 8 of their last 9 games had totaled at least 6 goals and that is the posted total on this one. The Isles have allowed 3.7 goals last 10 games. So this one should get to at least a total of 6 but I fully expect each team to score at least 3 goals and that sets us up for a 4-3 final at a minimum. 10* OVER 6 in Minnesota |
|||||||
01-14-24 | Red Wings v. Maple Leafs OVER 7 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 7 +105 in Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:37 ET - The Leafs are off a loss where they blew a 3-goal lead yesterday so they will be looking to bounce right back here. However, Jones has allowed too many goals now in two straight starts and plus this is a B2B so Samsonov will get the call between the pipes. He has not started since two weeks ago and so not only could rust be a factor, he has allowed an average of 5 goals in his last 4 appearances! So even though I expect Toronto to score plenty tonight I do not expect this group and this goalie to be able to shut down a solid Red Wings club! Detroit has won 5 of 7 games and they have scored an average of 3.6 goals last 7 games and allowed 3.5 goals per game last 8 games. Of course this is just looking at regulation goals. Yes this total is big at mostly a 7 but 9 of last 12 Red Wings games have totaled at least 7 goals. Given that and the Leafs situation here this should fly over. 10* OVER 7 +105 in Toronto |
|||||||
01-13-24 | Flames +101 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-1 | Win | 101 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Calgary Flames Money Line +100 @ Vegas Golden Knights @ 10:07 ET - Calgary has been scoring plenty of goals and Vegas has not. This set up is PERFECT for the road upset here and it is a big reason this line is only in the pick'em range. The Knights have scored well only once in last 8 games. In the other 7 games they totaled only 9 goals in regulation time. Calgary has won 5 of 7 games and scored an average of 4.3 goals during this stretch. The Flames are a confident bunch right now at both ends of the ice and they get revenge here for losing the most recent game with Vegas in extra time. Payback here. 10* CALGARY +100 |
|||||||
01-12-24 | Flyers -108 v. Wild | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line (-) @ Minnesota Wild @ 8:07 ET - The Flyers will have Hart between the pipes which gives them a big edge over Minnesota having Fleury in the crease for this one. Hart is having a strong season while Fleury has mostly struggled including allowing 10 goals in last 3 starts and 37 in his last 11 starts! Hart is off a tough start but, prior to that, had allowed 2 or less goals in 5 of his last 7 starts. Even though the Flyers have struggled some recently, the Wild have particularly struggled with losses in 6 of 7 and having scored only 11 goals last 7 games! Minnesota also has allowed an average of 4 goals in their last 7 games so they are certainly having trouble at both ends of the ice right now and I look for it to continue here. There is a reason this line is a pick'em even though the Wild are on home ice. Don't let the line fool you. Philly is the play here. 10* PHILADELPHIA (-) |
|||||||
01-11-24 | Bruins -118 v. Golden Knights | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -118 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Boston Bruins Money Line -120 @ Vegas Golden Knights @ 10:07 ET - The Golden Knights are in a B2B and off a 3-0 shutout loss and have a goalie issue. Hill was surprisingly kept on the IR yesterday, Thompson has been dealing with a illness so Patera started last night, that means it could be Saville tonight and he struggled last season at ECHL and AHL level. He has been better at the AHL level this season but this would be his NHL debut. That would not be easy against a Bruins team that was the best in the league in the regular season last season with a record-breaking season and also has been having a big season this year so far but comes in angry here. Off B2B tough losses - each in extra time - the Bruins will be ready to respond in a huge way here. Boston has averaged 4.5 goals per game last 8 games while the Knights have averaged scoring just 2 goals last 7 games. Vegas has lost 7 of 9. The Bruins, prior to B2B tight losses, had won 5 of 6 games. The road team is the hotter team and has the rest edge and has the better goalie situation. 10* BOSTON -120 |
|||||||
01-11-24 | Blackhawks v. Jets -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -142 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
NHL 8* Winnipeg Jets Puck Line -1.5 -145 vs Chicago Blackhawks @ 8:07 ET - The Blackhawks Mrazek is off a solid start but he allowed 4.5 goals per outing in his 4 most recent appearances prior to that. The Jets will go with their #2 option (Brossoit) here and he has been great when getting the nod instead of Hellebuyck lately. He has allowed only 2 goals per game in his last 5 starts. This is also a revenge game for the Jets as they lost at Chicago in the most recent game. That is why I am confident that Winnipeg will come out strong here and continue their red hot run. The Jets have been red hot with wins in 7 straight games! Their only loss the last 10 games was to the Blackhawks. They will absolutely be ready for revenge here. Chicago is an ugly 4-17-1 in their road games this season. The Jets are on top of the NHL with a 27-9-4 record this season. This has the makings of a blowout! 8* WINNIPEG -1.5 -145 |
|||||||
01-09-24 | Bruins v. Coyotes OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
OVER 5.5 or 6 in Arizona Diamondbacks vs Boston Bruins @ 9 ET - The Bruins will be fired up here after a 4-3 loss in OT at Colorado last night. Arizona has struggled recently at home but that means they will also be ready to go here on home ice! They faced some really tough teams and struggled to find the back of the net but I feel the Bruins will prove susceptible in this one on defense in this back to back situation. The Coyotes have allowed 4.4 goals per game in their last 5 home games. 4 of the 5 did total at least 6 goals and I like the odds of that here as well. Boston has scored an average of 5 goals per game last 7 games. The Bruins have only had one strong game in terms of goals allowed in their last 6 games. In the other 5 games Boston allowed an average of 4 goals per game. Look for this one to total plenty of goals given the situation and I look for plenty of attacking from each club as they are each hungry to get back into the win column. OVER 5.5 or 6 in Arizona |
|||||||
01-09-24 | Oilers v. Blackhawks OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers @ 8:37 ET - The Blackhawks do tend to score better at home. Even though they lost Bedard to injury, they scored 2 goals in that loss and that followed that up with a 4-3 win in their first game without him after that defeat in which he got injured. They will push hard here at home and, historically, the Oilers are known for slipups in games like this in which they could look right past a bad team like Chicago. So some goals will be conceded here but ultimately Edmonton - one of the highest scoring teams in the league season after season in recent years - will prove to be too much in the offensive zone. They allowed at least 4 goals in 10 of last 13 games before the 4-3 win. Edmonton has scored an average of nearly 5 goals per game in their 7-game winning streak. So look for a 5-3 type game here and we only need 7 to be a winner. OVER 6.5 in Chicago |
|||||||
01-08-24 | Penguins v. Flyers +113 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 46 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +105 vs Pittsburgh Penguins @ 7:07 ET - The Penguins have lost 2 of 3 and allowed an average of 4 goals per game. The Flyers have already won both meetings with the Pens this season though it took extra time. Also, Philadelphia enters this game having allowed 2 or less goals in regulation time of 10 of last 15 games and allowed an average of only 1.4 goals in those 10 games. The Flyers are healthy right now and they are undervalued in this one based on home ice, solid goaltending of late, and they have added confidence of winning the first two meetings with the Pens this season. Pittsburgh is still a solid club but they are getting a little long in the tooth while the Flyers are up and coming team that is starting to jell. 10* PHILADELPHIA +105 |
|||||||
01-06-24 | Islanders v. Golden Knights OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
NHL Saturday OVER 6 in Vegas Golden Knights vs New York Islanders @ 10:07 ET - This is a bounce back spot for the Knights on home ice. I know they have been struggling and I do not trust them based on their goalie situation but they should score goals here. The issue here is they continue to allow too any goals. The Golden Knights have allowed 4 goals per game last 11 games. The Islanders are off a 5-1 win at Arizona but this followed them allowing nearly 4 goals per game last 11 games as well. With VGK desperate to get back on track at home and the Isles off a confidence-boosting 5-1 win, the goals should fly in this one! 10* OVER 6 in Vegas |

01-05-24 | Hurricanes -1.5 v. Capitals | Top | 6-2 | Win | 155 | 5 h 13 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 +155 @ Washington Capitals @ 7:07 ET - The Hurricanes have revenge here as they lost their only game with the Capitals this season. Carolina has been playing much better of late and has won 4 straight games. Also, I am not crazy about laying the puck line here rather than the money line but the money line is too pricey. Also, the puck line gives us a great shot at a big plus money return and it is supported by recent results as well. Carolina has had 10 of last 13 wins come by a multi-goal margin. Also, the Capitals have lost 4 of 5 games and the loss of TJ Oshie for a period of time has been a big one for the Caps. They have been a different club without Backstrom as well. Also, the goalie loss of Lindgren has hurt them as he was getting a lot of playing time due to his performance. The performances of Kuemper and Shepard have been a concern for this Washington club which is why Lindgren, now injured, had been playing a lot. 11 of the Capitals 12 losses in regulation time this season have been by 2+ goals and I feel strongly the Hurricanes will be very aggressive in this revenge spot and will not risk OT or SO! In other words, another multi-goal regulation loss for the Capitals. 10* CAROLINA -1.5 +155 |

01-04-24 | Blue Jackets v. Flyers -1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers -1.5 +130 vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers are happy to be back home and they are facing a team they have dominated this season with wins in both meetings this season each coming by multi-goal margins. This is a great spot to back Philly as they are back home after a long road trip and they are on a 3-game losing streak. They have yet to have a 4-game losing streak this season so the odds certainly favor a bounce back here. Philly did lose most recent home game but this was on the heels of a 3-game winning streak and they do tend to play better here at home. The Blue Jackets are having a very rough season and have lost 25 of 35 games! Columbus has lost their two meetings with Philly by a combined 9 to 4 score this season and another ugly loss is likely here given the situation. The Flyers are starting a much-needed homestand and I sense a huge effort here as they right the ship on home ice against a Jackets team dealing with some injury issues as well. 10* PHILADELPHIA -1.5 +130 |
|||||||
01-02-24 | Blackhawks v. Predators OVER 6 | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 or 6.5 in Nashville Predators vs Chicago Blackhawks @ 8:07 ET - The Predators Saros has been struggling in goal. Even if they go with a backup here the results may not be great as Nashville has just been in a funk overall defensively. The Preds are off a 3-2 win but they had conceded 5 goals in 4 of their 7 matches before that win. The Blackhawks also are conceding goals like crazy no matter who is between the pipes. Chicago has lost 8 of 10 and they have allowed 5.5 goals in the 8 losses! Given the above, you can see why I am expecting plenty of goals in this one and, prior to an 8-1 loss at Dallas, the Blackhawks had scored at least 4 goals in each of last 2 road games. Nashville is scoring an average of 3 goals this season and they should top that here as they face a Chicago team that has allowed about 4 goals per game this season and particularly struggled of late. 10* OVER 6 or 6.5 in Nashville |

01-01-24 | Golden Knights v. Seattle Kraken +120 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 120 | 3 h 41 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Seattle Kraken +120 vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 3:07 ET - Outdoor game at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. In this Winter Classic I feel we have excellent line value with the home dog. The Golden Knights are the defending champs and they also started the season 11-0-1. However, since then, Vegas has lost 14 of 25 games! Most recently the Knights are off a big 3-2 win over the rival Kings but, prior to that, Vegas lost 4 straight and 5 of 6 and consistently have been allowing too many goals. In an 8-game stretch prior to the win over LA, the Knights allowed an average of 4.5 goals per game! The Kraken have won 4 straight and 6 of last 8 and Seattle has allowed only 11 goals in regulation time of those 8 games. Big edge here based on the way the Kraken have been playing and the goaltending they are getting and the fact this is a home game for them here. 10* SEATTLE +120 |
|||||||
12-31-23 | Flyers +121 v. Flames | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +120 @ Calgary Flames @ 8:07 ET - The Flyers off tough OT loss at Seattle in a game they never trailed. Philly is a perfect 3-0 the last 3 times they were off an OT or SO loss. The Flames have lost 8 of 12 games. Calgary is favored here because they are on home ice but truly this Flames club has been struggling and this is excellent line value with the underdog in this match-up! Calgary has gone just 4-8 last 12 while Philly had actually won 8 of last 11 prior to their OT loss to the Kraken. Markstrom has played well for the Flames but so too has Hart for the Flyers. Also, the Philly goalie is from Alberta so these match-ups in Western Canada are always special for him. Look for another strong game from him here and the Flyers improve to 4-0 L4 times when off an a non-regulation loss. Note that Hart has not lost a start in regulation in the month of December. 10* PHILADELPHIA +120 |

12-30-23 | Oilers +102 v. Kings | Top | 3-2 | Win | 102 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Edmonton Oilers Money Line +100 @ Los Angeles Kings @ 10:05 ET - The Kings certainly want this game but revenge can only get you so far. Last post-season, just like the playoffs the year before, Los Angeles was eliminated by the Oilers. That said, Edmonton continues to have the number of the Kings and I expect that to continue here. The Oilers come into this game as the hotter team and they ride that momentum here. Edmonton is on a 3-game winning streak and they just had an 8-game winning streak from late-November to mid-December as well. They have scored an average of 5 goals in those 11 wins! The Kings have lost 5 of 9 games and they have scored an average of only 2.7 goals per game in those 9 games! I just don't see LA as being able to keep up with the high-powered Oilers in this one as revenge again proves to be over-rated. Oilers beat the Kings yet again. 10* EDMONTON +100 |

12-29-23 | Flyers +116 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +115 @ Seattle Kraken @ 10:05 ET - Ersson played most of last night's 4-1 win at Vancouver for the Flyers but the goalie exited in the 3rd period with dehydration issues. The fact that Carter Hart took his spot in the 3rd period and stopped all 8 shots he faced is a good sign here. Remember that Hart had just had a RARE bad start right before the Christmas break but he had been great before then. Also, the Flyers have now won 14 of last 21 games and that win yesterday stopped a losing streak. Can they win two straight? Well actually it has been about 6 weeks since they last had a standalone win so I expect them to again build another one here and make it B2B wins on B2B nights. Seattle seems to have really taken a step back and they have now suddenly won 3 straight. However, that followed losing 23 of their first 33 games this season and they have not won 4 straight games since last season. The odds favor another Philly win here and the Kraken have just 6 wins at home this season and no team in the NHL has fewer home wins. So the Flyers as a small dog offer excellent value here especially against a former coach, Dave Hakstol. 10* PHILADELPHIA +115 |

12-23-23 | Sharks v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks @ 10:07 ET - Vancouver has revenge for a 4-3 loss at San Jose in the most recent meeting between these teams. With this being the last match before the Christmas break and given that each team enters this one off a loss, I am looking for the goals to fly in this one! Vancouver has scored 3.6 goals per game last 10 games! Each of the Canucks last 3 games overall have totaled at least 7 goals and I expect this one to as well. Vancouver has been struggling of late in the goals-conceded department and the Sharks could surprise again here just like they did in the most recent meeting. However, the Canucks will certainly be able to take advantage of a San Jose team that continues to allow too many goals. The Sharks have allowed an average of 5 goals per game last 3 games and also has seen 7 of their last 9 road games total at least 8 goals! Those 7 games averaged 9 goals apiece and this should be another wild one here given the situational aspects. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

12-22-23 | Flyers +116 v. Red Wings | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +115 @ Detroit Red Wings @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers should have Carter Hart back between the pipes for this one after he served as the back-up to Ersson last night. Hart is having a great season so far and has allowed just 4 goals in total in his 3 starts so far in December. The Flyers were in a 2-2 battle with Nashville yesterday but ended up losing 4-2. They will bounce right back here. That was the first loss in regulation time in the entire month of December. The Flyers have been playing well and had won 7 of 8 before yesterday's loss! Detroit has lost 7 of 8 games. The Red Wings are hurting right now due to goaltender injury issues and Reimer is struggling in goal. Philly will take advantage. 10* PHILADELPHIA +115 |

12-21-23 | Coyotes v. Sharks +134 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 48 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play San Jose Sharks +135 vs Arizona Coyotes @ 10:37 ET - The Sharks have started to struggle again last few games but are now back on home ice where they have been tougher. Couple that with the fact that Arizona is known for home dominance. They have a huge home/road dichotomy. If you just take the road team in Coyotes games you would have a 22-10 record this season. The home team is also 23-9 in Sharks games so you have a lot of value here for sure in terms of grabbing the home team when these teams are involved and this is particularly true when you factor in the +135 money line available on the Sharks here. San Jose is off a home loss to a tough LA Kings team but, prior to that, San Jose had won 6 of last 8 home games. They are a well-coached team that is starting to play better and certainly is tough on home ice. Note that Arizona has lost 8 of last 11 road games. Arizona has won 3 straight including a 1-0 win over these Sharks but all those games were at home. The home team is 6-0 in Coyotes last 6 games and I look for that run to reach 7 in a row right here. 10* SAN JOSE +135 |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Los Angeles Kings vs Seattle Kraken @ 10:07 ET - The confidence of the Kraken is back up as they have been scoring more goals of late but of course they are large dogs here with good reason and the Kings will pressure them early and often here. However, I do like the fact that Seattle has scored an average of 4 goals in their last 4 games. As for Los Angeles, they have scored an average of 3.6 goals on the season. That said, I like the odds on a 4-3 type match here and we have the added value of this total being at just 6 goals. 10* OVER 6 in Los Angeles |

12-19-23 | Kings v. Sharks +1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play San Jose Sharks +1.5 -115 vs Los Angeles Kings @ 10:37 ET - The Sharks just got hammered at Colorado but that game unraveled quickly after San Jose got an early 5-minute major penalty that set the tone for the entire game. The Sharks deserved better and had been playing better and they will bounce right back here on home ice. San Jose entered the game against the Avalanche having only 1 loss by more than a 1-goal margin in their last 11 games! Look for SJ to respond immediately off that tough loss. As for the Kings, they are off a hard-fought 3-2 SO win over Seattle and they have the Kraken on deck again after this. As strong as LA has been, note that they have gone just 1-2-1 last 4 games and that lone win was in the shootout and the Kings have only 2 wins by more than 1 goal in last 8 games! This will be a much tougher game for Los Angeles than many are expecting as the Sharks have turned the corner after such a rough start to the season. Their most recent game notwithstanding, SJ has been ultra-competitive of late and they resume that competitive play here on home ice against a division rival. 10* SAN JOSE +1.5 -115 |

12-18-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 44 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Dallas Stars vs Seattle Kraken @ 8:07 ET - The Stars are now without #1 goalie Oettinger. Though Wedgewood can be decent, he is no Oettinger and I expect the Kraken to pepper him early and often with shots in this one. Note that Dallas has been scoring well however and the best option in this game is the over the way I see it. We get solid value with this total at just 6 goals as note that 13 of last 16 Dallas games have totaled at least 7 goals and that includes 6 in a row. Seattle has scored 4.3 goals in last 3 games and picked up 2 wins and 1 point in a shootout loss as well during this solid stretch. The Kraken consistently allow an average of 3 goals per game and the Stars have been trending that way as well. That said, a match can not end 3-3 and I am looking for at least a 4-3 final in this one. The goals will fly here as I fully expect the over in Stars games to make it 7 in a row given the situation here. Both teams coming off losses - one in OT and one in SO - and they will be pushing hard to put those defeats behind them. Both goalies are susceptible here. 10* OVER 6 in Dallas |

12-17-23 | Sharks +1.5 v. Avalanche | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play San Jose Sharks Puck Line +1.5 +100 @ Colorado Avalanche @ 8:07 ET - I know the Avs are off a loss and Colorado is a strong team but believe it or not, they have had only one standalone loss since early November. That happened on November 20th. Other than that they have had a 2-game losing streak and 3-game losing streak since then. Not only that, the Avalanche have only one win by more than 1 goal in their last 9 games. I love the value here with a Sharks team that continues to be ultra competitive. Not only has San Jose turned things around overall, they also have just one loss by more than 1 goal in their last 11 games! The Sharks have been a much better hockey club and, in fact, at +1.5 goals are a perfect 6-0 the last 6 times they have entered a game off a loss. Here is winner #7 in a row at +1.5 for the Sharks! 10* SAN JOSE +1.5 |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -120 vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers will go with Ersson between the pipes again but he is on a 5-0-1 run. Also, the Red Wings dealing with a lot of injuries right now. Lyon has played well between the pipes for Detroit when called upon but he struggled in his most recent start AND he has not played in awhile. Lyon could be a bit rusty and this Flyers team is playing much better than the Red Wings of late. Philadelphia off another win and has now won 5 of last 6 games. Detroit, on the other hand, has now lost 4 of last 5 games and the injury bug has become a concern for the Red Wings of late. 10* PHILADELPHIA -120 |

12-15-23 | Sharks +1.5 v. Coyotes | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
San Jose +1.5 -145 - The Sharks have been playing much better of late and gone 6-2-2 last 10 games. Only 1 of those 10 games was a loss by more than a 1-goal margin. Kahkonen expected to start in goal and has been playing much better of late. Arizona is going with Ingram and though he is off a solid start, the Coyotes still lost that one and overall he has been struggling. Ingram has allowed an average of 4 goals last 3 starts. Arizona has lost 4 straight games. The Sharks are scoring an average of about 4 goals per game last 9 games. Conversely, the Coyotes are scoring only 2 goals per game on average last 4 games - all losses. This is a reasonable price to lay to have the added insurance of the 1.5 goals. Arizona has only 4 wins by more than 1 goal in their 13 home games this season. Possible upset here. Either way, the +1.5 gets us the cash in what should be a tighter game. SAN JOSE +1.5 -145 |
|||||||
12-15-23 | Predators +147 v. Hurricanes | Top | 6-5 | Win | 147 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
Nashville +145 - The Predators have the scheduling edge here as Hurricanes are in a B2B. The Canes starting to turn things around but they are in a B2B now and that means the goalie will likely be Raanta here and he has been struggling this season. The Preds will likely have Saros and he has been hot again. The Predators have won 11 of 14 games. The Hurricanes have won B2B games but this followed losses in 4 straight and, again, this is a tough scheduling spot. Yes, Carolina is known for being tough at home but the goalie edge and scheduling edge is too much here. NASHVILLE +145 |

12-14-23 | Senators -117 v. Blues | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -117 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Ottawa Senators -117 @ St Louis Blues @ 8:07 ET - The Blues just fired their coach and normally that is a situation that would be a play on situation for me. However, St Louis has some major issues right now and this Senators team has a coach that has been enduring a stretch on the hot seat as well. That said, I like this Ottawa team - with much more scoring firepower - to get the job done against a Blues team that is just having too many issues at both ends of the ice. The Blues have lost 4 straight and been outscored by a combined 20-10 during this stretch. The Sens have won 3 of last 5 and outscored the opposition 17-10 during this stretch. Ottawa has won 5 of last 6 games played away from home and I just can't see this Blues team having enough to outscore them here. The Senators have the much better power play unit and also have been a much higher-scoring team than the Blues this season. St Louis just has not been able to get their scoring going with any consistency. 10* OTTAWA -117 |

12-14-23 | Capitals v. Flyers -129 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -130 vs Washington Capitals @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers are off an OT loss at Nashville but had won 10 of 14 games before that and have been one of the biggest surprise teams in the league so far this season. Washington is off B2B wins but they had lost 5 of 7 games prior to that. The Flyers are at home and off a loss and this is the ideal spot to fade the Capitals. Lindgren is expected to start between the pipes here for the Caps. He is off a shutout win in his last start but this was preceded by 3 of the 4 prior appearances seeing him allow at least 3 goals. He allowed an average of 4 goals in those 3 appearances. The Flyers likely will have Carter Hart between the pipes here and he has allowed a total of ONLY 4 goals in his last 3 appearances. The Flyers have allowed only 1.8 goals per game in their last 5 games. The Capitals have allowed lesser goals recently but they were really struggling just before that and the Flyers, off a tight loss in OT, will prove to be too much here on home ice! 10* PHILADELPHIA -130 |

12-13-23 | Bruins v. Devils OVER 6 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in New Jersey Devils vs Boston Bruins @ 7:37 ET - The Bruins are 3-0 to the over last 3 road games and the Devils are 3-0 to the over last 3 home games. The set up here is a good one with New Jersey hungry to get back on track off a 4-1 loss that wrapped up their recent road trip. Now they are back at home where each of their last 3 games totaled at least 8 goals. Also, prior to that loss, the Devils were 6-1 their last 7 games and have scored an average of 4.5 goals per game in those 6 wins. The Bruins have seen 5 of last 6 road games have totaled at least 7 goals. Boston used to be known for stellar defense and goaltending but this is not quite the same style of club it once was and they have allowed an average of 3.2 goals per game last 10 games. They have scored an average of 3.5 goals per game last 16 games. This one is set up well for plenty of goals as Devils had been on fire and will push hard on home ice and enjoy some success in the offensive zone against the Bruins just like other clubs have in recent Boston home games. However, the Devils are expected to start Vanecek between the pipes in this one and he has allowed 3.5 goals last 6 appearances. I look for both clubs to get to the 3-goal mark and that would guarantee us of no less than a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6 in New Jersey |

12-12-23 | Jets v. Sharks OVER 6 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -118 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday OVER 6 in San Jose Sharks vs Winnipeg Jets @ 10:37 ET - The Sharks continue to fly over the total in games and I don't see that changing here. The Jets are expected to go with Brossoit here and he may be "okay" but he is no Hellebuyck. As for the Sharks, they will likely go with Blackwood and he has struggled recently. Look for his struggles to continue here. Blackwood is facing a Jets team without leading scorer Kyle Connor but that is helping to keep this line lower than it should be. I feel this total should be a 6.5 and we have solid value here. The Sharks have gone over the total in 5 straight games and, not only that, all 5 games totaled at least 9 goals. Lover the way the over is going strong in San Jose games and here neither team has a top goalie going. The Jets have won 12 of 16 games and are heavy favorites here for a reason. Winnipeg has averaged 4 goals per game in those 12 victories! The way both of these teams are scoring, the goals should again fly in this one. 10* OVER 6 in San Jose |

12-11-23 | Coyotes v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs Arizona Coyotes @ 7:07 ET - The Coyotes have been scoring well but now goalie Ingram is finally coming back down to earth after a hot run. He might finally be seeing a regression to the mean in terms of his results. Since this is the front end of a back to back for the Coyotes, we might see Vejmelka in goal here and he has struggled this season. Either way I look for the Sabres, on home ice for this one, to snap their recent slump of lower-scoring performances. Buffalo will take advantage of the Coyotes goalie situation as Ingram struggling now and Vejmelka will be rusty if he gets the call here. The issue for Buffalo though is that the Coyotes have been scoring a lot of goals and they come into this one with plenty of confidence having built up based on recent performances in the offensive zone. That is why I fully expect a high-scoring match-up here. This is a non-conference battle too and those tend to be be less intense defensively. The Coyotes have averaged scoring 3.5 goals their last 8 games. But, other than a shocking shutout at Vegas, Arizona has allowed 4 goals per game in last 8 road games. I am expecting, based on the above, that each club will get to at least 3 goals here and that would result in at least a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |

12-10-23 | Sharks v. Golden Knights OVER 6 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Vegas Golden Knights vs San Jose Sharks @ 10:07 ET - The Sharks are playing well finally but are still giving up a lot of goals. San Jose has played 4 straight games that have each totaled at least 9 goals. Vegas is heating up again and has won 4 of 5 games and scored an average of 5 goals in the 4 victories! Also, I like the fact that this is a B2B situation for the Knights as that impacts the goalie situation. Is Hill ready to come back? Will it be Patera in this one? Thompson has been playing well again but he go the start last night. This is the perfect set-up to expect plenty of goals tonight as the Knights have been lighting the lamp with great regularity plus already scored 4 or more in each of their two meetings with the Sharks this season. This is a divisional match-up and the teams do not like each other and San Jose is playing much better than they were when Vegas faced them the two prior times. In other words, the goals should fly here as San Jose fights back seeking revenge here but the Sharks continue to allow too many goals. Vegas in a B2B and that goalie situation further helps the cause here! 10* OVER 6 in Vegas |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +1.5 -135 @ Colorado Avalanche @ 9:07 ET - The Avalanche have lost 4 of 5 games and the only win was by a 1-goal margin. Of course they are the better team in this match-up but they have been a bit shaky of late and the Flyers continue to be an early season surprise. Philly has been getting strong goaltending for much of this season and that is why they have been so hard to beat by big margins too. Philadelphia has won 9 of 13 games and also if you look at their last 24 games only 6 of them (25%!) have been a loss by more than a 1-goal margin. The Flyers are hot and the Avs are cold and even if Colorado bounces back for a win here I look for it to be by the slimmest of margins. The Avs makes it 6 in a row without a multi-goal win and the Flyers remarkably have been on an amazing road run. They won their first road game of the season but then lost the second one 5-2. However, since then, they have played 11 road games and NONE of them featured a Flyers loss by more than 1 goal. Look for that run to reach 12-0 right here Saturday! 10* PHILADELPHIA +1.5 -135 |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs St Louis Blues @ 7:07 ET - Great set up for plenty of goals here as the Blue Jackets are off a 7-3 loss yesterday on the road and the Blues are off a 6-3 home loss Wednesday. Columbus has allowed 4 goals per game in last 5 games but the Blue Jackets also have scored 3.6 goals in their last 9 games on home ice! St Louis has scored an average of 3 goals per game last 9 games and had won 5 of 8 before the home loss to Vegas. Blues have had one low-scoring game last 8 games but the other 7 games averaged 8 goals apiece. Blue Jackets have seen 11 of last 17 games total at least 7 goals. Both teams allowing too many goals in many of their recent games but both are also in bounce back mode off high-scoring losses. Perfect set-up for another high-scoring contest here given all of the above. Also, Blue Jackets allowing 3.5 goals on the season. Blues have struggled on the penalty kill this season. Look for each team to get the 3 goal mark in this one and the result would then be at least a 4-3 final in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NHL 10* Carolina / Calgary OVER 6.5 - Flames using a young goalie again in Wolf here and he has struggled in his action so far this season at the NHL level ... though Wolf has been solid at the AHL level, the fact he is struggling so far in the NHL means it could really be tough sledding for him tonight ... the Hurricanes are angry off a loss and will be firing plenty of shots on goal ... the issue for the Canes this season is they continue to give up too many goals ... Carolina has allowed an average of 3.5 goals per game in their last 8 ... the Flames are now without top goalie Markstrom due to broken finger and Calgary has allowed 4 goals per game in their last 3 ... strong odds each team gets to 3 goals in this one and that would guarantee us of nothing less than a 4-3 final here |

San Jose has had 3 straight games total at least 9 goals ... the Red Wings have scored at least 4 goals in 8 of last 10 games ... considering the Sharks are finally playing more competitively, both goalies in this match-up struggling of late, and the fact San Jose will have to score well to keep up with a rejuvenated Detroit team here, I just can not see this one finishing with less than 7 goals |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 +110 in St Louis Blues vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 9:07 ET - These teams just met and played to a tight low-scoring battle which the Blues won in OT even though the Golden Knights outshot them. Now you know that Vegas is out for revenge and will be relentless on the attack here. However, St Louis will score well on home ice and I am looking for this game to play out much differently than their game Monday. So often this happens in a rematch when teams meet B2B like this. Plus the Golden Knights are currently without their top goalie. The Blues last 9 home games averaged 7 goals and only 3 failed to reach the 6 goal mark! The Golden Knights have scored an average of 3 goals per game in their last 7 away from home. Vegas goalie Thompson has allowed about 3 goals per game in his last 7 road starts. Hill (injured now) is definitely the better #1 option for the Knights. You can see, given all of the above, why I am expecting this one to get to at least 7 goals as I expect each team to score 3 goals in this one and that would mean nothing less than a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6 +110 in St Louis |

NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 5.5 in New York Islanders vs San Jose Sharks @ 7:37 ET - I feel strongly that this total currently at 5.5 in the markets has a lot more to do with long-term history than it does with the current trending of both teams. The Sharks have been playing much better and scoring more goals and their confidence level is up. With a higher confidence level comes stronger odds on success in the offensive zone. The trouble for San Jose has been allowing too many goals at times and that included the 6-5 loss that was their most recent game. Surprisingly, the Islanders also have fallen into the category of high-scoring games as well. New York has seen 7 of last 9 games total at least 7 goals and, keep in mind, we only need 6 to be a winner here! This is a non-conference match-up and the Isles are off a big win over the Panthers plus have a divisional game on deck. The Sharks are 3-2 last 5 games and, other than a shutout loss mixed in there, scored an average of 4 goals per game in the other 4 games. That said, don't forget they are allowing 4 goals per game this season too! Take advantage of the low total here in a game that could (should!) see each team get to at least 3 goals scored. 10* OVER 5.5 in New York Islanders |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play Washington Capitals +110 @ Arizona Coyotes @ 9:05 ET - The Capitals are off a loss but they are 4-1 the last 5 times they are off a defeat. The Caps had won 7 of 9 before that loss and keep it mind it was the defending champion Vegas they lost to. Now they take on Arizona and they are scrappy team but they certainly are no Vegas. The Coyotes have suddenly won 4 straight games and Ingram has played well between the pipes but he had struggled in recent home ice outings before suddenly catching fire. I just can not see the run continuing here against a fired up Caps team off a loss. Statistically note that Washington has been just as strong on the road as they have been at home. So there is line value with the Capitals at an underdog price in this one. 10* WASHINGTON +110 |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Boston Bruins vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:07 ET - This is a revenge game for Boston but they just beat Toronto in OT by a 4-3 count last night. That was a big win of course and I think the Bruins will be giving up some goals here off of such a big divisional win like that. The thing is the Blue Jackets have been scoring better of late but you know Boston is hungry to get some payback after losing 5-2 on the road at Columbus just last week. Note that the Bruins last 9 games have seen 7 of them total at least 7 goals. These are not the low-scoring defensive-minded Bruins of recent seasons. That said, there is a lot of value here getting this total at 6 goals. The Blue Jackets are off B2B 4-2 games and this followed 9 of last 12 games totaling at least 7 goals. Great line value here. The Jackets have scored 11 goals last 3 games and confidence is growing with wins in 4 of 6 games. Catching the Bruins over the big win over the Leafs means great spot for the Jackets to catch Boston a little lax (or tired) on defense but the Bruins are a big favorite for a reason and will battle back and the result is plenty of scoring here. 10* OVER 6 in Boston |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +155 @ Pittsburgh Penguins @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers are having a solid start to the season, in part, because they have been able to avoid a lengthy losing streak. In fact, their longest streak is 3 games and they are 4-1 this season when entering a game on a losing streak of 2 or more games. That is the case here and this is a big rivalry game with the Penguins and Philly's road record is actually slightly better than the Pens home record so far this season. Also, the Flyers will have Ersson between the pipes instead of Hart but he just had a fantastic November. He allowed only 8 goals in his last 5 starts. Also, Pittsburgh is off a win but had lost 5 of 7 prior to that. Off the big win over the Bolts and now catching the rival Flyers off B2B losses, the set up here is perfect for an upset. 10* PHILADELPHIA +155 |

12-01-23 | Senators v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -122 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 -125 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Ottawa Senators @ 7:07 ET - The Blue Jackets Merzlikins has been better of late in goal but it still hard to trust him and the Senators are heavy favorites here with good reason. Merzlikins has struggled quite often this season and the Sens will pressure him with a lot of shots. The Blue Jackets should also enjoy success on home ice where, long-term, they do tend to score better. Columbus will take advantage of facing a struggling goalie in the form of former Jacket Korpisalo. The fact he was with the Blue Jackets before just puts even more pressure on him and he has a lofty GAA. Both teams do for that matter and I am expecting goals to fly here. Ottawa is off a 5-0 loss and prior to that 12 of 16 games totaled at least 7 goals! Columbus off a 4-2 loss but 9 of 12 games before that totaled at least 7 goals. More of the same here. 10* OVER 6.5 -125 in Columbus |

11-30-23 | Golden Knights v. Canucks -116 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
VANCOUVER - The Canucks have been great on home ice all season long and here they catch a slumping Golden Knights team. Vegas has lost 8 of 11 games and I know some of the defeats were tight too but the losing is taking a toll and no let up is in sight. They are off a high-scoring loss at Edmonton but they were fortunate to even get that game to OT as they had to rally to do so. The trouble too is that, before that game, they only scored 7 goals in their last 7 losses. All is not well in Vegas right now and, now wrapping up a long road trip, the Golden Knights are not likely to see things get better until their home ice match-up this weekend. This is just a typical scenario here where it is so hard to pull it together on the road when 7 of your last 8 games have been on the road and you just can't get any consistency going. Being the defending champs plus the fact this is a divisional game, you know the Canucks want to take down the champs here. VANCOUVER -120 |

DALLAS - The road team has won both meetings this season and the Stars lost at home to the Flames 7-4 last week so this is a shot at right back revenge. Calgary off the huge upset win over Vegas. Not only are they just 2-6 this season when off a win, the Flames just knocked off the defending champs so the set up here is great. DALLAS -130 |

11-30-23 | Avalanche v. Coyotes OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 102 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Ariz vs Colo - Both teams have had some recent lower-scoring games but both are winning too. Confidence running high right now for both these clubs and the Coyotes have scored 10 goals in their last 3 games. The Avalanche have won 7 of 8 games and averaged 5 goals per game in the 7 victories. The Avs have seen 8 of last 12 games total at least 7 goals. The Coyotes most recent home game was a low-scoring win but this followed a stretch in which 5 of last 7 games totaled at least 7 goals and those games actually averaged 8 goals apiece. This is a small but special venue that the Coyotes are currently playing in down in Arizona and the atmosphere lends itself to some crazy games at Mullett Arena with a raucous crowd. More of the same expected here with a nearby foe in town. OVER 6.5 in Arizona |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in New York Rangers vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:37 ET - This is a great spot for goals! The Rangers are off a 5-1 loss and ready to respond. However, the Red Wings have won 3 straight games and have scored at least 4 goals in all 3 wins! Detroit also has revenge from a 5-3 loss here in New York in the first meeting this season. The Rangers have seen 7 of last 10 games total at least 6 goals and all 6 of the first 7 that did before last night's 5-1 loss had each totaled at least 7 goals. The Red Wings have now actually scored at least 4 goals in 5 of last 6 games and the Rangers have given up at least 4 goals in each of last two games. So this has the makings of another high-scoring affair between these teams. New York has yet to lose B2B games this season and will come out flying here but there is no way I am fading this Detroit team the way they are scoring goals coupled with the fact the Rangers D and netminding has recently faded. 10* OVER 6 in New York Rangers |

NHL - OVER 6.5 -120 in Vancouver Canucks vs Anaheim Ducks @ 10:07 ET - The Ducks are mired in a losing streak but this Anaheim team has some talent up front. Problem is that they have been a sieve in their own end of the rink. In their current 6-game losing streak they are allowing 5 goals per game! I know Anaheim has not been scoring well of late but Vancouver enters this one having some struggles of their own in terms of goals conceded. The Canucks have allowed 3.3 goals per game in a 4-5 stretch their last 9 games. Vancouver has scored an average of 4 goals per game this season and is a heavy favorite here with good reason. Look for a 5-3 type game! OVER 6.5 - 120 in Vancouver |

NHL - Edmonton Oilers -140 vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 9:07 ET - This line has been moving strongly toward Edmonton. Keep in mind Edmonton started the season very poorly and the Golden Knights started the season on fire plus they are the defending champs. Yet, look at what this line is doing here. What does that tell you? Exactly...there is some sharp money coming in on the Oilers here. This is a playoff revenge situation plus Vegas is in the 2nd game of a B2B and has struggled to score goals of late. The Oilers are playing a fresh brand of hockey under their new head coach and off B2B high-scoring wins plus going for a 4th straight home ice win. Oilers want this game bad against the defending champs that eliminated them last season! Lay it! EDMONTON -140 |

NHL - Philadelphia Flyers +145 vs Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:35 ET - Carolina is certainly a strong club but they have had some issues this season and the Flyers have been a scrappy team that has played well early this season and really surprised a lot of people in the NHL. They will have Carter Hart in goal for this one and he has been strong early this season and the underdog Flyers are a great value pick in this one. PHILADELPHIA +145 |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play Boston Bruins Puck Line -1.5 +100 @ Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:07 ET - The Blue Jackets just blew a 2-0 third period lead and lost at Carolina. They were heavily outshot in that game. Columbus is not a very good hockey club plus they used their red hot goalie Merzlikins in that one. He had helped steal a couple wins for them. Now in the 2nd day of a B2B, look for Martin to be in goal here and he has struggled and allowed at least 4 goals in 3 straight appearances! The Bruins have played a tough schedule recently and off B2B losses and defeats in 3 of last 4. After this game they will not play again until Thursday so I fully expect them to take advantage of facing a weaker foe and go all out here in a blowout road win. 6 of the 7 Bruins road wins this season by a multi-goal margin. The Blue Jackets, loss to Hurricanes yesterday notwithstanding, have mostly come by 2 or more goals this season. More of the same here. 10* BOSTON -1.5 +100 |

NHL 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes Puck Line -1.5 -120 vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 5:07 ET - This is a great spot because the Jackets are off B2B wins and have NOT won 3 straight games yet this season and now they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Hurricanes are off an 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay. It was the night the Lightning got goalie Vasilevskiy back and it was in Carolina! It was an ugly loss despite the fact the Hurricanes allowed only 14 shots on goal in that game. Truly and unheard of type of loss and this Carolina team is too good to not bounce back after a game like that. In fact, they are already 5-0 this season when off a loss in which they were held to 3 or less goals. They will again bounce back here. The Blue Jackets are 0-8 the last 8 times they have entered a game on a winning streak of 2 games dating back to when they ended a 3-game winning streak the season BEFORE last season! Also, of those 8 losses, ALL 5 of the defeats against an Eastern Conference foe were by a multi-goal margin. So we are testing 100% multi-year spot with this puck line play. Lay it! 10* CAROLINA -1.5 -120 |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +135 @ New York Islanders @ 7:37 ET - This is a great spot for the underdog Flyers. They lost at home to the Rangers yesterday but outshot New York by nearly a 2 to 1 ratio! Even though Hart was in goal yesterday and that means this will likely be Ersson between the pipes, the latter has been playing quite well in recent starts. Also, Sorokin likely in goal for the Islanders here in this B2B spot and the Isles are off a win yesterday and were at Ottawa. The travel situation actually favors the Flyers here. Also, they have revenge and plus Sorokin, before that start against Philly, has struggled this season. The Flyers are off B2B losses but are already 2-0 this season when they enter a road game on a losing streak of 2 or more games. Look for that record to improve to 3-0 here as before B2B losses they won 5 straight. The Isles have won 3 straight but that included tight wins and, prior to this, they had enduring a long overall losing stretch all the way back to mid-October. Great underdog value here and payback revenge for the Flyers. 10* PHILADELPHIA +135 |

NHL Friday Winnipeg Jets Money Line +125 @ Florida Panthers @ 8:05 ET - The Jets have been hot with wins in 9 of 11. Also, Winnipeg welcomes back coach Bowness for this one after a leave of absence tending to his wife (illness). That said, I look for the Jets to rally around him and him being back and Hellebuyck certainly rates the goalie edge over the Panthers Bobrovsky. The latter has been very inconsistent this season with a number of bad starts. The Panthers also lost the first meeting at Winnipeg this season. This Jets team is just too hot and this is a great underdog price on them. Florida has lost 2 of 4 and this is another tough match-up for them. 10* WINNIPEG +125 |

NHL Wednesday DALLAS STARS -135 - I had Dallas when they lost at Vegas earlier this season. It is a game they never should have lost. Also, the Stars have playoff revenge from last season. Right now Dallas is the hot team and the Golden Knights have gone cold of late. This is a great spot to lay a reasonable price on a revenge-minded team primed for a blowout win on home ice! |

PHILADELPHIA +125/+130 - The Flyers have won 5 straight games. It is not a fluke. As I predicted at the start of the season, the front office changes Philly has made would pay dividends and the club atmosphere is now different than the past for sure. As for the Islanders, they are off a win but this followed losses in 7 straight games and losses in 11 of 14 games. This is a divisional rivalry with some past playoff history too and these teams just do not like each other. The fact the motivated road team that is playing the better hockey right now is a solid dog makes this a must play the way I see it. Philly also will have Hart in goal and he has been much better this season than Sorokin has for the Isles! Road upset win here! |
|||||||
11-22-23 | Rangers +107 v. Penguins | Top | 1-0 | Win | 107 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
NEW YORK RANGERS +107 - The Rangers just had their first regulation loss in their last DOZEN games! This New York team is a perfect 3-0 this season when off a loss. Quick will likely be in goal since Shesterkin was in goal in Monday's loss at Dallas. The Rangers blew a 2-0 lead in that game and did lead it 2-1 entering the 3rd period. They gave up 6 goals (2 empty netters) after they had scored the first two goals of the game. That is the kind of a loss that will get a team immediately focused and they can not wait to take the ice tonight. I know the Pens are still a quality team but I don't trust Jarry against elite teams and the Pens goalie is facing an angry Blueshirts club tonight that should pepper him with plenty of shots on goal. I like great teams off a loss when they had been playing well just prior to that loss. The Rangers fit the bill in that regard. Grab the small dog on the road on the money line here! |

11-20-23 | Sharks v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks @ 10:05 ET - The Sharks will be out for revenge here. I do not expect them to get it as they are heavy road underdogs for a reason here. However, I do expect the Sharks to put up quite the fight and the result should be a high-scoring game here. San Jose lost at home to the Canucks by a 10-1 count when these teams met a few weeks ago. That was when the Sharks were reaching the low point of their winless start to this season and ended up allowing 10 goals in B2B games. Since then they have actually gone 3-3 in their last 6 games. However, they are still 0-7 on the road this season but I like the fact they scored 5 goals in their most recent game, a home win, and they can carry some momentum on the road here! Look for an aggressive game from the Sharks which will push the Canucks to be their best at home. Vancouver has lost B2B games so they need to bounce back here. The Canucks have not lost 3 straight games yet this season and so you have two teams coming in ready to push hard for a win tonight and the goals should be flying. The Sharks have so often struggled to stop quality opposition this season and, at the same time, Canucks have looked vulnerable in recent games so San Jose will score their fair share in this revenge games as well. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

11-19-23 | Blue Jackets v. Flyers -146 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -145/-155 vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 5:37 ET - The Flyers beat the Blue Jackets at Columbus earlier this season in their season opener. Tortorella was head coach with Columbus in the past so this game always has a little extra special meaning in addition to the fact this is a divisional game. I know the Flyers are in a B2B and just beat the Golden Knights yesterday. However, Philly has won 4 straight games and we get a bargain line on home ice here against a bad Blue Jackets team. That's because Hart was in goal yesterday so the goalie today is likely to be Ersson for the Flyers. But he has actually been solid in recent outings so I expect him to come up with another strong start here if called upon. Overall, the Flyers have bounced back strong this season while the Blue Jackets continue to struggle. Note that Columbus has lost 8 straight and 12 of last 13! They also have only 1 road win this entire season. I look for the Blue Jackets to struggle again as the Flyers stay hot. 10* PHILADELPHIA money line |

11-18-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Canucks -139 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -139 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Vancouver Canucks -140 vs Seattle @ 10:07 ET - This is a great set-up as the Kraken are off a 4-3 win in the shootout but had lost 12 of 17 games this season prior to that win. Vancouver is off a loss but had won 10 of 12 games heading into that one. Also, the Canucks are a perfect 3-0 this season when off a loss in which they allowed 3 or more goals. The Kraken are 0-2 this season when entering a game off a home win! Seattle is known for struggling to score and Thatcher Demko should be back between the pipes after sitting out the Canucks most recent game, a loss. Demko has gone 8-3 this season with a low GAA sitting around 2 goals and he dominates again here. This is a value price for the Canucks considering the situation. 10* VANCOUVER -140 |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play Anaheim Ducks Money Line +160 vs Florida Panthers @ 10:05 ET - Gibson should be back between the pipes here for the Ducks and he has been great. Dostal really struggled against the Avalanche but now Anaheim should bounce back off that ugly loss. With Gibson in the crease, the Ducks are 4-1 in his last 5 decisions. Also, he has a fantastic 2.19 ERA on the season including a sparkling 1.51 GAA this month. The Ducks were on an 8-2 run before losing their last game by, ironically, an 8-2 count! They are very undervalued here on home ice in my opinion. Florida is a solid team but the Panthers are 6-1 at home but have lost 5 of 9 on the road. This line is heavily shaded toward a club that also lost 22 of 41 road games last season as well. The Ducks are improving and solid on home ice and they show that again here. 10* Anaheim +160 |

11-16-23 | Canucks v. Flames -136 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
NHL Thursday Calgary Flames -135 vs Vancouver Canucks @ 9:07 ET - Tough back to back spot for the Canucks and they had to rally from two goals down for a hard-fought win in OT last night. Now Vancouver will likely go with back-up goalie Casey DeSmith in the B2B while the Flames have Jacob Markstrom back from injury and he was strong in his first start back and is now off B2B strong starts. He will prove to be a difference-maker again in this one. Calgary is on home ice plus has the situational advantage here. The Flames have had a tough time early this season but 10 of their last 14 games have been away from home ice. Their schedule has been tough and, with Markstrom back again, and more home ice action on the horizon, the Flames will build off winning 3 of last 5 and earning points in 4 of those 5 games! They are feeling better now than they were early in the season and they catch Canucks off that OT battle last night. Great spot for Flames. Lay it! 10* CALGARY |

NHL Wednesday Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line +1.5 -130 @ Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:37 ET - The Flyers have a big goalie edge here the way I see it. Carter Hart will be back tonight and he has been fantastic this season. Pyotr Kochetkov is the likely starter for the Hurricanes and though he is off a strong start, this followed an 0-3 start to the season and an ugly .836 save percentage. So, the fact is, even though Carolina is a strong team the Flyers are scrappy underdogs here that even managed to win 3 of 5 games while their top goalie was out. Now Hart is back and the Flyers can win this thing but we get the added value of the +1.5 goals on the puck line and that is the way to play this one. Carolina is off a 4-0 win but this followed a 10-game stretch in which the Hurricanes only had ONE WIN in TEN games that was by more than a 1-goal margin. The Canes just have not been as dominant this season as they were in the past. The Flyers are 7-7-1 this season but only 4 losses by more than 1 goal so at +1.5 goals, Philly is 11-4 this season. A lot of value here at the +130 price. PHILADELPHIA +1.5 -130 |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 -120 or OVER 6.5 +105 in Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche @ 10:05 ET - This is a revenge game for the Avalanche. They had an early season win at Seattle but then last week they lost at home to the Kraken. They want payback here but I can not trust their current level of goaltending. The Avs are struggling to keep the puck out of their own net recently. So they will make a big push here and should score very well but they are allowing too many goals and I can not trust them to stop Seattle. However, the Kraken are having the same issue, they have been allowing goals at an alarming rate of late. That said, the play here is the over as both clubs have been trending toward higher-scoring games and there is no reason for that to change here the way these goalies have been going. The Kraken have allowed 4 goals per game last 11 games. The Avalanche have allowed 4.3 goals per game their last 9 games. 10* OVER 6 or 6.5 in Seattle |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play Vancouver Canucks -155 @ Montreal Canadiens @ 7:07 ET - Great set up here. The Canadiens are off B2B wins but both after regulation. This followed 4 straight losses including the last two by a combined score off 11 to 6. As for the Canucks, they are off a rare 5-2 loss and already perfect this season when off a loss in which they allowed more than 2 goals. They will bounce right back here. Prior to the loss they had won 5 straight and 8 of last 9. Also, unlike the Habs, the Canucks do not even have a win that came after regulation. All their wins were within the 60 minutes and, in fact, averaged a margin of victory of 3.7 goals! More of the same on the way here and, because the Canucks are on the road, we get a reasonable line here. 10* VANCOUVER -155 |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in LA Kings vs Philadelphia Flyers @ 10:37 ET - Flyers have a goalie issue with Carter Hart back from injury but then missing last night's game due to illness. That means he is not 100% even if he does play tonight and it would be a back to back for Ersson if he plays. If Peterson plays he is facing his former team again but he struggled last season and is struggling again this season including at the AHL level. No matter what the Kings should erupt for goals here after they hammered the Flyers already in Philly 5-0 and they enter this one angry off an OT home loss to the Penguins. So the set up is ideal for goals here. That's because Philly will ride the emotion of last night's big 6-3 win at nearby Anaheim and they want revenge for that ugly 5-0 home loss to the Kings here. Also note that all of the Kings games this season at home totaled at least 6 goals and 5 of the 6 have totaled at least 7 goals. This one should as well given the situation and the dynamics. 10* OVER 6.5 in LA Kings |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line -105 @ Anaheim Ducks @ 10:05 ET - The reason this game is priced this way is because Carter Hart is expected back in goal for the Flyers tonight and yes he has been that good this season for the Flyers. So he will make a difference here and also this is a revenge game for Philly because the Ducks won the first meeting 7-4 at Philly. No, Hart did not play in that one and he and his Flyers teammates want revenge here. The Ducks have lost 3 of last 5 at home and are scoring an average of just 1 goal in their 5 losses this season. They are capable of being shutdown and Hart and the Flyers get some road payback here. Philly very hungry after losing at San Jose and giving the Sharks their first win of the season even though the Flyers had a big edge in shots on goal in that one with a 39-19 edge. 10* PHILADELPHIA -105 |

NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Edmonton Oilers Puck Line -1.5 +140 @ San Jose Sharks @ 10:37 ET - Putting goalie Jack Campbell on waivers was a sign that Edmonton knows it is put up or shut up time. The Oilers have had a very rough start to the season but truly the Sharks have been much worse. San Jose just got their first win of the season (finally) but they were truly out played by the Flyers in that game and so it is not like everything is now fine with this Sharks team. They have a lot of issues and remember they allowed 10 goals in each of their two most recent losses. San Jose started the season with 11 straight losses and the win over Philadelphia was a bit fortunate, to say the least. That said, the Oilers come in very hungry for a win and demanding a win and they will give their best effort of the season here. They are huge money line favorites on the road for a reason and the value here is with the puck line. By laying the 1.5 goals we get a reasonable line on a road team set to dominate in this one! 10* EDMONTON -1.5 -140 |

Now they take on a much weaker foe and considering Dallas is not in a good mood here, I look for them to crush Columbus in this one. They already beat the Blue Jackets in Dallas earlier this season 5-3 and did have a late 5-2 lead in that game. Columbus has lost 6 of 7 overall and all 3 of their regulation losses at home have been by a multiple-goal margin. Lay the puck line here for a solid plus money return in what should be a road rout. 10* Dallas -1.5 +115 |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play Los Angeles Kings (+) @ Vegas Golden Knights @ 10:07 ET - This is another one of those match-ups in betting that falls into the category of "someone knows something" as the saying goes. Yes, the Kings are playing very well but still they have 4 losses in their 11 games so far this season. Conversely, the Golden Knights have been nearly flawless this season and plus they are on home ice here and yet this line is as low as the -120 range on Vegas. This is basically an open invitation for people to take the Golden Knights. Of course when this is happening I am on the other side! Give me LA as I side with the bookmakers here as per usual. This is not without reason here of course and I love the fact LA is rested and off a 5-0 win at Philly a few days ago and they are a perfect 6-0 on the road this season and they have revenge here. Yes, they lost the first match-up with Vegas this season despite having a 2-0 lead and despite a 40-30 edge in shots on goal. So this one sets up well to be payback and I am not fooled by this line. Grab the small dog that is priced this way because this is where the sharp money is on this one! 10* LOS ANGELES KINGS |

OVER 6.5 in San Jose vs Philadelphia @ 10:37 ET - The Flyers are off a shutout loss and will respond here against the worst team in the league. However, even though Carter Hart was on the ice yesterday for some practice time, the #1 goalie is not ready to return. The Flyers are still down to back up options in the crease and whether it is Ersson or Petersen they will be peppered with shots in this one. That's because San Jose is still seeking first win of the season and they are off B2B losses in which they allowed 10 goals! The Sharks will be ready to push the attack in this one as they seek that first win. However, San Jose will not be able to hold up in their own end. The Flyers are angry off a 5-0 shutout loss and the Sharks have allowed 6 goals per game on home ice this season! San Jose has not scored well this season but things open up against a Flyers team down to back-up goalies and not having the greatest of defensive play for sure! OVER 6.5 in San Jose |

11-07-23 | Red Wings v. Rangers -148 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
NEW YORK RANGERS -150 vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:37 ET - The Rangers are off a SO loss in which they blew a 3-goal lead. I know Shesterkin is out for the Rangers but Quick has had a solid season overall and certainly he has played better overall than Husso of the Red Wings. Detroit is off a huge divisional win over big, bad Boston. This is a great flat spot for the them. The Wings had lost 4 of 5 heading into that one. As for the Rangers, they had won 6 straight before that loss and have not lost B2B games yet this season. Look for that trend to continue here as the hosts resume their red hot season and bounce right back. NY RANGERS -150 |

11-07-23 | Lightning v. Canadiens OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Montreal - Tampa Bay is in a B2B spot here which stresses an already stressful goalie situation as Vasilevskiy has been out due to surgery in September. 8 of 12 Lightning games have totaled at least 7 goals and their last two games have totaled 10+ goals. 4 of last 6 Canadiens games have totaled at least 7 goals including each of the last 3 at home so this is testing a 100% situation with Habs home totals having gone over in 3 in a row. The over is also 3-0 in Tampa's last 3 divisional games. More of the same here. OVER 6.5 in Montreal |

11-06-23 | Oilers v. Canucks OVER 7 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 107 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
NHL Monday OVER 7 +105 in Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers @ 10 ET - This is one of those match-ups to file under the category of "someone knows something" as this total is a 7 even though Demko has been lights out in goal for Vancouver this season. Not only that but I see some 6.5 out there but the price on the over at that number is ridiculously high. The books are basically begging you to bet the under here is what I am trying to tell you. In this case you have an Edmonton team that is again struggling in goal but that is so potent on offense. Also, they lost their season opener to the Canucks by an ugly 8-1 final. So the Oilers are absolutely out for revenge here but will have to rely on their offense to do it. I am sure that Edmonton is going to be relentless on the attack. That said, note that the Oilers have scored 10 goals in the 3 games since McDavid returned. Also, the Canucks are averaging 4 goals per game this season. So you have a nice setup here for plenty of offense. Based on the line and market activity I am seeing that is what sealed the deal for me with this one. I don't see either team failing to get 3 goals here and that will guarantee us of at least a 4-3 final and nothing less than a push. However, I do fully expect 8 or more goals here. 10* OVER 7 in Vancouver |

11-05-23 | Golden Knights v. Ducks +155 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 155 | 8 h 8 m | Show |
NHL Sunday Anaheim Ducks +155 vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 8:07 ET - Vegas is the only team without a regulation loss this season. In fact, every other NHL team already has 2 this this season expect for the Bruins who have only 1 regulation loss. Look for the Golden Knights to be dealt their first tonight. They are playing great for sure but now they are in a B2B spot and off a huge 7-0 win over Colorado. That is that type of big win over a quality opponent that can leave a team flat in its next game. That said, the Ducks have been sneaky good so far this season and are a division rival that would love to spoil the Vegas party that has been going on so far this season. The Ducks enter this game having won 5 straight games and they are very well rested as they have been off since Wednesday while the Knights were battling the Avalanche just last night. Plenty of motivation for the home dogs and a big rest edge and this one has upset written all over it. ANAHEIM +155 |

11-05-23 | Devils v. Blackhawks OVER 6 | Top | 4-2 | Push | 0 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Sunday OVER 6 -125 in Chicago Blackhawks vs New Jersey Devils @ 7:07 ET - The Blackhawks are off a 5-2 win last night. B2B spots tend to be tough spots in terms of minutes for defensemen and the goaltending situation. That said, look for the Blackhawks to be giving up plenty of goals here but the face a Devils team that has also has been surrendering plenty. With this total also dropping from a 6.5 to a 6 we have excellent line value here too. The Devils are coming off a 4-1 loss but this was the first time in 10 games that this season that they had one finish with under 7 goals! The Devils were scoring an average of 4 goals per game before that loss so I am sure they will bounce back here. Also, the Blackhawks have seen 4 of last 5 games total at least 7 goals. Chicago has had a road-heavy schedule so far this season and last night's 5-2 win is something to build off of here for sure but they will struggle to slow down the Devils. OVER 6 -125 in Chicago |

11-04-23 | Kings v. Flyers OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-0 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
NHL Saturday OVER 6.5 in Philadelphia Flyers vs Los Angeles Kings @ 7:37 ET - The Flyers off big win last night at Buffalo but have a goalie concern since Hart is injured and they used Ersson last night. It looks like this will be Cal Petersen getting the start tonight and he would like to get revenge against this Kings team that waived him last season. However, he struggled badly last season and is struggling so far with Lehigh Valley in the AHL for the Flyers organization. Also, the LA staff and players certainly know a lot about the tendencies of Petersen in the crease. So look for a lot of scoring here! The Flyers last 5 games have averaged 7.4 goals per game. The Kings games have averaged 7.5 goals per game this season. OVER 6.5 in Philadelphia |

11-04-23 | Blue Jackets v. Capitals -140 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
NHL Saturday Washington Capitals -140 vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:07 ET - This is a great set up from a situational perspective as Columbus is off a big win over the Lightning 4-2 but lost 4 straight by a combined score of 14 to 8 prior to this! The Capitals are off a rare shutout loss but had won 3 straight games prior to that by a combined score of 12 to 7. So this one is all about the situation and the value because the Jackets are not a very good hockey club and the Caps had started to get going before that ugly 3-0 loss. So we have the better team on home ice and in the better situation! We'll take it! WASHINGTON -140 |

11-03-23 | Devils v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
NHL Friday OVER 6.5 -120 in St Louis Blues vs New Jersey Devils @ 8:07 ET - All 9 Devils games have totaled at least 7 goals this season! Yes we are testing an angle here that is 9-0 so far this season. I know the Blues have been low-scoring this season but they are catching New Jersey in the 2nd game of a B2B so it will be little used Schmid most likely between the pipes instead of Vanecek. So the Blues should surprise and score goals here. But St Louis also will not be able to slow down high-scoring New Jersey and note that the Blues have allowed 4 or more goals in B2B games and 4 of last 6 games! Devils are allowing nearly 4 goals per game this season but also scoring at that same level and we should see a 4-3 type game here as the trend for New Jersey moves to 10-0 this season. OVER 6.5 -120 in St Louis |

11-03-23 | Flyers +155 v. Sabres | Top | 5-1 | Win | 155 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
NHL Friday Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +155 @ Buffalo Sabres @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers outshot the Sabres 40 to 15 Wednesday but goalie Carter Hart got hurt in the first period and Philly lost the game in the 3rd period in a game that was much closer than the 5-2 score would lead you to believe. It was a 2-2 game for much of the way and, again, Philly dominated shots on goal. So we have some excellent line value here because the Flyers are on the road and goalie Hart will miss. Teams often rally in the first game after a guy gets hurt and Philadelphia will do the same here as they take advantage of this chance at right back revenge. Keep in mind, the Sabres are off B2B wins for the first time this season and they have a huge game at Toronto on deck for tomorrow for Saturday night's Hockey Night in Canada. So, the point is, from a situational perspective this spot favors the Flyers and yet we get huge money line dog value here. Philly has a non-conference game with the Kings on deck so they will be the much more focused team here. 10* PHILADELPHIA +155 |

11-02-23 | Canadiens v. Coyotes OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Arizona Coyotes vs Montreal Canadiens @ 10:07 ET - The Coyotes are in a B2B but still hungry because they lost 4-3 in OT last night at Anaheim. As for the Canadiens, they have already been out west for awhile so this is not a big issue for them. They are ready to go here tonight at Arizona and they will look to push the pace because they know they are catching the Yotes in a B2B spot. The Canadiens are also fired up off a 3-2 shootout loss at Vegas in their most recent sport. 4 straight Arizona games and 5 of last 6 have totaled at least 7 goals. As for Habs, 3 straight games had totaled 7 goals before that tight one with Vegas. 10* OVER 6.5 in Arizona |

11-02-23 | Jets +130 v. Golden Knights | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Thursday - WINNIPEG +130 @ 10 ET - the Jets have playoff revenge here and yes they also lost already to the Golden Knights earlier this season too, however, their season ended last April right here in Vegas so you know they want revenge right here on this ice, the Golden Knights are a small home favorite for a reason, many could argue this line should be much higher but the odds makers are smart ladies and gentlemen, in this case you have a moderate price even though Vegas is 9-0-1 this season and the Jets have been a .500 team so far, the key here is that the Jets are off B2B losses but faced a tough Rangers team most recently and both defeats were after regulation, Winnipeg has not lost in regulation since the home loss to Vegas two weeks ago, Brossoit took that loss but this should be Hellebuyck in the crease for this one, Hellebuyck is one of the best goalies in the league and he has allowed an average of only 2 goals last 4 games, I think this is a very tricky line and Vegas is going to suffer their first regulation loss of the season, the Jets did outshoot the Knights in the first meeting this season and they come in as the hungrier team and the Golden Knights have had a lot of fortunate wins so far this season, grab the road dog in this one |

11-02-23 | Stars v. Oilers -133 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -133 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
NHL Thursday - EDMONTON -135 - back to back spot for the Stars which mean Wedgewood likely in goal because Oettinger started last night, these guys have been night and day so far, so the goalie situation means a big edge for Oilers here, I also like the fact Edmonton is at home and has the rest edge, Oilers got back on track with the big win in the Heritage Classic over Calgary, McDavid also came back for that game, so you have a great spot for the Oilers to keep building and a tough spot for Dallas here, that said it is excellent line value with the host here |

11-01-23 | Sabres v. Flyers -105 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers -105 vs Buffalo Sabres @ 7:07 ET - First off the Sabres, their most recent game notwithstanding, have had some goalie issues early this season. As for the Flyers, when Carter Hart starts Philly has been great. He has been very tough on home ice and this is a Sabres team that has struggled often this season prior to their upset win over the Avs. This is a great spot for Philly off B2B losses but on home ice and with their #1 goalie in the crease. The Sabres have been dealing with goalie injury issues already this season and I expect them to get rattled early by a determined Flyers bunch here that is hungry at home off the B2B losses. Sabres fall after an upset win and Philly gets back into the win column with a relentless effort here as they will be the more determined team. 10* PHILADELPHIA -105 |

10-31-23 | Predators +118 v. Canucks | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play Nashville Predators Money Line +115/+125 @ Vancouver Canucks @ 10:05 ET - At first glance this looks like an easy play on the Canucks. Of course you know what that usually means! The reason why Vancouver is such a small home ice favorite here is because the Predators have revenge here and Nashville has been playing much better last 4 games other than that 3-2 home ice loss to the Canucks. The Preds are on a strong run overall and getting good goaltending and they are buoyed further by getting the win in the shootout over Maple Leafs in most recent game. Nashville will build off that here and make it 4 of 5 wins as they continue to get strong play in the crease. I know the Canucks have been playing solid but they are off an OT loss and have lost 3 of 6 games and could be a bit down after the tough loss they just had while the Preds can't wait for a shot at revenge here. Look for the road team to come up big in this one as the Canucks think about their nice road trip down to sunny San Jose which which is up next for Vancouver and should be an easy win for their next game. 10* NASHVILLE +115/+125 |

10-30-23 | Hurricanes v. Flyers +169 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +160/+170 vs Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:07 ET - The Flyers have been better than most expected earlier this season and this is a home dog spot too strong to pass up. Yes, Philadelphia just got hammered in most recent game but Ersson was between the pipes and he has struggled in both starts this season. Conversely, Carter Hart has been great in all but one of his starts this season and he has been particularly strong at home. He has made 3 home starts and the Flyers have won those 3 games by a combined score of 12 to 3. Hart had dominated at home prior to last season and he is truly looking like the Hart we saw in the early days so far this season. As for the Hurricanes, they have been a great team in recent seasons and are still super strong and ultra dangerous. However, the Canes have not been as sharp as usual early this season. Yes they won their last two games but one of those wins was in OT against a struggling Seattle team. Also, 2 of their 5 wins this season have been against an awful Sharks team and Carolina has gone just 4-4 last 8 games with the only two regulation wins in this stretch over a San Jose team that is the worst in the league. So, great setup here with Canes off a shutout win and Flyers off an ugly loss with the back-up goalie. The hosts respond big here and get a shocking win! 10* PHILADELPHIA +160/+170 |

10-29-23 | Flames v. Oilers -148 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play Edmonton Oilers -150 vs Calgary Flames @ 7:07 ET - This is the outdoor game in Edmonton where the Elks play football in the Canadian Football League. This is also a huge rivalry as it is the Battle of Alberta with Calgary and Edmonton having a long-standing rivalry. The fact is that, no matter what the records currently say, this Oilers team is in much better shape right now than this Flames team. This is particularly true with Connor McDavid expected back for this game as well. Either way, I like Edmonton here. The Flames have a rookie head coach and they are playing like it! He entered with no NHL head coaching experience and it showing. We'll give him a mulligan early on this season and Ryan Huska does deserve time but right now this Flames team is a dumpster fire with 4 straight losses and defeats in 6 of last 7. Calgary has scored an average of only 1.25 goals per game in those 6 defeats while allowing nearly 4 goals per game! The Oilers are coached by Jay Woodcroft and he entered this season with a 76-32-12 NHL regular season record and two trips into the post-season with these Oilers. I know Edmonton has struggled early this season but they have faced a rather tough schedule and I look for this game to be a turning point for them early this season as they host this outdoor game against their biggest rival. Based on early season records this will be the weakest team Edmonton has seen since they faced Nashville and they blasted them 6 to 1. Look for big win here for Oilers. 10* EDMONTON -150 |
