02-07-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Islanders OVER 5.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 5.5 in NY Islanders vs Seattle Kraken @ 7:35 ET - We get a very low total to work with here because the Islanders are involved. However, they are in a B2B spot here and Varlamov played last night which means it will likely be Sorokin in goal tonight. Sorokin played in the All Star game and did have a shutout in his most recent start prior to the break. However, prior to this he allowed an average of 4 goals per game over his 3 prior starts. He has not been as strong as Varlamov. Also, this will be the home ice debut for New York's big-name addition with Bo Harvat coming on board. The Isles have needed to have some offensive production and I am looking for a strong effort tonight after the divisional win at Philly last night. Islanders will see a higher-scoring game here as having a game under their belt after the break should allow them the early edge over the Kraken but I do expect Seattle to come roaring back in this one too. The Kraken have won 11 of 15 games and scored an average of 4 goals per game during this 15-game stretch. Seattle has allowed 5 goals in each of last two road games and also just allowed 5 goals in most recent home loss too! Take advantage of the low number here as this one has strong odds of getting to at least 6 goals. 10* OVER 5.5 in New York Islanders |

02-06-23 | Islanders v. Flyers +120 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +120 vs New York Islanders @ 7:05 ET - The Islanders are off B2B wins but had lost 10 of 11 games prior to that. Also, both those wins were on home ice. On the road, the Isles have lost 5 straight games and 10 of last 12. The home team is 2-0 in the two games between these divisional foes this season. The Flyers have been opposite of the Islanders this season. New York started hot than cooled. Philly had a very rough stretch earlier in the season for an extended period. However, they have since won 10 of 16 games. They did lose their most recent home game however in OT to the Kings. Philly either led or was tied with LA throughout the entirety of that game. They will make up for that home ice loss here and get back into the win column as they continue to exceed expectations of late while the Islanders have truly been mired in a long slump. Yes they acquired Bo Harvat from the Canucks and he is a great player but it could take him some time to "get on the same page" with his teammates and they could be a bit sloppy on the ice coming out of the All Star break. Don't be surprised if the Flyers are the more cohesive group on home ice here and I look for a huge game from Carter Hart in goal as he has allowed a total of only 6 goals in regulation time of his last 4 starts. 10* PHILADELPHIA +120 |

02-01-23 | Hurricanes v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs Carolina Hurricanes @ 7:35 ET - As mentioned in yesterday's write-up on the Hurricanes OVER - a 5-4 winner - this Carolina team has been so strong in the offensive zone. The Canes, before the 4-1 win over Boston that preceded the win over the Kings last night, had seen 10 of their last 12 games total at least 7 goals! Incredibly, Carolina has averaged scoring 4 goals per game last 21 games! The Sabres also have been solid in the goal-scoring department on home ice with 3.8 goals scored per game in their 25 games as a host this season! Also, 15 of last 22 Buffalo home games have totaled at least 7 goals so excellent line value with this rather favorable posted total given the trending of these teams. The Hurricanes are in a back to back and used #1 goalie Andersen last night so it is likely to be Raanta tonight. Note that Raanta has allowed at least 3 goals in 3 of last 4 games. The Sabres have been struggling in the goaltending department so they are likely to give up at least 3 here too. This is one of those games - Canes offense so hot, Sabres strong on home ice - that has a great shot at both teams getting to at least 3 goals and of course that would allow this game to get to nothing less than a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Kings v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 102 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Carolina Hurricanes vs Los Angeles Kings @ 7 ET - I know the Hurricanes are a strong team that generally gets good goalie work and does not allow a lot of goals. However, this could be a bit of a flat spot for them off of the hard-fought win over the Bruins. That was a key 1-2 battle in the Eastern Conference and could leave the Canes perhaps still celebrating here. So don't be surprised if the Kings put Carolina on their heels a bit here early and get some goals but then the Hurricanes should come roaring back of course. This Carolina team has been so strong in the offensive zone. The Canes, before the 4-1 win over Boston, had seen 10 of their last 12 games total at least 7 goals! Incredibly, Carolina has averaged scoring 4 goals per game last 20 games! The Kings also have been solid in the goal-scoring department with 3.2 goals scored per game last 15 games! Also, 12 of last 15 Los Angeles games have totaled at least 6 goals so excellent line value with this rather favorable posted total given the recent trending. 10* OVER 6 in Carolina |

01-30-23 | Blues v. Jets -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 130 | 14 h 13 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Winnipeg Jets Puck Line -1.5 goals +130 vs St Louis Blues @ 8 ET - Blues have lost 4 straight games and 6 of last 8. St Louis allowed 4.5 goals per game in those 6 defeats. They are struggling on defense and in goal and all 6 of the losses by at least 2 goals! That is why I am comfortable laying the puck line here with the Jets at home. Look for a huge bounce back from Winnipeg who surely have the goalie edge here in addition to the home ice edge. Winnipeg already beat St Louis by a combined score of 9 to 2 in the first two meetings this season and another bloodbath is likely here. The Blues just can not get right. Even though the Jets are also off some recent losses, they have not lost 4 straight games all season. Also, prior to the 4-0 loss to the Flyers - a rare shutout loss for the Jets - Winnipeg had allowed average of just 2.3 goals per game last 9 games. They are the much better defensively and in goal in this match-up and they bounce back huge here in what is the final game for each club before the All Star break. Yes we must win this game by 2 or more goals to win our bet but we get plus money related to that PLUS 15 of the Jets last 19 victories have been by a multi-goal margin. 10* WINNIPEG -1.5 +130 |
|||||||
01-29-23 | Bruins v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Carolina Hurricanes vs Boston Bruins @ 5 ET - Revenge game for the Hurricanes after they lost at Boston earlier this season. Carolina has scored an average of 4 goals per game in last 19 games! The Hurricanes have allowed an average of 3.5 goals last 6 homes games. Andersen dealing with upper body injury so this could be Raanta again here in goal. The Bruins, like the Canes, have been one of the top teams in the NHL so far this season. Boston off a 4-3 loss in OT at Florida last night and both Swayman and Ullmark off rather mediocre starts in goal as Bruins have lost 2 straight. But this Boston team can score like crazy and the Bruins have averaged 3.7 goals per game last 20 games. I feel we have strong odds of each team getting to 3 goals here and that means nothing less than a 4-3 final would result. 10* OVER 6 in Carolina |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Canadiens v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Montreal vs Ottawa @ 7 ET - Tough spot for Senators. They are off a big 6-2 win at Toronto but this is 2nd game of a B2B and Talbot is out. That means Forsberg is expected to start again here in goal for the Sens even though it is 2nd night of a B2B. Montembeault expected to start for Canadiens and he has allowed 10 goals last 3 starts and has a 3.14 GAA on the season. Habs have scored an average of 3 goals last 6 home games but Ottawa comes rolling in with confidence off the 6-2 win last night. Look for plenty of goals here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Montreal |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Sharks v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh vs San Jose @ 7 ET -Â Â I love the value here with the over 6.5 because the Sharks over trending resumed with a 5-4 loss in most recent game after they had a couple lower-scoring games. Remember those two RARE unders for SJ had followed 15 straight San Jose games totaling at least 6 goals. The Sharks are so bad defensively and in goal and note that the Penguins are fired up off a 3-2 loss at Washington Thursday. The Penguins had scored at least 4 goals in 6 of last 9 games before scoring just 2 in the loss to the Capitals. The Sharks have averaged scoring 3 goals per game last 18 games. San Jose should score well here because Pittsburgh is without top goalie Jarry. However, don't be surprised when the Penguins are lighting the lamp early and often against this porous Sharks defense as San Jose also continues to struggle to get good goaltending too. 10* OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Senators v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators @ 7:05 ET - Ottawa is going to be without goalie Cam Talbot until after the All Star break most likely. Anton Forsberg came in for him versus the Islanders and played well in that game but in his last 4 starts he has allowed 18 goals and he is facing a tough Maple Leafs team here. Toronto should certainly score plenty here but the issue for the Leafs is they do have stretches where they do allow too many goals. This has been some case overall in some recent home games plus has been a prevailing trend in recent divisional games. Now they face another divisional foe and the Maple Leafs have allowed about 4 goals per game in last 4 divisional games. 10* OVER 6.5 in Ottawa |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Sharks v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Carolina Hurricanes vs San Jose Sharks @ 7 ET - Even if Frederik Andersen plays for the Hurricanes he may not be 100% here as he left his last start with an upper body injury. That game ended up being a 3-2 Carolina win that stayed under the total. But, prior to that, the Hurricanes 9 of last 10 games totaled at least 7 goals! I love the value here with the over 6 because the Sharks are off a couple lower-scoring games but this followed 15 straight San Jose games totaling at least 6 goals. The Sharks are so bad defensively and in goal and note that the Canes have scored an average of nearly 4 goals per game last 18 games. The Sharks have averaged 3 goals per game last 17 games. This one should be a 5-3 Canes win or at least 4-3 and I like the long-term scoring trending of each team that has taken place but the fact we get line value with SJ off B2B unders and the Canes off an under. 10* OVER 6 in Carolina |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Blues v. Coyotes OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Arizona Coyotes vs St Louis Blues @ 9:05 ET - Tarasenko is now back for the Blues but they are off a 5-3 loss as their defense and goaltending continues to be an issue. Ditto for the Coyotes as Arizona is off a 5-2 loss for the same reasons. Overall, I like Arizona when they are at their temporary home which is a small 5,000 seat arena. The Coyotes have averaged scoring 3 goals per game in their last 15 games here. The problem for Arizona is they have allowed an average of 4 goals per game in the 12 losses in their current 2-12 run. The good news for Coyotes fans tonight is they should see plenty of scoring tonight. Arizona will join the "goal party" here as the Blues have allowed 4.6 goals per game in last 9 losses! St Louis has scored an average of 4 goals per game in last 9 victories! No wonder 13 of last 19 Blues games have totaled at least 7 goals and all signs point to this one taking that run to 14 of 20 for St Louis. 10* OVER 6.5 in Arizona |

01-26-23 | Flyers +1.5 v. Wild | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 32 m | Show |
Thursday NHL 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers +1.5 -125 @ Minnesota Wild @ 8:05 ET - The Wild have lost 6 of 9 games. Yes a lot of those games were on the road but the fact is Minnesota is only 2-2 last 4 games on home ice and one of those wins was by just a single goal. That said, there is a lot of value here with the Flyers at +1.5 goals. Philadelphia has won a modest 13 of last 27 games but the key within that is the value of the +1.5 goals here. The Flyers 14 losses in that stretch included 7 by a single goal. That means the Flyers, at +1.5 goals, would produce a 20-7 record last 27 games. Not bad, eh? The fact is Philly is a live dog in this spot as they are coming off a loss and have been playing better of late when off a loss. They enter this game off B2B losses but, prior to the OT loss to the Kings, they had gone 6-1 last 7 times when off a loss. The Wild just back from a long road trip and have a revenge game versus Sabres on deck too. Neither of those are key angles here but still worth noting. 10* PHILADELPHIA +1.5 -125 |

01-25-23 | Blue Jackets v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -124 | 12 h 11 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 9:35 ET - The Blue Jackets re-assigned Tarasov to the minors last week. Their current goalies are Korpisalo and Merzlikins. In the last 10 Columbus games those guys have been in the crease, 8 of the 10 have totaled at least 7 goals! Those 8 games averaged about 8 goals. Overall, other than the only recent Tarasov made, the Blue Jackets have allowed an average of about 4 goals per game. Now they have to face a red hot Oilers team so this could get ugly. Edmonton has scored 5 goals per game during their current 6-game winning streak! Also, the Oilers conceded an average of 3 goals per game last 9 home games. So even on home ice Edmonton tends to give up goals but these guys can score like crazy. They are so dangerous and they face a very bad Blue Jackets defense and sub-par goaltending that also just gave a huge effort in Johnny Gaudreau's return to Calgary on Monday. Look for that to help turn this non-conference battle into a wide-open affair with plenty of open ice. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Islanders v. Senators OVER 6 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Ottawa Senators vs New York Islanders @ 7:05 ET - Both these teams allowing plenty of goals of late. The Senators have lost 6 of 8 games and allowed 4.5 goals per game in those 8 games. The Sens off a 5-1 home loss to the Jets but had scored at least 4 goals in 3 of last 4 homes games before that one. Look for Ottawa's trouble in terms of goals allowed to continue here but they should also resume their recent home ice goal-scoring success courtesy of facing a a struggling Isles team. New York has lost 10 of 12 gams and allowed 4 goals per game last 5 games. The Islanders did defeat the Senators earlier this season by a 4-2 count. They have scored an average of 4.3 goals per victory in their last 9 wins and they will be dangerous here but the Sens answer them goal for goal. This is one of those that should get to 3-3 at some point which means at least a 4-3 final would be the end result. 10* OVER 6 in Ottawa |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Sabres v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in St Louis Blues vs Buffalo Sabres @ 8 ET - The Blues Tarasenko is nearing his return. Even if he does not play tonight I still like the over here. The Sabres are in a tough back to back spot and off a 3-2 OT win. I could see this non-conference match-up in a back-to-back spot being played very wide open. St Louis continues to allow too many goals and Buffalo, in this situation, will likely prove susceptible in their own zone as well. Sabres allowing 3.5 goals per game last 11 games and St Louis has lost 8 of 15. The Blues have scored 4 goals a game in the 7 wins and allowed nearly 5 goals per game in the 8 losses. We'll see plenty of goals tonight given the situation for the Sabres and the current trending of St Louis. 22 of last 32 Blues games have totaled at least 7 goals. 10* OVER 6.5 in St Louis |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Panthers v. Penguins -139 | Top | 6-7 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play Pittsburgh Penguins Money Line -140 vs Florida Panthers @ 7:05 ET - The Panthers are in a back to back spot here. Florida had Lyon in goal last night and he struggled as I expected (we had over in their match-up with the Rangers here yesterday). Now, with Bobrovsky still dealing with an injury, it is likely be Knight who gets the start in goal tonight. He has allowed 21 goals in his last 5 appearances and only lasted about 1 period in one of those. Knight is back up from being assigned to AHL and I look for his NHL-level struggles to quickly resume. As for the Penguins, they are off a tight 2-1 OT loss and will be fired up here. They have the rest edge over the Panthers and plus Tristan Jarry has looked great in goal since he came back. He has allowed just 1 goal in regulation time of each of his two starts since he came back. So the Penguins have the edges here with a rest edge, home ice edge, and the goalie edge. Florida has lost 17 of 28 games this season on the road. Pittsburgh is solid 13-5-4 on home ice this season. Jarry is 16-5-5 with a solid 2.65 GAA this season. In 15 home starts this season he has only 2 losses in regulation time! We get a bargain price here because Penguins had slumped the final week of December and first week of January but they are starting to turn the corner and could be getting Kris Letang back soon as well. All in all, a great set-up here for home dominance. 10* PITTSBURGH -140 |
|||||||
01-23-23 | Panthers v. Rangers OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers @ 7:05 ET - I have plenty of respect for the Rangers and goalie Shesterkin. However, this is a dangerous Panthers offense and also Shesterkin has allowed at least 3 goals in 7 of his last 10 starts. If Halak gets the start, note that he has allowed at least 3 goals in 8 of his 12 starts this season. The Panthers are expected to start Alex Lyon between the pipes. I know he has been solid in his first two starts this season with his new team but this is still a netminder who has limited NHL experience. He has only 18 starts in his NHL career and still carries a 3.12 GAA in his career. So the Rangers should match Florida goal for goal here and I am expecting each club to get to 3 goals which would mean we would not do any worse than 4-3 final here. The Rangers beat the Panthers 5-3 at the start of the month and, prior to a 3-1 loss to a tough Bruins team in New York's most recent game, they had scored at least 3 goals in 6 of last 8 games. The Panthers have won 7 of 11 games and have scored about 4 goals per game last 11 games! This one should be highly entertaining with plenty of quality scoring chances. 10* OVER 6.5 in New York Rangers |

01-22-23 | Sharks v. Bruins OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Boston Bruins vs San Jose Sharks @ 7:05 ET - Boston is a very strong team known for defense and netminding too but I still love the over. One of the keys is that the Bruins are off some very satisfying wins over other teams from the East plus they have their first match-up of the season with a huge rival, the Canadiens, on deck. So Boston might look ahead a little and not be so sharp in their own end of the rink and they will allow some goals. However, this is still a Bruins team that will ultimately push hard and has won 8 of 9 and scored n an average of 5 goals in last 7 wins! So look for goals here as the Sharks also do score quite well. The problem for San Jose is they can not stop anyone. The Sharks last 15 games ALL have totaled at least 6 goals. Those 15 games have seen SJ allow an average of 4 goals per game. The Sharks also have scored, other than a 7-1 loss to Edmonton, 3.5 goals per game in the other 12 games of their last 13 games in this 15-game run of high-scoring contests. San Jose can put up goals like I said but they just are so bad defensively and in goal. Boston will surely take advantage. As you can see, a lot of reasons to expect plenty of goals tonight. 10* OVER 6.5 in Boston |
|||||||
01-22-23 | Kings v. Blackhawks OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Chicago Blackhawks vs Los Angeles Kings @ 7:05 ET - The Blackhawks were mired in a long-term slump and not scoring goals for much of this season. All that has changed now as they are heating up and scoring goals plus here they are taking on a Kings team that is seeing both their goalies struggle. So all the scoring should continue here because, as hot as the Chicago offense has been, they too continue to allow far too many goals. The Hawks have won 6 of 7 games and scored an average of 4 goals last 6 games. Chicago has allowed about 4 goals per game last 18 games! 5-4 anyone? Well we should see at least 4-3 here! Note that the Kings have allowed 3.7 goals per game last 10 games. Los Angeles has also scored 3.2 goals per game last 11 games. This is a non-conference match-up too so look for some lackadaisical defense and plenty of open ice. 10* OVER 6.5 in Chicago |

01-21-23 | Flyers +128 v. Red Wings | Top | 2-1 | Win | 128 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +125 @ Detroit Red Wings @ 7 ET - What a fantastic set-up this is! The Red Wings are off a big upset win at Vegas but, prior to that, Detroit had lost 6 of 8 games and 13 of 18 games! Because they are hosting here they are laying a bit of a price in this spot as the Flyers overall record is not great this season. The key though is that Philly has been quite overall but is coming off a loss and that means even more value here. Before the 4 to 1 home loss to Chicago, as a big favorite mind you, the Flyers had won 8 of 10 games! Also, Philadelphia is 5-1 the last 6 times they were off a loss. 3 of those 5 wins were on the road too so there is not huge concern here as far as being on enemy ice and the fact is this is a great value spot on the Flyers. 10* PHILADELPHIA +125 |

01-21-23 | Sharks v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 0 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs San Jose Sharks @ 7:05 ET - Columbus is hungry for a win here and will push hard but the Sharks do score quite well. The problem for San Jose is they can not stop anyone. The Sharks last 14 games ALL have totaled at least 6 goals. Those 14 games have seen SJ allow an average of 4 goals per game. The Sharks also have scored, other than a 7-1 loss to Boston, 3.5 goals per game in the other 12 games their last 13 games. San Jose can put up goals like I said but they just are so bad defensively and in goal. Columbus will take advantage. The Blue Jackets have been involved in some lower-scoring games over the past week or so but their home games have totaled 7 or more goals in 4 of the last 5. Also, the Blue Jackets have scored an average of 4 goals in last 4 home games when facing a team with a losing record. The point is, against weaker teams, the Blue Jackets tend to be dangerous in the offensive zone on home ice and I am expecting more of the same here. As you can see, a lot of reasons to expect plenty of goals tonight. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

01-20-23 | Senators v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators @ 7:05 ET - Sens found a way to get the 5-4 OT win at home versus the Pens on Wednesday but now Pittsburgh out for revenge. I can't trust the Penguins to stop the Senators though - plus vice versa too! - and the best bet here is on the over. The Senators have lost 4 of 6 and allowed 4.5 goals during this stretch. Pittsburgh has lost 9 of 12 and the Penguins have allowed 3.5 goals during this stretch. This has the makings of a game with great odds on each club getting to 3 goals or perhaps even 4 goals apiece like they did the night before last. The fact is Tristan Jarry might be back in goal here after missing time since early in the month but in his last 3 outings in which he went more than a period, he is has allowed an average of 4 goals. Both clubs struggling to keep the puck out of their own net and that continues here. Both teams struggling recently on the penalty kill as well. 10* OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh |

01-19-23 | Blackhawks v. Flyers -1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line -1.5 goals +125 vs Chicago Blackhawks @ 7 ET - The Flyers bounced back big Tuesday with 5-2 win over Anaheim after an embarrassing road loss at Boston. The Bruins are one of the top teams in the league this season and if you look at Philly's only recent losses, they are all to stronger teams in the league like Boston, Carolina, Toronto. Now Philadelphia is back home and hosting a Blackhawks team that is one of the worst teams in the league this season. As you can see from the large money line on this game, the Flyers are expected to win and I fully concur with that assessment. The key to the value here is on the puck line. Philly has won 8 of 10 games and each of their last 7 wins (and 11 of their last 13 victories) have come by a margin of 2 or more goals! Hart and Ersson have both been playing quite well in goal. The Blackhawks have been playing better but that was at home. This team has been awful on the road with just 3 wins in 16 away games this season. Chicago's last 14 losses have all been 2 or more goals! You can see why I am liking the Flyers to win by at least 2 goals here given the above. 10* PHILADELPHIA -1.5 goals +125 |

01-19-23 | Ducks v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Anaheim Ducks @ 7:05 ET - Ducks games continue to fly over the total and this is also a game where, on home ice, the Blue Jackets can get their offense flowing again. Yes, Columbus has not scored a lot lately but that had a lot to do with the tougher teams they were facing. Now the Blue Jackets take on a Ducks team that has allowed 5 goals per game last 6 games! As for Anaheim's offensive production, it has sagged lately but this is also a "get right" game for them against Columbus. The Blue Jackets got a strong start from Tarasov in their most recent game but he allowed 4 or more goals in 3 of his last 4 appearances before that. Also, Korpisalo has been out for personal reasons and he has allowed an average of 4 goals last 3 starts. As for Merzlikins, he has a 4.44 GAA on the season! So, as you can see, it is likely that we should see plenty of goals here as this is a non-conference battle featuring two teams that both struggle defensively in terms of allowing too many shots and too many high-quality scoring chances PLUS they each have had plenty of shoddy goaltending for most of the season! In fact, for goals allowed this season, the Blue Jackets have allowed more than any other team in the East and the Ducks have allowed more than any other team in the West! 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

01-18-23 | Stars v. Sharks OVER 6 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars @ 10:05 ET - The Sharks will start Reimer here in goal. He allowed 3 goals in his most recent start. That is actually his best start in his last 5 also! The fact is Reimer allowed at least 4 goals in 4 straight starts before that and has allowed an average of 4 goals in his last 7 starts. He is having a very rough season and now faces a Stars team that will pressure him constantly in this game. Dallas is hungry for a win here and will push hard but the Sharks do score quite well. The problem for San Jose is they can not stop anyone. The Sharks last 13 games ALL have totaled at least 6 goals. Those 13 games have seen SJ allow 4 goals per game. The Sharks also have scored, other than a 7-1 loss to Boston, 3.5 goals per game in the other 11 games their last dozen games. San Jose can put up goals like I said but they just are so bad defensively and in goal. Dallas will take advantage. The Stars have been involved in some lower-scoring games over the past week or so but their games with San Jose have totaled 7 and 9 goals respectively. Also, the Stars have scored at least 4 goals in 3 of last 5 games including each of the last two. Dallas is off their third shutout win of the season. After the first two their next games totaled 9 and 11 goals respectively. The point is you can see a lot of reasons to expect goals tonight. 10* OVER 6 in San Jose |

01-17-23 | Sabres v. Blackhawks OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Chicago Blackhawks vs Buffalo Sabres @ 8:35 ET - The Blackhawks are off a loss in which they allowed 8 goals. The fact is it is hard to trust their goaltending. The good news for Chicago is they did score 5 goals in that game and their season-long trouble of scoring goals seems to be easing up some as they now have scored an average of 4 goals per game last 3 games. The Hawks picked up a few recent wins too so confidence is up a bit and they will score goals here but again struggle to stop the opposition. In this case that is a very focused Buffalo team which has allowed an average of 4 goals in their last 7 games. The key for the Sabres is getting their offense going again and they should do just that here. Buffalo is off an ugly 4-1 home loss to Florida but the Sabres have won 6 of last 7 on the road and have scored an average of 3.5 goals per game during this run! They will have their opportunities here against the Blackhawks and they actually have scored 4.7 goals in their last 11 road games so, going further back, their performances on enemy ice are even more impressive. I see each club getting to at least 3 goals given all of the above and that would guarantee us of attaining at least a 4-3 final here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Chicago |

01-17-23 | Ducks v. Flyers -1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 150 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line -1.5 goals +145 vs Anaheim Ducks @ 7 ET - Yes the Flyers are off an embarrassing road loss yesterday but it was at Boston and the Bruins are one of the top teams in the league this season. Now Philadelphia is back home and hosting a Ducks team that is one of the worst teams in the league this season. As you can see from the large money line on this game, the Flyers are expected to win and I fully concur with that assessment. The key to the value here is on the puck line. Philly had won 7 of 8 games prior to yesterday's ugly loss. Also, each of their last 6 wins (and 10 of their last 12 victories) have come by a margin of 2 or more goals! Hart and Ersson had both been playing quite well in goal of late prior to yesterday. The Ducks are also in a B2B spot here but they lost a heartbreaker at Pittsburgh. That is the type of gut-wrenching loss that is difficult to bounce back from. Also, prior to that OT loss, Anaheim's last 12 losses had featured 11 by 3 or more goals! You can see why I am liking the Flyers to win by at least 2 goals here given the above. Also, note that Ducks are not getting good goaltending from anyone of late. Other than a shocking 2-0 win over Dallas awhile back, the Ducks other 7 recent games have seen them allow an average of 5 goals per game. With Flyers off a 6-0 road loss yesterday, you know Tortorella will have the previously hot (7 of 8 run!) Flyers ready to bounce back strong here. 10* PHILADELPHIA -1.5 goals +145 |

01-16-23 | Rangers v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 16 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs New York Rangers @ 7:05 ET - I lost with the Rangers over yesterday. Shesterkin was huge in goal but will not be again in goal here after the 2-1 loss to Montreal. The Canadiens surprised in that Montembeault drew back to back starts and he was good yesterday. We should get it right back tonight though with the Rangers over. Note that Halak will very likely be the starter in goal for New York in this one and he has allowed at least 3 goals in 8 of his 11 starts this season. Also, he had allowed 10 goals in his last 3 starts before he came up with a rare good one in his most recent outing. Halak has been used sparingly so it makes sense he often struggles and I like Columbus to score well here at home. The problem for the Blue Jackets is they are giving up a ton of goals no matter who is guarding the cage and I look for that problem to continue here. Columbus had one low-scoring 1-0 loss to Washington but in their other 6 most recent games the Jackets have allowed 4.7 goals per game. Columbus has scored at least 3 goals in 3 of last 5 games and the Blue Jackets should have success as they catch the Rangers in a back to back. New York, the last 9 times when off a loss, has seen the next game total at least 7 goals 7 of 9 times. Those 7 games have averaged 8 goals scored and I look for a similar result here. Keep in mind, the Rangers 2-1 loss last night featured 70 shots on goal so there was plenty of action at both ends. More of the same here but this time there will be more goals! 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

01-16-23 | Devils v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in San Jose Sharks vs New Jersey Devils @ 4:05 ET - I like non-conference match-ups like this where neither team has been getting overly impressive goaltending plus the goals seem to be free-flowing for both clubs in recent weeks. Note that the Sharks have seen 10 of last 12 games total at least 7 goals and the only two that did not did reach the 6-goal mark. If you like goals, tune into San Jose's games! As for the Devils, each of their last 5 games have totaled at least 7 goals. New Jersey has scored 4.5 goals per game last 8 games! The Devils have allowed 3 goals per game last 10 games. I am looking for each team to get to the 3-goal mark in this one and that means the game would not be able to end without at least a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6.5 in San Jose |

01-15-23 | Canadiens v. Rangers OVER 6 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens vs @ 5:05 ET - Of course Shesterkin might be in goal for the Rangers here and he has been solid. But the the Canadiens have a huge mess at the goalie position in this spot. The Habs are off a hard-fought 2-1 loss yesterday against the Islanders and Montembeault started that game. He could get the call again here, which would be a challenge for sure in a B2B but it is because Allen is dealing with an upper body injury. It was significant enough that Primeau was called up from the AHL to back-up yesterday against the Isles. Primeau has struggled both at the NHL level in his career and also in the AHL this season. Allen has also struggled badly and is dealing with an injury. Montembeault would likely not fair well in this back to back spot either as that is a rarity for goalies. So I see Rangers having a strong day offensively but don't be surprised if the Canadiens fight back here and that is why I like the over. I feel the Rangers could overlook them since they have a sub-par record this season but Montreal had scored at least 4 goals in 2 of last 3 before getting shut down yesterday. The Habs, prior to yesterday, saw their last 3 road games all total 9 or more goals. The Rangers are off a hard-fought 2-1 OT loss in most recent game but their 5 games heading into that one saw them average 4 goals per game. More of the same on tap here and this total is a value at 6 goals rather than the 6.5 we see so often. 10* OVER 6 in New York Rangers |

01-14-23 | Oilers v. Golden Knights OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers @ 10:05 ET - The Oilers have two choices here in this tough back to back spot. They have to stick with Campbell here in net because Skinner is back in Edmonton for birth of first child. Or it will be Pickard who has been recalled to the Oilers because of the current Skinner situation. Now I know Campbell is off a solid start (again) for the Oilers but he has generally struggled this season and particularly has had moments of struggles in his road starts and this would be a back to back. If it is Pickard that gets the call it will be his first NHL start in quite some time. The Golden Knights will put a lot of pressure on him here as they are on home ice and I expect them to have success in pressuring whichever goalie they face. However, the high-flying Oilers are of course one of the most dangerous teams in the league with all their scoring firepower. They will take advantage of a Vegas team that has had long stretches with a tendency to give up a lot of goals. That is a big reason that the Golden Knights had seen 5 of their last 6 home games total at least 7 goals before the last two fell just short at 6 goals. Vegas has allowed 4 or more goals in 4 of last 6 games versus Western Conference opponents. The Knights have scored a respectable 3.3 goals per game last 9 games. Oilers have given up 3.2 goals per game last 6 games and we should see a 4-3 or 5-3 type final in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vegas |

01-14-23 | Flyers +1.5 v. Capitals | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line +1.5 -130 @ Washington Capitals @ 7:05 ET - Dating back to November 30th, the Flyers have won "only" 10 of 20 games but only 4 of the 20 games were a Philly loss by more than 1 goal. Philly is a pretty confident team right now. They have won 6 of 7 and that includes a win over the Capitals in most recent game. That said, this is a lot of value to be giving the Flyers in this spot. Sure Washington wants revenge but Flyers have been playing hot and 80% of their games since late November have seen them either win the game or lose by just a single goal! That is 80% over a month and half period. Laying a -130 price to have the 1.5 goals here is a bargain. The Capitals have only 5 wins by more than 1 goal in last 13 games. Perhaps Washington gets their revenge here but I have a feeling the Flyers are going to give the Caps all they can handle here and this one goes down to the wire. Already without Hagelin, the Capitals have now lost Carlson to injury too. 10* Philadelphia +1.5 -130 |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers @ 10:35 ET - The Oilers have to sick with Campbell here in net because Skinner is back in Edmonton for birth of first child. In fact, Pickard has been recalled to back up here because of that. Now I know Campbell is off a solid start for the Oilers but he has generally struggled this season and particularly has moments of struggles in his road starts. The Sharks will put a lot of pressure on him here as they are on home ice and I expect them to have success in doing so. However, the high-flying Oilers are of course one of the most dangerous teams in the league with all their scoring firepower. They will take advantage of a San Jose team that continues to give up a lot of goals. That is a big reason that the Sharks have seen 13 of their last 17 games total at least 7 goals and this one sure should too! San Jose has allowed 4 or more goals in 8 of last 11 games. The Sharks have scored a respectable 3.3 goals per game last 10 games. Oilers have given up 3.4 goals per game last 5 games and we should see a 4-3 or 5-3 type final in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in San Jose |

NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Detroit Red Wings vs Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7:05 ET - We know that the Maple Leafs are going to get theirs here. Toronto scored 4 last week when they met the Red Wings and Detroit enters this game having allowed 4 goals per game last 11 games. However, the positive for the Red Wings here is more than just the revenge angle. They are catching the Leafs in 2nd game of a B2B plus they get them on home ice in the rematch. Detroit has scored an average of 4 goals per game in their last 6 home games. Toronto has scored an average of 4 goals per game in going 7-3 last 10 games. Before a 2-1 win last night, the Maple Leafs had allowed 3.5 goals per game last 8 games. Also, since Murray played last night this will likely be Samsonov in between the pipes for the Leafs here. He shut down the Red Wings in his last start but he entered that one having allowed 4 goals per game last 4 games. 10* OVER 6.5 in Detroit |

NHL Thursday 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes Puck Line -1.5 -120 @ Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:05 ET - The Hurricanes are angry right now. They are on a rare losing streak. One of the 4 defeats in this rare tough stretch was against Columbus as the Canes fell short in the shootout despite outshooting them 42 to 18 in that game! That said, this is a payback spot and the Canes will not be denied. The Blue Jackets have just 2 wins last 13 games and one of them was the very fortunate win over Carolina despite being dominated and the other was a win over a punch-less Blackhawks team that just keeps on losing games. The Jackets, in their last 14 losses, have been outscored 60 to 22. That means they lost those games by an average margin of about 3 goals. Look for this to be another ugly one. 10* CAROLINA -1.5 -120 |

01-10-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 40 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs Seattle Kraken @ 7:05 ET - Great set up here as Kraken off a shutout win on the road and Sabres off a shutout loss at home! Those are very unique circumstances for BOTH clubs and then adding to the value of this situation is that this is a back to back spot for BOTH clubs. Jones has been hot in goal for Seattle but since this is a back to back it is unlikely he will play and that means it will be a struggling Grubauer (having tough season) between the pipes. Anderson was in goal for Buffalo last night so this would normally be Luukkonen in the crease tonight but he was sent to minors. Note that each of last 4 games not started by Anderson have resulted in games totaling at least 7 goals! In fact, those 4 games averaged 9 goals per game. Tonight it will likely be Eric Comrie getting the call and he is having a rough season too and is just now coming off injured reserve. Comrie, has not been in the NHL since November 16th and he has posted a 4-7 mark this season with an ugly 3.62 GAA and an unimpressive .887 save percentage in his 11 games. This one should fly over the total given all of the above. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |

NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play Winnipeg Jets Money Line -130 @ Detroit Red Wings @ 7:05 - The final home loss in regulation time that Winnipeg suffered last season came against this team. That is not a huge deal but it is still worth noting as it is the first time the Jets have faced Detroit since then. The big keys here are that this is a classic case of hot versus not. Also, not only are the Red Wings losers of 3 straight and off a loss to Toronto, Detroit again has the division rival Maple Leafs on deck. This is a classic "sandwich spot" as they have a non-conference battle right in the middle of big games versus a divisional foe that also has a revenge aspect to it. So, that said, this is a great spot to ride a Jets team that has won 5 straight games! Plus David Rittich got the last start in goal and with Winnipeg not in action again until Thursday, that means Connor Hellebuyck should get this start for sure. Hellebuyck is one of the best goalies in the league and having another big season and has been particularly red hot of late. The red hot road team should dominate in this one. 10* WINNIPEG JETS -130 |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Montreal Canadiens vs Seattle Kraken @ 7:35 ET - The Canadiens have allowed 4 or more goals in 7 straight games. In fact they have allowed an average of 5.4 goals during this rough stretch. However, since Montreal is at home here they should score well too and that is why the play here is the over. The Habs will take advantage of a Kraken team that has a tendency to allow a lot of goals when on the road. Seattle has allowed 4 or more goals in 6 of last 10 road games. Those games have averaged 8.7 goals apiece and almost all of them have gotten to at least 7 goals in total. With Seattle averaging 5.5 goals scored last 4 games - and Kraken scored at least 4 in all 4 - this one should fly over the total. 10* OVER 6.5 in Montreal |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Minnesota Wild vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET - Both teams in a back to back spot and both off very high-scoring games and the same result is expected today. The Wild have a tough goaltending situation because Fleury struggled yesterday and is out for today and Gustavsson has been battling an illness and should go today but it is doubtful he will be 100%. That is why the Wild even called up Zane McIntyre from the AHL and he has not even played in an NHL game in 6 years. So look for St Louis to continue to be very aggressive in putting pressure on the opposing netminder but the problem for the Blues as they have had struggling goaltending too. It was Binnington in goal yesterday so now it likely will be Greiss and he could be rusty here after a long layoff without a start. The Wild should enjoy plenty of scoring success on home ice. Minnesota has scored 4 or more goals in 8 of last 10 games! The Wild will get their fair share of chances against a Blues team that has allowed 4 goals per game last 8 games. The key for St Louis however is their own offensive firepower as they have scored an average of 4 goals per game last 11 games. The Wild off a 6-5 game and the Blues off a 5-4 game and I am expecting something similar here and, at the very least, a 4-3 type game. 10* OVER 6.5 in Minnesota |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Washington Capitals vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 5:05 ET - The Blue Jackets off 4-3 upset win yesterday over Carolina. Korpisalo was in goal so if he played here it would be a B2B. Anytime Korpisalo has not started Columbus has allowed 4 or more goals in 9 of last 11. They have allowed an average of 4.5 goals in those 11 games. At least Columbus now has won 2 of 4 and they are starting to score a bit again and that sets this one up well for a solid over. That is because the Capitals and a red-hot Ovechkin are off a game in which they got stifled in a 3-2 loss Thursday. Look for a big bounce back here as, prior to that loss, the Caps had won 12 of 15 games and scored an average of 4.3 goals per game during this stretch. This one has all the makings of at least a 4-3 game if not, much more, when you consider all the situational aspects. 10* OVER 6.5 in Washington |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Montreal Canadiens vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET - Granted the Habs have not been scoring a lot of goals in their recent losing streak but the Blues have been giving up piles of goals plus the Canadiens are on home ice for this one. Montreal will get their goals here but they can stop no one. The Canadiens have lost 10 of 11 games and in their last 10 games the 9 losses featured 8 in which Montreal allowed at least 4 goals. The Habs, incredibly, have allowed an average of 5 goals per game in their last 18 losses. As for St Louis, they are 3-2-2 last 7 games but have allowed 4 goals per game during this stretch. The Blues have scored 4 goals per game last 6 games. I like the recent trending of St Louis in the goal-scoring department plus the fact that Binnington is still shaky in almost all of his starts. When these teams met in St Louis earlier this season the game totaled 11 goals! Look for at least 7 in the rematch as the Blues will go hard for revenge here but will continue to have trouble in their own end of the ice as well. 10* OVER 6.5 in Montreal |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:05 ET - After coming up just short of the over last night in Detroit, the Red Wings will help us out here. They fought hard for that 3rd goal last night but just could not quite manage it against Florida. They will enjoy better success here against a Toronto team that has been giving up a lot of goals. The key to the over is that the Maple Leafs will be facing a tough goaltending situation for the Red Wings. Since Detroit had Husso in action last night, he must either go again in a B2B or it will be Hellberg in the crease. Hellberg has struggled in recent road outings plus has not been playing much and could be rusty. That is part of the reason Nedeljkovic was sent to AHL is because there was not enough goalie work to go around. So the Leafs should score well here against a Wings club that has given up 4 goals per game in last 6 road games. Before B2B losses to Devils and Florida, the Red Wings had scored at least 3 goals in 6 straight games including each of last 3 road games. But the Maple Leafs are a huge favorite here for a reason and this one has the makings of a 5-3 final. Toronto has allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of last 5 games! The Maple Leafs are off a home loss in which they where held to 1 goal but this was on the heels of the Leafs scoring an average of 4.5 goals per game in 7 preceding home games and they bounce right back here. Trouble for the Maple Leafs is they have been giving up a lot of goals so this should be a barnburner here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Toronto |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Detroit Red Wings vs Florida Panthers @ 7:05 ET - The Red Wings continue to give up a lot of goals no matter who has been between the pipes. However, Detroit has been, Wednesday notwithstanding, scoring goals well also. That is why each of the Red Wings last 7 games have totaled at least 6 goals (and 5 of the 7 have totaled at least 7) and these games have averaged about 8 goals apiece! As for Florida, they were able to get their goal-scoring going again thanks to 3 of last 4 games at home. In those home games the Panthers themselves scored an average of 5 goals per game! The problem for Florida continues to be at the other end of the ice! The Panthers enter this game having allowed 4.5 goals per game in their 22 losses this season but they have been scoring quite well too again as some home ice games got them rolling again! This is the type of game that should see each team reach the 3 goal threshold given all the variables and that means the game could finish with nothing less than a 4-3 final. The Red Wings continue to have goalie issues and that includes Husso allowing at least 4 goals in 5 straight starts. No matter who has been in goal for both Florida and Detroit, the goals conceded almost always has been an issue. I look for the Red Wings run to reach 6 of 8 games totaling 7 goals or more. 10* OVER 6.5 in Detroit |

NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in New Jersey Devils vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET - Long-time followers know I generally release one play per day in NHL. Tuesday I wanted to play the St Louis over but shied away due to injuries - Tarasenko, O'Reilly, plus Krug still out. Sure enough the Blues game, despite the absences, ended up a 6-5 St Louis win over the Maple Leafs in Toronto which, of course, easily flew over. Fortunately that night ended up okay for us because we had the Panthers over which was 5-3 by the end of the 2nd period. But this time I will not hesitate to back the Blues as their trend for high-scoring games can continue even with some absences on the ice. St Louis is not getting good goaltending because Binnington is struggling. The Devils got a solid start in goal last night from Vanecek but, since this is a back to back, that means it will likely be Blackwood in goal tonight and he'll face a barrage of shots from the Blues. Blackwood has allowed 4 goals in each of last two starts. Devils, prior to last night's win, had allowed 3 or more goals in 8 of last 11 games. Blues have allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of last 5 games. 7 of last 9 St Louis games have totaled at least 7 goals and this should be a high-scoring non-conference battle. 10* OVER 6.5 in New Jersey |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Detroit Red Wings vs New Jersey Devils @ 7:05 ET - The Red Wings continue to give up a lot of goals no matter who has been between the pipes. However, Detroit has been scoring goals well also. That is why each of the Red Wings last 6 games have totaled at least 6 goals (and 5 of the 6 have totaled at least 7) and these games have averaged about 8.5 goals apiece! As for New Jersey, the two times they have met the Red Wings this season the games have each totaled at least 7 goals! Also, the Devils enter this game having allowed 4 goals per game last 9 losses but they have been scoring quite well too again with at least 3 goals scored in 4 of last 5 games and they scored at least 4 in 3 of those 4 higher-scoring games! This is the type of game that should see each team reach the 3 goal threshold given all the variables and that means the game could finish with nothing less than a 4-3 final. The Red Wings continue to have goalie issues and that includes Husso allowing at least 4 goals in 4 straight starts. He could be back from illness here but you can see why I would expect him to struggle and no matter who has been in goal for Detroit, the goals conceded almost always has been an issue. Also, the Devils long-term losing run after a hot start to the season has had a lot to do with too many goals allowed. I look for the Red Wings run to reach 6 of 7 games totaling 7 goals or more. 10* OVER 6.5 in Detroit |

NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs Arizona Coyotes @ 7:07 ET - Non-conference match-up should be free-flowing without a lot of defensive intensity and both these teams have been giving up a lot of goals and have had sub-par goaltending. 9 of Arizona's last 12 games have totaled at least 7 goals. The Coyotes have scored decently but also allowed plenty with giving up an average of 4 goals per game during this stretch. Likewise, the Panthers have been trending over as well. Florida has allowed 4 or more goals in 8 of last 11 games. Also, Florida does score well at home where they have averaged about 4 goals per game last 15 games. So all signs point to at least a 4-3 type game in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Florida |

01-02-23 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche OVER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Colorado Avalanche vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 9:05 ET - I feel we are getting a lower total to work with than we should here because the Avalanche have not been scoring a lot of goals. The key here is they are facing a Golden Knights team that has been giving up a lot of goals and Colorado is on home ice so they should be able to get back on track in terms of scoring well. As for the Avalanche goals allowed situation it has been a consistent issue now so I am happy to take the over here as Vegas should have a big day with plenty of goal-scoring production. The Avs have allowed an average of 5 goals in last 3 games and two of those were at home. Colorado did score an average of 3 goals per game but Georgiev has struggled between the pipes for the Avalanche. Vegas is also having goaltending issues with Thompson. Note that the Golden Knights have allowed 3.5 goals per game in regulation time of their last 4 games. You can see why I am expecting each to get to at least 3 goals here and that would lead us to a situation where the game must end at least 4-3 for a final. In 5 of last 9 games Vegas has allowed at least 4 goals! The Knights last two road games have finished with 5 and 6 goals respectively but this followed a stretch in which 9 of last 12 Vegas road games totaled at least 7 goals. 10* OVER 6 in Colorado |

01-01-23 | Sabres v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Ottawa Senators vs Buffalo Sabres @ 7:05 ET - A loss with Ottawa's total actually ended the streak of 12 straight winners for me in NHL but I won't hesitate to come right back with the over involving the Senators here on the very next day. Ottawa had a 2-0 lead after one period yesterday but did not score the rest of the way and the Sens paid the price for that in the eventual 4-2 loss. So tonight you know Ottawa will be focused on carrying some scoring all the way through this one. The Senators game also was unique last night in that it was 4-2 within the first 3 minutes of the 3rd period but then there was no more scoring over the final 16 minutes of the final period. Tough beat for us but we should get it back tonight. Since it is a back to back for both these teams note that Sens likely to go with Forsberg in goal and Sabres likely to go with Anderson in goal. Neither guy has started in about 2 weeks and both the Christmas and New Years Eve holidays have been a part of this time frame. Each goalie could be rusty for sure. That said, also note that the Sabres have scored 4.5 goals per game last 13 games! Look for at least a 4-3 type game here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Ottawa |

12-31-22 | Senators v. Red Wings OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Detroit Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators @ 7:05 ET - The Red Wings continue to give up a lot of goals no matter who has been between the pipes. However, Detroit has been scoring goals well also. That is why each of the Red Wings last 5 games have totaled at least 7 goals and these games have averaged 9 goals apiece! As for Ottawa, the last time they met the Red Wings the game totaled 9 goals! Also, the Senators enter this game having allowed 4 goals per game last 3 losses but they have been scoring quite well too with a 10-6 run seeing them produce an average of 3 goals scored per game. This is the type of game that should see each team reach the 3 goal threshold given all the variables and that means the game could finish with nothing less than a 4-3 final. The Red Wings continue to have goalie issues and that includes Husso allowing at least 4 goals in 4 straight starts. He could be back from illness here but you can see why I would expect him to struggle. Also, the Sens have allowed 3 goals per game last 6 games and I look for the Red Wings streak to reach 6 straight games totaling 7 or more. 10* OVER 6.5 in Detroit |

12-30-22 | Oilers v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6.5 | Top | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers @ Seattle Kraken @ 10:05 ET - The Oilers off tight, hard-fought 2-1 win over rival Calgary. That sets this one up perfectly for an over and Edmonton had been trending over prior to that game. Not only that, they have been a solid over team all season long as the Oilers 35 games this season had featured 25 that totaled 7 or more goals. Now after a rare low-scoring grinder, but against their biggest rival, things will return to "normal" against Seattle and I am looking for 7 or more goals here. The Kraken, ironically, also are off a game against Calgary that was an under as they lost 3-2 to the Flames. Prior to that, Seattle was 8-6 last 14 games and those games averaged 8 goals apiece. Don't be surprised if this one gets in the 8 range as well and certainly all signs point to at least 7 in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

12-29-22 | Flyers v. Sharks OVER 6 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 46 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in San Jose Sharks vs Philadelphia Flyers @ 10:35 ET - With goalie Carter Hart in concussion protocol, the Flyers are really in trouble here. Sandstrom is the normal back-up but has been dealing with an illness plus he his struggling this season anyway. That brings us to Ersson and he was very shaky in his NHL debut recently versus the Hurricanes. That said, look for plenty of goals here because the Sharks should enjoy plenty of success. The issue for San Jose is that they are also likely to surrender plenty of goals. The Sharks have allowed an average of 4 goals per game in going 3-8 last 11 games. San Jose has scored an average of 3.5 goals per game last 8 games. The Flyers last 4 games have averaged 9 goals apiece as they have scored well but can't stop anyone. The Sharks have had 8 of last 10 games total at least 7 goals and those games averaged 8 goals. More of the same here. 10* OVER 6 in San Jose |

NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 goals in Vancouver Canucks vs San Jose Sharks @ 10:07 ET - The Sharks and Canucks have already played a pair of high-scoring games this season. Overall, San Jose games continue to trend toward being higher scoring. The Sharks 7 of last 9 games have totaled at least 7 goals. The Canucks have allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 11 games. Vancouver, not including OT or SO of course, have averaged scoring 5 goals in last 5 wins. Canucks are favored here for a reason and truly plenty of reason to expect a lot of goals from both sides in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Canucks v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks @ 9:05 ET - The Canucks off a 6-5 OT win yesterday. That was the 3rd straight game in which they have allowed at least 5 goals. Vancouver has actually allowed at least 5 goals in 7 of last 10 games. The Oilers have seen 19 of their last 25 games total at least 7 goals! That means this game, based on pure statistics for Edmonton, has a 76% chance of going over the total of 6.5 goals posted on this one. You can see why I like the over here quite a lot and also the Oilers have allowed at least 3 goals in 5 straight games. Edmonton also scores plenty though too and so if you think both they and their opponent each reach the 3-goal mark here, you know there is no way the game does not end with anything less than 7 goals! It has to be at least a 4-3 final in that case. Keep in mind here that another key is the Canucks are in a B2B spot here and Vancouver had Martin between the pipes yesterday plus Demko is still out with injury. That means they are down to a #3 goalie here or using Martin again in 2nd game of B2B. Neither option is a good one and this shapes up to be yet another high-scoring Canucks game. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

12-22-22 | Wild v. Sharks OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in San Jose Sharks vs Minnesota Wild @ 10:35 ET - The Wild are on a winning streak and getting great goaltending but this is a back to back spot for Minnesota and I expect goals in this one. Yes, Gustavsson has been playing well - just as Fleury has and did again last night - but the Sharks already beat Gustavsson and the Sharks earlier this season. Plus the Wild are scoring plenty of goals as they have scored 4 in each of last 4 games in current 6-game winning streak. In fact, the Wild have scored at least 4 goals in 9 of last 11 wins. They are favored here for a reason so look for a road team win and at least 4 goals but the key to the over is the Sharks here. At over 6, San Jose would be 18-6-1 to the over last 25 games. 14 of the Sharks last 16 home games have totaled at least 6 goals. This one should too and 7 or more is likely! 10* OVER 6 in San Jose |

12-21-22 | Lightning v. Red Wings OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 103 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Detroit Red Wings vs Tampa Bay Lightning @ 7:05 ET - The Lightning are off a loss and should bounce back here but are in a B2B spot. I would expect the Bolts to start Elliott here in goal since Vasilevskiy started last night's game. No matter who starts I like the over. I expect the Red Wings to score well on home ice in a divisional battle. Detroit beat them in a 4-2 win two weeks ago and now take another shot at the Lightning here. But Tampa Bay is off a 4-1 loss at Toronto last night and had been red hot winning big and then the Bolts lost to Maple Leafs. The Lightning had won 13 of 16 games and scored an average of 4 goals per game prior to that loss to the Leafs. Tampa Bay should score well here as Detroit, other than 1-0 loss to Carolina, allowed 4 goals per game in the other 5 games in their current 6-game winning streak. Looking at last 8 home games, one was the 1-0 loss to Hurricanes but the other 7 games averaged 7 goals apiece and this one should get there as well. At least 7 goals as Red Wings respond on home ice as they catch TB in 2nd game of B2B but Lightning also respond off a low-scoring loss. 10* OVER 6.5 in Detroit |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Vancouver Canucks vs St Louis Blues @ 10:35 ET - The Blues are off a 5-2 win over Calgary but allowed 43 shots on goal in that game. They were fortunate they only allowed 2 goals. I know they have not been allowing as many goals lately but St Louis is in trouble here and after allowing so many shots at goal like that against the Flames. The Canucks are off rare B2B efforts on home ice in which they struggled to score goals so the set up here is perfect to expect a lot of goals. Vancouver is fired up to get back on track on home ice. Problem for the Canucks is they can stop no one. That has been a big problem for the Blues this season too. St Louis allowing 4 goals per game on the season. Canucks allowing 4 goals per game last dozen games. 10* OVER 6 goals in Vancouver |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Arizona Coyotes vs Buffalo Sabres @ 9:05 ET - Great spot for an over here with Arizona off a high-scoring upset win over the Islanders last night plus Buffalo off a big win. The Sabres have actually won B2B games and by combined score of 10 to 2. Normally the Sabres give plenty of goals and there is no doubt they are scoring plenty of goals. That said, Arizona is going to get their goals at home too. They love playing at home in their current 5,000 seat arena but the Coyotes have had a road-heavy schedule so far this season. They will take advantage of home ice again in this one. The Sabres last 3 games have totaled 6 or less goals but this was after 16 of 21 games totaled at least 7 goals. Also, last 9 games have seen Buffalo average about 5 goals per game. The Sabres have allowed 3.3 goals per game last 9 games. The Coyotes last 5 games have averaged 8 goals per game. Arizona scores a ton on home ice but usually can not stop anyone. More of the same here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Arizona |

12-16-22 | Blues v. Flames OVER 6 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 104 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Calgary Flames vs St Louis Blues @ 9:05 ET - The Blues are in a B2B spot and off a 4-3 win in the shootout at Edmonton last night. St Louis had Binnington in goal last night. If he goes again this would be another back to back spot for him. Also, he has allowed at least 3 goals in 8 of last 9 games. In those 8 games he allowed an average of 4 goals per game. If he does not start due to back to back then it would be back-up Thomas Greiss and he has allowed at least 4 goals in each of his last 6 starts. In fact, in his 7 starts this season he is allowing 4 goals on average! So you can see why I am expecting the Flames to score plenty here on the Blues no matter what and, because Calgary is off 4 straight losses I know they will bring a big effort here. The issue for the Flames is they have given up at least 3 goals in 4 of last 5 games so you can see why I am expecting at least a 4-3 final here. Each team should get to at least 3 goals and that guarantees us at least a 4-3 final. Look for plenty of scoring in this one as the Blues have been piling up goals this season but also struggling to stop the opposition. 10* OVER 6 in Calgary |

12-15-22 | Ducks v. Canadiens OVER 6 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Montreal Canadiens vs Anaheim Ducks @ 7:05 ET - The Ducks have big time goaltending issues as Gibson got hurt and normal #2 Stolarz was already hurt and that means it is #3 option Dostal likely to be in goal for this one. We get line value here with a total of only 6 goals posted on this one because of the fact neither one of these teams is known for scoring a lot of goals. The key here is Montreal is in a B2B spot and off a loss and the Ducks are off a 7-0 loss and have major goalie issues right now. The Canadiens have allowed 3.5 goals last 6 games. The Ducks have allowed 4.4 goals last 10 games. Look for a 4-3 type game here as you can see why each team should get to at least 3 goals. 10* OVER 6 in Montreal |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Calgary Flames vs Vancouver Canucks @ 10:05 ET - The Canucks are off a 3-0 shutout loss versus Minnesota. Getting beaten at home and not scoring a goal, Vancouver will bounce back big here even though they are on the road. Trouble is they will not be able to stop the Flames though either. The Canucks have allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 7 games. Vancouver has scored an average of 4.4 goals per game last 5 games. Calgary is on a 3-game losing streak but those games were on the road. The Flames are a different team when at home. Calgary has scored an average of 4 goals per game last 8 home games! The Flames have allowed an average of 3 goals per game last 10 home games. This one, given the situation, simply has the look and feel of a game in which each team should score at least 3 goals and, of course, a game can not end 3-3 and I am looking for at least a 4-3 final here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Calgary |

12-13-22 | Kings v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-6 | Loss | -125 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs Los Angeles Kings @ 7:05 ET - The Sabres are off a 3-1 loss at Pittsburgh. Back home they will respond and score much better. Keep in mind, Buffalo's last 10 games before that one had seen 9 of them total at least 7 goals. Those 10 games averaged a crazy 9 goals apiece and we only need 7 to be a winner here. Speaking of crazy, LA is off a wild 6-5 loss in the shootout at Columbus. The last 10 Kings games have averaged 8 goals apiece. Given the high-scoring trending of each of these teams of late plus the fact that each team is hungry off a loss here, I am expecting plenty of goals in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |

12-13-22 | Blue Jackets v. Panthers OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:05 ET - The Blue Jackets are Bobrovsky's former team and he has struggled against them at times when he faced them. That included earlier this season in a 5-3 loss. In that game the Panthers fired nearly 50 shots on goal and will be ready to dominate again in that department here. Florida has seen 15 of last 22 games total at least 7 goals. The Blue Jackets have allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of last 5 games. Columbus has allowed 4.6 goals last 5 games. So with Panthers likely to continue giving up a pile of goals when facing the Blue Jackets but Columbus also having major troubles keeping the puck out of their own net, this one should get crazy. 10* OVER 6.5 in Florida |

12-12-22 | Predators v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in St Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators @ 8:05 ET - The Blues are off a tight 3-2 OT loss to the Avalanche yesterday. Binnington started in goal which means St Louis will likely go with Greiss here in the 2nd game of a B2B. He has allowed at least 4 goals in each of his last 5 starts and, on the season, has allowed an average of 4 goals per start. Greiss and the Blues have struggled to stop the opposition and it is a big reason they have struggled with losing streaks this season. The Predators will take advantage but, at the same time, I do expect the Blues to score plenty here. Nashville will likely outscore them so the thinking here is a 5-4 game likely but at least a 4-3 in my opinion and so we have value with the over 6.5 goals in this one. St Louis, prior to yesterday, has seen 11 of last 13 games total at least 7 goals! The Predators trend toward lower scoring games than the Blues but the Preds road games have trended higher scoring and you know they want push the pace here against a possibly tired St Louis team in the 2nd game of a B2B. The Predators are allowing 4 goals per game on the road this season! You can see why I am expecting that this one could possibly get to 4-4 at some point as Blues are allowing 4 goals per game on the season! A true wild barn-burner has distinct possibility here. 10* OVER 6.5 in St Louis |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Los Angeles Kings @ 6:05 ET - The Kings are off a 4-2 win at Montreal but, prior to that, allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 8 games. Los Angeles has shown the ability to score well too with an average of 4 goals scored last 9 games. I look for a non-conference barn-burner here with plenty of scoring as the Kings off a game that did not go over the total and the same holds true with Blue Jackets game totaling only 4 goals as they are off a 3-1 win over Flames. That is helping keep this total off the radar of most but I feel the recent trending of both of these clubs for high-scoring games will resume here. The Blue Jackets are allowing an average of 4 goals per game this season. Columbus has also been scoring better of late though too. The Jackets have averaged a respectable 3 goals per game last 14 games and I am looking for at least a 4-3 final in this game. When Columbus is off a win they have allowed an average of 4.5 goals in their next game. When Los Angeles is off a win the Kings have given up an average of 4 goals per game the last 5 times. That said, each team getting to at least 3 goals here is not a big ask given the situation. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs Minnesota Wild @ 10:05 ET - The Canucks and Wild have both been trending over in a big way. The Wild game barely snuck over the total yesterday courtesy of a late empty netter but one of the keys I like there is that Minnesota scored just two goals. I know the Wild are going to be hungry tonight in the 2nd night of a back to back and I know that the Canucks are going to respond to whatever is thrown at them because they continue to pile up goals too! Vancouver's problem, similar to Minnesota, is they so often struggle to stop the opposition. The Wild have now had 8 straight games total at least 7 goals. The Canucks have allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 17 games! However, Vancouver has won 8 of 11 games now thanks to huge production in the offensive zone. The Canucks have scored an average of 4 goals per game during this hot stretch. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Carolina Hurricanes Money Line -135 @ New York Islanders @ 7:35 ET - We get line value here because the Hurricanes are on the road. This is a great value spot because the Islanders just got the upset win over the divisional rival Devils last night in New Jersey. That was a big win for them and Varlamov was in goal. Now it will probably be Sorokin in goal and they have lost each of his last 3 starts by a combined score of 14 to 6. The Hurricanes are off a loss but that was way back on Tuesday and followed 4 straight wins. The Canes are a strong team and rested and hungry to bounce back off a loss. The final key here is Carolina did lose at home to the Islanders 6 to 2. Payback time here for one of the worst losses the Hurricanes have had this season. 10* CAROLINA -135 |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Anaheim Ducks vs San Jose Sharks @ 10:07 ET - These teams have met twice this season and both games were high-scoring shootouts that each went to a shootout as well! Anaheim won one 6-5 and the other 5-4. I love the value of getting the over 6 here as we should see plenty of scoring. The Sharks have lost 9 of 11 in part because they have allowed an average of 5 goals per game in those 9 losses. However, they do score well on the road generally speaking and I look for that trend to continue here. San Jose has scored an average of 3.3 goals per game last 10 road games. They will take advantage of facing an Anaheim team that continues to allow a ton of goals. The Ducks have given up 4 goals per game this season! But I do like them to score well here. Anaheim is on home ice and has scored at least 3 goals in 3 of last 4 at home. The Ducks have earned at least a point in 3 of last 5 games but continue to find ways to lose games and have allowed an average of 4.5 goals per game last 4 games. This looks like another wild one between these divisional rivals. 10* OVER 6 in Anaheim |

12-09-22 | Wild v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild @ 9:05 ET - Oilers off huge 8-2 win and, speaking of 8-2, Edmonton's last 10 games have seen 8 of them reach at least the 7 goal mark. The Oilers averaged scoring nearly 5 goals per game in the 6 wins but allowed 3 goals per game on average in those victories. Also, they allowed an average of 4 goals per game the 4 losses. As for Minnesota, just like Edmonton, their games have also trended toward high-scoring no matter who the goalies were. The Wild have allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 6 games. Gustavsson recently came back from upper body injury and allowed 4 goals so Fluery could get the start again but he has been the one allowing many goals of late so both options are concerning. This is particularly true when you consider the Oilers are hell-bent on going on a tear and the 8-2 win over the Coyotes could be a catalyst for a very confident group of attackers that also got Hyman back for that game. The Wild offense has also been dangerous and has averaged scoring 4 goals per game last 7 games but they also play into the teeth of revenge here as they defeated the Oilers 5-3 in Minnesota last week. So payback on order here but the Oilers struggle to stop teams so over absolutely looks solid for this one! 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

12-08-22 | Jets v. Blues OVER 6 | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in St Louis Blues vs Winnipeg Jets @ 8 ET - The Blues are expected to start Greiss again here. Though he won most recent start he allowed 4 goals and has now allowed at least 4 goals in each of his last 5 starts and the only one in 6 that he did not allow at least 4 he did allow 3 this season. He is just playing well and now gets a 2nd consecutive start but that is because no Blues netminder has stood out this season. That is why 10 of last 12 Blues games have totaled at least 7 goals. Now I am well aware Winnipeg is a solid defensive team but, matched up with wild and crazy St Louis here I just do not think that will matter. The Blues are out for revenge from a 4-0 loss to the Jets in prior meeting this season and now they get this one on home ice. Hellebuyck is a great goalie but when he does tend to get tripped up is when he is on the road. In fact he has a 3.48 GAA in road games this season. The Jets do enter this game having won 5 of 6 games and they scored an average of 5 goals in those 5 wins. Winnipeg is hot but the Blues are off a 7-4 win and this one should be a barn-burner. 10* OVER 6 in St Louis |

12-08-22 | Predators v. Lightning OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Tampa Bay Lightning vs Nashville Predators @ 7:07 ET - The Lightning are expected to go with goalie Brian Elliott for this one. He has a great record this season but constantly is involved in high-scoring games. We get line value here because the Predators are known for lower scoring games and that is helping to hold this total at a 6. The fact is that Elliott has been giving up goals in bunches. As for the Predators, they are off B2B wins and have averaged scoring 3.5 goals in regulation time of their last two games. Look for the Preds to enjoy success firing shots at little-used Elliott as Vasilevskiy gets a break tonight. As for the Lightning scorers, look for a big game as the Preds were allowing 4 goals per game last 9 road games before the 4-1 win in most recent road game. Also, TB is angry off a loss so I am expecting a big bounce back from them here. The Lightning had averaged 3.7 goals per game, not including OT/SO of course, before their 4-2 loss in most recent game. They will bounce back strong here. They are 3-0 last 3 times when off a loss and have averaged scoring 5 goals per game in those wins. But can't back them here with Elliott in goal. That means we should be looking at a solid over here. 10* OVER 6 in Tampa Bay |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Buffalo Sabres @ 7:35 ET - Columbus is in the 2nd game of a back to back. Though they were held to 1 goal on that loss at Pittsburgh last night, they had plenty of chances but Penguins goalie Jarry had a big game. That said, the Blue Jackets will push even harder tonight on home ice and given the recent penchant the Sabres have for high-scoring games, I feel we will see plenty of scoring in this one. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is expected to get the start for Buffalo and he has allowed 14 goals in his last 3 starts plus he allowed 4 goals in his only road start this season. He is only 23 years old and has limited NHL experience. So the Blue Jackets should bounce back here but I also look for the Sabres to have a huge game offensively. Buffalo has won 4 of 7 games and a big key has been offensive production as they have scored at least 4 goals in 6 of those 7 games. In fact, in those 6 games they averaged scoring 5.3 goals per game! The Blue Jackets will take advantage of the fact the Sabres have allowed 4.2 goals per game last 5 games. Of course none of these stats include OT or SO. Columbus has not been scoring well of late but facing Buffalo will help in that regard as they will find plenty of home ice and, even with the recent slump, they have averaged 3.1 goals per game last 9 games. Fully expect much more than just this but the point is that each team should get to 3 goals here given the above and that means we are looking at least a 4-3 final. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

12-06-22 | Blues v. Islanders OVER 6 | Top | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show |
10* OVER 6 in New York Islanders vs St Louis Blues @ 7:37 ET - Blues off 6-4 loss to the Rangers last night. So this is a back to back and Binnington has struggled badly in goal and was in the crease last night. That means Greiss is likely to be in net here and he has struggled as well. That is a big reason that St Louis has seen 9 of last 11 games total at least 7 goals. We get this posted total at only 6 goals because the Islanders have more of a lower-scoring reputation but you know St Louis is going to want to respond off last night's ugly loss but will struggle to stop the Islanders. The Isles have won 4 of last 5 home games and have averaged scoring 3.5 goals per game in those 4 wins. I look for them to get to at least 4 goals here given the Blues recent struggles in their own end and we should see, at the very least, a 4-3 final here. 10* OVER 6 in New York Islanders |

NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs Montreal Canadiens @ 10:35 ET - Sometimes the Canadiens do not score a whole lot but remember this is the Canucks we are talking about and that helps matters. Vancouver is constantly getting involved in high-scoring games and the Canadiens also have a goalie issue tonight the way I see it. If they go with Allen he'll struggle as he continues to have a very rough season. If they go with Montembeault, he could struggle too because of the rust factor. He has not played in about 10 days. These teams combined for 7 goals when they met in Montreal and the Habs had 5 of them in the 5-2 win. Canucks out for revenge here but they tend to give up a lot of goals. They are off a 3-2 OT win over Arizona but this is not the Coyotes they are facing tonight! Prior to that win, the Canucks had allowed an average of 4 goals per game last 15 games! 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

12-04-22 | Sharks v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs San Jose Sharks @ 7:05 ET - B2B spot for Sharks and they lost 5-2 at Ottawa last night. Now Aaron Dell will start in goal. He was solid in his first start last week but he had not been great at the AHL level this season and he struggled badly at all levels the past couple seasons. In other words, lets not put too much weight into one start and his overall level of play in recent years suggests he is likely to struggle here at Buffalo. The Sabres have seen 13 of last 17 games total at least 7 goals and the last 3 all totaled at least 9 goals! More of the same here as Sharks have allowed a pile of goals in their losses and they will be in trouble here in 2nd game of B2B against a Sabres team that scores well at home. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Sharks v. Senators OVER 6 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Ottawa Senators vs San Jose Sharks @ 7:07 ET - The Senators are in the 2nd game of a B2B and that means it will likely be Forsberg in goal for the Sens. He has not seen action in awhile and could be rusty plus has not played all that well this season. Looking for goals here. Ottawa has allowed at least 4 goals in 10 of last 12 defeats. The Senators had scored an average of 5 goals per victory in their first 7 wins this season before last two were 3-2 OT wins. Considering Forsberg is in goal here, win or lose, we should see plenty of goals in this one as you can see from the above trending in wins and losses. San Jose's has seen last two games trend under but this followed 13 of 15 totaling at least 6 goals and 12 of the 13 totaled at least 7 goals. 10* OVER 6 in Ottawa |

12-02-22 | Blue Jackets v. Jets OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Winnipeg Jets vs Columbus Blue Jackets @ 8:07 ET - The Blue Jackets facing the Jets at the right time to have a big game. But look for Winnipeg to respond. I look for Columbus to get the early jump on the Jets here as Winnipeg off that huge 5-0 win over Colorado. Getting a big win over the defending Stanley Cup Champs could leave them flat here. Columbus will have some early success here but then the Jets will respond and bounce back. That is how I see this one playing out. The result will be plenty of goals. Winnipeg, prior to the 5-0 win, saw their 4 prior games total 7 or more goals. The Jets allowed an average of 4 goals in those 4 games. Winnipeg enters this contest having scored 5 or more goals in 3 straight games. Columbus has surprisingly had 3 straight low-scoring games but this followed 8 of 9 totaling at least 7 goals and I am sure this one will too. 10* OVER 6.5 in Winnipeg |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Panthers v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs Florida Panthers @ 10:05 ET - The Panthers have seen 8 straight games total at least 7 goals and this is no fluke really as 13 of last 16 Florida games have totaled at least 7 goals. This is the perfect spot for another over because Vancouver is angry off a 5-1 loss and they had been on a high-scoring trend before this ugly defeat at the hands of the Capitals. The Canucks, prior to that one landing on 6, had seen 10 of last 13 games total at least 7 goals. Vancouver had scored an average of 4 goals per game last 6 games. The Panthers are off a 6-2 loss but had scored an average of 4 goals per game in their last 7 games prior to that. So the point is that plenty of goals can be expected here both teams have scored well but also had questionable goaltending and this has been a recurring pattern for each. Also, both teams off losses so we will see a little extra "push" from each side as well. The result should be a back and forth affair. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Oilers v. Blackhawks OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 20 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Chicago Blackhawks vs Edmonton Oilers @ 9:35 ET - There is reason to believe each team will allow at least 3 goals here and that translates to at least a 4-3 final. Neither team has been getting strong goaltending and I known Blackhawks are mired in a losing skid but, at home, they should be able to score some goals here! Chicago has allowed 5 goals per game last 7 games! Edmonton has seen 9 of last 13 games total at least 7 goals. They have allowed at least 3 goals in 11 of those 13 games. Keep in mind, the Oilers are about a 2 to 1 money line favorite here so a 2-goal win is considered expected here. So look for a 5-3 final is the point I am making. We have good odds on a game like that which means we have even better odds on seeing at least 7 here! 10* OVER 6.5 in Chicago |

11-28-22 | Golden Knights v. Blue Jackets OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 7:05 ET - The way I see this one playing out is that Vegas is going to be angry off B2B losses and will be aggressive and score plenty of goals. At the same time, Columbus will respond on home ice as they also are off B2B low-scoring losses. Here the Blue Jackets will take advantage of struggling goaltending as Vegas has seen both their goaltenders struggling recently. The Knights have allowed 3.5 goals per game last 12 games. They are favored big here on the road for a reason though. I am looking for at least a 4-3 type game here if not much more. The Jackets had seen 14 of 17 games total at least 7 goals before these last two have been low-scoring. With their game at Nashville cancelled over the weekend, they will be rested and ready plus will need to skate fast to keep up with this angry Vegas team here. Look for a great pace to this game and plenty of goals as a result of all of the above. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

11-27-22 | Canucks v. Sharks OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 goals in San Jose Sharks vs Vancouver Canucks @ 8:05 ET - The Canucks off a big 5-1 win yesterday but now in 2nd game of B2B spot. Martin was in goal last night and has been the better of the two goalies in Vancouver for some time now. Demko is struggling and has had a rough season and likely will get the call here. Canucks will build off scoring 5 goals yesterday and have scored at least 4 goals in 5 straight games but they will struggle to stop the Sharks here. San Jose off a 5-2 loss but had scored 4 or more goals in 4 of last 5 games. 11 of last 14 SJ games have totaled at least 7 goals as they have been scoring well but can not stop anyone either! Reimer and Kahkonen, for the most part, have each struggled badly this season. 10* OVER 6.5 in San Jose |

11-26-22 | Maple Leafs v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh Penguins vs Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7:05 ET - These teams meeting for 3rd time in 2 weeks. They do not like each other. We should see some aggressive play. Perhaps extra power plays as a result. Either way I like the over as this is a B2B for both clubs and they each scored 4 goals in yesterday's wins. The Penguins did not allow much in that one but now it will likely be DeSmith in the crease for this one and he was dealing with an upper body injury. Plus he has faced them in each of the last two meetings. Maple Leafs familiar with DeSmith and will take advantage of that here. However, Penguins have scored at least 4 goals in 6 of last 9 games and will be tough on Toronto. Kallgren expected to get the start here and this will be just his 2nd start in 2 weeks. He has not been as successful as Murray (played last night) or Samsonov (still out) so this is a spot likely to lead to plenty of goals. Both teams take advantage of the netminders they are facing and the Leafs have scored at least 4 in 2 of last 3 road games. 10* OVER 6.5 in Pittsburgh |

11-26-22 | Flames v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Carolina Hurricanes vs Calgary Flames @ 4:05 ET - I know the Hurricanes are stuck in a losing skid but now they are back home and many of the losses have been in OT. That was a tough Bruins team they faced in Boston and now they are back home and taking on Flames who are also in a B2B. Both teams likely to go to back-up goalies here due to the B2B and I expect both teams to be relentless on the attack. Why? Well the Canes scored 2 goals early yesterday but then nothing the rest of the way and it cost them in the eventual OT loss. As for the Flames they are off a shutout loss. Prior to B2B low-scoring losses, Calgary had won 4 of 5 and averaged 4.5 goals scored in the 4 victories so they know what they need to do here. Also, the Hurricanes will be pushing hard on home ice as they are desperate to get back in the win column. So here you have two desperate teams hungry for goals and the match-up features back-up goalies or the starters playing 2nd game of a B2B in net so either option generally good news for an over. 10* OVER 6 in Carolina |

11-25-22 | Jets +145 v. Stars | Top | 5-4 | Win | 145 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play Winnipeg Jets +145 @ Dallas Stars @ 8:35 ET - Rick Bowness is former coach of Dallas and now leading Winnipeg. He and the Jets beat them north of the border recently but earlier this season they met in Dallas and Bowness was out due to covid and the Stars won big. So for Bowness, this is first game back on the bench here in Dallas but on the other side and he and the Jets seeking revenge for the last visit here. I also like the fact Winnipeg is off a 6-1 loss and will be eager to respond here. This season, Jets are 4-0 when off a loss in which they failed to score more than 1 goal. The Stars are off a big comeback win but were just 3-4 in the 7 games leading into that one. They are giving up too many goals at times and went through a stretch where they had allowed 4 or more in 4 of 5 during this period. Jets, last game notwithstanding, have been better in their own end this season and I love the underdog price on them here. 10* WINNIPEG |

11-25-22 | Devils v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -128 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs New Jersey Devils @ 8:05 ET - The Devils are off a 2-1 loss in which they had 3 goals overturned on video review. That is virtually unheard of all in the same game for one team and, keep in mind, New Jersey entered that game having won 13 straight games and scoring an average of 4 goals per game in those wins. The Devils will be relentless tonight in terms of goal-scoring after the way that played out with all the overturned goals. At the same time, Buffalo is known for scoring well on home ice and they enter this game having scored at least 6 goals in B2B games, one home and one away. Sabres have scored an average of about 4.5 goals in their 9 wins and allowed about 4.5 goals in their 11 losses. You can see why I am expecting plenty of scoring in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Montreal Canadiens @ 7:05 ET - These teams just met here last week and the game totaled 10 goals. More of the same expected here. Montreal is off a 7-2 home loss to the Sabres yesterday. The Canadiens have allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of last 5. Also, 5 of last 6 Habs games have totaled at least 7 goals. As for the Blue Jackets, 14 of their last 17 games have totaled at least 7 goals. More of the same expected here as Habs in a b2b spot and want to respond after scoring just 2 goals but they have had trouble stopping anyone of late. Columbus allowing average of 5 goals in their 11 losses and Blue Jackets scoring average of 5 goals per game in their 7 wins. Great shot at an over here! 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET - I know Binnington has been playing very well for the Blues and he is likely to be in goal for St Louis tonight. However, this is still a tough road venue and Buffalo enters this game with a lot of confidence off last night's 7-2 win at Montreal. The trouble for the Sabres is because this is a back to back and that means, with Eric Comrie out with injury, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is likely to be in goal. He has very little NHL experience and has lost 11 of 14 starts and he gave up 4 goals in his only start this season! The fact he has to face the red hot Blues is a tough draw for Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen as St Louis has averaged scoring 4 goals per game during their red hot 7-game winning streak. As for the Sabres, Buffalo had allowed about 4 goals per game during the losing streak of 8 games that preceded last night's win Also, prior to the 8-game losing streak, the Sabres had a 3 game winning streak in which the games averaged 9 goals apiece. Last night's win for Buffalo, coincidentally, totaled 9 goals! Look for this one to get at least 7 as Sabres can be tough at home but Blues so red hot right now and should enjoy continued success against the #3 goalie for the Sabres. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |

11-22-22 | Rangers -102 v. Kings | Top | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
NY RANGERS -105 - Even if the Rangers start Halak here he only allowed 2 goals in most recent start. I do expect Shesterkin to start though because this is the front end of a B2B and is the perceived tougher game as it the Kings tonight and the Ducks tomorrow. That said, Shesterkin has been dominant but, again, if Halak goes I still like this play. The Rangers have underachieved a bit so far this season and the Kings have overachieved and the result of this is now line value with New York at a pick'em price against a Los Angeles team that, in my eyes, they have solid edges over. The Rangers have won 4 of last 6 road games and one of the two losses was in OT. The Kings are off B2B losses and have been held to 2 or less goals in 6 of last 10 games. The Rangers have scored an average of 3.7 goals last 6 road games and get the job done again here. 10* NY RANGERS -105 |

11-22-22 | Sabres v. Canadiens OVER 6.5 | Top | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
OVER 6.5 in Montreal - Canadiens 7 of 10 home games have totaled at least 7 goals. The Habs last 5 home games have averaged 8.2 goals apiece. Sabres have lost 8 straight games and are hungry to get back on track. Buffalo has allowed about 4 goals per game during the losing streak. Prior to that the Sabres had 3 game winning streak in which the games averaged 9 goals apiece. 3 of last 4 Buffalo road games have totaled at least 7 goals. The first meeting between these teams ended with just 5 goals but featured nearly 80 shots on goal. With both teams giving up a lot of goals recently, all those shots will translate to more goals this time around. 10* OVER 6.5 in Montreal |

11-21-22 | Golden Knights v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 102 | 14 h 13 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights @ 10:35 ET - Coming into the season my big concern with Vegas was the goaltending. They are a very solid team overall and well-coached now with Cassidy behind the bench. However, they are relying on Hill and Thompson in goal. Both of those guys are unproven in terms of long-term performance. They started the season quite well and still are fully capable of stepping up. Yet they each have been tripped up a bit recently and I look for that to continue here. It is a big part of the reason 6 of the last 8 games involving the Knights have totaled at least 7 goals and I feel positive this one will too. The Canucks have a knack for getting involving in high-scoring games. They got a rare strong goalie performance in most recent game for a 4-1 win but they entered that game on a run in which 7 of 8 games before that had totaled at least 7 goals. The Canucks, for the most part, have not been strong defensively or in goal. Saturday was a rare exception in goal and I don't expect Monday to be an exception with how fast this Vegas team plays and the fact they can create such high-quality scoring chances with their skill and work ethic under Cassidy. This one has the makings of a 4-3 type battle at the very least. I would say strong odds each club gets to at least 3 goals in this one given their recent level of play and considering all the factors noted above. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

11-21-22 | Flames v. Flyers +1.5 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -136 | 12 h 25 m | Show |
NHL Monday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Puck Line +1.5 goals -135 @ 7:05 ET - This one is simply all about the home dog line value. The Flyers are such a big home dog here that you can play them on the puck line here at a very reasonable price and I will not hesitate to get involved here. Yes, Philadelphia has been struggling but Calgary has not exactly been setting the world on fire either. This is particularly true in terms of big wins. Note that the Flames have to win by 2 or more goals to beat us here. Calgary has only 2 wins this entire season by more than 1 goal. One of those was the first game of the season too! So if you played +1.5 goals versus the Flames in their last 16 games you have gone 15-1 at the betting window! As for the Flyers, they have lost 11 of 18 games this season but 5 of those 11 losses by just a single goal. So if you played Philly at +1.5 goals in each game this season you have a tidy 12-6 record on the season. At home and off a tough shootout loss where they allowed the tying goal with just 2 seconds left in the game, the Flyers will be giving maximum effort here and they catch Calgary off a shootout win! Great set-up. 10* PHILADELPHIA +1.5 -135 |

NHL Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers @ 6:05 ET - With Merzlikins out and Korpisalo in goal yesterday for the Blue Jackets, it likely means that little-used Tarasov will get the start here. Columbus is a mess right now and can't stop anyone from scoring so this sets up as a very difficult match-up with the Panthers in town. Both teams in a B2B situation so Florida's goalie situation is tough too and they are off a 5-4 OT loss yesterday. As for the Jackets, 13 of their last 16 games have totaled at least 7 goals. With Knight in goal yesterday for Florida, it will likely be Bobrovsky here and he has struggled on the road in most of his starts away from this season. He faces a hungry Blue Jackets team after they got embarrassed by Detroit yesterday. That said, Columbus should get their fair share of goals here but they will not be able to stop the Panthers. Florida has seen 8 of their last 11 games total at least 7 goals. The Panthers can score well but they have issues in their own end of the ice defensively and in goal. 6 of last 8 Florida road games including 3 in a row have totaled at least 7 goals. This looks like another wild one. Tune in if you like to see the lamp lit early and often! 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +120 @ Montreal Canadiens @ 7:05 ET - The Canadiens and Flyers both are struggling but the key here is the goalie edge for the Flyers. It should be Carter Hart in goal for Philly and he has been great this season. As for the Habs, they continue to go with a heavy dose of Jake Allen and he has been struggling with consistently allowing 4 or more goals of late. If they go with Sam Montembeault instead, he had been playing quite well but then struggled in his most recent start and gave up a bushel of goals. With either Habs goalie likely to struggle and the win-starved Flyers (played some tough teams of late) likely to get a strong start from Hart, I love this spot for a road dog winner. 10* PHILADELPHIA +120 |

NHL Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Detroit Red Wings @ 7:05 ET - The Blue Jackets have seen 12 of last 15 games total at least 7 goals. Columbus can score plenty but struggles to stop anyone. Now here come the Red Wings flying high coming into town as Detroit just won 7-4 at San Jose Thursday! 5 of the Red Wings 8 road games have totaled at 7 goals and 3 of their last 4 games overall have totaled at least 7 games. Given the scheduling situation and the way the Blue Jackets have been trending, look for the Red Wings to score plenty but struggle to contain Columbus as Detroit just coming back from the west coast road trip too. That means we should see plenty of scoring here and yet another Blue Jackets game reaches the 7-goal mark. 10* OVER 6.5 in Columbus |

NHL Friday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Vancouver Canucks vs Los Angeles Kings @ 10:05 ET - This is a fantastic set-up as the Canucks are consistently involved in high-scoring games and they catch the Kings off a huge revenge win. Los Angeles just got a big playoff-revenge victory at Edmonton Wednesday and could be a little flat defensively after that one. Of course even if they give up some goals here at Vancouver, LA should be able to bounce back no problem and respond with big scoring of their own. Why? Because the Canucks are giving up piles of goals this season. Vancouver has allowed an average of 4 goals per game on the season! Also, the Canucks have scored an average of 4 goals per game last 10 games! Overall, 7 of last 8 Vancouver games have totaled at least 7 goals. As for the Kings, they are off a 3-1 win that played out like a playoff-type game because it was a rematch with the Oilers from the 7-game series back in May. However, prior to this, Los Angeles saw their last two games total at least 7 goals. Also, the game at Edmonton was just the 2nd low-scoring road game the Kings have had this season. Their other 8 road games averaged 8.4 goals per game. You can see why I am expecting plenty of scoring in this one Friday night. 10* OVER 6.5 in Vancouver |

NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in San Jose Sharks vs Detroit Red Wings @ 10:35 ET - Nice set up here with Sharks off the huge upset win over Golden Knights. I feel that sets this one up well for Detroit to get the early jump on San Jose but then the Sharks come roaring back on home ice. The Red Wings are off a 3-2 OT loss at Anaheim but, prior to this, 5 of their first 6 road games this season had totaled at least 6 goals. In fact, those 6 games averaged 7 goals per game! The Sharks last 7 home games all have totaled at least 6 goals! Overall, San Jose is in a high-scoring pattern right now as 9 of last 10 SJ games have totaled at least 6 goals. Those 10 games have averaged 7.6 goals and I am looking for a high-scoring match-up here given the situation and the road trending of the Red Wings and overall trending of the Sharks. 10* OVER 6 in San Jose |

11-17-22 | Capitals v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 14 m | Show |
NHL Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in St Louis Blues vs Washington Capitals @ 8:05 ET - The Blues are in the 2nd game of a B2B and won 5-2 last night. They had Jordan Binnington in goal which means he now either plays in a B2B or they turn to struggling back-up Thomas Greiss. Either option should translate to goals here as B2B spots are tough on a goalie and, if it is little-used Greiss, he has allowed 13 goals in 3 starts and could be rusty here too. The Blues still have their offensive production working their favor however as they have won 4 straight games and scored an average of 4 goals per game during this stretch as they are turning things around. Even though Washington has been impacted by injuries, they continue to get involved in higher-scoring games and have not been getting good goaltending. The Capitals last 5 games have averaged 7.4 goals apiece. The Caps scored 5 goals in each of the 2 wins but allowed an average of 5 goals in the 3 losses! Given all of the above and the scheduling situation for the Blues, you can see why I am expecting plenty of scoring in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in St Louis |

11-16-22 | Kings v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings @ 10:05 ET - This is a playoff rematch. Extra intensity means extra power plays here. These two teams do not like each other as that was a great 7-game battle these teams had back in May. The extra power plays here will translate to extra goals as both teams are struggling on the penalty kill this season and Edmonton has been great on the power play. I like the fact that Oilers have had only one low-scoring game on home ice this season (2-0 shutout loss to Blues) but their other 8 home games have averaged 8 goals per game! As for Los Angeles, these have not been the Kings of old that use to be involved in so many low-scoring grinders. Not at all! LA is off a 6-5 road loss at Calgary and their 9 road games this season have averaged totaling 8 goals per game. Given all of the above you can see why I am expecting at least 7 goals and truly a 5-3 or 5-4 type game would not surprise me in the least. 10* OVER 6.5 in Edmonton |

NHL Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Ottawa Senators vs Buffalo Sabres @ 7:05 ET - Two teams struggling and it is because they are giving up a lot of goals. That sets this one up to be a crazy match-up. The Senators have lost 8 of 9 games and allowed an average of 4 goals in the 8 defeats. Buffalo, whose situation is also complicated in goal because this is a B2B, has allowed nearly 5 goals per game during their 6-game losing streak! Eric Comrie has struggled and is likely to get the call tonight in goal because Craig Anderson started last night. 7 of the Sabres last 9 games have totaled at least 7 goals and these 9 games have averaged 8 goals apiece! 10* OVER 6.5 in Ottawa |

NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers -102 @ Columbus Blue Jackets @ 7:35 ET - The Flyers are a pick'em here against the Blue Jackets in Columbus even though they have lost 3 straight including a 5-2 loss at Columbus during this stretch. You know what that means, right? Do not fall for the trap line! Most might be surprised to see a pick'em here but Hart has been so strong between the pipes for the Flyers this season and should be guarding the cage again after Sandstrom got the start in Philly's most recent game. The Blue Jackets have gone 1-6 in last 7 games and the only win was over the Flyers. Payback time here against a struggling Columbus team. 10* PHILADELPHIA -102 |

11-15-22 | Canucks v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
NHL Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Buffalo Sabres vs Vancouver Canucks @ 7:05 ET - The Canucks seek revenge for a 5-1 home loss to the Sabres last month. However, Vancouver struggles in terms of allowing too many goals. The Canucks should score plenty here but again struggle to stop the opposition and Buffalo fully capable of getting their fair share of goals on home ice especially coming off a rare low-scoring loss. The Sabres off a 3-1 home loss but it was to a Bruins team that has played out as one of the best in the NHL this season. Prior to this, 6 of last 7 Sabres games had totaled at least 7 goals. In fact, Buffalo has allowed 4.1 goals per game last 10 games. However, prior to the loss to Boston, the Sabres had scored an average of 4.4 goals per game last 5 home games. As for the Canucks, they are off a 5-2 loss at Boston and that was the 6th time last 7 games that a Vancouver game has totaled at least 7 goals. Their last 7 games have averaged 8 goals per game and more of the same is expected here. 10* OVER 6.5 in Buffalo |
