02-19-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Flames -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on CAL. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 16-30-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected from an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. The Flames have won eight straight, and they have won by 2+ goals in six straight games. Calgary ranks 1st in the NHL in goals against, and they have one of the league's top penalty killing units. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-18-22 | Stars -145 v. Blackhawks | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Dallas. The Stars are one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, but they do have games in hand. Chicago has just three wins in their last 12 games overall, and they are closer to a top draft pick than they are to a playoff spot. The Stars are 5-0 in their last five road games, and they are 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite. The Blackhawks got blown out by Colombus last night, and they are just 2-8 in their last 10 games playing on back to back nights. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-12-22 | Islanders v. Flames -165 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Flames. The Flames are hot, and they host the Islanders playing on the back end of a back to back Saturday. The Isles are in Edmonton Friday, and they are 1-6 in their last seven when playing on back to back nights. The Flames have won five straight, five straight at home, and five of their last six head to head versus the Isles. Calgary ranks second in the NHL in goals against and owns the league's 3rd best penalty killing unit. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-11-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Ducks -145 | 4-3 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a free play on ANA. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 15-28-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected as an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. Seattle was roughly a 3-1 favorite in their last game, and they lost ourtright by a score of 5-2 versus Arizona. They are on the road tonight at Anaheim, and the Ducks are fighting for a playoff spot. Anaheim should be a bigger favorite versus Seattle, than the Kraken should be against Arizona (IMO). I'll take the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
02-02-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Islanders -160 | 3-0 | Loss | -160 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYI. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 14-27-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected as an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. The Islanders are 10-1 in their last 11 games as a favorite, and they catch the Kraken playing on back to back nights. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-29-22 | Jets v. Blues -170 | 4-1 | Loss | -170 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on STL. The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a home loss to Vancouver, and it's become crystal clear that this team is not going to be competitive this season. It was an ominous sign when their head coach abruptly resigned earlier this season. The Jets are 3-14 in their last 17 games as an underdog, and they are 3-7 in their last 10 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. The Blues are 14-2 in their last 16 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-24-22 | Blues v. Flames -135 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 19 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a free play on CAL. Calgary is eight points out of first place in the Pacific Division, but they have five games in hand on the 1st place Vegas Golden Knights. The Blues are coming off a 3-1 win in Vancouver last night, and they catch the Flames on the back end of a back to back. Ville Husso got the start last night, which could be an indication that Jordan Binnington will be in the net tonight in Calgary. Binnington has been lit up in his last four starts, allowing a total of 16 goals. The Blues are just 4-8 in their last 12 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Blackhawks -104 v. Seattle Kraken | 2-3 | Loss | -104 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chicago. The Hawks have won four straight, keeping their playoff hopes alive. The Kraken on the other hand have lost nine straight, and trade rumors are buzzing about their veteran talent. The Kraken rank 31st in the NHL in goals against, while Chicago is riding a hot goalie. Marc Andre Fleury has won eight of his last 10 starts. This game appears to be a mismatch, but that isn't reflected in the betting line. I'll take the visitors. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Canadiens v. Blackhawks -185 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 28 m | Show | |
5* |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -183 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 24 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Dallas. I've been fading the Kraken for the majority of the season, and here in Big D they face a team fighting for a playoff spot. The last place Kraken have lost nine of their last 10 overall, and they are 4-9-1 overall on the road. Seattle ranks 30th in the NHL in goal against, allowing 3.68 goals per game. The Stars are 10-3 in their last 13 games as a favorite, and they are 19-7 in their last 26 home games. Dallas could easily be a 3-1 favorite here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Red Wings v. Sharks -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Sharks. The Sharks went 2-2 on a four game road trip, with one of the losses coming at Detroit. They host the Red Wings tonight, and they look good at home in a revenge game. The Red Wings are just 4-11-2 on the road, and they coming off back to back losses at LA and Anaheim. The Red Wings are 13-62 in their last 75 games as a road underdog, and they are 6-14 in the last 20 meetings in San Jose. The Sharks have won four in a row as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Blackhawks v. Golden Knights OVER 6 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Vegas Golden Knights have battled their way into first place in the Pacific Division, and they will be a heavy favorite at home versus Chicago Saturday night. The Blackhawks are coming off an ugly 6-4 loss to the Arizona Coyotes, and they have lost six straight overall, They have gone over the total in five straight, and the over is 7-0 in the Blackhawks last seven games as an underdog. The over is 18-8-2 in the Golden Knights last 28 overall, and they have gone over in six of their last eight versus Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Predators v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -121 | 20 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Nashville Predators will be in Sin City Tuesday, and they bring one of the top power play units in the NHL. Nashville is coming off a 6-1 win over Chicago, and they scored twice on the power play in that game. They are converting on over 26 percent of their power play chances this season. That's bad news for Knights netminder Laurent Brossoit who owns a save percentage of just .900 (40th in a league of 32 teams). The over is 18-7-1 in the Golden Knights last 26 overall, and they have gone over in five of their last six home games. The over is 4-1 in the last five head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Flames -145 v. Blackhawks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 19 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Calgary. The Flames have had eight games postponed due to to Covid, and now they are in a great spot to win the Pacific Division. They sit six points out of first place, but they have the highest win percentage and several games in hand. With all their big guns back in the lineup, they will have a huge advantage when they get back on the ice. The situation is not so optimistic for Chicago, who sit 17 points back of first place St. Louis in the Central Division. Chicago has won 11 games, and Marc Andre Fleury was in the net for all but two of those wins. With Fleury on the Covid list, the Hawks options in the net are not great. The Flames are 8-2 in their last 10 versus the Hawks, and they have won four straight in Chicago. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
01-01-22 | Canucks -108 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Vancouver. The Canucks are back to .500 after winning six of seven under Bruce Boudreau. The only loss came in overtime at LA, and they will look to get back in the winners column tonight at Seattle. The last place Kraken have lost seven of their last eight overall, and six straight at home. Seattle ranks 31st in the NHL in goal against, allowing 3.63 goals per game. The Canucks are riding a hot goalie, as Thatcher Demko was 7-1 with a 1.72 GAA in December. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-31-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -184 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Vegas. The Ducks are just 1 point behind first place Las Vegas in the Pacific Division, but it would be a mistake to think these teams are close. The Knights had to survive an extended streak without forwards Marc Stone, Max Pacioretty and William Karlson. Now that they are back, Vegas has won nine of their last 11 games. History certainly favors Vegas here, as the Ducks are 4-18 in the last 22 meetings. They have lost eight of their last nine at Vegas. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-30-21 | Flames -140 v. Seattle Kraken | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CAL. The Flames have had eight games postponed due to to Covid, and now they are in a great spot to win the Pacific Division. They sit six points out of first place, but they have the highest win percentage and several games in hand. With all their big guns back in the lineup, they will have a huge advantage when they get back on the ice. The Kraken lost last night at home versus Philly, and they have lost six of their last seven overall and five straight at home. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-19-21 | Blues v. Jets -125 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG. The Jets came into the season as a serious Stanley Cup contender, but they have had a rather lackluster start. Despite a winning record, head coach Paul Maurice announced his resignation. Dave Lowry will take over, and this will be his first game as the new head coach. We have already seen what kind of an impact a new coach can have, with the Canucks winning six straight since Bruce Boudreau took over. The Blues have lost six of their last seven road games, and they can't be too thrilled to be on a three game road trip north of the border that doesn't see them return home until Christmas Eve. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-18-21 | Oilers -120 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on EDM. I had this to say about the Kraken a few days ago: "The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did." They have lost four of their last five, and they host an Edmonton team that just snapped a six game losing streak. The Oilers NEED to follow up a 5-2 win over CBJ with another win over an inferior opponent. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-16-21 | Kings v. Panthers -142 | 4-1 | Loss | -142 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on FLA. The Panthers are coming off a home loss to Ottawa, just their second home loss of the season. They are 14-2 at home, and starting goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is 9-0 with a 2.40 GAA on home ice. The Kings are expected to go with their backup goaltender, and Cal Peterson is 1-3-1 with a 3.58 GAA on the road. The Kings are 4-9 in their last 13 overall, and they are 7-16 in their last 23 games as an underdog. The Panthers are 5-0 in their last five games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Ducks -150 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ANA. I had this to say about the Kraken last night: "The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did. The Kraken have lost three straight, and they rank 30th in the league in goals against. For some reason they are just a small underdog here on the road in San Jose." I am going to double down with the "fade the Kraken" strategy here with the last place team playing on back to back nights versus the first place Ducks. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-15-21 | Capitals v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CHI. The Blackhawks will be a home dog versus Washington tonight, and the Caps have seen four of their last six games decided by one goal. The Blackhawks are 3-3 in their last six overall, and four of those games were decided by one goal. The home team is 12-4 in the last 16 head to head meetings. Marc Andre Fleury is coming off a 30 save shutout, and he's won three of his last four starts. One of those was a 4-3 OT win over the Capitals. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-14-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks -140 | 3-1 | Loss | -140 | 47 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SJS. The Sharks are six points out of first place in the Pacific Division, and 10 points clear of last place Seattle. The betting public appears to be supporting Seattle's expansion team, perhaps due to the success of the Vegas Golden Knights just a few seasons ago. Such success for an expansion team is certainly not the norm, and I believe it's naive to think Seattle can do what Las Vegas did. The Kraken have lost three straight, and they rank 30th in the league in goals against. For some reason they are just a small underdog here on the road in San Jose. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Bruins v. Flames -132 | 4-2 | Loss | -132 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Calgary. The Boston Bruins are coming off back to back road games, both decided by just one goal. They lost in a shootout in Vancouver, and then won 3-2 at Edmonton. Playing their third straight road game in Calgary is a tough spot, and I don't like their chances of winning both games in Alberta. The first place Flames are looking to snap a three game losing skid. The Bruins are 1-6 in their last seven games as an underdog, and they have lost four straight when coming off a win. The Flames are 37-16 in their last 53 versus teams from the Eastern Conference. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Hurricanes v. Oilers -122 | 3-1 | Loss | -122 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Edmonton. The Oilers have lost four straight, but a home game on Hockey Night in Canada figures to be a great spot to snap out of this losing skid. The Oilers are 9-4 in their last 13 games as a home favorite. Carolina has won three straight, coming off games at Winnipeg and Calgary. I don't expect them to to win back to back games in the Province of Alberta. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-21 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 21 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CBJ. The Blue Jackets have lost six of their last seven overall, and they are coming off a 2-1 home loss to the Ducks. They will be a big underdog at Seattle, despite the fact that they have 13 wins while Seattle is just 9-15-2. Three of the Jackets last four losses have come in games decided by just one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-10-21 | Flyers v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Golden Knights are a team to keep an eye on. They have had a slow start by their standards, but that can be explained by the injuries they have dealt with. Marc Stone has missed a dozen games, Max Pacioretty has missed 17 games, and William Karlsson has missed 16 games. They are all back, and playing well, and the Knights look like a team primed to go on a run. Starting goaltender Robin Lehner has allowed 15 goals in his last five appearances, and was pulled from his last start after allowing three goals on 10 shots. He ranks 35th in the NHL with a GAA of 3.11. The over is 11-4-1 in the Golden Knights last 16 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-09-21 | Jets v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | 3-0 | Loss | -103 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Jets have given up 11 goals while winning two of their last three games, and they have one of the league's worst penalty killing units. The Kraken rank 29th in the NHL in goals against, but they have scored 19 goals in their last five games. The over is 8-1 in the Kraken last nine home games, and the over is 15-5-2 in the Kraken last 22 overall. Seattle's starting goaltender Phillip Grubauer was pulled after allowing three goals on four shots in just five minutes in his last start. He's allowed a dozen goals in his last four starts. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Stars v. Golden Knights -135 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VGK. Vegas has had a pretty slow start to the season, but perhaps that's understandable when you consider the injuries that they have had. Marc Stone has missed a dozen games, Max Pacioretty has missed 17 games, and William Karlsson has missed 16 games. They are all back, and playing well, and the Knights look like a team primed to go on a run. The Stars are 6-13 in their last 19 games as a road underdog, and the Golden Knights are 50-21 in their last 71 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Oilers -125 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Edmonton. The Kraken return home from a successful road trip, earning points in three of four games. They are 4-1-1 in their last six overall, but I can't help but think they have become a little overvalued. As exciting as it was to see the Vegas Golden Knights become one of the league's best teams in their first season, that's absolutely not what we normally see for an expansion team. Even after playing over their heads for the last week, Seattle is still tied for last place in the Pacific Division. Tonight they host the Oilers who are a point out of first in the Division. The Oilers own the league's #1 power play, and they are 16-5 in their last 21 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Blues v. Lightning -135 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa. The Lightning are coming off back to back losses, and they face the Blues in a revenge spot after losing at St. Louis a few days ago. The Blues are 3-7 in their last 10 games as a road underdog, and they are 1-6 in their last seven games following a win. The Lightning are 5-1 in their last six in the second game of a home-and-home situation, and they are 37-15 in their last 52 home games. I'll take the home team in this revenge spot. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Red Wings OVER 5.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. I bet the over in Seattle's last game. Here is what I said before they played Buffalo: "The Kraken have failed to reach the total in three straight, after going over the number in each of their previous nine games. They will be a favorite on the road in Buffalo, and the Sabres actually have a winning record on home ice. The Kraken have gone over the total in 10 straight against teams with a losing record. They have gone over in six straight as a favorite, and they have lost seven of their last eight road games. We should see a high score in Buffalo." Playing their second game of a back to back, we could see the Wings turn to their backup netminder. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres OVER 5.5 | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Kraken have failed to reach the total in three straight, after going over the number in each of their previous nine games. They will be a favorite on the road in Buffalo, and the Sabres actually have a winning record on home ice. The Kraken have gone over the total in 10 straight against teams with a losing record. They have gone over in six straight as a favorite, and they have lost seven of their last eight road games. We should see a high score in Buffalo. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Sabres v. Red Wings -175 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Detroit. The Red Wing have lost four of their last five overall, but they are coming off a 4-2 home win over the Blues. They have won four of their last five on home ice, and they host the Sabres who will be playing on back to back nights. The Sabres are 13-45 in their last 58 games as a road underdog, and they are 16-43 in their last 59 overall. This is a good spot to back the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Lightning -172 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB. The Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they have been the best team in the NHL for roughly a decade. Tonight they host an expansion team that is looking for just it's second road win (ever). Seattle has lost seven of eight on the road, but the Kraken are coming off back to back home wins over Carolina and Washington. They should be a 3-1 underdog here on the road in a game that is as big a mismatch as we see in the NHL, and the fact that they aren't is likely a result of recency bias. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hurricanes v. Seattle Kraken OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -116 | 27 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Kraken have now gone over the total in nine straight games. Here is what I said prior to their last games: "Washington won 4-0 last night in San Jose, and they play their second game of a back to back tonight in Seattle. The Capitals are averaging almost 3.5 goals per game, and they face a Kraken team that is dead last in the league in goals against. The Kraken have lost eight of their last nine overall, and they have gone over the total in eight straight. The bookmakers aren't giving us any reason not to back those trends here tonight." Another total of 5.5 when it should be at least 6.0. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Senators v. Avalanche -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Colorado. The Avs are still favored to win the Stanley Cup, but they didn't get off to a great start. They come into tonight's home game against Ottawa as winners of four in a row, and all four of those wins came by 2+ goals. The Senators were forced to cancel their last three gamed due to a covid outbreak, and this will be their first game in over a week. They were not exactly lighting it up before that, losing seven of their last eight games. Five of those seven losses came in games decided by two or more goals. This looks like a blowout waiting to happen. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Capitals v. Seattle Kraken OVER 5.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Washington won 4-0 last night in San Jose, and they play their second game of a back to back tonight in Seattle. The Capitals are averaging almost 3.5 goals per game, and they face a Kraken team that is dead last in the league in goals against. The Kraken have lost eight of their last nine overall, and they have gone over the total in eight straight. The bookmakers aren't giving us any reason not to back those trends here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-20-21 | Hurricanes v. Kings UNDER 5.5 | 5-4 | Loss | -114 | 15 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Carolina Hurricanes rank first in the NHL in goals against, allowing just 1.87 goals per game. They will be in LA for an afternoon game Saturday, and the Kings rank 3rd in the league in goals against, allowing just 2.25 goals per game. These two defensive powerhouses certainly have a history of playing low scoring games. The under is 10-3-2 in the last 15 head to head meetings, and they have gone under in seven straight in LA. The under is 13-3 in the Kings last 16 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Avalanche -150 v. Seattle Kraken | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado. The Avs are off to a slow start, considering they are the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They are a favorite on the road at Seattle Friday, but this line should be much higher. Colorado could be a 2-1 favorite against an expansion team that has lost seven of it's last eight overall. The Kraken have struggled as you would expect, ranking near the bottom of the league in goals against, as well as on special teams. Bettors continue to back Seattle, perhaps looking for the same magic we saw when the Golden Knights came into the league a few years ago. Early success for expansion teams is the exception rather than the norm. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Oilers | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG. The Jets are coming off a 5-2 home win over the Oilers, and they will play the second game of this home and home set tonight in Winnipeg. The Oilers are one of the hottest teams in the NHL, sitting a point out of first place in the Pacific Division and owning the league's #1 power play unit. The Jets seem to have their number though, winning five straight in this series. Three of the last four meetings have gone to overtime. I expect another close game here in Edmonton. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-17-21 | Blackhawks +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chicago. The Hawks have won three straight, while Seattle has lost four in a row. The Kraken are really struggling with special teams, with the league's worst powerplay and a below average penalty kill. The only reason I can think why Seattle is a favorite, would be that bettors are chasing the magic that they witnessed when the Golden Knights exploded on the scene as an expansion team. The reality is that such early success is the exception, rather than the rule. Marc Andre Fleury has been brilliant in his last two starts, and Patrick Kane has a goal and five assists in his last five games played. These two teams are trending in opposite directions. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-12-21 | Capitals v. Blue Jackets OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming into Friday's game against Washington off three straight wins, and all of those games went over the total. The over is 12-4 in Blue Jackets last 16 home games, and the over is 9-3 in their last 12 games a home underdog. The Capitals are still one of the highest scoring teams in the NHL, averaging well over three goals per game. The Blue Jackets aren't far behind, and they have won four of their last five versus the Caps. Expect both teams to fill the net tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-11-21 | Ducks +1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on ANA. The Ducks will be a big underdog on the road versus the expansion team Seattle Kraken, despite the fact that Anaheim has won five straight overall. The Ducks have the better goaltender in Jon Gibson, who is 6-2-2 with a 2.35 GAA so far. The Ducks are 12-2 ATS this season, covering the puckline in five of their six road games. The Kraken are really struggling with special teams, with the league's worst powerplay and a below average penalty kill. The only reason I can think why Seattle is a favorite, would be that bettors are chasing the magic that they witnessed when the Golden Knights exploded on the scene as an expansion team. The reality is that such early success is the exception, rather than the rule. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-08-21 | Sabres v. Capitals OVER 5.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Sabres have shown signs of improvement so far, despite losing four straight. The most notable improvement is on the powerplay, converting on 28 percent of their man advantage opportunities. Buffalo has gone over the total in five of their last six overall, and the over is 5-1 in their last six meetings versus the Capitals. These two teams have gone over the total in five of the last six meetings at Washington. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-07-21 | Predators v. Blackhawks OVER 5.5 | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Here is what I said prior to Chicago's game against Carolina: "The Hurricanes already beat Chicago 6-3 last week, and we might expect another high score in Chicago tonight. No team has scored more goals than Carolina so far this season, and the Canes powerplay is ranked 3rd in the NHL converting at better than 28 percent. The Hawks also have a decent powerplay, tied for 5th in the league converting on better than 26 percent of their chances. The over is 17-8-3 in the Hurricanes last 28 games as a road favorite, and they have gone over in four of their last five versus Chicago. The over is 9-3 in the Blackhawks last 12 games a home underdog, Patrick Kane scored a hat trick and added an assist in his first game back after missing almost two weeks due to Covid protocols. The Hawks offense should be far better with Kane in the lineup." I like another high scoring game here againstg a Predators team that also has a strong powerplay. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-06-21 | Red Wings v. Sabres OVER 5.5 | 4-3 | Win | 102 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Red Wings will try to snap a four game losing streak in Buffalo tonight, and the Sabres have lost three straight. History tells us we can expect a high scoring affair, as these teams have gone over in four of the last six meetings. The Red Wings rank 29th in the NHL in goals against, allowing an average of over 3.5 goals per game. The over is 6-2 in Red Wings last eight road games, and they have gone over in six straight when coming off a loss by three or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-05-21 | Blackhawks v. Jets OVER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The over is 9-3 in the Blackhawks last 12 games a home underdog, Patrick Kane scored a hat trick and added an assist in his first game back after missing almost two weeks due to Covid protocols. The Hawks offense should be far better with Kane in the lineup. The Jets come in with one of the league's best power play units, however they rank at the bottom of the league on the penalty kill. Special teams could play a big role here, allowing both teams to score their share of goals. The over is 12-5-2 in Blackhawks last 19 overall, and the Jets have gone over in seven of their last eight home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-04-21 | Golden Knights v. Senators OVER 5.5 | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Senators rank 26th in the NHL allowing 3.3 goals per game, but they are 7-3 in their last 10 home games. They host the Golden Knights who are tied with the Senators in goals against, and they are coming off a 4-0 loss to the Leafs. The Knights are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. These two teams have met six times previously, going over the total in five of those six games. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-01-21 | Capitals v. Lightning -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB. The defending champs lost four of their first six games of the season, call it a Stanley Cup hangover. They have since won back to back games by a combined score of 10-2. We get a good price to back the Bolts at home versus Washington here tonight, and the Caps have yet to lose in regulation. The Lightning are 52-22 in their last 74 home games. The Capitals have lost five of their last six as an underdog. This looks like a great spot to go against the Caps. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-28-21 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -125 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Carolina. The undefeated Carolina Hurricanes will host the Boston Bruins tonight, and this is a tough spot for Boston on the road in the second game of a back to back. Linus Ullmark allowed four goals on 26 shots while suffering his first loss of the season at Florida last night. He could get a break here tonight, allowing Jeremy Swayman to make his third start of the season. He was lit up in a loss to Philly in his last start, allowing five goals on 24 shots. The Bruins are 1-5 in their last six games as an underdog, and the Hurricanes are 11-4 in their last 15 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Maple Leafs v. Hurricanes OVER 6 | 1-4 | Loss | -114 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. The Leafs are coming off a 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh, and we expect to see plenty of scoring here in Carolina Monday night. The Canes are averaging 4.5 goals per game so far, and their power play is clicking at 37.5% which is the 3rd best in the NHL. History shows us that these teams have a history of playing high scoring games, with the total going over in six of the last eight head to head meetings. Both these teams averaged well over three goals per game last year, and Carolina had the second best power play unit in the league. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-24-21 | Predators v. Wild -155 | 5-2 | Loss | -155 | 21 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Minnesota. Both these teams are playing their second game of a back to back, but Minnesota is coming off a home win over Anaheim, while Nashville played north of the border in Winnipeg. The international travel would put the Predators at a significant disadvantage here in an already tough road game. The Predators are 1-6 in their last seven overall, and they are 0-6 in their last six games as a road underdog. The Wild are 22-6 in their last 28 home games, and they have won four of their last five coming off a win. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-23-21 | Panthers v. Flyers +1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -195 | 21 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Philly. The Flyers are off to a 2-1 start, with their one loss coming in a game decided by one goal. They will be a home dog tonight against Florida, and the history between these teams suggests Philly could easily win this game outright. The Panthers are 1-6 in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia, and their one win came by one goal. The home team is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Predators v. Jets -125 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Jets. After losing three straight to start the season, the Jets won big at home versus the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 5-1 in their last game. I expect the positive momentum to carry over here as they host Nashville. The Predators also come in with a record of 1-3, but they are coming off a home loss to the New York Rangers. The Predators are 0-5 in their last five games as a road underdog, and the Jets are 5-1 in their last six games following a win. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-23-21 | Hurricanes v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -180 | 20 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on CBJ. The Blue Jackets are 3-1 to start the season, and they will be an underdog at home to Carolina tonight. The history between these teams tell us that we can expect a close game, and the Blue Jackets could easily win outright. Four of the last five meetings between these teams have required overtime to decide a winner. This could be a let down spot for the Panthers who are 4-0 on the season with wins over Tampa (defending champs) and Colorado (current Stanley Cup favorites). GL, Jesse Schule |

10-22-21 | Oilers v. Golden Knights -130 | 5-3 | Loss | -130 | 24 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VGK. The Oilers are off to a perfect 4-0 start, but they are due for a let down here on the road in the second game of a back to back. They face a hungry Vegas team that is coming off back to back losses. The Golden Knights are 43-17 in their last 60 home games, and they are 4-1 in their last five home games against the Oilers. Edmonton's starting netminder Mike Smith is on the IR, and that puts pressure on Mikko Koskinen who will likely get the call for the second night in a row. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-21-21 | Ducks v. Jets -175 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Jets. The Ducks have started the season hot, while the Jets have been ice cold. This is exactly the opposite of what was projected for these two teams. The Ducks finished dead last in the West Division last year, and they didn't really make any significant roster moves. This looks like a tough spot for an overachieving Anaheim squad. The Ducks are 15-36 in their last 51 games as an underdog, and they are 0-5 in their last five games in Winnipeg. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-19-21 | Sharks v. Canadiens -145 | 5-0 | Loss | -145 | 17 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. The Habs went all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals last year, but they are 0-3 to start the season. A home game against the San Jose Sharks should give them a chance to get back on track. This will be the Sharks first game since announcing a 29 game suspension for Evander Kane. The Sharks have lost six straight on the road, and they are 4-14 in their last 18 overall. The home team is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Ducks v. Flames -183 | 3-2 | Loss | -183 | 30 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Calgary. The Ducks are 1-1 after playing their first two games of rthe season at home, now they head out on the road where they will play Calgary on Monday. Anaheim finished dead last in the West last year, and this is basically the same group of players. The Ducks are 1-4 in the last five meetings in Calgary, and the home team is 59-21 in the last 80 meetings. The price isn't cheap, but this is a good spot to back the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-16-21 | Jets -123 v. Sharks | 3-4 | Loss | -123 | 32 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on WPG. The Jets lost their season opener on the road at The Duck Pond, and they will be a favorite tonight at the Shark Tank. Having already played a game could be an advantage here against the Sharks in their season opener. The Jets are 7-3 in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest, and they are 4-0 in the last four meetings in San Jose. The Sharks are 17-35 in their last 52 games as an underdog, and they are 3-14 in their last 17 overall. They have lost four of their last five home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-16-21 | Rangers v. Canadiens -106 | 3-1 | Loss | -106 | 29 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MTL. The Habs turned in an impressive effort in a 2-1 loss at Toronto to start the season, but their second game at Buffalo was not as competitive. It's still early in the season, but the Habs should be desperate to avoid a third straight loss when they take on New York tonight. The Rangers are 8-17 in the last 25 meetings in Montreal. The Canadiens are 6-2 in their last eight home games, and they are 10-4 in their last 14 games playing on 1 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Senators v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 109 | 29 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Leafs looked pretty good in a 2-1 win over Montreal in their season opener, and they will be a big favorite at home versus Ottawa tonight. The Sens have given Toronto trouble in recent meetings, but they are 1-6 in the last seven meetings in Toronto. The Senators are 20-60 in their last 80 road games, and they are 20-59 in their last 79 games as a road underdog. Toronto lost to Ottawa in the second game of a back to back coming off their win over Montreal, but the Senators are 18-38 in their last 56 games following a win. You gotta love the Leafs to win big in this revenge spot. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-14-21 | Canadiens -130 v. Sabres | 1-5 | Loss | -130 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MTL. The Habs lost last night in Toronto, but they turned in an incredible effort. They came out flying, scoring the game's first goal. They had a slight edge in shots on goal, and they had a 34-12 edge in total hits. Normally playing the second game of a back to back is a disadvantage, but this early in the season it's not a bad thing to have a game under their belt. They will face a Sabres team that might be the worst in the NHL. The Sabres are 8-20 in their last 28 home games, and they are 7-20 in their last 27 games as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-13-21 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -170 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Maple Leafs are under a microscope this season, and nothing less than a Stanley Cup will satisfy their fan base, the media and the organization. They looked like a legitimate contender last year, but an early exit from the playoffs at the hands of rivals Montreal was a bitter pill to swallow. They have an opportunity to exorcise their demons here in a massive revenge game in their season opener. This won't be the same Montreal team that they faced in the playoffs. Carey Price and Shea Weber won't be in the lineup when the Habs take the ice in Toronto. These teams met three times in the pre-season, and the Leafs won two of those three games. The favorite is 26-12 in the last 38 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-07-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 44 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. After watching the first three games of this series, it seems pretty clear that Tampa is the better team. Then again, they probably said that about the San Jose Sharks when they had a 3-0 series lead versus LA in the first round in 2014. The Kings went on to beat the Sharks and win the Stanley Cup that year. While that was the last time we saw a team come back from a 3-0 series deficit, you have to go even further back to find the last time a team was swept in the Stanley Cup Finals. The last team to win 4-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals was Detroit in 1998. I'm not ready to call for another epic comeback, but I do think that the Habs are more than capable of extending this series and forcing it back to Montreal for Game 6. GL, Jesse Schule |

07-02-21 | Lightning v. Canadiens +119 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. The Habs were outscored 8-2 in the first two games of this series, but it hasn't been as one-sided as it seems. They dominated Game 2, especially in the second period. One mistake with two seconds left on the clock resulted in Tampa scoring the game winning goal with 0.3 seconds left in the period. They had a 43-23 advantage in shots on goal, but at the end of the day Andrei Vasilevsky was better than Carey Price. If Montreal plays the way they did in Game 2, they will be hard to beat on home ice. It feels like all the luck has been with the lightning in the first two games, but if things start bouncing in favor of Montreal this series could change in a hurry. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-30-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | 1-3 | Loss | -155 | 43 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Montreal. So the Habs were blown out by a score of 5-1 in Game 1, so what does that tell us about this series moving forward? I don't think it tells us a damn thing. Montreal lost Game 1 of their series versus Vegas by a score of 4-1, and they went on to dominate the remainder of the series. They lost three of the first four games against Toronto, and then won three straight to erase a 3-1 series deficit. I still think this team has a lot of fight left, and I expect them to come out a lot stronger in Game 2. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | 1-5 | Loss | -160 | 49 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5*play on Montreal +1.5. The Tampa Bay Lightning will be a big favorite in the Stanley Cup Finals, and there is a damn good reason for that. They have been the best team in the NHL for almost a decade. They won the Stanley Cup in 2020, and the President's Trophy in 2019. That being said they were on the wrong side of one of the biggest upsets in NHL history when they were swept in the first round by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2019. They just barely escaped with a 1-0 win in Game 7 against the New York Islanders, and it's not going to get any easier against an even tougher Montreal team. With perhaps the best top four defense in hockey, and the world's best goaltender, Montreal is in prime position to pull off an upset. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-25-21 | Islanders v. Lightning -160 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 30 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on the TB Lightning. The Lightning had a 2-0 lead in an elimination game in New York in Game 6, but the Islanders battled back to force a Game 7. Tampa hasn't lost back to back games in these playoffs, and they appear destined to prevail in Game 7, giving them a chance at repeating as Stanley Cup Champions. The Islanders are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in Tampa Bay, and the Lightning are 47-19 in their last 66 home games. The officiating has been well below average in the 2021 playoffs, and the missed call favored the home team in Game 6. Nikita Kucherov suffered a serious injury from a crosscheck that went unpunished. As much as the Bolts will miss Kucherov, they have plenty of depth on offense. If the officials are going to be biased here, I expect that it would once again favor the home team. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on MTL. I liked Montreal as the underdog in this series from the beginning, and after earning a split in Vegas, I have decided to double down. "The Golden Knights are a huge favorite in the Stanley Cup semifinals, but they face a Montreal team that has won it's last seven games. Carey Price is more than capable of stealing a game or two in this series, and the squad in front of him has been outplaying the opposition throughout the playoffs. If you don't think this series is going to be close, just look at the history between these teams. The Habs have won five of the six meetings all time, and all five of those wins came in games decided by one goal." GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on Over The Isles try to pick up the pieces after an 8-0 loss in a pivotal Game 5 in Tampa. This will be particularly tough for their goaltender, who was pulled after allowing three goals on 16 shots. The over is 7-3-2 in Islanders last 12 overall, and they have gone over in seven of their last nine as a home underdog. This being an elimination game, we can expect it to be a lot closer than the 8-0 blowout in Game 5. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on TB. I love the Isles, and I've cashed in on a few bets on NYI as an underdog in these playoffs. I'm not going to bet on them taking a commanding 2-0 series lead here on the road against the reigning champs. By hook or by crook, I expect Tampa to even the series at 1-1 heading back to Long Island. The Lightning are 10-4 in their last 14 playoff games as a favorite, and they are 8-3 in their last 11 home games versus the Isles. Prior to losing Game 1 of this series, they had lost three times in these playoffs. They bounced back with a win in all three of those situations, and expect that to be the case here in Game 2.

If you don't think this series is going to be close, just look at the history between these teams. The Habs have won five of the six meetings all time, and all five of those wins came in games decided by one goal. GL, Jesse Schule |

06-07-21 | Jets v. Canadiens -150 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Montreal. I had the Habs in Game 2, and here is what I said before the game: "The Habs dominated Game 1 of this series, and much of the credit will go to Carey Price who stopped 27-of-30 shots. Price is the best goaltender in the world, and he did steal a few games in the series versus Toronto. A convincing win for Montreal was overshadowed by an injury to rookie Jake Evans, which resulted in a suspension for Mark Scheifele. The Jets could have a hard time replacing their leading scorer. The Jets are 0-6 in their last six playoff games as a favorite, while the Habs have won four straight as an underdog. I think the bookmakers have the wrong team favored here in Game 2." No Schiefele, no answer for Carey Price, the Jets have no hope heading into Game 4. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on Montreal. I had the Habs in Game 2, and here is what I said before the game: "The Habs dominated Game 1 of this series, and much of the credit will go to Carey Price who stopped 27-of-30 shots.

06-05-21 | Hurricanes +1.5 v. Lightning | 4-6 | Loss | -188 | 29 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Canes +1.5. I had Carolina in Game 3, and here is what I said prior to the game: "Tampa appears to be in full control of this series, heading home with a 2-0 series lead after back to back wins in Carolina. Both the first two games of this series ended with the same score, Tampa winning 2-1. Four of the last five head to head meetings between these teams have been decided by just one goal." Given that every game in this series has been decided by one goal, I feel comfortable taking the underdog on the puckline in Game 4. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on Carolina +1.5. Tampa appears to be in full control of this series, heading home with a 2-0 series lead after back to back wins in Carolina. Both the first two games of this series ended with the same score, Tampa winning 2-1. Four of the last five head to head meetings between these teams have been decided by just one goal.

06-02-21 | Golden Knights +1.5 v. Avalanche | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Golden Knights. After a big win in Game 7 versus Minnesota, the Knights suffered a big let down in Game 1 at Colorado. Robin Lehner got the start in Game 1, presumably to give #1 goaltender Marc Andre Fleury a night off after a taxing seven game series. We should expect to see Fleury back between the pipes tonight in Game 2. Fleury was named a Vezina finalist for the first time in his 17 year career this season. These teams split the season series, each team winning four games. Five of those games were decided by just one goal. While Colorado deserves to be the favorite, this isn't likely to be an easy game. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-31-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MTL +1.5. I had the Habs in Game 6, and here is what I had to say prior to the game: "The Habs survived with an overtime win in Toronto in Game 5, and they will look to force a Game 7 with another win on home ice tonight. Carey Price has carried this team, and he's going to need to be great again in Game 6. The Habs are playing with house money, and the pressure is all on Toronto. Four of the last six head to head meetings have been decided by just one goal, and another close game should be expected tonight." Another OT game feels inevitable. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-30-21 | Golden Knights +1.5 v. Avalanche | 1-7 | Loss | -160 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VGK. The Avs swept the Blues in the first round, and have since been sitting on the shelf waiting for their next opponent. Vegas is coming off a hard fought seven game series versus Minnesota, and they come in battle tested. These teams split the season series, each team winning four games. Five of those games were decided by just one goal. While Colorado deserves to be the favorite, this isn't likely to be an easy game. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-29-21 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MTL +1.5. The Habs survived with an overtime win in Toronto in Game 5, and they will look to force a Game 7 with another win on home ice tonight. Carey Price has carried this team, and he's going to need to be great again in Game 6. The Habs are playing with house money, and the pressure is all on Toronto. Four of the last six head to head meetings have been decided by just one goal, and another close game should be expected tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-28-21 | Wild +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 2-6 | Loss | -180 | 18 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Minnesota +1.5. The Vegas Golden Knights appeared to be in the driver's seat with a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5. After back to back losses they are back home for a "winner takes all" Game 7. The pressure sits squarely on the home favorite here, and Vegas has a history of struggling in elimination games. They also have a history of struggling against Minnesota. The Wild have won four of their last five at Vegas, and six of the last eight head to head meetings. Expect this game to be close, possibly another OT thriller. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-27-21 | Hurricanes v. Predators +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Nashville. The Predators face elimination in Game 6 tonight, but I expect them to force a Game 7. The home team has won all five game in this series, and the Predators are 13-3 in their last 16 home games. The Predators are 4-0 in their last four games as a home underdog, and the home team is 11-0 in the last 11 meetings. The Hurricanes are 0-4 in their last four games as a road favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-26-21 | Golden Knights -123 v. Wild | 0-3 | Loss | -123 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the VGK. Vegas dominated play in Game 1 of this series, but managed to lose 1-0 in overtime. The Knights then won the next three games, all in blowout fashion. They failed to close out the Wild in Game 5, but they should take care of business here in Game 6. The Golden Knights are 19-7 in their last 26 road games, and they are 40-14 in their last 54 games as a favorite. The Wild are 11-27 in their last 38 playoff games as an underdog, and they just don't match up well against Vegas. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-25-21 | Predators +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 17 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Preds +1.5. The Nashville Predators are back in the series coming off back to back home wins in Games 3-4. They head back to Carolina for Game 5, and I am expecting this to be a close game that could go either way. Each of the last two games were decided in overtime, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another overtime game tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-24-21 | Islanders +1.5 v. Penguins | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYI +1.5. This series between Pittsburgh and New York couldn't be any closer. We head into Game 5 in Pittsburgh with the series tied 2-2, and three of the first four games decided by just one goal. The Islanders are coming off a convincing 4-1 win at home in Game 4, and they have the momentum in their favor. The Penguins are 3-9 in their last 12 playoff games as a favorite, and goaltending has been an issue for Pittsburgh in this series. Ilya Sorokin is the hot netminder in this series, with a record of 2-0 and a 1.76 GAA. He stopped 29-of-30 shots in a Game 4 victory. GL, Jesse Schule |

05-23-21 | Avalanche -1.5 v. Blues | 5-2 | Win | 117 | 21 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Avs -1.5. Colorado finished with the best record in the NHL during the regular season, and the Avs are the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They are on the verge of sweeping the St. Louis Blues, and we might not see a lot of push back from the Blues here in Game 4. The Avs have outscored St. Louis a combined 15-5 in the first three games. The Blues have missed leading scorer David Perron who has been sidelined with Covid. The Blues are 0-5 in their last five playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Maple Leafs | 1-5 | Loss | -160 | 17 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Habs +1.5. Carey Price stopped 35 of 36 shots in a brilliant performance in Game 1 of this first round series versus Toronto. Maple Leafs captain John Tavares was stretchered off the ice and taken to hospital with a head injury, and he remains out of the lineup for Game 2. A close game in the series opener was no surprise, as three of the last four meetings between these teams were decided by just one goal. Toronto has the better team on paper, but that might not matter if Carey Price plays like we all know he's capable of. GL, Jesse Schule. |

05-21-21 | Jets +1.5 v. Oilers | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 32 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on WPG +1.5. The Jets faded down the stretch, and they come into this playoff series versus Edmonton as losers of six straight head to head meetings. You don't have to go too far back though to when these teams were neck and neck, fighting for second place in the North Division. I wouldn't count out this Winnipeg team that has gone deep into the playoffs in recent seasons. Edmonton has the superstar in Connor McDavid, but the Jets have the goaltending, the grit and the toughness to make this a competitive series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
05-20-21 | Penguins +1.5 v. Islanders | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Pens +1.5. You don't want to pay the big price to back the puckline dog all the time, but I will make an exception here getting the #1 seed Penguins as the ATS underdog. The Pens have won seven of their last 10 versus the Islanders outright, and seven of those games were decided by just one goal. Evgeni Malkin will travel with the team, and is expected to be back in the lineup for Game 3. The Penguins are 7-2 in their last nine road games, and the Islanders are 2-6 in their last eight games as a favorite. Sidney Crosby was pretty quiet in Game 2, and played limited minutes. I expect him to make an impact tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |
