11-12-22 | Coyotes +1.5 v. Devils | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Arizona +1.5. The Coyotes come into this game as winners of four of their last five, and they are riding a hot goaltender. Karel Vejmelka is coming off a 24 save shutout win over the Islanders. Arizona has lost three of their last five at New Jersey, but they are 4-1 ATS in those games. The Devils are 11-3 straight up, but they are just 5-8 ATS in those games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-11-22 | Wild v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | 1-0 | Loss | -125 | 21 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Kraken bring a five game winning streak into tonight's home game against Minnesota. Seattle has one of the league's best power play units, and they are scoring over 3.5 goals per game. The Wild will look to avenge a 4-0 home loss to Seattle last week. We should see more scoring here tonight. The over is 17-8 in the Wild last 25 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-10-22 | Predators v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Predators pulled starting goaltender Juuse Saros in a 5-1 loss at Seattle a few days ago. Saros is 3-6-1 with a 3.46 GAA this season. The Preds are in Colorado to face the defending champs, and their league best power play. Colorado is converting on an incredible 38 percent of their power play chances. Their penalty killing unit though has struggled, giving up a goal on over 30 percent of their opponent's chances. Of course the result is often a high score. These teams have gone over in seven of the last eight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-05-22 | Predators v. Canucks OVER 6.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Canucks have won three of their last four, and they are scoring plenty of goals. They are coming off an 8-5 win over the Ducks, and we should expect another barn burner here against Nashville. These teams have gone over in five of the last six in Vancouver, and the over is 10-3 in the last 13 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-03-22 | Predators v. Flames -180 | 4-1 | Loss | -180 | 19 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Flames. Calgary is coming off back to back losses, but a home game against Nashville looks like a good spot to get back on track. The Predators have lost seven of their last eight overall, and they have lost seven in a row when playing on 1 days rest. The Flames are 29-14 in their last 43 home games, and they have won six straight versus teams with a winning percentage of .400 or worse. The Predators are 0-6 in their last six games following a loss of 3 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-01-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Flames OVER 6 | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Flames are coming off a loss to Edmonton in the Battle of Alberta, but they draw a favorable matchup with a home game against Seattle tonight. Both these teams have top ranked power play units, but the Kraken are pathetic on the penalty kill (66%). Seattle is coming off a home win over Pittsburgh, and the over is 5-0 in their last five games coming off a win. The Flames have gone over in four of their last five home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-22 | Oilers v. Flames OVER 6.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -125 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Over. The Battle of Alberta is one of the NHL's best rivalries, and historically these games have been high scoring. The over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings, and 8-2 in the last 10. These two teams are each ranked in the Top 5 in the NHL in power play percentage, both scoring on over 30 percent of their opportunities with the man advantage. The over is 20-8-1 in the last 29 meetings in Calgary. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-28-22 | Penguins -150 v. Canucks | 1-5 | Loss | -150 | 17 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on PIT. The Canucks got their first win of the season last night in Seattle, but put the Stanley Cup Parade on hold. They still rank near the bottom of the league in goals against, and they are brutal on special teams. They face a Penguins team Friday that boasts a Top 10 power play unit, and ranks 1st in the league in scoring averaging 4.29 goals per game. The Penguins lost back to back road games in Calgary and Edmonton, but have had a few days off to get ready for the Canucks. Vancouver is playing the second game of a back to back, and they are 13-43 in their last 56 games playing on 0 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-18-22 | Kings v. Predators -147 | 4-3 | Loss | -147 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on NASH. This looks like a potential let down spot for the LA Kings, coming off an overtime win over Detroit last night. You would think the Kings would turn to their backup netminder here in the second game of a back to back. Cal Peterson allowed six goals on 35 shots against Minnesota in his only start this season. The Kings have lost eight of their last 10 versus Nashville, and four straight at Bridgestone Arena. The Predators are 24-9 in their last 33 games playing on 2 days rest. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-17-22 | Ducks v. Rangers -185 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 22 m | Show | |
2* | |||||||
10-17-22 | Penguins -1.5 v. Canadiens | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on the Penguins. Sidney Crosby has taken a back seat to the likes of Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nathan McKinnon in recent seasons. At the age of 35, he may still be one of the best in the game. He comes into Montreal leading the NHL in scoring after playing just two games. This is always a big game for Crosby and teammate Kris Letang who was born in Montreal. Crosby has scored 21 goals and has 37 assists in 43 career games versus Montreal in his career. These two teams are trending in opposite directions, the Habs rebuilding while the Pens appear to be a contender. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-15-22 | Golden Knights v. Seattle Kraken OVER 6 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Seattle Kraken are off to a decent (1-1) start to their second season in the NHL. That said they did blow a 4-2 lead in the 3rd period in their season opener, losing 5-4 to Anaheim in overtime. They have been a good bet to the over since joining the league, and we can expect a high score here as they host the VGK. The over is 8-3 in the Golden Knights last 11 versus the Western Conference, and these two teams have gone over in three of four all time meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-13-22 | Blackhawks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -128 | 14 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on VGK. The Knights peppered Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick with 51 shots in their season opener, winning by a score of 4-3. They are back home hosting the Chicago Blackhawks tonight, and Chicago is coming off a 5-2 loss in Denver. The Blackhawks are 10-42 in their last 52 versus a team with a winning record. They have lost five of their last six versus the Golden Knights, and they are projected to be one of the worst teams in the league again this season. That means that they may be tanking for a first round draft pick. The Blackhawks are 4-13 in the last 17 meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-12-22 | Maple Leafs -1.5 v. Canadiens | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on TOR. These two teams are trending in opposite directions. The Habs are expected to be tanking for the top pick in the draft, while the Leafs are looking to prove that they are a contender. Toronto was expected to make a deep playoff run with one of the highest paid rosters in the NHL last season, but were bounced in the first round of the playoffs once again. They bring back almost everybody from a team that ranked 2nd in the league in scoring. Auston Matthews scored 60 goals, leading the league in scoring. They have the firepower to take advantage of an inferior opponent in their season opener. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-26-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning +105 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on TB. Darcy Keumper bounced back from a poor performance in Game 3 in Tampa with a solid Game 4. He wasn't terrible in a Game 5 loss in Colorado, but in a game decided by one goal he let in a bad one. Andrei Vasilevskij allowed two goals on 37 shots in Game 5, and he's really in the zone right now. The Lightning have the momentum, they have home ice in Game 6, and they have the better goalie. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-24-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche -164 | 3-2 | Loss | -164 | 44 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Colorado. The Lightning had Colorado on the ropes, taking a 2-1 lead to the third period of Game 4 and coming so close to tying the series and taking all the momentum. Instead they lost a heart breaker in overtime, and it's really tough to see them coming back from that. Darcy Keumper bounced back by stopping 37 of 39 shots in Game 4. While injuries are piling up for the Lightning, the Avs are getting healthier. It was Nazem Kadri who scored the game winner in Game 4, in his first game back after being sidelined since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The Cup will be in the building tonight, and the last time Tampa played in Denver they lost by a touchdown. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

06-20-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning -106 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on TB. The two time defending champions are on the ropes, but with the series back in Tampa and the Lightning coming off a 7-0 loss in Game 2, we should expect some push back. Keep in mind that Tampa was down 0-2 to the Rangers in the East Finals, and went on to win four straight. Andrei Vasilevskij allowed just three goals in the final three games of that series. The Lightning are 8-3 in their last 11 Stanley Cup Finals games, and they are 40-15 in their last 55 home games. Colorado is due to suffer a let down in Game 3. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-18-22 | Lightning +1.5 v. Avalanche | 0-7 | Loss | -190 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TB +1.5. After winning four straight versus the Rangers in the East Final, it was no surprise to see the Lightning suffer a let down in the first period of Game 1. Anrei Vailevskij was lit up for three goals in the first period, but then held the Avs scoreless for the remainder of regulation. Tampa showed plenty of character battling back to tie the game, and we should expect this series to be quite competitive moving forward. The Lightning have won five of their last seven at Colorado, and they are 13-4 in their last 17 playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-15-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche OVER 6 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 74 h 32 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. Andrei Vasilevskij has been dominant in these playoffs, but he's shown some rust when coming off a layoff. He allowed five goals on 32 shots in Game 1 versus the Leafs in the first round, and in the Eastern Conference Finals he was torched for six goals on 34 shots in Game 1 in New York. Pavel Francouz allowed five goals on 35 shots in Game 4 versus the Oilers, and it's unclear if the Avs will go back to Darcy Keumper now that he's healthy. The Avs come in averaging 4.64 goals per game in the playoffs, while allowing 2.86 goals per game. The over is 7-2-3 in Colorado's last 12 games playing on 3 or more days rest. I expect both teams to light the lamp early and often in Game 1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-11-22 | Rangers v. Lightning UNDER 5.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Under (1P). The goaltending in this series has been phenomenal, and we expect that to continue here in Game 6. We all know how important a Game 5 is in a playoff series. Historically, the team that wins Game 5 will have better than a 79 percent chance to win the series. With such high stakes, don't expect a lot of high quality chances early here. Tampa was up 1-0 after the first period in Game 4, after a scoreless first in Game 3. The under is 8-1 in Lightning last nine overall, and the under is 11-3-1 in the Rangers last 15 playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-09-22 | Lightning v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 42 h 59 m | Show | |

06-07-22 | Rangers v. Lightning -170 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa. The Lightning are back in the series after scoring in the final minute to steal Game 3 on home ice. They head into Game 4 with all the momentum, and I expect to see this series even at 2-2 heading back to New York. The Rangers are now 1-6 in their last seven road games as an underdog, and the home team has won four of the last five meetings. While Game 3 was close on the scoreboard, the Lightning out-shot the Rangers 52-30. Igor Shesterkin stood on his head, but the Rangers can't continue to count on their netminder to win games by himself. The lightning have their own world class goaltender, and Vasilevskij was 20-8 with a 2.23 GAA at home this season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-05-22 | Rangers v. Lightning -170 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 6* play on TB. The Eastern Conference Finals might be the polar opposite of the West Finals, which produced 14 goals in Game 1. The Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin was the best in the NHL in the regular season, while nobody has been better than Andrei Vaselevskiy in the post-season. The Lightning are 37-15 in their last 52 games as a home favorite, and the home team is 9-1 in the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-04-22 | Avalanche v. Oilers +116 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on EDM. Backup goaltender Pavel Francouz stepped in and recorded a shutout in Game 2, but the Oilers are 20-6 in their last 26 home games, and the home team has won seven of the last eight meetings. I expect the best of the Oilers here in Game 3. | |||||||

06-02-22 | Oilers +1.5 v. Avalanche | 0-4 | Loss | -145 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on EDM (+1.5). Here is what I said prior to Game 1: “The Avs came into these playoffs as the favorite to win the Stanley Cup, while Edmonton was a big underdog in their second round series versus Calgary. There is no doubt that the Oilers were more impressive against the Flames than Colorado was against St. Louis. If it wasn't for the injury to Jordan Binnginton, the Avs could have ended up losing that series. After allowing one goal on 31 shots in Game 2, the series was tied heading into Game 3 and Binnington had been the best player in the series to that point. Nazem Kadri took out the Blues goaltender (maybe unintentionally) injuring him for the rest of the playoffs early in Game 3. The Oilers have had plenty of success in head to head meetings versus Colorado, winning five games outright and going 7-3 ATS in the last 10. The Avs won two of three meetings in 2022 but both of those wins came in overtime. Don't be surprised if Game 1 is another close game.” Sure enough it was a close game, but an empty netter with seconds on the clock prevented Edmonton from covering. The Oilers rally came after Darcy Keumper was replaced by Pavel Francouz. Keumper's status is in doubt for Game 2. Meanwhile, we have already seen Mike Smith put a poor performance behind him, so he should be good to go. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-01-22 | Lightning v. Rangers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -103 | 29 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Under. The Eastern Conference Finals might be the polar opposite of the West Finals, which produced 14 goals in Game 1. The Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin was the best in the NHL in the regular season, while nobody has been better than Andrei Vaselevskiy in the post-season. The Lightning have failed to reach the total in eight of their last 11 Conference Finals games, and they have gone under in five straight. The under is 7-2-1 in the Rangers last 10 playoff games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-31-22 | Oilers +1.5 v. Avalanche | 6-8 | Loss | -150 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |

05-30-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes UNDER 5.5 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -130 | 34 h 13 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on Under. The first five games of this series went under the total, but a few bad goals allowed by Antti Raanta early in Game 6 resulted in the first over. Raanta has allowed just one goal on 38 shots in the Canes last two home games, so expect him to be back between the pipes in Game 7 after getting the hook in Game 6. Igor Shesterkin was the best goaltender in the NHL this season, and he's having a solid playoffs. The under is 7-1 in the Rangers last eight games as a road underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in four straight at Carolina. With a trip to the Conference Finals on the line, expect a cautious approach from both teams. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-28-22 | Hurricanes v. Rangers OVER 5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Over. While every game in this series has gone under, we might see a higher score here in Game 6 in New York. The over is 10-4-1 in the Hurricanes last 15 road games, and they have gone over in eight of their last 10 as an underdog. The over is 9-2-2 in the Rangers last 13 playoff games as a favorite. The over was 6-0-1 in the Hurricanes first round series versus Boston. With the number dropping from 5.5 to 5... the value is on the over. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-27-22 | Avalanche -168 v. Blues | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 17 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado. I said this prior to Game 5:"The Blues will be singing a sad song when this series is over, as they appeared to be in great shape prior to the injury to Jordan Binnington. Since coming in to replace Binnington, Ville Husso has allowed nine goals on 59 shots. The Avs won back to back games by a combined six goal margin. They return home for Game 5 looking to book their spot in the conference finals, and I think this is going to be a blowout. The Avalanche are 17-5 in the last 22 meetings, and the Blues are 4-10 in their last 14 playoff games as an underdog." Colorado blew a three goal lead, allowing the Blues to steal a win and extend the series. I can't see that happening again here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is an 8* play on Over. I said this after Game 1: "So everyone is talking about Game 1 of the Battle of Alberta, and the "unprecedented" high score. CBC called the game "explosive", the Calgary Herald called the game "Hectic", and several mainstream media outlets compared the game to the high scoring era of the 1980s. The funny thing is, you don't have to go back to the 1980s to find the last time these two teams played a barn burner. In fact the last time they played in the regular season Calgary won by an almost identical score (9-5 on March 26). Edmonton has long been dogged by shaky goaltending, and history is repeating itself here this post-season." Five of the last seven head to head meetings have gone over the number, and the over is 15-4 in the Oilers last 19 games as a home favorite. Don't be shocked if these teams light the lamp like crazy in Game 4. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-23-22 | Panthers v. Lightning -120 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 11 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa. The Florida Panthers finished with the best record in the NHL in the regular season, and here in the playoffs that and $5 might get you a can of coke. Wins in the regular season don't always translate into playoff success, and the Lightning are defending champions two years running. They have superior goaltending, playoff experience and great coaching. Now they have a chance to close out this series on home ice, and Florida is 1-6 in their last seven playoff games as an underdog. The Panthers are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings in Tampa Bay.

This is a 7* play on STL. A few weeks before the playoffs, the head coach of the Calgary Flames (Daryl Sutter) said that whoever played Colorado in the first round of the playoffs was wasting their time. It seemed like an odd comment from a coach who won a Stanley Cup as an 8th seed during his tenure in LA. He of all people should know that points earned the regular season don't always translate into an advantage in the playoffs. No matter how good a team is, they are always in danger of running into a hot goaltender that can steal a game or two, or even a series. The Blues come home for Game 3 with the series tied 1-1, and they are still the significant underdog. Jordan Binnington saved 51-of-54 shots in Game 1, and then stopped 30-of-31 shots in Game 2. The Avs have the more talented team, but that might not matter when the Blues have a Stanley Cup champion goaltender. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

05-19-22 | Blues v. Avalanche -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Colorado. So the Blues hung around in Game 1 and ended up losing in overtime, so does that mean we have a series on our hands? Not necessarily. After a long layoff it's not surprising that Colorado started slowly in Game 1. Jordan Binnington was incredible in Game 1, stopping 51 of 54 shots. Darcy Keumper was asked to deal with just 25 shots. Asking Binnington to be the hero night in and night out is a recipe for disaster against the most talented team in the league. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-19-22 | Lightning v. Panthers -155 | 2-1 | Loss | -155 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on FLA. The Lightning stole home ice advantage after winning Game 1 on the road, but it took an other worldly effort from Andrei Vasilevskij. He stopped 33 of 34 shots he faced, keeping Tampa in the game and the scored tied heading into the third period. A pair of late power play goals turned a close game into what appeared to be a blowout. The Panthers are 15-7 in their last 22 games following a loss of 3 or more goals, and they are 46-9 in their last 55 games as a home favorite. This is a must win for Florida, and I expect them to even the series at 1-1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

These teams have split the last 10 head to head meetings, with each team winning five games. Both teams are coming off a grueling seven game series in the first round, and there is every indication that another long series is ahead. The Flames won three of four home games in the first round, but only one of those wins came by 2 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

Florida struggled in the first round as a huge favorite versus Washington, and I really think they are overvalued here as a favorite versus Tampa. The Lightning are 11-3 in their last 14 playoff games as an underdog, and they are 24-5 in their last 29 Conference Semifinals games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-15-22 | Penguins v. Rangers -133 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on NYR. Here is what I said prior to Game 6: "The Rangers are still trailing in this series, but the momentum has started to swing their way. The Penguins are down to their third string goaltender, and superstar forward Sidney Crosby might not be available for Game 6 because of a possible concussion. With nine points in five games, needless to say it would be a huge loss for the Penguins if Crosby can't go. The Rangers have done historically quite well when favored on the road, going 64-27 in their last 91 games as a road favorite." Crosby is back skating, yet his status for Game 7 is still in question. Domingue allowed four goals on 33 shots in Game 6. The Rangers have home ice advantage, and all the momentum. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on LAK, This first round series between the Kings and the Oilers is tied 3-3 with the seventh and deciding game going tonight. Despite the fact that the series has been back and forth and the Kings have won two of three games at Edmonton, the bookmakers have the Oilers as a 2-1 favorite here. Two of the three games in Edmonton were decided by one goal, and Game 5 went to overtime. There is every reason to expect another close game here in this elimination game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 10* play on TB. I said this prior to Game 4: "The Leafs looked like the best team in the NHL in Game 3, but I am not ready to discount two decades of playoff futility after just 60 minutes of hockey. The Lightning are defending champions two years running, with a Vezina winner and Conn Smythe winner in goal. It would be naive not to expect some push back from the Lightning in Game 4." Tampa went on to win Game 4 by a score of 7-3. Tampa appeared to be in the driver's seat in Game 5 in Toronto, leading 2-0 after the first period. The Leafs pulled on out of the fire, but I think that sets them up for a let down here in Tampa in Game 6. This series is destined to go seven games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-12-22 | Hurricanes v. Bruins -123 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Bruins. Game 1 of this series looks like a blowout when you see the final score, but that doesn't accurately describe what happened. The Bruins looked like the better team in the first period, and the Canes were a little fortunate to take a 2-0 lead into the third period. Boston scored early in the third and it looked like it was game on, but then the Canes piled on with a string of late goals. Boston dominated shots on goal, with a 36-24 edge. They need to make life more difficult for Annti Ranta, with traffic in front of the net and constant pressure. This is a veteran team that is sure to push back. Expect Brad Marchand to be on top form tonight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on the Caps. I said this before Game 4: "Washington heads into Game 4 on home ice with a 2-1 series lead, yet they are the underdog tonight. Florida is reeling after Sergei Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 30 shots in Game 3. The Panthers are 8-20 in the last 28 meetings in Washington, and the home team has won six of the last seven head to head meetings. The Capitals are 4-1 in their last five games as a home underdog. I like Washington's chances of keeping this game close." Florida came from behind to win in overtime, and send the series back home tied 2-2. We should expect another close one in Game 5.

This is a 7* play on Minny. I had the Wild in Game 1, and despite the loss I am doubling down. Here is what I said prior to Game 1: "The Wild come into the post-season as perhaps the hottest team in the NHL. They won 19 of their last 26 regular season games. They made some big moves at the trade deadline, adding a veteran netminder with three Stanley Cup rings and a Vezina Trophy. Fleury is 9-2 with a 2.74 GAA since joining the Wild. While Minnesota has a proven playoff performer, the Blues turn to Ville Husso, who had an outstanding regular season. The 27 year old lacks Playoff experience. The Blues are 0-6 in their last six playoff games as an underdog, and the Wild are 51-16 in their last 67 home games." GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on Dallas. The Flames came into this series heavily favored, but Dallas has a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead with a win on home ice in Game 4. The Flames have scored just three goals in the first three games, and Jake Ottinger stopped 39-of-41 shots in Game 3. The Flames are 1-5 in their last six Conference Quarterfinals games.

This is an 8* play on NYR. I had the Rangers in Game 1, and here is what I said prior to the game: "The Pittsburgh Penguins still have star power with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, but they lost their starting goaltender at the end of the regular season. History tells us that goaltending is the most important ingredient to a successful run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Backup goalie Casey DeSmith will be filling in for Tristan Jarry. He faced the Rangers once in the regular season conceding four goals in an overtime loss. The Rangers are in good shape with Igor Shesterkin who lead the NHL in GAA as well as save percentage. The home team is just a small favorite and they have the best goalie in the world at the moment. The Rangers look like a bargain at this price." Casey DeSmith left Game 1 with a lower body injury, and Louis Domingue stepped in. The Penguins 3rd string netminder has given up nine goals in his last two starts. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 5* play on Dallas +1.5. If Dallas hadn't of scored the empty net goal in Game 2, it would have been seven of the last 10 meetings between these two teams that have been decided by one goal. It also would be been the second consecutive 1-0 game. The series shifts to Dallas for Game 3, and the Flames are still heavily favored on the road. Both starting goaltenders have allowed just one goal through the first two games, and it seems more than likely that we will see another defensive battle and it would be no surprise if we see overtime.

This is despite the fact that starting goaltender Mike Smith blew it in Game 1, and he's lost 10 of his last 12 starts in the post-season. Jonathan Quick on the other hand is a two time Stanley Cup Champion and Conn Smythe winner. Six of the last meetings between these teams have been decided by one goal.

They host the Nashville Predators, who were always going to be overmatched in this series. Starting Game 1 without their #1 goalie is going to make things even tougher for the Preds. Jusse Saros was 38-25-3 with a 2.64 GAA this season, but both their 2nd and 3rd strings goaltenders had a GAA over 3.50. David Rittich started two games against Colorado during the regular season, going 1-1 with a 4.80 GAA. He was pulled after allowing five goals on 13 shots in Game 1.

Tonight's game could be a bit different though, as everyone in Canada will be mourning the loss of Hall of Famer Guy LaFleur.

Dallas currently holds the eighth and final Wild Card spot, but that could change if they fail to win tonight's home game against the Sharks. San Jose has already been eliminated from the playoffs, and they have lost eight in a row. The Sharks are 5-18 in their last 23 road games, and they are are 0-6 in the last six meetings in Dallas.

They have won four straight, and one of those wins came at Arizona by a score of 5-1. Elias Petterson scored a goal and two assists in that game, and he has four goals and six assists during the Canucks four game winning streak.

Starter Jake Oettinger should be back between the pipes tonight in Seattle. The Stars are 6-1 in their last seven overall, and four of those wins came on the road. The Kraken are struggling after trading away their best players at the trade deadline. The Kraken are 5-16 in their last 21 games as a home underdog, and they are 17-40 in their last 57 overall.

They can't afford to slip up here in a must win game on the road at Buffalo, where the Sabres have lost two of their last three. Buffalo ranks 25th in the NHL in goals against, and well below average on special teams. The Sabres are not playing for anything other than respect at this point in the season and may have a tough time matching the intensity of a team hungry to earn a playoff spot.

They host the basement dwelling Seattle Kraken tonight, and the Kraken have been dealing players at the trade deadline. While it has been a successful inaugural season for Seattle, that hasn't resulted in too many wins. The Kraken are 6-23 in their last 29 games as an underdog, and they are 1-7 in their last eight games following a win. The Kings are 14-5 in their last 19 games as a favorite.

Toronto added more talent at the trade deadline in preparation for a long playoff run, while the Devils are in the middle of a rebuild. New Jersey is coming off a home win over the Rangers, traveling north of the border for the second game of a back to back. The Devils are 17-48 in their last 65 games as an underdog, and 10 of their last 12 losses came in games decided by 2+ goals.

We've seen Bruce Budreau inspire the Vancouver Canucks to a record of 17-7-4, putting them back in the hunt for the playoffs. The Edmonton Oilers won five straight when Jay Woodcroft took over, and now they are 6-3 in their last nine games. The Hawks have lost eight of their last 11 overall, and they are 16-37 in their last 53 games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
03-02-22 | Predators -163 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-4 | Loss | -163 | 20 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Nashville. The Kraken have lost seven straight, and they are sitting dead last in the Pacific Division. They host Nashville tonight, and the Predators are currently holding a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Predators are 4-1 in their last five games as a road favorite, and they are 35-17 in their last 52 games as a favorite. The Predators need the points here, and Seattle is just going through the motions in their first season as an expansion team. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

They are playing the second game of a back to back on the road in New Jersey, but their opponent has nothing left to play for. The Devils are 8-26 in their last 34 games playing on 2 days rest.

This is a 10* play on Calgary. The Flames were the hottest team in the NHL until they lost 7-1 at Vancouver. They are back home tonight, looking to get that awful taste out of their mouths. The Minnesota Wild are playing their fourth game on this road trip, and they have lost four of their last five overall. The Flames are 10-1 in their last 11 home games, while the Wild have lost four of their last five on the road. The Flames have won five of the last seven head to head meetings, and they are likely to scorch the Wild here tonight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

02-21-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Canucks -160 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 26 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on VAN. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 16-31-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected from an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. This is a huge game for Vancouver with the trade deadline looming large. The Canucks still need to figure out if they are buyers or sellers, and a win tonight would go a long way in helping them decide which direction they are headed. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 10* play on CAL. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 16-30-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected from an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. The Flames have won eight straight, and they have won by 2+ goals in six straight games. Calgary ranks 1st in the NHL in goals against, and they have one of the league's top penalty killing units. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-18-22 | Stars -145 v. Blackhawks | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Dallas. The Stars are one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, but they do have games in hand. Chicago has just three wins in their last 12 games overall, and they are closer to a top draft pick than they are to a playoff spot. The Stars are 5-0 in their last five road games, and they are 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite. The Blackhawks got blown out by Colombus last night, and they are just 2-8 in their last 10 games playing on back to back nights. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-12-22 | Islanders v. Flames -165 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Flames. The Flames are hot, and they host the Islanders playing on the back end of a back to back Saturday. The Isles are in Edmonton Friday, and they are 1-6 in their last seven when playing on back to back nights. The Flames have won five straight, five straight at home, and five of their last six head to head versus the Isles. Calgary ranks second in the NHL in goals against and owns the league's 3rd best penalty killing unit. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-11-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Ducks -145 | 4-3 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a free play on ANA. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 15-28-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected as an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. Seattle was roughly a 3-1 favorite in their last game, and they lost ourtright by a score of 5-2 versus Arizona. They are on the road tonight at Anaheim, and the Ducks are fighting for a playoff spot. Anaheim should be a bigger favorite versus Seattle, than the Kraken should be against Arizona (IMO). I'll take the home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-02-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Islanders -160 | 3-0 | Loss | -160 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYI. The Kraken sit dead last in the Pacific Division with a record of 14-27-4, and I have been fading them since December. I noted that the bookmakers are giving them too much respect, and I hypothesized that the success of the Vegas Golden Knights as an expansion team has skewed people's idea of what should be expected as an expansion team. If you look at other last place teams in the NHL (Arizona, New Jersey, Montreal), you will notice that the odds to bet against them are far higher. The Islanders are 10-1 in their last 11 games as a favorite, and they catch the Kraken playing on back to back nights. GL, Jesse Schule |
