10-17-22 | Hurricanes -160 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 22 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Monday. After the Kraken picked up their first win of the season on Thursday against the Kings, they failed to beat the Golden Knights on Saturday. Now, they'll face another very tough team in the Carolina Hurricanes, who have yet to taste defeat. In two games so far, the Canes have allowed just 2 goals. Last season the Hurricanes finished on top of the Metropolitan Division with 116 points (54-20-8,) while the Seattle Kraken ended up with on of the worst records in the entire NHL (27-49-6, 60 pts.) I know the Kraken picked up expected superstar Shane Wright, but he hasn't played the past two games and hasn't lived up to the hype so far. I expect Seattle to put up a fight, but for the Hurricanes to put them to bed in the 2nd and 3rd periods in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. |

10-07-22 | Sharks v. Predators -165 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 361 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Friday. Opening Night in Prague, everyone will have some jitters. Last season, the Predators made the playoffs, but were quickly swept 4-0 against the 2021 champions in the Colorado Avalanche. Nashville was great all season long, and now they've added some important guys to their team that could just make them a contender come the playoffs this season. Ryan McDonagh and Nino Niederreiter are very talented and will be very good adds to this already talented Predators team. On the other hand, the Sharks are coming off a semi-disappointing 32-37-13, 77 point season. With this game not being in San Jose, and with Nashville just being the better team overall, I like their chances here on Opening Night. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Predators. |

06-26-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning +103 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. The Lightning aren't dead yet after being down 3-1 in the series due to a home loss, they have pulled off a road win to make this series 3-2 and now they have some momentum on their side for this game. They will be on home ice here and I expect them to bring their best effort here since their season is still on the line and I think they can tie this up here. They are the B2B defending Stanley Cup champions and they have already shown their resilience in this postseason with some comeback wins in earlier series. I think they can do it again here to force a game 7 in Colorado and a big reason for their success lately is due to Vasilevskiy looking like his old self again. He gave up some soft goals in their most recent game but they still got the win and he hasn't given up a lot of goals in their games since that bad loss in game 2. He has looked a lot better than Kuemper has looked in net and I think that is going to be the difference in this game since Vasilevskiy plays a lot better on home ice. The Avalanche have been getting their scoring chances but they aren't getting a lot of good shots on net and I expect them to continue with their struggles scoring in this series. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Lightning. |

06-22-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning -103 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Lightning blew out the Avalanche in the 3rd game 6-2 and now that they have a win under their belt, I expect them to come with another great effort here and tie up this series. They looked a lot better than the Avs in that game and Vasilevskiy was back to his old self making some really good saves in that game. I expect Vasilevskiy to play like that again and shut the door on the Avs here with some more great saves in this game. Kuemper was also a big liability for the Avs in that game. He looked terrible giving up a ton of goals and the goals he gave up were not even on great shots either which makes his performance look even worse and I think his confidence will be a bit shaken in this game. The Lightning have shown they can score goals in this series now and I expect them to continue with the goaltending issues for the Avs. I also think the Lightning have the better goaltending here in general and I expect Vasilevskiy to steal this game if the Lightning offense gets stunted for some reason. The Lightning are still the defending champions and they look very hungry for a 3rd cup in a row now. I expect them to give a great effort on home ice here and win this game to even up the series. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Lightning. |

06-18-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche -147 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche. I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The Avalanche have a 1-0 series lead here after winning the 1st game of this series in OT 4-3 but they looked like the better team in that game for a majority of it. They came out quick in that game taking an early 3-1 lead before the Lightning tied it 3-3 on 2 bad goals but the Avalanche still kept all the pressure in Tampa's zone and I expect to see the same thing in this game. The Avalanche are hot and have won 6 games in a row now. Including the 1st game of this series, the Avalanche are now 3-0 against the Lightning this year and I expect the Avalanche to make that 4-0 after this game. They looked a lot faster than the Lightning in that game and were outskating them for a majority of the game. Vasilevskiy is the shining star on the Lightning and he didn't look good at all in that game. He gave up 4 goals and didn't face many shots either and a lot of the goals he gave up were really fluky goals too. Vasilevskiy needs to play better or the Lightning will have no chance in this game to win it. The Avalanche are too fast for the Lightning to keep up with and I see the Avs tiring the Lightning out again like they did in the 1st game. I like the Avalanche to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. |

06-06-22 | Avalanche v. Oilers +118 | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The Oilers are now down 3-0 in the series and they are on the brink of elimination here. I think they are going to be desperate in this game and I expect them to leave everything out on the ice tonight to win this game and keep their cup hopes alive still. This is a last stand for the Oilers on home ice here and this is a game they have to win. They looked pretty good for the 1st bit of the game in their previous game but Mike Smith gave up some bad goals, the winning goal really late in that game too, and that led to their demise in that game. I think the Oilers are going to bounce back here though and I'd be shocked if the Oilers get swept here in the Western Conference finals. The Avs still have Francouz in net here and I'm not convinced he is as good as he has been playing. The Oilers have also struggled to get good shots off at him but I expect them to pepper him tonight facing elimination here and I expect them to throw pucks at the net all night. The Oilers didn't look terrible in any of these games, they just had some unfortunate situations with their goaltending. In the 1st game they scored a ton of goals on the Avs in a road game but had a terrible performance from Smith. In the 2nd game they couldn't score but their defensive effort was much better and they lost that game in a span of 3 minutes where Smith collapsed but other than that he looked good in that game. And then in the 3rd game they had a lead and all around played a really good game but again Smith let in a bad goal late that changed the landscape of that game. Smith is still a veteran goalie though with experience and a great career behind him, I expect him to step up and bounce back here since he is due for a good game. I think the Oilers are also going to put it all together here for a much better performance and I expect them to win this home game and stay alive. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Oilers. |

06-04-22 | Avalanche v. Oilers +117 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The Avalanche have a 2-0 series lead here and they looked really good in the 1st 2 games but both were on home ice for them and i think the Oilers can get 1 back here and win this game on home ice. The Oilers looked terrible in the previous game and they didn't even score a goal after a great 1st game where they lost but scored 6 goals and were in that game right until the very end since they managed to come back. That team was nowhere to be found in their most recent game though but I think they are going to step up here and give a better effort tonight. They didn't even look all that bad in the previous game but they blew the game in about a 3 minute span, but they were keeping up and playing very well in the game before that. This is still a strong offensive team that has been putting pucks in the net like no tomorrow in this postseason. The Avalanche are also missing their starting goalie Kuemper here and Francouz is really not that great. He shut the Oilers out in the previous game but the Avalanche looked great on defense in that game and the Oilers didn't really get any good chances on him and the shots they took weren't challenging him at all. I think this game will be different on home ice for them and i expect them to come out more aggressive here, trying to challenge Francouz early here and I don't expect him to hold up in net this time. I think this is a bounce back game for the Oilers here and I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Edmonton Oilers. |

06-03-22 | Lightning -127 v. Rangers | 2-3 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the New York Rangers on Friday. The Lightning are down 1-0 in this series after a 6-2 loss in the 1st game but I think they are going to bounce back here. They didn't look great in their previous game and were a bit rusty after the long layoff but I think they will be more prepared for this game after playing now and I expect them to get back in their groove here. That loss ended a 6 game run for the Lightning and I think they are going to come out with more fire in this game. The chants by the fans in MSG were getting brutal in that game and I think they just angered the Lightning, I expect them to get after the Rangers right away here. Vasilevskiy had a bad game but he has a very good record after a loss in the playoffs and I expect him to bounce back with a better performance too. The Rangers have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row but this is still a young team and I don't think they are going to be able to sustain that type of play in this series. I expect the Rangers to start breaking down in this game and I see the experience from the Lightning kicking in here to tie this up going back home. The Lightning are the B2B defending champions and they know they need a road win here to advance and flip the home advantage here. I expect them to get that win here and put the pressure on the Rangers going back to Tampa. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Lightning. |

06-01-22 | Lightning -120 v. Rangers | 2-6 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the New York Rangers on Wednesday. The Lightning have won 6 games in a row now and they just swept the Panthers in their previous series. They have had more than 10 days off to rest now and I think they are going to be fresh for this game and ready to get after the Rangers here. The Lightning haven't had home advantage in any of their series so far and they are the defending B2B champions of the NHL too so I don't expect this being a road game to be much of a factor for them. They have won 4/6 of their road games in this postseason and I think they will continue to find success here. The Rangers have looked good in their home games lately and their defensive effort has been even better there but they are facing the B2B defending champions now and I think that experience is going to come into play here. This will also be the toughest goalkeeper that the Rangers will have faced since Vasilevskiy is the best in the world and I expect the Lightning's strong offense to solve Shesterkin and score some goals here. The Lightning know they need to flip the home advantage in this series and I expect they will come out strong here to catch the Rangers early and put the onus on them to win another road game to win this series. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning. |

05-30-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -142 | 6-2 | Loss | -142 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Monday. This is game 7 of the series and I think the Hurricanes are going to be the team to advance here. They have looked really good in their home games lately, they are 7-0 in their home games in this postseason. They haven't been able to win any road games in this postseason yet but they have been dominant on home ice and I expect this game to be no different than their other home games. The Hurricanes haven't been scoring a lot of goals in this series either but they have scored more goals in their home games than in their road games and I expect their offense to show up here and get the job done. Shesterkin has looked really good in a lot of their games but all year he has been a better goalie in home games than in road games and he has already shown that he can collapse in road games in their previous series against the Penguins. The Rangers were down 3-1 in their previous series and they won 3 games in a row to advance to this round but they can't keep playing on the brink of elimination and I think it is going to catch up to them here. I expect this to be the end of the line for the Rangers and I see the Hurricanes continuing their home dominance in this postseason with another win here to advance to the next round. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

05-26-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -151 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Thursday. The Hurricanes just lost 2 games in a row in New York and allowed the Rangers to even up the series at 2. The Hurricanes haven't looked great in their road games this postseason but they have looked really good in their home games, being a perfect 6-0 in their home games this postseason. They won the 1st 2 games of this series on home ice with a great defensive effort, keeping the Rangers at only 1 goal between the 2 games while scoring 2 goals themselves in each game. I think this is going to be another dominant performance by the Hurricanes on home ice here and I expect them to play their best here like they have on home ice all year and take a series lead here. The Rangers have only won 1 road game in this postseason and I think they are going to lose another game with their inability to score goals in their road games. They also looked really good on defense in the 1st 2 games but Igor hasn't been great in a lot of their road games this postseason and I think there is a good chance that he will crack here, letting in a few goals from the Hurricanes. I think the Rangers are going to have another road game where they struggle on offense here and if they don't get out to an early lead then I think the Hurricanes will be able to take the game over and dominate it with their offensive and defensive efforts. The Hurricanes have been perfect this postseason in their home games and I don't think that run is going to end tonight. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

05-24-22 | Hurricanes -103 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Hurricanes lost the previous game in this series in New York but they still have a 2-1 series lead and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. All of the games in this series have been very close and really could have gone either way but it has been the defensive efforts and the goalkeeping of both teams that is keeping both teams in these games. The Hurricanes still haven't won a road game in this postseason yet but I think they will get their 1st road win here to take a 3-1 series lead. I expect them to be motivated here since they just came off a 7 game series and will probably want to wrap this series up a lot quicker. They have been flawless on home ice in this postseason and if they win this game tonight, they have a chance to eliminate the Rangers on home ice in the next game which is an opportunity that I think the Hurricanes won't pass up on after going through a longer series. The Hurricanes dominated the Rangers during the regular season and I expect them to do the same in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Hurricanes. |
|||||||
05-23-22 | Panthers +112 v. Lightning | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers. I like the Florida Panthers to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. The Panthers are down 3-0 in this series and they are going to be desperate in this game. They are facing elimination here and I expect them to come out and play their best hockey of the year here to win a game and sent the series back home with a chance to make it 3-2. The Lightning have been dominant in this series but there was 1 game that the Panthers almost won and could have changed the landscape of this series. The Lightning scored on them with 4 seconds left in game 2 which seemed to be heading for OT but that loss must have disheartened Florida a bit which showed in the last game. This is the last stand for the Panthers though and they do not win here then they are out. I expect them to wake up here and play a good game since they were the team with the most points during the regular season and they weren't dominated that much in their regular season games against the Lightning either. The series between them was pretty even with both teams getting blow out wins against each other and I see this game has the potential for the panthers to win it. They have it in them to beat this team and not only will they be desperate here, but they hate the Lightning due to their state rivalry with each other and it would be an absolute embarrassment for the Panthers who won the Presidents Trophy to get swept here. I think the Panthers will bounce back here and keep their postseason alive. I like the Panthers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Panthers. |
|||||||
05-22-22 | Flames v. Oilers +105 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Sunday. The Oilers looked really good in their most recent game, stealing a road game in the series and now giving themselves the advantage as they go back to Edmonton for the next 2 games. The Oilers won the previous game 5-3 after trailing early in that game just like they were trailing early in the 1st game against the Flames. They fell behind by 4 goals in that 1st game but managed to come back and tie the game just to lose it in the end. They still put in a great effort in that game with 6 goals, they just needed a better effort from their goalkeeper. They got that better effort in the 2nd game though and scored 5 goals to win that game, again coming back from behind. The Oilers are at home now and I think they are going to be the team to try and jump ahead early in this game on their home ice. Markstrom hasn't looked good for the Flames in any of these games and he hasn't even faced a lot of shots either. The Stars didn't pepper him with a lot of shots in their 1st series either and he still had games where he gave up a lot of goals. He hasn't really been tested in the postseason until now and he looks like he is cracking under the pressure here. Mike Smith had a much better game, he did give up 2 quick goals in that 2nd game again, but once he got calmed down with his nerves he looked a lot better for the rest of the game. I think Markstrom is going to let the Flames down in this game, he just had 2 terrible games on home ice and now has to play in 2 road games with a much more hostile environment. The 1st line for the Oilers has woken up too and is starting to get really hot in these games with goals. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Oilers +157 v. Flames | 5-3 | Win | 157 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Friday. The Oilers lost the 1st game of this series in a really high scoring affair, losing that game 9-6. The Oilers didn't really get a good start in that game, more specifically their goalkeeper Mike Smith who was pulled in the 1st period after giving up 3 quick goals on his 1st 10 shots faced. Koskinen wasn't great either since he still gave up double the goals but it was a really bad night for all goalkeepers in that game since even Markstrom gave up 6 goals himself and he didn't face a ton of shots from the Oilers either. I still think the Oilers looked good on offense in that game though. They were down 5-1 in that game and they managed to come back and tie the game 6-6. They still gave up 3 goals after that but I expect Mike Smith to have a better game here and not get pulled this time around. The Oilers showed that they can compete with the Flames and score enough goals to keep up with them. I think they just need a better performance from their goalie here and the Oilers can steal a road game here. These cities are really close to each other so the rivalry here is a big one and I think the Oilers aren't going to let this series get to 2-0 for their 2 home games. I expect the Oilers to be better defensively and I expect Mike Smith to have a better game too. I think the Oilers have the offensive power to outscore the Flames here and I expect them to take a game back to tie this series up. I like the Oilers to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. |

05-18-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -159 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Wednesday. The Hurricanes looked good in their previous series against the Bruins, they didn't win any of their road games in that series but they did win all of their home games in a dominant fashion. I think the Hurricanes are going to dominate another game on their home ice here and I expect the Rangers to struggle against them here. The Rangers didn't play great in their road games against the Penguins in their previous series. They ended up stealing a road game back in game 6 after dropping a home game early in the series but their 1st 2 road games in that series were pathetic and they gave up 7 goals in both games, Shesterkin getting pulled in both games. Shesterkin was a great goalie this year, 1 of the best in the league, but he has already shown that he can fall apart here in the playoffs, specifically in road games, and I think there is a good possibility it happens here too. The Hurricanes were a much better team all year, finishing in 1st place in their division, but they played their best games on home ice and they showed that in their previous series when they blew out the Bruins in most of those home games. The Hurricanes also won a majority of their games against the Rangers this year during the regular season, and I don't see that script being any different here in this series. The Hurricanes can score a lot of goals on home ice and if the Rangers give up some early goals here doing down early in the game like they have been doing lately, I don't think they will be able to come back. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

05-14-22 | Lightning v. Maple Leafs -120 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The Leafs have looked great in this series and even though they are going to game 7 here, it feels like this series should already be over. They looked really good in their most recent game, losing 4-3 in OT in Tampa but they clearly looked like the better team in that game and there were some bad calls by the refs which didn't help them at all. I still think the Leafs are the better team though and they have shown to be 1 of the strongest in the East at the moment. I think they will close out this series on home ice here and finally break their playoff curse over the years. The Leafs have been scoring a lot in this series, scoring 3+ goals in every game of the series which is something that the Lightning haven't even done, scoring 2 goals in 1 of the games and even getting shut out in the 1st game of this series. The Leafs have even shown their resiliency in some of these games since they have erased multi-goal deficits multiple times so if they get behind in this game they will come back. I think they are going to take an early lead here though and I expect them to score so many goals that the Lightning just won't be able to come back in this game. I think the Leafs are the stronger team and I expect them to be motivated here to end their curse and kick out the 2 time defending Stanley Cup champions. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Leafs. |

05-14-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their home games this series, with the home team winning every game of this series. I think that is going to continue in this game with a Hurricanes win here to eliminate the Bruins from the playoffs. Both of these teams have looked good at times in their games but it has become very clear that these 2 teams are struggling to win in road games and I expect the Hurricanes to be the more dominant team here. The Hurricanes have scored 5 goals in every home game of this series and they only gave up 2 goals in 1 of those games, giving up 1 goal in each of the other 2 games. The Bruins have not only had trouble winning their road games in this series, but they have been struggling to even score goals and I think those struggles are going to be their downfall here. The Hurricanes were a better team in their home games than their road games all year and they have been showing that in this series with their 3 big wins in their home games. This game is going to be dominated by the Hurricanes on home ice and I expect them to close out the series with no issues. I like the Hurricanes to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. |

05-13-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Friday. The Penguins lead this series 3-2 with a chance to close it out on home ice here and I think they are going to get the job done here. Unlike the rangers, the Penguins have been in this situation many times over the years and they have the veteran experience on their team over the rangers will help them to end the Rangers in this game. The Rangers won the most recent game in the series 5-3 on their home ice but that was a game that they trailed 2-0 in early and then had to make a comeback just to get the win and keep their playoff dream alive. The Penguins dominated the Rangers in their 2 games played in Pittsburgh and those games weren't even close at all. The Penguins scored 7 goals on the Rangers in both home games and Igor Shesterkin had to be pulled in both games. He looked better in their most recent game but that was on home ice and even then he still looked shaky with some of the goals he let in. Shesterkin looked rattled in their 2 games in Pittsburgh and there is a good chance that he will unravel again here due to the lack of playoff experience and lack of confidence in himself. If the Rangers can't rely on their goaltending here then they will have a mountain to climb in this game and even in their previous 2 games in Pittsburgh, they got the jump on the Rangers early and scored really quickly to take a big lead. I think this is going to be the end of the line here for the rangers. I like the Penguins to win this game and the series. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Penguins. |

05-12-22 | Oilers -135 v. Kings | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the LA Kings on Thursday. The Oilers have looked really good in this series and I think they are going to bounce back with a win in this game to even up the series 3-3. They are down 3-2 in the series going into LA and I think they will turn on the jets here to with their backs against the wall in this series. The Oilers have looked like the better team in almost every game of this series too. Their 2 wins came in blowout fashion with a 6-0 win and an 8-2 win over the Kings. The Kings only had 1 game in this series where they dominated with a 4-0 win while their other 2 wins were both really close games that the Kings won in OT. Those games could have gone very differently and even if 1 of them was a win for the Oilers, they would have the Kings backed up on their heels here. I still think the Oilers are the better team here and I see them forcing a game 7 here with a win. The Kings struggled to beat the Oilers all year, going 1-3 against the Oilers during the regular season and the game they won was at the beginning of the year. I think the Oilers have way more talent on their team and they have already shown that they can destroy the Kings with their 2 wins coming by those big margins. The Kings have jumped on the Oilers early in the previous 2 games which set them back from the start in those games but I think with the Oilers facing elimination here, they will come out fast and strong trying to get an early goal and once they get a lead in the game, I expect them to keep it. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. |

05-09-22 | Flames -155 v. Stars | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Monday. The Flames are down 2-1 in the series now but it has taken them some time to get into rhythm in the playoffs here. They won the 1st game 1-0 in a very defensive effort by both teams and they played the same way in the 2nd game too but that came back to bite them, losing 2-0 on home ice. Now the home advantage has flipped to the Stars with them taking the 3rd game in a 4-2 win but I think the Flames still looked really good in that game and they dominated it for the 1st 2 periods with their offense finally waking up. They had a bad 3rd period and ended up losing the game but I think they will bounce back here and win this game knowing they need to even up the series before going back home. They only put 2 goals in the net in that game but it was the most goals they have scored in a game of this series so far and I think they will finally break out here with a great offensive effort. They have been getting plenty of shots and scoring chances in their 1st 3 games, they just haven't been converting them into goals but I think that will change here and I expect the Flames to really clamp down knowing they can't go home down 3-1 in the series. The Stars play very defensively in their games but once the Flames start to open up their scoring more, I think it will be hard for Dallas to keep up with them. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames. |

05-08-22 | Hurricanes +115 v. Bruins | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately but they finally lost their 1st game of this series in Boston in the 3rd game, still keeping their 2-1 lead over them. The Hurricanes still looked good in that game and managed to keep it close near the end, even opening up the scoring in that game too. The Bruins were bound to get a win at home since they are not a bad team but I still think the Hurricanes are the better team here and after playing their 1st game of the series in Boston now, I expect them to make the proper adjustments and bounce back in this game with a win to take a 3-1 series lead. The Hurricanes completely dominated the Bruins in their 2 home games, winning 5-1 and 5-2 in those games. The Hurricanes also dominated the Bruins during the regular season with a 3-0 record against them and 2 of those wins were in Boston too. Not only did they win all of their games against them, but they won 3-0 on home ice, and they won 6-0 and 7-1 in their 2 road games in Boston. The Bruins have struggled with the Hurricanes all year and now that they have gotten their win on home ice in the series, I expect to see the Hurricanes close them out. The Hurricanes are a faster team and they can be just as physical as the Bruins when they want to be. I expect a more physical effort from them here and I think they will get the job done so they can close out the series in their next game on home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. |

05-07-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | 4-7 | Win | 110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Penguins are back on home ice for the next 2 games and right now they have home advantage in the series after stealing game 1 in New York from the Rangers. They have still looked good in both games though, despite losing in their most recent game 5-2, they still played the Rangers very tough and they were in that game until midway through the 3rd period where it started to fall apart for them. I think the Penguins are going to look a lot better on their home ice here and they have a lot more playoff experience on their team than the Rangers do. They already stole a road game in this series and I think they will take advantage of this opportunity to get a grip on the series and take the lead here. Domingue will be their starting goalie in this series until further notice and he looked good in those other 2 games. He still played well for 2 periods but had a bad 3rd period which I think he will recover from here and play a lot better with the home crowd on his side. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Penguins. |

05-06-22 | Wild v. Blues -109 | 5-1 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The Blues looked great in the 1st game of this series winning that game 4-0 but they got trashed 6-2 in the 2nd game and didn't look that great as the Wild responded well to their previous loss. The Blues are on home ice now though and they already did their job in Minnesota since they needed to win at least 1 road game to take the series and now they have that under their belt. They had 1 bad game in their most recent game but they have still been 1 of the hottest teams in the league over the last month of the regular season and I think they will bounce back on home ice here. The Blues also have more experience in the postseason and I think that will come into to play in this series too. The Blues have been scoring a lot of goals in their games lately too and they already pulled off a shut out in Minnesota in the 1st game. I think the Blues will play a lot better on their home ice here and I expect them to take advantage of thse two home games winning them both. The series in their hands now since the Wild need to steal a road game back from them now but I think the Blues will be a lot better on the defensive end in this game and I think their offense will find ways to score on the Wild here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blues. |

05-05-22 | Penguins v. Rangers -152 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday and even up this series at 1-1. The Rangers lost the 1st game of this series in a long and hard fought battle, losing 4-3 in that game but it took 3 OTs to get that result. I think the Rangers looked really good at the beginning of that game but they started to lose control as the game went on the disallowed goal late in the 3rd period was also a real big momentum killer for them. I think they are going to bounce back in this game though and I expect them to head to Pittsburgh with a series tied at 1-1. The Penguins already had their backup goalie starting in that game with Jarry out and DeSmith even picked up an injury himself in the 2nd OT. The Penguins already announced that their 3rd string goalie, Louis Domingue, will be starting in this game and I think he is going to get beat up on here. He only made 17 saves after coming in the game in the 2nd OT and the Rangers never really challenged him with difficult shots. I think it is going to be a lot different for them in this game though starting from the beginning and the Rangers will have a lot more energy this time compared to facing him in the 2nd and 3rd OTs when they have already played for over 80 minutes at that point. I expect the Rangers to get the jump on him right away in this game and I think they are going to pepper the net with shots here, breaking through Domingue a few times. I don't see the Penguins taking a 2-0 lead here going back home for the next 2 games. I like the Rangers to win this game and even up the series. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rangers. |

05-04-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes in this game against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. The Hurricanes took the 1st game of this series on home ice and I think they are going to make it a 2 game sweep on home ice here in these 1st 2 games of the series. The 1st game in this series wasn't even close with the Hurricanes defeating the Bruins 5-1 and I think this game is going to be very similar. The Hurricanes were on a roll to end the regular season and they came into this 1st series of the postseason very hot with 6 wins in a row and a majority of those wins by 2+ goals. They continued that run in game 1 and I think they are going to continue it again. The Hurricanes have looked great on home ice all year and they really dominated the Bruins without having to take many shots. The Bruins out shot the Hurricanes by 10+ shots yet Raanta was incredible all night, stopping 35/36 shots in that game. Ullmark had a really bad night giving up 4 goals and he only faced 24 shots, stopping 20 of those. The Hurricanes goalkeeping was a big concern coming into the postseason with their starting goalie, Frederik Andersen, out with injury but Raanta has been great all year and if this series comes down to goalkeeping, the Hurricanes are going to win that battle. The Hurricanes looked they came to play with a purpose and I expect them to just keep gaining momentum the deeper they go. I think they are going to dominate the Bruins here again and beat up on them physically on the ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. |

05-02-22 | Blues +115 v. Wild | 4-0 | Win | 115 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Monday. The Blues have looked really good in their games lately and they were getting really hot near the end of the regular season. The Blues ended their year with 2 losses in a row but they really didn't need to win those games and they were resting some of their better players for this series. Before losing those 2 games, they had won 3 games in a row and they had won 12/13 of their previous 13 games, going on a huge run where they were destroying teams by 3+ goals a lot of the time and scoring a ton of goals too. They haven't been struggling in their road games either since they have won 7/8 of their previous 8 road games and they ended the regular season as 1 of the hottest teams in the league. The Wild have also looked really good in their games lately, winning 7/8 of their previous 8 games and they have looked even better on home ice this year. They have struggled against the Blues this year though, and they lost all 3 games to the Blues this year, including 2 road games and 1 home game. I think the Blues are the better team here and they have been really hot in their games lately. I expect them to score a lot of goals here and make it very difficult on the Wild to win here on home ice. I think the Blues have the better defense and I also think their offense is stronger since they have been scoring a lot more goals than the Wild have been over the past few weeks. I expect the Blues to jump out to an early lead here and steal this game away from the Wild. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blues. |

05-02-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Monday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and they ended the regular season off on a hot streak, winning 6 games in a row now going into this series. They have looked great on home ice in their games lately too and I think they are going to put up a great performance here in game 1. The Bruins have looked good in their games lately too but they have been winning a lot of their games on home ice and they haven't been great in their road games this year. They were definitely a better team on home ice all year and I think the Hurricanes are going to bully them on their home ice. The Bruins have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 road games and the 2 games they lost were both against teams that made it to the postseason this year while their win was against 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Canadiens. Over the previous month, the Bruins have played in 6 road games against teams that made the postseason this year and of those games the Bruins only won 2 of them. I think the Bruins are going to continue their struggles against playoff quality teams and I expect the Hurricanes to take game 1 of this series on their home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

04-29-22 | Canucks +160 v. Oilers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. The Canucks have already been eliminated from playoff contention this year and this game doesn't really mean anything to them but they have still looked really good in their games lately and I think they will end their year off really hot since they have been playing some of their best hockey all year over the last few weeks. They have won 2 games in a row now with 1 of those being a slaughter of the Kraken and the other was in a game against the Kings last night where they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in OT 3-2 and they really dominated in the 2nd and 3rd periods of that game. They have a lot to build on for next year after putting together a great campaign after firing their coach in December but I think they will want to end their season off strong with a win here. The Oilers have already clinched their spot and home advantage on the postseason so this is a nothing game for them and I expect them to rest most of their players here since they played them all in their game against the Sharks last night. The Oilers beat the Sharks on home ice 5-4 in OT but they were trailing for that entire game and only tied it up near the end when the Sharks got into some penalty trouble. I don't think the Oilers are going to care as much in this last game of the regular season and the Canucks are a much hotter team than the Sharks are. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. |

04-28-22 | Capitals v. Islanders +125 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 125 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. The Islanders haven't looked great lately but they just ended a 5 game losing skid with a win over the Capitals in their most recent game and I think they can get another win against them on home ice here. The Islanders won that game in Washington 4-1 and I think they can repeat that here on home ice with the current state of the Capitals. They have been sustaining a lot of injuries lately and the most notable injury would be to their star player Ovechkin. He will be out and getting ready to make a comeback for the playoffs but I also think that the Capitals might rest some other key players here with their trip to the postseason already being confirmed. They can still have an affect on who they play with a win or loss in this game but I think making it to the postseason as healthy as possible is the main priority right now and I think that leaves the door open for a much stronger effort from the Islanders in this game. The Islanders have been long eliminated from playoff contention so they really have nothing to play for here but after going on a long losing skid and with the season they have had this year, between all of the covid adversity and the long road trips because of their new building, it would be nice for them to end the year with a few wins. The head coach of the Islanders, Barry Trotz, also used to coach the Capitals including the year they won the cup and I doubt this is a game he will take lightly no matter what it means to either team. I'm expecting a stronger effort from the Islanders in this game and I think they can beat up on the banged up Capitals again in this game. I like the Islanders to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders. |

04-26-22 | Golden Knights -105 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The Golden Knights haven't looked great in their games lately winning just 1/4 of their previous 4 games but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be motivated after suffering a bad loss on home ice to the Sharks in a shootout considering those 2 teams have a lot of history already for the short amount the Knights have been in the league. I expect the Golden Knights to be angry over that loss and I expect to see them take out their anger on the Stars here who haven't looked great in their games lately either. The Stars just won their most recent game but it was on home ice to 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Kraken, and they lost 3 games in a row before winning that game. All of their losses during that time were by 2+ goals and came against teams that haven't been eliminated from contention yet. Right now there is a 4 team race in the West for the 2 Wild Card spots and both of these teams are part of that race. The Stars have a 3 point lead over Vegas and the Golden Knights are also the last team in that playoff hunt with the least amount of points of the 4 teams. A loss here could pretty much end their season and I don't think that is going to happen to them just yet. I expect the Golden Knights to get a bounce back win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Golden Knights. |

04-25-22 | Flyers +125 v. Blackhawks | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. The Flyers have had a terrible year and really have nothing left to play for along with their opposing team here, the Blackhawks, but the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been playing quite well during this time. They have won 2 games in a row and I think they can keep up their streak here, adding another game to it. Both of their wins were very dominant with a win over the Canadiens in Montreal who have been bad lately but that is still a tough building to play in, and the other win was on home ice but against a playoff team in the Penguins who they destroyed 4-1 and never even gave the Penguins a chance in that game from the beginning. Their defense has been a lot better and they haven't had any issues scoring goals lately either. The Blackhawks haven't looked good at all in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row now but also only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. Their 2 most recent losses were not great either since they lost both games by 3 goals and were dominated the entire time, even losing to a team like the Sharks who have struggled to win games all year. I think the Flyers are getting hot now and they have looked a lot better than the Blackhawks have lately. The Blackhawks have been giving up tons of goals in their games too and they have only been able to score 2 goals in their last 2 games. I think the Flyers are playing way better at the moment and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flyers. |

04-23-22 | Canadiens +137 v. Senators | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The Canadiens have lost 7 games in a row now and they were just embarrassed in 4 home games in a row too. They tried to keep up with the Flyers in their most recent game but they still lost that game 6-3 and the anger has to be boiling for this Canadiens team. They have had a terrible year and are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, just a year after going to the Stanley Cup finals and losing there. I still think they have a lot of pride playing for Montreal though and I expect them to break out of this funk before the end of the year. I think this is a good spot for them to bounce back in and I like them to get a win over the Senators who haven't looked great this year either. The Senators are on a bit of a roll now winning 2 games in a row but they had to win both games in a shootout and I think the Canadiens will play them tough here with the cities being so close to each other. Carey Price had a bad game against the Flyers but I think he can bounce back in this game and play a lot better since he hasn't been awful since making his return. I think he can keep the Canadiens in this game and the Senators haven't really been able to win games lately unless they go to shootout. I like the Canadiens to bounce back and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Canadiens. |

04-23-22 | Predators v. Lightning -158 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Lightning have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they did slip up against the Red Wings during that time but their other 3 wins were very impressive and they have been scoring a lot of goals in those games too. They just slaughtered the Leafs on home ice 8-1 and they had a 7-4 win over the Jets in their game before the loss to the Red Wings. They are on home ice again here and the Predators haven't looked that great lately either, especially in their road games. The Predators have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games, both wins by just 1 goal, and they have played 5 games in a row on home ice. They lost the most recent road game they played in and they haven't looked great in road games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 road games. Their most recent loss was at home to the Blues and they lost that game 8-3 after taking a 1-0 lead in the 1st period. The Lightning are coming off of some similar games where they destroyed the opposing team and I think they are going to do the same to the Predators on their home ice here since the Lightning have been getting really hot lately. The Lightning have already clinched a playoff spot this year but they are still fighting with the Bruins for 3rd place since 1 of those teams will have to land in the Wild Card. The Lightning have a 3 point lead over the Bruins and I think they are going to be motivated to keep their lead here. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Lightning. |

04-21-22 | Flyers v. Canadiens -135 | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. The Canadiens haven't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 6 games in a row now. I think they are due for a bounce back win here and I think they have their best chance of winning a game here on home ice. Carey Price is back for the Canadiens and he has actually looked good in his games so far. He has only given up 2 goals in both of his 2 most recent starts but his team couldn't back him up with any goals in those games. They just lost 2-0 on home ice to the Wild but Price still looked great in that game and shut down a very good team like the Wild in that game. I think the Canadiens have an easier game ahead of them here since the Flyers have been terrible this year and I think this is a great spot for the Canadiens to break out of their funk and get a win here. The Flyers haven't been any better lately and they have also lost 6 games in a row now. A majority of their losses during that time have been by 2+ goals too. Neither of these teams have anything left to play for this year and at this point it is just the pride of winning another game that should be coming out in this game. I think the Canadiens are going to step up on home ice here to break out of their losing skid. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. |

04-20-22 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes +145 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Coyotes. I like the Arizona Coyotes to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Coyotes haven't looked good in their games lately losing 7 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. The last team they won a game against was actually against the Blackhawks 8 games ago and they won that in a road game in OT. I think they can do the same here and break out of their funk once again with another win against the Blackhawks who haven't been great this year anyway. The Coyotes have been losing a lot but I think they have their best chance on home ice here and they have already beaten this team on their home ice in their most recent win so I like their chances of winning this game on home ice. They actually looked decent in their game against the Hurricanes, losing that game 5-3 on home ice but the game was also a lot closer for the entire time than the final score suggests. The Blackhawks are in their own funk lately losing 2 games in a row but they also have won 1/11 of their previous 11 games. I think this is a good spot for the Coyotes to get a win here on home ice. I like the Coyotes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Coyotes. |

04-15-22 | Islanders -140 v. Canadiens | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. The Islanders just lost their most recent game to the Penguins 6-3 and that came right after a win on home ice against the Penguins a few nights before. The Penguins really dominated the Islanders in that game and I think the Islanders are due for a bounce back in this game. They have looked good over the past 2 weeks and I think they have looked a lot better than the Canadiens have lately. The Canadiens have lost 3 games in a row now with their 2 most recent losses coming by 2+ goals. They only scored 3 goals in those 2 games and gave up 9 total to 2 teams that will not even be in the playoffs this year. The Islanders don't have a great chance of making it to the playoffs either but they have been getting hot lately. The Canadiens looked terrible in their loss to the Blue Jackets getting destroyed 5-1 and even in their game before that, they lost on home ice 4-2 to the Jets and trailed in that game for most of the time. The Canadiens are probably going to finish as the worst team in the East this year and the rest of the season is a total write off for them. I like how the Islanders have been playing lately and I want to ride them in this game while they are still hot and while the Canadiens are still slumping. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders. |

04-14-22 | Golden Knights v. Flames -153 | 6-1 | Loss | -153 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Flames have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will extend their run here with another win on home ice. They have won 5 games in a row now and have looked great in all of those games, with the 4 most recent games all being won by 2+ goals. The Flames have been putting a lot of pucks in the net lately too, scoring 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They are on home ice here and I think they are going to continue scoring tons of goals in their games while they are really hot at the moment. The Flames lead the Pacific Division in points at the moment and are 1 of the best teams in the West while the Knights sit in 4th place in their division, in the hunt for a playoff spot still. They haven't looked great in their games lately though and I think the Flames are going to skate circles around them in this game. Vegas has lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and both losses were to the Canucks who they have seen 3 times in their previous 4 games now. They have had a very weak schedule over the past few weeks and I think that is going to come back to bite them in this game. The Flames are 1 of the best teams in the West and have been winning a lot of games lately against good opposing teams. The Golden Knights have been winning games lately but they have been playing teams like the Coyotes, Canucks, Kraken, and Blackhawks in their previous 7 games without seeing another opposing team during that time. All of those teams except for the Canucks are out of playoff contention already and the Canucks were the team they lost to twice during that time. They are going to be no match in this road game against the Flames on home ice. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flames. |

T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Wednesday. The Canadiens have lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked great in a lot of their games lately but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They just lost 2 big games in a row that they are going to be looking to get back here, 1 was a road loss against the Leafs and the other was a home loss to the Jets 4-2 in a game they trailed for a good majority. I think the Canadiens are going to have a bit of pride here and play a good game. The Blue Jackets haven't looked great themselves anyway and they have been struggling all year just like the Canadiens. The Blue Jackets have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but those have also been their only 2 wins in their previous 10 games. They have also looked terrible in their home games lately with both of those wins coming in road games and they have actually lost 3 home games in a row now. Even their last win wasn't that great since they had to go to OT to win it against the Red Wings who have also struggled this year, and they blew a 4-2 lead in the last 10 mins of that game to send it to OT when they should've just won it regulation. I think the Canadiens can take advantage of another struggling team here and I like them to win this game and bounce back from their previous 2 losses. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. |

T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers in this game on Tuesday. The Hurricanes have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on a roll here and win over the Rangers. They just won their most recent game bouncing back from a bad loss at home by 1 goal in their game before. They have still won 2/3 of their previous 3 games though and they have won both of those games by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in their division at the moment but they are trying to fend off the Rangers here who can tie them in points with a win. I think the Hurricanes are going to step up their game here to make sure that doesn't happen. The Hurricanes have scored a lot of goals in their 3 most recent games but they haven't been giving up many goals either and I think that is going to be key here. The Rangers have had issues with scoring goals at full strength and I think the Hurricanes will be disciplined here to not give the Rangers any chances to catch their breath. The Rangers have also looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against teams who have already been eliminated from the playoffs and I think they are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here. The Hurricanes have been getting hot in the scoring department and I think their ability to score goals at even strength is what is going to set them apart in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. |

04-11-22 | Jets v. Canadiens +125 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The Canadiens have been one of the worst teams in the league all year and they are in last place in the East at the moment but they haven't looked terrible in their games lately. They have won 2/4 of their previous 4 games and 1 was a nice OT win over the Lightning in a road game while the other was another road win 7-4 over the Devils. They did have 1 bad loss in there to the Senators but their most recent loss was actually a close game with their rival team, the Leafs, and they only lost that game by 1 goal and had a chance to win it for most of the game. I think the Canadiens are going to be looking for another win here and they really have nothing left to play for but pride and that is a big thing when you play for the Canadiens. They also have some rest for this game and I think that is going to play a factor here too. The Jets are playing on a B2B here after winning a road game in Ottawa by 1 goal. The Jets haven't been great lately though and that win actually broke them out of a funk where they had lost 4 games in a row. The Jets still have a slight chance to make the playoffs in a Wild Card spot but it is looking really bleak for them and the Canadiens have a chance to add another dagger to their year here. I think the Jets are going to struggle in this road game on the B2B with how bad they have looked lately and I like the Canadiens to bounce back after a tough loss to the Leafs. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Canadiens. |

04-10-22 | Stars v. Blackhawks +140 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great lately with 6 losses in a row but they haven't really been getting blown out in a lot of those losses either. They lost 3 of those games by just 1 goal and I think they can bounce back here on home ice and break out of their funk a bit with a win. They were shut out on home ice in their most recent game and they were shut out by the Kraken who are 2nd to last in the West. That is a really embarrassing loss for them on home ice and I think their pride will come out in this game leading them to score more goals. I expect a much harder effort from them in this game after a game where they were shut out and especially after the team they were shut out by. The Stars haven't looked great lately either and I think the Blackhawks are catching them in a good spot here. The Stars have lost 2 games in a row and are on a B2B here in a road game right after losing on home ice to the Devils the day before. They have had some bad losses lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games and 2 of those losses coming against some of the worst teams in the league. I think the Stars have fallen into a bit of a funk at the moment and I see them continuing to struggle in this game with an angry Blackhawks team coming at them here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blackhawks. |

04-08-22 | Wild v. Blues -101 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild in this game on Friday. The Blues have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row now and they have only lost 1 time in their previous 6 games. They have looked really good too with all 3 of their wins in a row coming by 2+ goals and I think they can carry over their momentum here and get another win over the Wild who have been very good this year. The Blues have been putting pucks in the net though and they have scored 9 goals in their 2 most recent games alone. They have also had some great goaltending in those games since they only gave up 1 goal in each. The Wild were on a huge run just over a week ago but once it was snapped they have struggled to get back on that pace. They just won 2 games in a row but their most recent game was a 6-2 loss to the Predators and the Wild didn't look good in that game at all. That is their 2nd loss in their previous 2 games and they are starting to look a bit shaky with their play. I think they are going to struggle again here in this road game and the Blues have also been really good on home ice lately too. I think the Blues have been hotter lately and I see them getting the win on their home ice here where they have looked great in their most recent games lately. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Blues. |

04-04-22 | Flames v. Kings +161 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Monday. The Kings have started to look a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now, including a 3-2 win in Calgary in a shootout the other night. Now the Kings are going to be on home ice here and I think they can continue on their streak here, adding another win over the Flames. The Kings have put together a great year so far and they are in 2nd place of their division at the moment, just 3 points behind the Flames in 1st. The Flames were very hot about a week ago, putting together a very nice run but they have slipped into a bit of a slump now and I think the Kings can take advantage of them here. The Flames have lost 3 games in a row now and all 3 of those losses were on home ice too. They haven't been able to score many goals in their previous 3 games and it wasn't until their most recent game where they finally scored 4 goals, but it didn't matter in the end since they gave up 6 goals anyway. The Kings haven't given up more than 2 goals in their previous 2 games and I think with the Flames already struggling to score goals lately, they are going to have a very difficult time scoring on the Kings here. They also played their previous 2 games in road games and I think the Kings will play even better defense here now that they are back on home ice. I expect them to keep the Flames out of their net here and come out with the win. The Flames have already slipped into a mini slump and I think they are going to continue on that losing skid. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Kings. |

04-03-22 | Wild v. Capitals -120 | 5-1 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. The Capitals just lost their most recent game on home ice and it was a bad game losing 6-1 to the Hurricanes. That game was last Monday though and they have had a week to sit on that loss and rest up for this game. I think the rest can only benefit a team like Washington, especially with older players such as Ovechkin, and I expect them to come out angry in this game looking to bounce back with a win. They should have some fire in them for this game after sitting a loss that bad for a week and the loss came on home ice too, which makes it even more important that they get that win back on home ice here. The Capitals haven't been terrible lately though, they actually won 2 games in a row before that loss in their most recent game and they were scoring goals too, scoring 4 goals in both of those games. The Wild are in a tough spot here and I think this is a bit of a let down game for them for their schedule lately. The Wild had 7 wins in a row before Pittsburgh ended that the other night but the Wild bounced back with a win in Carolina 3-1 on Saturday but now have to play on a B2B in Washington here. I think that win over the Hurricanes took a lot of energy out of them, to beat a good team like that in a road game and with the great defensive effort that they put into that game to keep the Hurricanes high flying offense to 1 goal. I think the Wild are going to be a bit tired here and with all of that travel, the Capitals have a huge advantage since they have been sitting at home for a week waiting for the Wild to come in to town. I think the Capitals will bounce back here after that bad loss. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Capitals. |

04-02-22 | Penguins v. Avalanche -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche. I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The Avalanche have won 2 games in a row now but they have also looked really good in their games lately, stretching back over their previous 9. They have been racking up a lot of wins during this time and they have been winning a lot of those games by 2+ goals too. Their only loss over their previous 4 games was against the Wild in OT, losing that game 3-2 but the Wild have the 2nd most points in the West this year behind the Avalanche. The Avalanche just won their most recent game on home ice 4-2 over the Sharks but they beat the Flames in a road game right before beating the Sharks and the Flames are 1st place in their division in the West. The Avalanche are the best team in the league at the moment with the most points and they are also the only team with 100+ points this year. I think they are going to have no issues taking down the Penguins on home ice here and I expect them to win by a few goals since they have been really hot lately. The Penguins haven't looked great in their games lately, they did win their most recent game over the Wild who are really good this year, but they have only won 2/5 of their previous 5 games and their other win was an 11-2 destruction of 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, the Red Wings. The Penguins have 2 losses to the Rangers and 1 loss to the Sabres during that time and this has been an issue for the penguins lately, being unable to win many games against some of the better teams in the league. Even in their most recent game where they won over the Wild, they won 4-3 in OT and they even had a 3-1 lead in that game which they blew. This has been a common theme for the Penguins lately since they have struggled against the better teams in the league and I think they are going to have a tough time here in a road game against the best team in the league. The Avalanche have shown time and time again that they can compete with the best in the league and have been racking up many wins over good teams lately. I like the Avalanche to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. |
|||||||
04-01-22 | Blues v. Oilers -145 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday. The Oilers have looked a lot better lately and they have won 2 games in a row now after getting beaten down 9-5 by the Flames last weekend. Despite that loss, they have still won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they have scored 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They just beat the Kings in a shootout in their most recent game but they are on home ice again here and the Blues haven't been great lately. I think the Oilers are going to be motivated to keep on their run here and win another game making it 3 in a row. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now but both of those wins were against the same team, the Canucks, and the Canucks aren't really 1 of the top teams this season, they aren't even on course to make the playoffs this year. The Blues actually lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games before those 2 wins and I think they are going to revert back to that play here against a much better team. Both of these teams are still fighting to keep their playoff spots but I think the Blues have been looking shaky lately while the Oilers have been trying to get hot with a lot more wins lately. I see there being a lot of goals here but I think the Oilers offense has been rolling lately and I expect them to stay hot while the Blues have shown to have scoring troubles in some of their games lately. I like the Oilers to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. |
|||||||
03-30-22 | Blues v. Canucks -103 | 4-3 | Loss | -103 | 17 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The Canucks haven't looked great lately but they haven't looked terrible in their games either and I think they are going to come for their revenge in this game. They have lost a majority of their previous 5 games but they still have 2 wins during that time and they haven't been losing badly in their games either since 2 of their losses went to OT. Their defense has been pretty good in their games, they have slipped a bit in their losses but they have only allowed 1 goal in each of their previous 2 wins. They just lost their most recent game to the Blues too, losing that game 4-1 but I think the Canucks have looked better lately and will find a way to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was in a road game but this game is back on their home ice so i expect them to play a better game and keep the Blues out of their net more here. The Blues haven't looked great in their games lately either, they just beat the Canucks in their most recent game but before winning that game they were on a run where they won 1/6 of their previous 6 games before that win against the Canucks. The Blues have been getting decimated too since their 2 most recent losses both came on home ice by 3+ goals. I think the Blues got their win the other night and are going to go back to how they have been playing in their games lately while the Canucks have been much better in their games lately and I expect them to bounce back here and get that win against the Blues back. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. |

03-29-22 | Islanders -130 v. Blue Jackets | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Islanders have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have looked good in a lot of their games lately but they didn't look good at all in their most recent game, losing to the Lightning on home ice 4-1. I expect the Islanders to play better on the defensive end in this game with it being a road game and I think they will have an easier time keeping pucks out of their net against the Blue Jackets here. The Jackets haven't looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing badly here. They have lost 3 games in a row and only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately or with their goaltending since they have given up 3+ goals in 5 games in a row, and most of those games they actually gave up 4+ goals. I think the Islanders won't have any issues scoring goals on the Jackets here with how bad they have been lately. The Jackets almost won in Minnesota against the Wild in their most recent game, they had a 2-1 lead for most of the game but they blew their lead late, giving up the tying goal, and they managed to find a way to lose the game in OT. The Jackets have had a very bad season this year and I think their troubles are going to continue in this game. I can't trust a team that just collapsed with a late lead in the most important time of the game. I like the Islanders to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. |

03-27-22 | Panthers v. Maple Leafs -110 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Leafs haven't looked good in their games lately with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games and they just lost their most recent game to their rival team, the Canadiens, and that is a loss that has to sting to them since they are not only rivals but Montreal is also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. They took a 1-0 lead in that game and then played from behind the rest of the way but I think they are due for a bounce back win here after that bad loss. The Panthers have won 3 games in a row now but they haven't even looked that great in their games. They escaped Montreal with a tight 4-3 win and then they went to Ottawa in their most recent game and won again 4-3 but in a shootout this time. The Panthers were trailing for that entire game, they went down 2-0 very early in the game and fought back but again went down 3-2 and the game stayed like that until very late. The Panthers had to pull their goalie and tie the game like that in the final minutes just to force OT and even in the OT they had to play shorthanded because of their issues with discipline in that game. They ended up winning that game in a shootout with 1 goal after the Senators missed all 3 of their shots but that game was too close and too many miracles had to happen in that game for them to win it. They haven't looked good lately and after that performance in Ottawa, I think the Leafs will get the win here. The Leafs are going to be angry from their loss to the Canadiens and they will be looking to take out that anger on the Panthers here on home ice. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Leafs. |

03-26-22 | Blue Jackets +220 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Blue Jackets have lost 2 games in a row now but their most recent game was a very close loss in OT in a road game against the Jets and I think the Jackets can bounce back here after that game. They were down early in that game but they kept fight back and managed to force OT where they lost but I still think they looked good in that game and I expect them to carry that play over into this game here to try and get a win. This is the last game of a road trip and after losing their other 2 games in a row now, I expect the Jackets to play at their best here and try to get a win so they don't go home empty handed with no points. The Wild have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked really good in a lot of those games but they looked more shaky in their most recent game and I think it's time for them to drop a game here. Their goaltending has been great and they haven't given up many goals in their games lately but the Canucks forced OT in their most recent game and the Wild had a late lead in that game too but slipped up on defense and gave up the tying goal. I think their little run here is coming to an end and I think the Jackets will have the motivation to hand them a loss here. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. |

03-24-22 | Lightning +105 v. Bruins | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The Lightning haven't looked good in their games lately with 2 losses in a row now but I think they can bounce back with a win here. Their 2 most recent games were both losses by 1 goal but they also played some of the hottest teams in the league at the moment with a 2-1 loss to the Rangers and a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes. They just started a road trip with that game against the Hurricanes and are already off to a bad start, I expect them to play a lot better here and try to bounce back from that loss. The Bruins have looked really good lately winning 2 games in a row now but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They haven't looked great in those games though, they have been winning a lot of games but all of those wins during that time except for 1 were only by 1 goal. Their most recent game was even a win over the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the East, and they had to go to OT to get that win. I think the Bruins have been losing momentum with their wins lately and most of those wins lately have also come against some of the worst teams in the league. They got 4 of their wins over the Coyotes, Canadiens, and 2 against the Blackhawks during that run. The teams they have faced have not been strong at all and they aren't even winning their games by impressive margins but are instead just sneaking out of the games with 1 goal wins. I think the Bruins are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here with 1 of the best teams in the league and they are going to be getting them after a few losses so they will be even more dangerous looking for a win to break out of their funk. I like the Lightning to end their losing skid as of late and win this game over the Bruins. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Lightning. |

03-23-22 | Blackhawks +120 v. Ducks | 4-2 | Win | 120 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great in their games lately but I think they can get a bounce back win here. They have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't been getting destroyed in these games and they have even been keeping some of them within 1 goal. They have looked a lot better on home ice and they have even won 2/3 of their previous 3 home games. They just lost a game at home to the Jets but the Jets have been hot lately and the Blackhawks still scored 4 goals in that game. I think they will continue their scoring run here and put a few pucks in the net here. The Ducks haven't looked great lately either and they have been even worse than the Blackhawks have been. The Ducks have lost 7 games in a row and their 2 most recent games have been really bad. They lost both games on home ice by 3 goals and they didn't even score a goal in 1 of those games too. I don't see them playing any better here when the Blackhawks have been staying competitive in their games still while the Ducks have been getting destroyed out there. I think the Ducks are going to continue their slump with another loss here and the Blackhawks should have no issues in this game scoring with how bad the Ducks have looked on defense lately. I expect the Blackhawks to score a bunch on the Ducks here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Blackhawks. |

03-22-22 | Blues v. Capitals -135 | 5-2 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the St Louis Blues on Tuesday. The Capitals have looked really good lately and I think they are going to continue on their hot run here. They just lost in their most recent game by 1 goal to the Stars and that loss ended a 4 game run of wins that they were on. They had been grinding out some OT wins during that time and they finally ended up losing a game but I think they can bounce back here and win over the Blues on their home ice. The Capitals have looked really good in home games this year and they had won 3 games in a row on their home ice before taking that loss in their most recent game. Scoring hasn't been an issue for them either and that loss was also the 1st game that they didn't score 4+ in their previous 5 games. The Blues have not looked good lately and they have been on a huge losing skid. They have lost 3 games in a row now but they also have losses in 7/9 of their previous 9 games. The Blues have given up a lot of goals in their previous 3 losses too and I think that is going to hurt them in this game. The Capitals have been scoring goals in their games with no issues and if the Blues defense continues to play the way they have lately, then the Blues won't be able to slow down the offense of the Capitals here. Ovechkin has been breaking records this year and he has his sights set on goals much higher than what he has already accomplished. I think he is going to lead his team to another win here and his team will continue to surge, taking advantage of a slumping Blues team. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals. |

03-21-22 | Predators v. Ducks +145 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks. I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Monday. The Ducks haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will get a win here and break out of their funk. They have lost 6 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have been coming close in their previous 4 games, losing 3 of them by 1 goal with 1 going to OT and the other ending in a shootout. They were shut out in their most recent game, losing 3-0 to the Panthers, but the Panthers are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They also played the Rangers right before that who are also a very good team this year so I think the Ducks have had a rough time lately due to their schedule but I expect them to get a win here against the Predators who aren't as good as the other teams they have seen lately. They also lost to the Predators 4-1 on March 10th and that was 1 of the 1st games in their losing skid so I think they are going to remember that road loss and return the favor here now that they are back on their home ice. The Predators have also looked good lately with wins in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They have taken down some good teams during that time though and they have been scoring a ton of goals in the process. They have scored 4+ goals in 6 games in a row but scoring that many goals for that many games is only sustainable for so long. I think they will be tired in this game and I expect their scoring to dry up a bit here. I think the Ducks will be able to keep the Predators out of their net in this game and I expect them to get their revenge for that loss less than 2 weeks ago. I like the Ducks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Ducks. |

03-20-22 | Islanders -140 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. The Islanders have looked really good in their games lately and I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and get another win with how good they have been looking lately. They have won 2 games in a row but they also have wins in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have looked great on defense in those games and they have given up more than 2 goals in a game in 2/6 of those games. They have only given up 3 goals in their 2 most recent games and they have scored double that during that time. They just won their most recent game over the Stars 4-2 on Saturday and they are on a B2B here but I think that could help them stay warmed up and come out better in this game. The Flyers have been terrible all year and they haven't looked any better as of late. They have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have lost some bad games to some bad teams during that time. Their 2 most recent losses were to the Canadiens and the Senators and those are both some of the worst teams in the league this year. The Flyers haven't played since Friday either and with this being an afternoon start for them, they could come out slow and sluggish in this game and I think the Islander would take advantage of that situation and jump out to an early lead. The big problem for the Islanders all year was their defense but now it is looking a lot better and I think the Flyers will have issues trying to score on them. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. |

03-18-22 | Capitals v. Hurricanes -150 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -150 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Friday. The Hurricanes were looking great with 4 wins in a row but they have stumbled a bit in their games lately and have lost 2 in a row now. Both of their losses came in road games, 4-2 to the Penguins and 3-2 to the Leafs, but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. This game is a B2B for them but I think that can help them out here coming off that loss and I expect them to step up their game and play better on home ice this time. They have still scored 2 goals in both games so scoring hasn't been an issue for them and I think they will score even more goals being on home ice for this game. The Capitals have won 3 games in a row and they have looked good in those games but I also think they have been slipping a bit lately. They have been playing in really close games lately with 3/4 of their previous 4 games going into OT, including 2/3 of their previous 3 wins. They have also won 3/4 of their previous 4 games by just 1 goal. Their most recent game was a win over the Blue Jackets but the Capitals are also on a B2B here and I think they might be a bit tired after scoring 7 goals in their previous game. The Hurricanes have better goaltending than the Blue Jackets do and their defense is also a lot better, the Capitals won't score that many on them here and they will actually struggle to score on them at all in this game. I think the Hurricanes have been way better over the course of the year and I expect them to get another win on home ice here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The Blues have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just broke out of a funk they were in with 2 wins in a row but they lost their most recent game in a close game to the Jets, losing in OT 4-3. I think the Blues are going to bounce back on their home ice here and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too which I think will help them get the win here. The Penguins have been very up and down in their games lately, winning 2 in a row then losing 2 in a row and so on over their past few games. They just lost their most recent game after winning 2 games in a row and they struggled to pucks in the net in that game. They looked good when they were at home but they only scored 1 goal in their most recent game, the 1st game of a road trip for them too. They have had some issues scoring in road games lately too, only scoring 3 goals in their 2 most recent road games. The Blues have been hot lately and scoring is one thing that they are doing great at the moment. I think they will be eager to bounce back here on home ice after a close loss in OT that was also on home ice, and I expect the Penguins' scoring issues in road games to creep up once again here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blues. |

03-13-22 | Hurricanes +110 v. Penguins | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good lately and have been starting to roll over teams again winning 4 games in a row now. Their 4 game run here started with a 3-2 win in OT against the Penguins over a week ago but they have been getting a lot hotter as they play their games and their 2 most recent wins were both by 2+ goals. Their goaltending has been outstanding lately too since they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 previous games. The Hurricanes already beat the Penguins at home over a week ago and I think they can do it again in this road game. The Penguins haven't looked that great in their games lately, they have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They just won their most recent game against the Knights but just before that they have losses to the Hurricanes and the Panthers, both 2 of the best teams in the league. The Hurricanes are the best in the East at the moment with the most points and I think the Penguins are going to struggle here like they have against some of the better teams in the league. The Hurricanes have already won 4 games in a row and they are a very tough team to stop once they get hot and rolling in their games. I think the Hurricanes are going to continue to roll in this game and beat the Penguins here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

03-12-22 | Kings -130 v. Sharks | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Kings have looked really good in their games lately, they are the 4th best team in the West at the moment and the Sharks have not had a good year at all. The Kings had won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that loss came on home ice to the Sharks here. That game was 2 days ago on Thursday and the Kings lost on home ice in OT 4-3 too, so that loss is still freshly imprinted in their minds. I think the Kings are going to be looking for their revenge here and I expect them to get it and bounce back in this game since they are the better team. These teams are rivals and it would make no sense at all if the Sharks were to win B2B against the Kings with the year they have been having. The Kings aren't on their home ice in this game but they are revenging the loss from their home ice and what sweeter way to get revenge than to win in a road game in front of all the Sharks fans. The Sharks have looked terrible in their games lately anyway. The Sharks had lost 3 games in a row before winning against the Kings in their most recent game and they even had to drag them into OT just to get the win. The Kings actually had a lead for most of that game too and they let it go in the 3rd but I think they will make sure not to let that happen again here so I see them playing better on defense in this game. I think this is a huge revenge spot for the Kings and I expect them to bounce back with a win here. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings. |

03-11-22 | Jets v. Islanders -125 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. The Islanders are back on their home ice again for another game on Friday night and this is right after picking up a 6-0 win on home ice the night before over the Blue Jackets. The Islanders looked great in that game and I think they can carry over that momentum on this B2B and play another great game here. That is their 2nd win in their previous 3 games and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too. They have scored 10 goals in their 2 most recent games alone and I think it is going to be very tough for the Jets to stop this red hot offense at the moment. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but even in the game they lost 5-4, they were tied 1-1 up until the 3rd and then they still made a comeback after going down 5-1 in the 1st 10 mins of that 3rd period. I think they have looked great lately and this is not a team to jump in front of and get run over by at the moment. The Jets have won 2 games in a row now but they are a better team on their home ice and they just won a very shaky game in their most recent game. They just scraped by the Devils in their most recent game winning 2-1 in a road game and they even held onto that lead for half of the game. The Jets have not been scoring a lot lately and they will have an even tougher time scoring on the Islanders who have finally found their defense lately. The Islanders have also been scoring a ton and the Jets will not be able to hold them off with how the Islanders have looked lately. The Islanders are going to continue their run here and win this game on home ice. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Islanders. |

03-10-22 | Avalanche v. Hurricanes +103 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 103 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue surging in this game too. They have won 7/9 of their previous 9 games and they have been finding ways to grind out all the close games too. A lot of their wins have been closer games, including their 2 most recent games where they won both by a score of 3-2. They are on their home ice here though and they have looked even better in those games and have won 5 home games in a row now. I expect them to make it 6 in a row here, especially when the Avalanche haven't looked good on defense lately and have been collapsing in their games. The Avalanche have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they haven't looked good in any of these games. They have a loss to the Coyotes which is a very bad look for them and they even lost a close OT game on their home ice to the Flames. They bounced back with a 5-4 win over the Islanders in their next game but that game exposed a lot of their flaws on defense. That was a 1-1 game going into the 3rd period and then it was 5-1 before the halfway point of that period. The game ended 5-4 which means the Avalanche let the Islanders score 3 goals in the last 10 mins of that game to almost catch up and tie it. That was not the only game this has been a problem in though. Right after the game where they almost blew that 5-1 lead, they played their most recent game and they took an early 3-0 lead over the Devils in that game. Once again, the Avalanche blew that lead and ended up losing the game 5-3 this time. These previous games have exposed the holes in their defense and they are going to be in trouble if they don't fix this problem. The Hurricanes have a very good offense and they are going to score goals on their home ice in this game, especially with the way that defense has looked. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

03-08-22 | Panthers v. Penguins -110 | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The Penguins have looked good in their games lately and I think they can get a win here on home ice. They just won 3 games in a row where they didn't give up more than 2 goals in any of their games but they just lost in their most recent game. That loss was against the Hurricanes at the end of a road trip for the Penguins and they lost the game in OT 3-2. That game was also on Friday so the Penguins have had a lot of time to rest for this game and I think after such a close loss in OT to a very good team, they will be looking to bounce back on home ice here with a win. They are catching the Panthers on a B2B here too and the panthers have won 3 games in a row but all of those wins were against some of the bad teams in the league. The Panthers have been cruising in their games too but I think they will be met with a lot more resistance in this game and the Penguins will put up a very good fight on home ice here. I expect the Panthers to be tired from all the travel along with their B2B here and I think they will come out sluggish in this game. I expect the Penguins to take advantage of the situation here and steal a win on home ice from the Panthers. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Penguins. |
|||||||
03-06-22 | Rangers v. Jets -110 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Jets have looked good in their games lately winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. Both wins were by 2+ goals but they lost their most recent game on home ice to the Stars. The Stars beat them in OT 4-3 in that game but the Jets were trailing for most of the game despite fight so hard to come back and almost win. They still looked good in that game and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game after a close loss like that on home ice. The Rangers have looked good in their games lately too winning 2 games in a row now but they have had their own issues in road games this year. They have been playing a lot of home games lately with only 4 road games over the last 6 weeks and I think this is a game they are going to struggle in. The Rangers have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 road games and all of those losses were either by 2+ goals or they were shut out in the game. The Rangers have had issues scoring goals in their road games and this has been a recurring theme for them all year. I think they won't put a lot of pucks in the net in this game and the Jets have been scoring a ton of goals lately. I expect the Jets to outscore the Rangers here on their home ice and take this win. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Jets. |

03-05-22 | Blackhawks v. Flyers -115 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. The Flyers have been terrible lately, they are in a huge slump and they have not been able to break out of their funk. They have lost 2 games in a row now but they have actually lost 8/9 of their previous 9 games. They have been starting to play better though and I think that this will be the game where they break out of their funk and at least get another win. They have been keeping their games close lately, they do have 1 win in their previous 3 games and their most recent game played was a loss on home ice to the Wild but they came close only losing that game by 1 goal. They even had a lead going into the 3rd period but they let in 2 goals and blew their lead in those final 20 minutes. I think they will be upset over that game and I expect them to to tighten up on defense here to make sure that doesn't happen again. I think they will bounce back with a win here on home ice. The Blackhawks haven't been great this year either, they have been a bit better than the Flyers but not in their road games and they have been very up and down lately. They have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 4 games but they have also lost 4/6 of their previous 6. They were shut out on home ice by the Blues and they responded to that loss with a win in their most recent game over the Oilers but they won that game 4-3 in OT and I think they are going to fall flat on their face in this road game. This is a sandwich game for them since it is their only road game in between 2 home stretches and I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. I like the Flyers to bounce back with a win in this game and break out of their recent slump a bit. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flyers. |
|||||||
03-04-22 | Kings v. Blue Jackets +140 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Jackets just won their most recent game against the Devils but they had lost 2 games in a row before that. They have been a very different team on home ice though and they have picked up 3 wins in their previous 4 home games. They have been scoring more goals in their home games lately and I think that will be important for them to get the win in this game. Their previous 3 home wins they scored 4 goals in all of those games. They are running into the Kings at a good time too since they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are starting to enter a bit of a slump. They lost in a road game in their most recent game and they were even shut out in a bad 7-0 loss on home ice right before their most recent loss. The Kings have looked really good for a while but now they have been slipping up a bit and I think they have been performing better than they should be anyway. I expect the Kings to lose some more games now and drop down the standings more and I think the Blue Jackets can deliver another loss to them, extending their losing skid. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. |

03-03-22 | Bruins -107 v. Golden Knights | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins. I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Bruins have really been hitting their stride lately and have looked really good in their games. They had won 5 games in a row before losing their most recent game to the Ducks in a close game, losing 4-3. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game and they have looked great lately, even winning a lot of their games by 2+ goals. Vegas has not looked as good in their games lately, they just won their most recent game but had lost 2 in a row before that and they have been really up and down lately. They have only won 2/7 games of their previous 7 and they are really slumping at the moment. The Golden Knights have been losing a lot lately and they haven't even had a tough schedule either. They have played against the Coyotes and the Sharks in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and both of those teams have been very bad all year. The Golden Knights had the 1st place spot in their division for a while but they have been free falling and now occupy the 3rd place spot. The Bruins have been surging lately and they still have a lot of work to do since they play in a very competitive division where they are 6 points behind 3rd place. I think the Bruins are going to continue their hot streak lately and they will bounce back in this game. I like the Bruins to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Bruins. |
|||||||
03-02-22 | Kings v. Stars -135 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars. I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the LA Kings on Wednesday. The Stars were just in a bit of a rough patch lately but I think they have broken out of it with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games. They have won 2 games in a row on home ice now and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this game. The Stars are trying to work their way into a playoff spot since they are in a very competitive division but I think they can start stringing some wins together here and put together a bit of a run themselves. The Kings have been having a great year since they are in 2nd place of their division but they haven't looked good lately and I think the Stars can take advantage of them in their current slump. The Kings won 5 games in a row but their schedule was on the weaker side during that time and it really showed in their most recent game when they were destroyed by the Bruins on their own home ice 7-0. I think they are running into a wall in this game with the Stars who have been really good on home ice and they can score a ton of goals in their games when needed. They just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think the Kings are going to be in trouble after that terrible performance by their goalie. That can't even be fully pinned on him though since their defense was also terrible and I think the Stars are going to find the back of the net quite easily here. I like the Stars to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars. |

03-01-22 | Flames v. Wild -105 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Wild. I like the Minnesota Wild to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. This is a big revenge game for the Wild here and I think they are going to answer the call with a better performance and win this game. They haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row but it was their most recent loss that was embarrassing and I think they will be looking to bounce back here from it. They lost in Calgary on Saturday 7-3 and they have been sitting on that loss for a few days now. It was the most recent game that they played too so I think it will still be fresh in their minds and I expect them to have it out for the Flames in this game. The Wild are on their home ice this time too and I expect them to play a lot better here after winning the 1st game of their road trip and them losing 3 in a row after that. The Flames have been very hot lately but I think they are starting to cool off and this is the perfect time for the Wild to pounce on them. The Flames just had their 10 game win streak ended by a 7-1 loss to the Canucks and that 7-3 win over the Wild in their most recent game was in response to that 7-1 loss. I think they've lost a lot of their momentum from that win streak though and I think they won't come out with the same energy and intensity in this game. That 7-1 loss to the Canucks was also their most recent road game. The Flames ended that 10 game win streak with 7 games in a row on home ice and 8/9 of their previous 9 games have also been on home ice for them, all 8 of those being wins while the 1 loss was the road game. I think they are going to be at a disadvantage here going on the road after so many home games in a row and they have already shown that to be true in their loss to the Canucks. I don't like this spot for the Flames and I think the Wild are going to come with extra motivation to win this game. I like the Wild to win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Wild. |

02-28-22 | Canucks +105 v. Devils | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Canucks have won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games. They have won all 3 games by 3+ goals but both their offense and defense has been great in all of those games. They haven't given up more than 2 goals in 3 games in a row but they have scored 5+ goals in all of those games. That run extends further back though, they have scored 4+ goals in 5 games in a row now and I think they will keep it up in this game. Their defense has been great lately but that was a problem that they really fixed after firing their coach midway through the season. They have looked a lot better since then though and now their offense is waking up too. The Devils have also been scoring a lot lately but their defense hasn't been as good as the Canucks defense has been and the Devils just lost their most recent game to the bad Blackhawks who have been terrible this year yet managed to put in 8 goals on the Devils. This has been a common theme for them lately since there are plenty of other games they have played as of late where they have given up a ton of goals in. I think the Canucks are hot and the Devils are not going to be able to stop them here with how good the Canucks have looked lately and how bad the Devils have. I think the Canucks are going to skate all over the Devils in this game and score a ton of goals on them while keeping the Devils out with that great defensive effort. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Canucks. |

02-27-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks -125 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Jose Sharks. I like the San Jose Sharks to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday. The Sharks haven't looked good at all in their games lately but I think they can get a win here over a team that is just as bad as they are this year. The Sharks have won 1 time in their previous 9 games but I think it is time for them to break out of that funk a bit and win this game. They have started to look better in their games lately. They lost a road game in a shootout to the Ducks and then won a game in a shootout on home ice over the Islanders right after that loss but now they have lost again in their most recent game. They lost 3-1 on home ice to the Bruins but the Kraken are nowhere near as good as the Bruins are and I think the Sharks can get a win over them on home ice here. The Kraken is the only team in the same division as the Sharks that is actually lower than the Sharks in the standings, and the Sharks have a 15 point lead over the Kraken. The Kraken have also looked terrible lately, losing 6 games in a row now and most of those losses were by 2+ goals. They just took the Bruins to OT in their most recent game where they lost 3-2 on home ice but the Kraken have been a completely different team on home ice this year and they have won a majority of their games there. They have been terrible in their road games though and I think the Sharks can take advantage of that to get a win against them here. I like the Sharks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Sharks. |

02-26-22 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights +120 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Vegas hasn't looked good in their games lately, they only have 1/5 wins in their previous 5 games but I think it is time for them to snap out of their funk. They just lost their most recent game to the Coyotes and that is not a good look on them at all. I think they are going to be really upset from that loss and I expect them to take out their anger on the Avalanche here. They actually lost 1 of those 4 losses in their previous 5 games to the Avalanche on home ice and they were shut out in that game. I think they are going to remember that game and I expect them to be motivated after getting shut out last time to score some goals and win this game. They have a chance for redemption here since they will be on home ice again and they didn't even play that bad in their previous meeting. That game was 0-0 up until the 3rd period when the Avalanche scored an early goal in the 1st 2 minutes of that period and that ended up being the game winner. I think Vegas will give a better performance in this game though. The Avalanche have been very hot lately with 4 wins in their previous 5 games and I think that is even more motivation for Vegas to play hard and try to add another loss onto Colorado's run. The Avalanche are also leading the West at the moment and they have that lead by 12 points over the 2nd place team. I think Vegas is coming for them tonight and will have the extra motivation in this game to knock them down a few pegs. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Golden Knights. |

02-25-22 | Kings v. Ducks -102 | 4-1 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks. I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Ducks have won 2 games in a row and I think they can extend that run to 3 games here. They have been scoring a lot of goals lately and I think they will do the same as they start to gain some momentum playing on home ice after coming back from a road trip. The Kings are also on a road trip here and they have won 3 games in a row, all 3 games of their road trip. This is the last road game for them before returning home and with the game being so close to home I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. They did not look good in their 3 wins and they must be exhausted from playing those games. They won their 1st game in Vegas going past regulation to get that win. Then they played the Coyotes in Arizona 2 games in a row and they did not look that impressive, winning 1 of those 5-3 but their most recent game was 3-2 and they came from behind in that game. I think the Kings are going to be out of gas here and the Ducks should be able to take advantage of that on their home ice. I like the Ducks to win this game and end the run the Kings are on. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Ducks. |
|||||||
02-24-22 | Stars v. Predators -143 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators. I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. The Predators haven't looked lately but they just broke out of a big funk with a win in their most recent game. They beat the Panthers 6-4 in a road game and I think they can start to gain some momentum into this game now that they have won a game and ended their losing skid. They are back on home ice for this game and I expect them to be fired up to play here. They are just 4 points above the Stars in the Standings so this is a huge game for both teams since a win for the Stars inches them closer while a win for the Preds allows them to pull away more. They have looked pretty good on their home ice this year and they haven't lost a game on home ice that went past regulation. The Stars actually have a road record below .500 this year and they have looked really shaky in their games lately. They have won 3/5 games of their previous 5 but only 1 of those wins was impressive. During that time, they lost 2 games, 1 of those games was against the Coyotes where they only scored 1 goal and the other was a loss to the Avalanche where they were shut out. They also had 3 wins during that time but only 1 was impressive and that was because it was a revenge game right after they had been shut out their game before by the Avalanche. Their other 2 wins were against the Jets and the Blackhawks, who are both below the Stars in the standings, and they had to go past regulation to win both of those games. I don't like the way the Stars have looked lately, just getting by barely in a lot of these games tells me that they have a losing skid coming their way and I think it is time for them to fizzle out a bit here. The Preds have already served their time, just breaking out of a losing skid now and I think they will play hard here on home ice to maintain their lead over the Stars in the standings. I think they have looked a lot better lately and I expect them to win this game on home ice. I like the Predators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Predators. |

02-20-22 | Golden Knights -155 v. Sharks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. Vegas has lost 3 games in a row now but I think they can stop the bleeding here and get a win over the Sharks. They were shut out in 2 games in a row but they finally got some goals on the board and scored 3 in their most recent game. They went on to lose in OT to the Kings after blowing a late lead but I think they are going to come to play a lot better after 2 disappointing performances in a row on home ice. The Sharks have been in a huge skid lately losing 5 games in a row and they have only won 1/8 of their previous 8 games. They have already lost 2 in a row at home and I expect them to make it 3 here. The Sharks have a history with Vegas and they have become rivals going all the way back to when Vegas 1st came into the league and these 2 met each other in the playoffs a few times. Vegas will get up for this game and I expect them to be motivated to get the win over the Sharks here knowing the Sharks have been in a huge skid and they can break out of their own funk. The Golden Knights came close to winning the other night but lost it in OT. I think they are going to tighten up on defense here to make sure they don't blow another lead. Vegas is also a lot better than the Sharks just in general, Vegas will be in the playoffs this year and the Sharks will not be. I like Vegas to break out of their funk here and win this game over the Sharks. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Golden Knights. |

02-18-22 | Stars -145 v. Blackhawks | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars. I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. The Stars have looked good lately and they only have the 1 loss in their previous 4 games. That loss was against Avalanche but they got their revenge on them 2 days later, beating them 4-1 in a road game after getting shut out 4-0 by them on home ice in their game before. The Stars responded well in that game and I think they are going to continue playing at a high level here. The Stars have looked ridiculously good in their road games lately winning 5 road games in a row and their 3 most recent road games have all been won by 2+ goals. The Blackhawks have lost 2/3 games of their previous 3 but they have not looked good all year and this season is going to end in failure for them since they have been 1 of the worst teams in the West this year and are 10+ points out of wild card spot, and they have even played more games than most teams in the West. They are on the lower end of the scale when it comes to goals for in the NHL this year but even in the games that they do score a lot of goals in, their defense can't even hang in there for them. Their most recent game was a loss to the Blue Jackets, who aren't going to be a playoff team this year either, but even in a game where they scored 4 goals they gave up 7 to the Jackets, and they have had their own issues with scoring in some of their games this year. The Stars are definitely destined for the playoffs this year, they have a really good team with lots of talent but right now they are on the outside looking in and they need to start stringing some wins together to get in better position. I think the Stars are going to start going on a run here and I like how they have looked in their road games lately. I like the Stars to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars. |

02-17-22 | Canucks -110 v. Sharks | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. The Canucks have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 8 games but they just won their most recent game over the Leafs and I think they should have some momentum after that win, carrying it over into this game. The Canucks held the Leafs to 2 goals in that game and they have looked a lot better on defense lately, keeping more pucks out of their net now than when they under their old coach. The Sharks have had a rough year and they are back near the bottom of the standings where they belong. They haven't looked good lately, losing 4 games in a row and they were just shut out on home ice in their most recent game by the Oilers who haven't been playing that great either. The Sharks have not been able to score goals lately and I think that is going to be a major problem here. They have only scored 3 goals in their previous 3 games and if that's all they can do here then they are not winning this game since the Canucks have looked a lot better defensively in the new year. I don't think the Sharks can score in this game with how bad their offense has been lately and it also doesn't help that they are missing their star on defense Erik Karlsson. I think the Canucks will have no problem scoring goals on the Sharks here and rolling all over them in this road game while the Sharks continue their scoring troubles into this game. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Canucks. |

02-16-22 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -128 | 3-2 | Loss | -128 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. The Hurricanes just lost their most recent game to the Wild 3-2 but they were down 3-0 in that game before making a comeback just to fall short anyway. They haven't been winning many games lately losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games but all 3 of those losses were by 1 goal and I think it is time for them to bounce back here. The Hurricanes are still a top team in the league this year and they have been playing great for most of the year, just hitting a mini slump now. I think they can break out of their funk with a win on home ice over the Panthers though. The Panthers are also 1 of the top teams in the league this year but lately they have not looked good in their road games. They just lost their last game to the Rangers 5-2 and 2/4 of their previous road games have been losses. They even lost 1 of those games to the Kraken who are 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think the Panthers will struggle in this road game against another top team in the league and I think the Hurricanes will be hungry to win after a few close losses by 1 goal. The Hurricanes are too talented to keep losing this many games and it is only a matter of time until they break a game open with their potent scoring offense and get a win going back on a roll. I think that roll can start here with a win on home ice for them against a Panthers team that has had issues in road games lately. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Hurricanes. |

02-15-22 | Bruins v. Rangers -140 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The Rangers have won 2 games in a row and I think they are going to continue winning games with another win on home ice over the Bruins here. The Rangers are in 3rd place in their division but it is a very tight race at the moment and they are clearly 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They should have a lot of confidence since they just won on home ice by 3 goals over the Florida Panthers who really do look to be the best team this year in the league and have the most points in the East. The Bruins are on the outside looking in at the moment for a playoff spot in their division but they have only won 2/5 games in their previous 5. They just won their most recent game 2-0 in Ottawa but the Senators are 1 of the worst teams in the East and that win really isn't impressive at all. When put up against much more respectable teams lately, the Bruins have fallen short with losses to the Hurricanes, Penguins, and Stars. They only lost to the Penguins 4-2 but their other 2 losses were 6-0 and 6-1 against the Hurricanes and Stars and I think they are going to be in for the same here in a road game against the Rangers who are just as good as those 3 teams mentioned before. The Rangers have been rebuilding for years and now that they have a good team that can compete, they have their sights set on nothing less than a Stanley Cup. The Bruins are not the same team that they have been in the past years and they will have a much better and younger team get the best of them here. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Rangers. |

02-14-22 | Oilers -138 v. Sharks | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Monday. The Oilers finally snapped out of their funk lately with a win in their most recent game. They had lost 2 games in a row but just beat the Islanders on home ice 3-1 and their defense was impressive in that game. They looked a lot better overall and I think the Oilers will start to get back on track and win some more games again. The Sharks started the year off strong but they have been slipping in the standings a lot lately and are now in 2nd last place in their division, right above the Kraken. The Sharks have lost 3 games in a row now, all of those losses were by 1 goal but their scoring has dried up a bit lately and I think they aren't going to be able to score on this Oilers defense which looked a lot better in their previous game. The Sharks have actually not been playing well for a while now and they only have 1 win in their previous 6 games. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals in most of those games either and I think that will come back to bite them here. The Oilers looked better on defense in their previous game so I think they can continue that in this game making it difficult for the Sharks to score but they have already been struggling to score goals lately and I think this game could be a recipe for disaster for them. The Oilers will have some confidence after their previous win and I think the frustration is building up for the Sharks losing so many close games lately. These teams are in completely different stages, the Oilers are supposed to be a very good team that belongs in the playoffs every year while the Sharks have been rebuilding and have nowhere near the talent that the Oilers have. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Oilers. |
|||||||
02-13-22 | Sabres v. Canadiens +107 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. The Canadiens have lost 9 games in a row and they are the worst team in the league at the moment. They are the only team in the league that doesn't have 10+ wins yet and the situation has gotten so bad that they just fired their coach. I think this could be the turning point for the team and usually a coaching change will shake things up like when the Canucks fired their head coach earlier this year and have been much improved since then. I think the Canadiens are going to play much better now and I expect them to break out of their funk here on home ice. The Sabres are right above them in the standings and they haven't been having a good year since they are also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Sabres have lost 3 games in a row themselves and they have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their only win coming against the Coyotes who are the worst team in the West. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals in their road games either and they have only scored more than 2 goals in 1/4 of their previous 4 road games. This is also an afternoon start time and I think that will make both teams a bit slow and sluggish to start this game. I expect the Canadiens to be hungry to end their skid here and take advantage of the slumping Sabres off to a slow start. I think this is the best chance for the Canadiens to get a win and start turning the page here on home ice. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. |

02-12-22 | Hurricanes -105 v. Wild | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Hurricanes just lost 2 close games in Canada losing by 1 goal in both games but they bounced back in their most recent game with a 6-0 slaughter of the Bruins in a road game. Now that they have the taste of winning again and are coming off such a strong performance, I think the Hurricanes can start building their win streak again and I expect them to get the win in Minnesota here. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in the Metropolitan Division but they have been 1 of the strongest teams in the league for years now. The Bruins are not a bad team and it takes a lot of skill to shut them out on their home ice but the Hurricanes still did and they put up 6 goals in the game too just to add some salt in the wound. The Wild had won 6 games in a row but they just lost their most recent game to the jets and they were shut out in that game. This is their 1st game back from a road trip too and I expect them to come out a bit slow and sluggish in this game. I think the Wild has lost a lot of their momentum from their big run of 6 wins in a row and I think they are going to go into a mini slump before breaking out and winning again. The Wild have looked very good on home ice lately but they have also been playing some really bad teams and I think they aren't going to be able to handle what the Hurricanes bring their way in this game. The Hurricanes are on a mission to finish with the most points and I see them starting to roll for the rest of the year. They are built much stronger than the Wild are and they should have no trouble winning this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |
|||||||
02-10-22 | Blue Jackets -105 v. Sabres | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The Blue Jackets have looked a lot better in their games lately and they are starting to win a lot more after going through a pretty big slump. They have wins in 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won in their most recent game too. Their only loss during that time was to the Panthers who are by far 1 of the strongest teams in the league this year. Luckily for the Jackets, the Sabres are 1 of the worst teams in the East and they just beat up on some other bad teams in the East like a 6-3 win over the Canadiens. I think the Jackets are going to play well on home ice here and I expect them to keep winning more games now that they have built up some momentum in their previous games. The Sabres haven't looked good in a lot of their games this year but they are really banged up lately and have a ton of players missing from this game. They have lost 2 games in a row and both of those losses were by 3 goals. This is also their 1st game back from a trip of 4 games on the road and I think they are going to come out slow and sluggish in this game from all of that travel along with their team being shorthanded. This is also their only home games and then they go right back on the road after to play Montreal. I think this 1st game back from their road trip is going to be a let down and the Jackets have looked good lately. They are a lot healthier than the Sabres are and I expect the Jackets to pounce on this chance to get another road win. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Blue Jackets. |

02-08-22 | Golden Knights v. Oilers +102 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Oilers have finally started to look a lot better in their games lately. They were on a huge losing streak and were really struggling to win games with a lot of injuries and even a few covid cases on their team but they have been getting healthy and have looked a lot better lately. I think they can win this game since they have been getting very hot leading up to the All Star break. They have 1 loss in their previous 6 games and they went into the All Star break with a win in their most recent game. They have been scoring a lot of goals again in their games and have scored 3+ in all of those wins. They will need that offense against Vegas who can also score a lot of goals in their games but I think the Oilers are going to outscore them here on their home ice. The Golden Knights have won 2 games in a row but they have even struggled to win both of those games. They won their most recent game over the Sabres but they had to go to a shootout to beat the Lightning right before that game and they had also lost 2 in a row before those 2 wins. The All Star game was also in Vegas this year and their previous game was at home so they have been relaxing at home for over a week now. I think the long layoff, coupled with the travel to Canada where players don't like to come because of the covid restrictions, is going to hurt Vegas in this game and I think the Oilers can get the win here and continue their hot streak lately. The Oilers were only struggling because of their missing players but now that they are almost at full strength again they should get back on track and win more games now. They are also getting 1 of their goalies back for this game too since they have been playing with their 3rd string. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. |

02-07-22 | Devils v. Senators -130 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ottawa Senators. I like the Ottawa Senators to win this game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Senators are on home ice for this game and that is a major advantage for them. Besides the fact that there will only be roughly 500 fans in the building for this game, most of the players in the NHL are beginning to hate travelling to Canada for games with all of the covid restrictions they have in place since it is a major inconvenience to them. This works out for the Senators since they have been a better team on home ice this year and lately they have looked a lot better in their home games. I think they have the advantage here coming off of the long layoff, both teams will be a bit rusty at 1st but the Senators will have the comfort of not having to travel and there will be some Devils players that simply don't want to be here. I think this can help out the Senators a lot here but I also think they will win this game since the Devils have been terrible leading up to the All Star break. The Devils have lost 6 games in a row but their 2 most recent games were just embarrassing. The Devils lost B2B games against the Leafs, 1 at home 1 on the road, but the way they did it was just terrible and I can't back a team that plays like this. In the 1st of their 2 meetings the Devils had a 4-2 lead over the Leafs going into the 3rd period and the Leafs had not scored a goal in the 2nd period at all so they weren't even hot or gaining momentum in the game. The Devils collapsed in the 3rd letting the Leafs score 4 unanswered goals to win that game 6-4. Then the Devils had another chance on their home ice to redeem themselves and instead they let the Leafs plaster them 7-1 on their own home ice. I understand that both of these teams are very bad this year but I can't back a team that pulled off what the Devils did in their previous 2 games and I need to see some improvement from them before they can be trusted again. I feel much better going with the home team here who doesn't have to travel and even won their previous game at home. I like the Senators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Senators. |

02-02-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Islanders -160 | 3-0 | Loss | -160 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday. The Islanders just won their most recent game 4-1 at home over Ottawa and I think they can repeat that performance in this game. That win ended a 2 game losing skid but they have looked a lot better in their games lately after having a very rough start to their year. They have also looked really good on home ice, they have been stumbling a bit lately but, I think they can string some wins together now that they have 1 under their belt against the Senators. The Senators are not a very good team this year and it is expected that the Islanders would beat them on home ice but the Kraken are an even worse team and have done nothing but struggle to win games ever since joining the league, and their struggles have been even stronger in their road games. I think the Islanders are going to have a strong physical presence here and I think they can beat up on the Kraken here on home ice. The Kraken have lost 2 games in a row and they are at the bottom of the standings in the West. They have not looked good on the road either, they have lost 2 games in a row on the road and they have won 1/7 road games in their previous 7. The Islanders are simply the better team here and have been playing much better on home ice this year. The Kraken have not been good in their games and they have struggled even more in road games lately. The Islanders should have no troubles in this game so I like the Islanders to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders. |

01-28-22 | Capitals +101 v. Stars | 5-0 | Win | 101 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Friday. The Capitals have lost 2 games in a row and i think they are due for a bounce back here. They lost a close game at home to Vegas losing 1-0 and then they got embarrassed by the Sharks 4-1, again on their home ice. I think they will respond to that loss with a much better performance here and I expect them to bounce back and win this game against the Stars. The Stars have won 4 games in a row but i think that is going to end here. All 4 of those wins came on a road trip that they were on and this is their 1st game back at home since all of that travel. I think they will come out a bit sluggish and slow in this 1st game back at home and I think the Capitals can take advantage of them here. The Stars are going to be fat and happy coming back from that road trip with all of the possible points that they could've earned. The Capitals are going to be hungry for a win though since they haven't been winning many games lately but they have been coming close losing a lot of games by 1 goal. I think they are going to get after the Stars here and the Capitals have also been getting healthier over their past few games so I am expecting a good effort from them in this game. I like the Capitals to win this game against the Stars. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals. |

01-27-22 | Kings v. Islanders -129 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -129 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the LA Kings on Thursday. The Islanders are 5-1 in their previous 6 games and they have looked really good lately. Their year started off really rough with the 13 game road trip and then when their new arena opened up their team was infested with covid cases but now they are back and healthy and have looked great since, starting to surge in their latest games. They have looked great on home ice and they are 7-3 in their L10 at home. The Islanders just got over the .500 mark in what seemed like a lost season just a few weeks ago but now that they are back in the mix and playing well, I expect them to go on a big run and take advantage of their home games to try and make up some ground in the standings after what's been a wonky year for them. The Kings are in middle of a road trip playing their 3rd game but they are 1-4 in their L5 games and they haven't looked good in most of those. They just lost their most recent game in a shootout and that game was on Monday so I expect them to a bit sluggish here from the longer layoff. I think they are going to come out slow in this game and the Islanders, who have been playing much better lately and have been great at home now, will take advantage of them early in this game and make it where they won't be able to catch up. I expect the Islanders to come out strong taking an early lead and never look back in this game as they start surging up the standing with more wins. I think the Islanders are on the up trend while the Kings are trending downward with their play lately. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders. |

01-26-22 | Blackhawks v. Red Wings -121 | 8-5 | Loss | -121 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Red Wings. I like the Detroit Red Wings to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Red Wings have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back here. The Red Wings haven't played a game since Saturday, they lost on the road to the Predators 4-1 in that game and have been sitting on that bad loss since then. I think with all of that time between then and now to think about that loss in Nashville, the Red Wings will come out with a fire lit under them and play hard to get a bounce back win here on their home ice. The Red Wings have had some dominant performances on their home ice this year and it is where they play their best hockey. Their previous home game was a loss to the Stars but the Stars had to take them to OT just to get those 2 points. The Red Wings are not a great team this year but I think they have their best chances of winning games when they play on home ice. The Blackhawks have actually been even worse than the Red Wings have this year so I think this is the perfect spot for the Red Wings to bounce back and beat up on a bad team here. The Blackhawks have lost 4 games in a row now but long losing streaks have been a common theme for them all year. They have also lost 3 games in a row on the road and they haven't looked good in their road games all year. The Blackhawks are another team just like the Red Wings in the sense that they play much better on home ice and struggle a lot more in road games. I think the Blackhawks are going to continue their struggles here and I expect the Red Wings to get a nice bounce back win here on home ice, I like the Red Wings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Red Wings. |

01-25-22 | Oilers v. Canucks +118 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The Canucks have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have kept both games close, losing by 2 goals to the Blues in their most recent game and losing in a shootout to the Panthers the game before that, a game where they led 1-0 for most of the game before letting the Panthers tie it in the last 5 minutes of the game. This is the last game of a homestand for the Canucks before they go on a road trip and they have lost all their games on home ice during that time. I think the Canucks are going to want to end their homestand with some points here and I expect them to play hard to get that win before starting their road trip right after. The Oilers just ended a 7 game losing skid with a win in their most recent game but that doesn't mean that their problems are fixed up there. The Oilers have been dealing with a lot of covid issues lately and their fans have really been harping on the team about all the losses, with the local media adding fuel to the fire by asking their star players like Leon Draisaitl why they are being so pissy. This is not a good situation in Edmonton right now and if things don't change soon they could be looking at a McDavid exit at the end of his contract. The Oilers finally won a game against the Flames but I think they put a lot of extra effort into that game with it being the battle of Alberta and I expect them to be tired from that win. The Canucks have looked great on defense since turning their team around with a new coach and I think they can keep the struggling Oilers out of the net here after keeping the red hot Panthers out for most of that game. I think the Canucks can take advantage of the Oilers in their current situation here and I expect them to finish off their homestand with a win here. i like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Canucks. |

01-25-22 | Golden Knights v. Hurricanes -162 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Hurricanes just lost their most recent game and that ended a run of 3 wins that they had strung together. They were looking great in their games until getting stopped by the Devils on Saturday losing that game 7-4. They let in a lot of goals in that game and I expect them to play better on defense in this game since Vegas can score goals and the Hurricanes will be looking to get that game back that they lost. The Hurricanes have been great at home this year and I think they are going to smack the Knights around here. Vegas just played their 1st road game in January the previous night after playing 8 games in a row at home. They are dealing with a lot of their players in covid protocol right now and they don't have their team at full strength here. This is also a B2B game for them and I think they are going to be a bit tired from that. They haven't really looked good in their games lately, they have won 2 games in a row but 1 was against the Canadiens at home who are the worst team in the league but they needed OT just to get by, and then their most recent game was a win on the road against the capitals that they scraped out 1-0. I think their good fortune has come to an end here though and I expect their injuries and absences from their lineup to start catching up to them. The Knights should have lost in Washington last night but they will definitely be taken down by the hot Hurricanes here. The Hurricanes have looked much better in their games lately and will be looking to bounce back after a bad loss in New Jersey. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. |

01-24-22 | Golden Knights v. Capitals -145 | 1-0 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The Capitals have been in some really close games lately but they have managed to steal 2 wins in their previous 3 games and I think they can add another win onto their roll here. They have also won 2 home games in a row and I think they can keep that streak going here. Vegas is dealing with some injuries to some key players and they also have a few players in covid protocol which is never good since that could end up spreading to even more players on the team by the time this game starts. I think the current players missing from their lineup will hurt their scoring ability though and the Capitals are one of the highest scoring teams in the East this year. Vegas has scored more goals than the Capitals this year but a lot of their scorers are going to miss this game and ever since coming into the league a few years ago, Vegas has always been a much better team on home ice. I don't think they are going to play well here on the road with a lot of their players missing. Vegas also just played 8 games in a row on home ice and this is going to be their 1st road game in January. I think this is going to be a bit of a let down for them after being at home for so long and I expect the Capitals to come at them hard and make it a very physical game for them. I think it's a good spot for the Capitals here and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Capitals. |

01-21-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -152 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win against the New York Rangers in this game on Friday. The Hurricanes have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now but they have both been blowout wins for them. They broke out of the funk they were in with a big 4-1 win over the Canucks but they continued that into their next game with a 7-1 rout over the Bruins on the road for that game too. I think now that they are hot they are going to go on a huge run and they should play even better in this game with it being on their home ice. The Hurricanes have scored 11 goals in their previous 2 games and have only given up 2 goals in those games. The Rangers have also been hot lately winning 3 games in a row now but I think this is the spot for their streak to come to an end. The Hurricanes are 1 of the few teams in the league that are actually better than the Rangers and they will play a good game on home ice making it very difficult for the Rangers to score on their defense here. The Rangers are lucky to have even extended their win streak against the Leafs the other night with the way they played that game. They fell down 2-0 early in the 1st 10 mins of that game and they were down 3-1 in the 2nd period before scoring 5 unanswered goals to make a comeback and win 6-3. They were able to do that home against the Leafs since the Leafs have been having that problem lately of blowing their leads but that is going to be a lot tougher to pull off against the Hurricanes who are better than both and to do it on the road in Carolina where their defense has been great just doesn't seem practical to me. I think the Rangers time has come after that last game and the Hurricanes are a team that I don't want to step in front of right now. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M.

01-20-22 | Jets v. Predators -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators. I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Predators have lost 4 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back on home ice here. They lost 2 games in a row to end a road trip and they came back home and dropped their 1st game back to the Canucks 3-1. They didn't look good in that game and I think they were a bit sluggish in that 1st game back at home due to their travel coming back but I expect a much better performance from them here. The Predators have looked good this year overall and they are holding down the 3rd place spot in their division with a 4 point lead over the team behind them. The Jets have not looked that great in their games lately and they have lost 2 of their previous 3 games. They were only able to win against the Red Wings but they lost 7-1 to the Avalanche and 4-3 in OT to the Capitals in their most recent game. They have also lost 2 of their previous 3 games on the road but they are going to be at a heavy disadvantage here. The Predators won't really be missing any players for this game but the Jets have a few of their players in covid protocols and I think they are going to play much worse because of that. A lot of their 1st and 2nd line players ended up on that list and they are going to need a full strength team to go into Nashville and beat the Predators here. I think this is the perfect spot for the Predators to bounce back and get back on track in their games. The Jets in their current condition are like low hanging fruit for these slumping Preds and I expect them to take full advantage of them here on their home ice. I like the Predators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Predators. |

01-18-22 | Hurricanes +125 v. Bruins | Top | 7-1 | Win | 125 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. The Hurricanes had hit a bit of a slump with 2 losses in a row but they responded to a 6-0 blowout loss with a 4-1 win over the Canucks in their most recent game. Now that the Hurricanes have bounced back from that I expect them to continue their great play in games and go on a big run here. The Hurricanes are 1 of the better teams in the NHL and they have 6 more points than the Bruins have this year. The Hurricanes are beginning a road trip here and I expect them to set the tone by coming out strong in this 1st game. The Hurricanes have looked really good on the road lately and have been winning a lot of games. They have won 4 of their previous 5 road games and I think they are going to continue their road dominance over Boston in this game. The Bruins have won 5 games in a row but all good things must come to an end and I expect that win streak to end here. They have had some good wins on this run but lately they have been running on fumes and their 2 most recent wins were very unimpressive. They won at home by 1 goal over a Flyers team that has underachieved this year and then they went into their next game, at home again, and they beat Nashville by 1 goal but had to take them to OT just to get it done. I think their run is coming to an end here and there isn't a better team to come in on the road and slap the Bruins around on their home ice. These teams have faced 1 time already this year and the Hurricanes shut them out 3-0 in that game. I think the Hurricanes are the better team this year and i like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. |

01-17-22 | Penguins v. Golden Knights -108 | 5-3 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. Vegas got off to a rough start at the beginning of the year but now they have looked a lot better in their games and have played their way into 1st place of their division. The Knights have always been a much better team on home ice in Vegas but lately they have been losing games there. They haven't looked bad in these games though and they have come really close to winning them. They have played 6 games in a row at home and they have lost 4 of them. All 4 of their losses were by 1 goal though, and 2 of those 4 losses had to go past regulation to be settled. They have lost 2 games in a row now, both of them at home, and I expect them to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was to the Leafs and that came in a shootout. I think after such a close game at home that the Knights are going to wake up here and play a lot better than they have been. The Penguins just won their most recent game but they had to take the Sharks to OT just to win it. They were on a good run but I think the Penguins have run out of steam now and are going to fall short in Vegas. The Knights have been too close in so many home games now that they are bound to get 1 of these wins. The Penguins are also concluding a 6 game road trip with this game and I think they are going to run out of gas here from all the travelling they have done. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Golden Knights. |

01-13-22 | Jets -120 v. Red Wings | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The Jets were looking great lately winning 3 games in a row but then they ran into a buzzsaw Avalanche team in their most recent game who destroyed them 7-1. The Avalanche are a very good team and it is tough to go into Colorado and beat them on their home ice. The Jets were playing very well up to that game and they just ran into a team that is a lot better than they are. I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be hungry after that embarrassment on the ice the other night. I think the Jets are going to show some pride in this game and make up for that brutal 7-1 loss with a much better performance here. The Red Wings haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row and 5 of their previous 6. They just played a 3 game road trip in California where they got destroyed by the Kings 4-0 and then lost in 2 close games to the Ducks and the Sharks, losing 1 game in a shootout and the other in OT. This is their 1st game back from that and I expect the Red Wings to be sluggish from the travel and the time change. The Jets are going tpo be hungry for a win here and I think they are the much better team anyway. I expect the jets to get back on track in this game against the red Wings who have been slumping lately. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Jets. |

01-10-22 | Rangers -103 v. Kings | 1-3 | Loss | -103 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the LA Kings on Monday. The Rangers have been having a great year, they are 1 of the best teams in the league and are in 4th place with 50 points. The Kings have 39 points but they haven't looked nearly as good as the Rangers have looked this year and the Kings have a record much closer to .500. The Rangers bounced back the other night with a win against the Ducks after a loss to Vegas and they have now won 4 of their previous 5 games. They lost 5-1 to Vegas but without that game in there, they have been playing extremely well and were bound to fall in 1 of their games. They have only given up 2 goals total in their previous 3 wins and they have scored 4 goals in all of those games. The Kings have also won 3 of their previous 4 games but they haven't defeated any good teams in those games. Their wins were against the Canucks, Flyers, and Red Wings who are all low in the standings with losing records. The Rangers' last 3 wins were against the Lightning, Oilers, and Ducks who are all teams with winning records and sitting in playoff positions halfway through the season now. I think the Rangers are a much better team and they have looked a lot better than the Kings have in their games. The Rangers have been playing very well and they have had a much tougher schedule than the Kings have had lately but the Rangers are still finding ways to win games and win by a lot too. The Rangers have won their previous 3 games by 3+ goals in all of them and I don't think this game is going to be any different. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Rangers. |

01-08-22 | Sharks v. Flyers +111 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Flyers have lost 4 games in a row now and I think this is the perfect spot for them to break their bad run. They have been thrashed in 3 games in a row, losing by 3+ goals in all of those games but I expect them to respond with a much better performance in this game. This is a big revenge game for the Flyers since they lost in OT to the Sharks just over a week ago and that loss was the 1st loss that started the losing streak they are on now. They were in San Jose for that game but I think they are going to get up for this game and get their revenge here at home. The Sharks have not looked great this year, they started the year off playing great but they have regressed lately and near the bottom of the division where they should be. They are coming off a tight win over the Sabres in their most recent game but they had lost their 2 games before that one and they did not look good in those games. They lost 6-2 to the Red Wings who are not a good team and they lost 8-5 to the Penguins who aren't a bad team but they should not be giving up 8 goals in a single game. Even in their game before beating the Flyers just over a week ago, the Sharks had to take the Coyotes, who are the worst team in the league, to a shootout just to win and they won that game 8-7 which means they gave up 7 goals to a terrible Coyotes team. The Sharks have looked terrible on defense and with their goalkeeping and I think the Flyers will be able to break out of their scoring drought on them. I expect the Flyers to be extra motivated to get their revenge here and break their run of losses. I like the Flyers to bounce back after a few bad losses and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Flyers. |

01-06-22 | Sharks -125 v. Sabres | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection San Jose Sharks. I like the San Jose Sharks to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The Sharks have hit a bit of a rough patch losing 2 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible in those games. They lost 8-5 to the Penguins in 1 of those games but still scored 5 goals on them, and they lost 6-2 to the Red Wings in their most recent game which is probably burning them still. I think they are going to bounce back after a loss like that since they are a lot better than the Sabres this year. The Sharks are managing to stay above .500 this year while the Sabres are way below and they haven't looked good in a lot of games this year. The Sharks are also scoring goals still, they only scored 2 goals on the Red Wings but they had scored 16 goals total in the 3 games before that one. The Sabres have lost 4 games in a row now and they haven't won a game since before the Christmas break. They have also given up 4 goals in 3 games in a row. The Sabres have also had a few of their games postponed lately so they haven't played a game since January 1st and I expect them to come out a bit sluggish and slow in this game. The Sharks have been playing games consistently at the moment and even though they haven't been winning a lot lately, they haven't been playing bad either and they are at least staying warmed up and in their groove. I think the Sharks are going to take advantage of the Sabres in this game and use it as a bounce back after a bad loss in their previous game. I like the Sharks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Sharks. |
