Blue Jackets -126 v. Blackhawks | Top | 2-1 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
Goaltending continues to be a strength for the Jackets as Elvis Merzlikins made 33 saves on 35 shots Thursday and Joonas Korpisalo has a .928 save percentage in four games. Korpisalo is expected to be in net Friday night and is 2-0-0 for his career against the Blackhawks. |
01-26-21 |
Blackhawks v. Predators -175 | Top | 2-3 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
Chicago is a bad team; that much I say with certainty. The Blackhawks suffered plenty of key losses in the offseason and at the trade deadline (Robin Lehner, Corey Crawford, Brandon Saad), but things have only gotten worse as the season’s gotten rolling. Alex Nylander will miss essentially the entire season after getting knee surgery; Jonathan Toews is out indefinitely with an undisclosed illness; Kirby Dach’s wrist looks like a kinked hose and he’ll be out for the season as well. |
01-23-21 |
Senators v. Jets -133 | Top | 3-6 |
Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
The Senators have been a horrible road underdog dating back to last season. They also have not been a team you can rely on to voice back after a convincing loss. Take the Jets. |
01-23-21 |
Canadiens v. Canucks +137 | Top | 5-2 |
Loss | -100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
Montreal crushed Vancouver two nights ago but a lot of that was because the Canucks couldn't stay out of the penalty box. They have to get something from their power play at some point. Let's take the +130 in this one. |
01-23-21 |
Lightning v. Blue Jackets +145 | Top | 2-5 |
Win | 145 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
The Blue Jackets enter their game Saturday afternoon against Tampa Bay on a three-game point streak, with an optimist seeing sign that the team is making some progress toward finding its game after being swept in Nashville to start the season. On the other hand, each of the last two games have been overtime losses, leaving Columbus with just four points in those three games. A pessimist would point to those lost extra points in overtime as very disappointing, especially considering every game is a division game this year so those are critical points in the standings. |
01-22-21 |
Avalanche v. Ducks +170 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -100 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
The Colorado Avalanche are tied for third in the league in scoring, but the goals have been tougher to come by lately. It hasn't stopped one of the hottest team in the NHL from piling up victories. Colorado has won a season-high seven in a row but is averaging just 2.29 goals those games, more than a full goal lower than its season average. Great goaltending and tighter defense have the Avalanche pushing the St. Louis Blues for first place in the Central Division. The +170 is too much to pass up when I can't rely on goals. |
01-22-21 |
Sabres -109 v. Capitals | Top | 3-4 |
Loss | -109 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
With key players out of the lineup, it is possible we will see some taxi squad players slotting in. Prospect Connor McMichael joined the taxi squad on Thursday and had his first practice with the team. McMichael, Craig Anderson, defenseman Martin Fehervary, and center Brian Pinho skated with the group this morning. |
01-22-21 |
Oilers +122 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
The Oilers remain a team with serious issues in goal. Toronto continues to be a club struggling with its defensive structure. Despite the 3-1 game to start the 2-game set, I think we'll see more of a wide-open style tonight with the Oilers coming out on top. |
01-21-21 |
Jets -118 v. Senators | Top | 4-1 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
The Senators will be looking to avenge the 4-3 overtime loss, which saw them toss aside one of the best team-wide performances they’ve put together in recent memory. To that end, throwing away a victory on Tuesday should leave the Senators with no shortage of inspiration for Thursday’s contest. Every player should want to go out and deliver a repeat performance, albeit with a different end result. There aren’t really lessons to be learned for the players on the ice; they need to do essentially the same things again. I still think the Jets are the better of the two teams. Lessons will have to be learned down the road for the Sens. |
01-13-21 |
Blues +130 v. Avalanche | Top | 4-1 |
Win | 130 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
"Once we see Colorado, we'll be all business and ready to go," Blues captain Ryan O'Reilly said after Sunday's Training Camp scrimmage at Enterprise Center. The players - and the fans, for that matter - have waited more than four months to wash away the bitter taste of an early playoff exit last August. A first-round defeat by the Vancouver Canucks ended the Blues' bid to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. O'Reilly said the Blues will be more prepared this time, citing evidence that the team was skating together in St. Louis long before Training Camp opened on Jan. 3. Take the Blues and the plus money tonight. |
01-13-21 |
Penguins -105 v. Flyers | Top | 3-6 |
Loss | -105 | 4 h 21 m | Show |
The Penguins had a much busier offseason, which I think could help them improve coming into this season. If Kapanen can produce in the top six with Crosby and Malkin, it will really help propel the Penguins back into contention. The loss of Murray could hurt them a lot, but they will look for Tristan Jarry to take that starting role over in stride. |
09-04-20 |
Stars v. Avalanche -118 | Top | 5-4 |
Loss | -118 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
The Top guys for the Avalanche have come to play and we haven't, according to Stars head coach Rock Bowness. He couldn't have been more right about that as guys like Nathan Mackinnon and Mikko Rantanen have stepped up in every game, especially the last two to earn the Avalanche a game seven. Gabriel Landeskog could be limited after getting a friendly fire skate across his leg last night, but even without him the Avalanche have proved that their top line can and will carry them to the next round this afternoon. |

Wild +105 v. Canucks | Top | 3-0 |
Win | 105 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
Many of the Canucks are experiencing the post season for the first time, which brings up its own set of questions, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give the keys to my bankroll to Jacob Markstrom who made 30 saves in a loss to Winnipeg. Everything about these two teams are even. the Wild were 2-1-1 against the Canucks this year. Statistically you couldn't find two teams that were more even. This comes down to first time kids against veterans who are more seasoned to postseason hockey. |
02-29-20 |
Devils +113 v. Kings | Top | 1-2 |
Loss | -100 | 1 h 38 m | Show |
The Devils lost a tough 3-2 Ot decision to the Sharks last time out while the Kings are coming off a win against the Penguins. Looks easy, right? The Golden rule is to go against what seems right which is why we're taking the plus money with the Devils. The Devils have won 5 of 6 against teams with a losing record. |
02-18-20 |
Hurricanes +107 v. Predators | Top | 4-1 |
Win | 107 | 2 h 10 m | Show |
I'm more than willing to take a plus price with a team who desperately needs a win and has a capable offense and decent goaltending. The Hurricanes have three players averaging almost a point a game. Worth the gamble here. |
02-10-20 |
Flames v. Sharks -105 | Top | 6-2 |
Loss | -105 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
Despite the win in Vancouver this is still a Flames team who has dropped 6 of their last 9. Teams always play their best on the first game of a road trip but tend to fall back into what the are as the trip continues. This is not an arena where the Flames have had success historically or recently. |
02-09-20 |
Avalanche v. Wild +125 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -100 | 2 h 15 m | Show |
The Wild are smelling a playoff spot once again and a win tonight would go a long way toward achieving that goal in addition to it be a welcomed confidence boost against one of the best in the west. The Av's played less than 24 hours ago so lets get the plus money with the home team. |
02-08-20 |
Flames +110 v. Canucks | Top | 6-2 |
Win | 110 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
Both teams are coming into this one on a losing streak but with Calgary starting a road trip they are worth a shot to be the more motivated of the two in an effort to start the trip off right. Calgary is one of the few teams who might be a better road team than at home. |
02-04-20 |
Oilers +111 v. Coyotes | Top | 0-3 |
Loss | -100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Coyotes have allowed 20 goals in their last 5 games. Mike Smith will be back to face his former team on a hot streak (6-0-2). |
02-02-20 |
Penguins v. Capitals -135 | Top | 4-3 |
Loss | -135 | 5 h 47 m | Show |
Lets keep riding the Caps who have won 7 of 9 games and 2 of 3 after the All-Star break. Too much depth for the Penguins to handle at this point. |
02-01-20 |
Blues -145 v. Jets | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -145 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
Why get in the way of what the Blues are doing after winning 13 of their last 19 games as they face the inconsistent Jets who lost Friday to the Bruins. Blues are 7-2-1 last 10 against the Jets. |
01-27-20 |
Ducks +132 v. Sharks | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -100 | 16 h 44 m | Show |
When we last saw these two teams the Ducks had won 2 straight while the Sharks have lost 3 straight. Gibson is 5-2-4 against the Sharks with a .921 save percentage. Ducks defense wins this. |
01-21-20 |
Panthers v. Blackhawks -115 | Top | 4-3 |
Loss | -115 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
Don't fall into the Joel Quinneville back to Chicago trap. The Panthers played last night in a hard fought affair against Minnesota then flew to Chicago. There should be some fatigue against a Hawks team who has been at home waiting. Don't think for a minute, from a Chicago perspective, that there isn't inspiration to show off in front of a Blackhawk legend. |
01-21-20 |
Penguins -119 v. Flyers | Top | 0-3 |
Loss | -119 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
This is Penguins team that we can believe in the way we did a few years ago. They are once again a high tempo team with scoring depth. Even on defense they are fats and decisive. Take the pens tonight. |
01-20-20 |
Panthers v. Wild -107 | Top | 5-4 |
Loss | -107 | 4 h 8 m | Show |
Don't think this is a let down spot for the Wild after big wins against the Lightning and Stars. They are not in a position to take anyone lightly as they are still on the outside of the playoff picture. Wild continue to play solid defensive hockey while cashing our ticket. |
01-16-20 |
Coyotes v. Canucks -103 | Top | 1-3 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
The Canucks have quietly gone 7-3 in their last ten games putting them right in the middle of the Western Conference playoff race. They trail the Coyotes by just three points in the division that nobody wants to grab. This is a Vancouver team who seems to be night and day between road and home games. Take the Canucks who are 14-5-3 at home. |
12-29-19 |
Canucks v. Flames -180 | Top | 5-2 |
Loss | -180 | 4 h 42 m | Show |
The scoring depth on the Flames was on full display in their win against the Edmonton Oilers. Calgary can't afford to lose these winnable games if they hope to keep pace with Vegas in the Pacific. |
12-29-19 |
Stars v. Coyotes -106 | Top | 4-2 |
Loss | -106 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
Tough loss to the Golden Knights last night I expect the Coyotes to bring their A game if they want to show that they do belong among the leaders in the Pacific Division. Raanta bounces back tonight to get us the win. |
12-29-19 |
Canadiens v. Panthers -120 | Top | 5-6 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 11 m | Show |
I'm still not enamored with the Montreal defensive core, even though they have played better of late but we saw last night that there could be a complete lapse against the better teams in the league. Even after a dominating start, Montreal looked completely gass |
12-29-19 |
Islanders +100 v. Wild | Top | 3-1 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 32 m | Show |
I always go against the team coming home off the road, especially against New York who is the better of the two. New York has found success because they've turned into one of the best defensive teams after being one of the worst in years past. |
12-28-19 |
Flyers -123 v. Sharks | Top | 1-6 |
Loss | -123 | 2 h 33 m | Show |
Always good to back a team on the first game of a road trip, especially after a long break like the Flyers have had. Last time we checked, Philly has won 4 straight games. They'll face one of the worst teams in the NHL, (-32 goal differential) |
12-28-19 |
Kings v. Canucks -170 | Top | 2-3 |
Win | 100 | 1 h 19 m | Show |
The Canucks will try to match a season high 4-game win streak when they take on the LA Kings Saturday. and their wins are against quality competition, Vegas, Edmonton, and Pittsburgh.Vancouver's power play has been successful over 33% of the time over their last 5 games. |
12-27-19 |
Kings v. Sharks -145 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -145 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
I'll take a desperate team at home no matter how bad they've been. Despite their horrific season they have managed to beat LA twice in 2019. The Kings special teams is anything but. |
12-27-19 |
Islanders -131 v. Blackhawks | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -131 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
Chicago had plenty of success against the Islanders last season but this is a different year and New York is a different team. They face a Chicago team who are decimated by injuries coming off a loss to the lowly Devil |
12-27-19 |
Wild v. Avalanche -194 | Top | 6-4 |
Loss | -194 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
If it wasn't for an incredible run by the St.Louis Blues the Colorado Avalanche, who have won 10 of their last 13, would easily be in first place. Colorado has beaten Minnesota at home, 4 of their last 5 visits. |
12-27-19 |
Penguins v. Predators -128 | Top | 5-2 |
Loss | -128 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
The Nashville Predators are playing their best hockey of the season as they have managed points in five straight games. This is as good of an offensive team as there is in the league. Lay the small price with Nashville. |
12-27-19 |
Bruins -135 v. Sabres | Top | 3-0 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
The Boston Bruins may have just erased the bad taste of a mediocre month with a convincing win again the Washington Capitals last time out.I'm going to ride with the Bruins as I think this is the start of a long winning streak for the B's. The top line in the NHL comes to play. |
12-23-19 |
Oilers +129 v. Canucks | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
The Oilers can get healthy in the next few weeks because they only have 9 games in the next 36 days, but that also means they have to make games count in order to not get passed in the standings while they are idle. This is a huge game for the Oilers because they have a 4=pt lead but Vancouver has two games in hand. |
12-23-19 |
Canadiens v. Jets -102 | Top | 6-2 |
Loss | -102 | 4 h 2 m | Show |
Carey Price is overvalued on most nights and tonight is no exception. He's simply not as consistent as he used to and if he gets peppered with shots he's not improving on a goals against that sits at almost three. I'll take the home team and the short number. |
12-23-19 |
Sabres -113 v. Senators | Top | 1-3 |
Loss | -113 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
The Sabres need to win a a game against a lower level team and this fits the bill. Jack Eichel is the best player on the ice as the Sabres top 6 are clearly better. The Senators special teams are horrible, that will be the difference. |
12-23-19 |
Blue Jackets v. Islanders -161 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -161 | 5 h 33 m | Show |
The last thing the Blue Jackets want to do before Christmas break is travel to New York for their match-up with the Islanders. The win streak ends tonight as injuries and unfocused minds lead to an Islanders win. |
12-23-19 |
Rangers v. Flyers -180 | Top | 1-5 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show |
The Flyers have won three straight and six of their last seven at home. The Rangers won yesterday against Anaheim and have to bounce right back to face a dangerous Flyers team. Expect Alain Vigneault, who used to be the head coach for the Rangers, to have this one circle |
12-23-19 |
Flames +115 v. Wild | Top | 0-3 |
Loss | -100 | 3 h 5 m | Show |
Calgary has won 7 of their last 10 meetings and they are in a revenge spot of sorts because the last time these two matched up in March, the Wild got the best of that meeting. Flames win this one by winning the special teams battle. |
12-22-19 |
Golden Knights -144 v. Sharks | Top | 3-1 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
I laugh when I read some of these web sites that list starting goaltenders without any research as to what is really happening with the team. Trust me when I say that Malcolm Subban will be making the start for the Knights. Also, trust me when I tell you it doesn't matter. The Sharks stole the playoff series from vegas last season but Vegas took their soul. VGK rolls. |
12-22-19 |
Flames v. Stars -133 | Top | 5-1 |
Loss | -133 | 3 h 30 m | Show |
The Stars were in a tough spot against the Panthers after playing against the Tampa Bay Lightning the night before. Things should settle down at home tonight. For Calgary, the reliable Johnny Gaudreau is having an average season while the Flames have been a tough go with bet on the road. Dallas gets back to their defensive brand of hockey in front of Bishop. |
12-21-19 |
Blues -115 v. Sharks | Top | 5-2 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
No matter what the Blues want to tell you, it was the Vegas Golden Knights that sent the Sharks into a tail spin that they haven't recovered from. This is still a Blues team that crushed San Jose by a combined 12-2 in the last years postseason and they're going to do it again tonight. |
12-21-19 |
Canadiens v. Oilers +106 | Top | 3-4 |
Win | 106 | 3 h 54 m | Show |
Carey Price was good against the Calgary Flames but didn't face as many shots as he's certain to tonight. His GAA average is still close to 3 (2.84) while Miko Koskinen was spectacular in defeat to the Blues. I'll take the Oilers with a plus price at home. |
12-21-19 |
Panthers v. Hurricanes -179 | Top | 4-2 |
Loss | -179 | 3 h 31 m | Show |
Panthers are coming off a big win against the Dallas Stars and face a Hurricane team who had a impressive road trip, all without Erik Haula who should return to the 'Canes line-up tonight. |
12-21-19 |
Devils v. Blue Jackets -180 | Top | 1-5 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 23 m | Show |
It's funny when I read that MacKenzie Blackwood has been good this season because he really hasn't but he will get better. Columbus will pepper the Devils netminder, forcing him to win this match-up on his own. Blackwood owns a save percentage below .900 not a number I want my money on. |
12-20-19 |
Penguins -114 v. Oilers | Top | 5-2 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
This is a pay back spot for the Penguins who dropped an overtime match-up earlier in the season. The Oilers are too top heavy for me. Even without Crosby, the Penguins have more depth. |
12-20-19 |
Stars v. Panthers -114 | Top | 4-7 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
The Dallas Stars found their scoring touch late last night as they stole a victory from the Tampa Bay Lightning. It's going to be hard for them to match that same intensity level again against the Panthers. |

Golden Knights -127 v. Canucks | Top | 4-5 |
Loss | -127 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
Marc Andre Fleury hasn't lost a game in Vancouver in over 12 years. On Sunday the Knights proved that they were much better than Vancouver at this point. Fleury is 12-2-1 lifetime against the Canucks. |

Hurricanes +103 v. Avalanche | Top | 3-1 |
Win | 103 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
Colorado easily handled the Blackhawks last night but this is step up in competition Don't be scared off by the fact that James Reimer will be getting the start for Carolina, he has been more than capable of being a solid back stop for the Hurricanes. |
12-19-19 |
Predators -143 v. Senators | Top | 4-5 |
Loss | -143 | 3 h 22 m | Show |
This won't be a letdown spot like many think. My insider says that the locker room is aware that if they lose to the Senators, everything they've accomplished in the last few days would essentially be wiped away. Saros, who has been even better than Rinne, will get the start for Nashville |
12-19-19 |
Islanders v. Bruins -185 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -185 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
Teams starting a homestand are never a good play but the Bruins, who let a point slip away, should take that out on the Islanders tonight. Brad Marchand is expected to be in the line-up after a maintenance day. NY has failed to beat the Bruins in their last 7 meetings. |
12-19-19 |
Sabres v. Flyers -125 | Top | 1-6 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 11 m | Show |
The Flyers have had success this season because they've have been exceptional on the penalty kill. Carter Hutton has been less than reliable since the start of November and I can't see him going into Philly, where the Flyers are 11-2-4, and stealing a win. |
12-18-19 |
Oilers v. Blues -165 | Top | 1-2 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 45 m | Show |
This is a clear mistake by the oddsmakers who are more focused on football than they ever will be on the NHL which is why we're able to take advantage of their mistakes. Put 27 years of Las Vegas betting experience to work for you tonight. |

Ducks +105 v. Devils | Top | 1-3 |
Loss | -100 | 4 h 43 m | Show |
I like to back teams coming off a loss on the second of back to back games and that's exactly what we have here with the Ducks, especially when the Ducks had the better of the chances but couldn't push most by Carter Hart. Take the Ducks and the plus money tonight. |

Avalanche +107 v. Blues | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
With a win, the Avalanche take over the lead in the Western Conference from the Blues after St.Louis dropped three straight games. Colorado is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. Take the team who's playing better and the plus money. |

Canucks v. Golden Knights -195 | Top | 3-6 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 48 m | Show |
Vancouver lost last night to the San Jose Sharks and then quickly got on a plane to Vegas. The Canucks are in a bit of an offensive slump after scoring just four goals in their last three games and their power play has been horrific, failing to score in their last 10 chances. |
12-14-19 |
Canucks +109 v. Sharks | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -100 | 17 h 15 m | Show |
The Sharks are a mess and it starts with the locker room where there seems to be a lack of leadership despite the fact there are a ton of veteran leaders in the room. Word is that many don't think the top guys are giving off an effort equal to their pay. This is a good spot with the live dog. |
12-13-19 |
Golden Knights v. Stars -160 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -160 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
The Dallas Stars are under new leadership but they're not the only team that may be having some internal issues. The Golden Knights room may not be as Golden as some thing according to my insiders. Apparently there are some finger pointing towards the guys are making maximum money with minimal effort. We're going to exploit that tonight. |
12-12-19 |
Rangers v. Sharks -150 | Top | 6-3 |
Loss | -150 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
The Sharks are starting a 7-game homestand which usually is a go against spot, but with Pete DeBoer fired I think the Sharks will come with an inspired effort considering most teams in this spot wants to impress the brand new coaching staff. Too much leadership in the room for the Sharks to come out unfocused. |

Blue Jackets v. Penguins -160 | Top | 0-1 |
Win | 100 | 3 h 1 m | Show |
Big win for Columbus against the Capitals but to get get two wins of this caliber leaves me skeptical. I'm not ready to forget the 4 game losing streak prior. This is also a revenge spot for Pittsburgh after dropping a 5-2 decision weeks ago. |

Rangers +110 v. Kings | Top | 1-3 |
Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
The Kings have dropped four straight games and despite the fact that they were in every game I like where the Rangers are after winning three straight road games including a through beating of the Vegas Golden Knights. Rangers have more offensive depth. |

Devils v. Stars -193 | Top | 0-2 |
Win | 100 | 5 h 14 m | Show |
Jim Montgomery is out as head coach of the Dallas Stars for what the team calls "unprofessional behavior". Rick Bowness will take over on an interim basis. From our insider the locker room is pissed over the firing. They'll take it out on the Devils tonight in a huge way. |
12-10-19 |
Canadiens v. Penguins -140 | Top | 4-1 |
Loss | -140 | 3 h 24 m | Show |
After the game against the Rangers, the Canadiens finished a stretch where they played 5 games in 7 days, fresh off an 8-game losing streak. I question whether or not Montreal is ready to play a high tempo game. |

Bruins -171 v. Senators | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -171 | 2 h 15 m | Show |
I feel bad for the Senators as they face the Bruins coming off a through beating by the Colorado Avalanche. Bruins give a 60 minute effort tonight against Ottawa who has lost 6 of their last 7. |

Penguins -185 v. Red Wings | Top | 5-3 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show |
Red Wings practiced with different power play units at practice today which means that there could be guys trying to find some chemistry. This is a complete mismatch which is why this is Dana's TOP selection on the Saturday card. The Wings have given up too many odd man rushes and that simply won't due against a team like Pittsburgh. |

Capitals -148 v. Ducks | Top | 3-2 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
It's hard to ever go against the Capitals considering they've cashed 21 of their 30 games this season. Even the road, where the Caps have been the ride side in 13 of 16 games, doesn't cause me to think twice. Capitals power play will be the difference tonight. |
12-06-19 |
Kings v. Oilers -165 | Top | 1-2 |

The Oilers should be plenty pissed, if I can say it that way, after an ugly loss to the Ottawa Senators. They are now in second place in the Pacific division which should provide a wake up call that should motivate them to crush the Kings. I think the Ottawa game was nothing more than Edmonton getting an early lead and then thinking they could coast. |

Kings v. Coyotes -174 | Top | 0-3 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Big win against Vegas, that makes the Kings a go against in this one because if we know anything about the Kings its that they are unreliable off a victory. In addition, LA is just 14-37 in their last 51 games against teams with a winning record. Kings power play is among the leagues worst, I don't want to put my money behind a team with a poor PP |

Sabres v. Blackhawks -125 | Top | 1-4 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 48 m | Show |
The Buffalo Sabres have been horrible road dogs over the last six seasons and are just 23-52 as a small road dog. The Hawks have won 6 straight against the Atlantic and 10 of 13 as a small home favorite. Chicago gets their 4th straight win tonight. |
11-15-19 |
Flyers -140 v. Senators | Top | 1-2 |
Loss | -140 | 5 h 59 m | Show |
The Flyers have won 8 straight games as a small road favorite and 16-5 as a favorite overall. Ottawa is never where you want your money considering they're just 21-44 in their last 65 games. The Flyers own a 5 game point streak and wasn't at their best against the Caps but still managed to get a point. |
11-13-19 |
Capitals -110 v. Flyers | Top | 2-1 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show |
The Capitals have won 6 of their last 7 road games and have won 22 of their last 28 overall. The Flyers have dropped 10 of their last 14 as a dog. The Flyers won't get away with giving up a lead against the division leading Capitals. |

Oilers v. Ducks -120 | Top | 6-2 |
Loss | -120 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
If you've followed the Oilers for any amount of time you know that betting them as a road dog has been a losing proposition where they've won just 32% of their games in this situation, dating back years. They've also lost 7 straight games after allwowing 2 goals or less in their previous games. I'll take the Ducks at home. |
11-07-19 |
Blue Jackets v. Coyotes -140 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -140 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
The Jackets haven't been a good play in situation as a small dog. When receiving less than +150 the Jackets are just 19-42 and just 10-26 overall, dating back to last season. They've also dropped 5 straight games against teams with a winning record and 5 straight overall. |
11-06-19 |
Blues v. Oilers -139 | Top | 5-2 |
Loss | -139 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
The Blues have dropped 5 of their last 7 games against teams with winning record and are just 3-13 against teams with a win percentage over .600. They played an overtime game in Vancouver last night allowing fatigue to play a factor in this one. |
11-05-19 |
Wild v. Ducks -128 | Top | 4-2 |
Loss | -128 | 16 h 60 m | Show |
The plus money is attractive but the Wild are just 16-36 as an underdog and just 16-40 overall. The Wild have dropped 8 of 10 against teams with a winning record. The Wild have scored 2 goals or less in 7 games this season. |
11-05-19 |
Blues v. Canucks -118 | Top | 2-1 |
Loss | -118 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
The Blues are the defending Stanley Cup champions but we're starting to see a trend when they step up in competition. The Blues have dropped 10 of their last 12 against teams with a winning record and 22 of 28. I'll take the surprising Canucks at home. |
11-04-19 |
Coyotes +105 v. Oilers | Top | 3-2 |
Win | 105 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
The Coyotes aren't the team we've seen for many years, instead they're on a 6 game winning streak against the Western Conference and 14-4 overall. They've also won 6 straight games as a dog. Get the small plus money here. |
11-04-19 |
Penguins v. Bruins -155 | Top | 4-6 |
Win | 100 | 2 h 27 m | Show |
The penguins have always been a solid play through the years but when they find themselves as a big dog they have been a go against. As a dog of -150 or more, Pittsburgh is just 44-90 and 2-6 more recent.
Boston has won 11 of 13 against the Eastern Conference and are on a 5 game win streak that I'm not getting in the way of. |
11-03-19 |
Blackhawks v. Ducks -147 | Top | 3-2 |
Loss | -147 | 16 h 30 m | Show |
I can't back the Blackhawks in most cases, especially on the road where they've lost 41 of their last 61. They're playing their second game of a back to back against a Ducks team who will suffocate you with a lead. |
11-02-19 |
Blackhawks +110 v. Kings | Top | 3-4 |
Loss | -100 | 17 h 23 m | Show |
The Kings haven't been a strong play as a favorite, losing 13 of their last 19 games in that spot. They've also dropped 11 of their last 15 games as a small favorite. The Hawk's are in a must win situation against a Kings team who are more than beatable. |
11-01-19 |
Canucks +106 v. Ducks | Top | 1-2 |
Loss | -100 | 16 h 17 m | Show |
The surprising Canucks have won four of five and two straight after crushing the Kings two nights ago. Vancouver has outscored their opponents 25-15 over their last 5 games. They've won 6 straight games against the West and 16 of 21 overall. Take the Canucks. |
10-30-19 |
Canucks -113 v. Kings | Top | 5-3 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
Vancouver crushed the Kings 8-2 in their first meeting and after watching the Kings get handled easily by the Blackhawks, I'm not sure they're in a position to do anything about it. Vancouver has now won 8 of their last 10 as a small favorite; that trend continues tonight. |
10-29-19 |
Jets -101 v. Ducks | Top | 4-7 |
Loss | -101 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
The Anaheim Ducks were pummeled against the Vegas Golden Knights in a game that can only be described as the worst game the Ducks have played in their history. The Ducks have dropped 3 of their last 4 games and Josh Manson will be out for an extended period with a lower body injury while Ondrej Kase is out with an upper body injury. Take the Jets and the small price. |
10-21-19 |
Blue Jackets v. Maple Leafs -185 | Top | 4-3 |
Loss | -185 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
The amount of shots the Jackets are putting on goal are impressive, the problem is none of them are finding their way past opposing goaltenders. With the loss of Duchene, Panarin, and 'Bob' this isn't the same Jackets team. This will be an easy winner. |
10-20-19 |
Capitals -128 v. Blackhawks | Top | 5-3 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 49 m | Show |
Braden Holtby is better than he's shown so far this season even though his team hasn't suffered for his average play. The Blackhawks give up almost 35 shots a game which allows teams to win the Corsi battle which should result in less shots on Holtby. |
10-17-19 |
Predators -119 v. Coyotes | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -119 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
The Arizona Coyotes swatted a fly off their shoulder against the Vegas Golden Knights of late but I still don't know if I can be confident with them against the better teams in the league. Injuries are starting to creep again as this seems to be a yearly issue. Until I feel comfortable I have to go against the 'Yotes against the better teams. |
10-16-19 |
Hurricanes +119 v. Sharks | Top | 2-5 |
Loss | -100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
For a team who puts a lot of shots on goal I can't rely on Martin Jones to win my wager. Sharks goaltenders last year combined for a save percentage under .889 and lets face it, these are two teams going in separate directions. I'll take the 'Canes to bounce back after a loss to the Kings along with the plus price. |
10-13-19 |
Flames v. Sharks -123 | Top | 1-3 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
After getting crushed by Vegas on Saturday its hard for me to back the Flames one night later against a team that is at home and desperately needs a win. I can't rely on the Flames PP which is a huge key when handicapping games. They are not a live dog in this one. |
10-12-19 |
Flyers +102 v. Canucks | Top | 2-3 |
Loss | -100 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
The Flyers kick off their Western road swing tonight and we're going to grab them at their freshest. Last season, the Flyers had the highest winning percentage against the Pacific Division (.625) than any other division, going 8-4-4. Take the Flyers and the small plus money tonight. |
10-12-19 |
Blues -113 v. Canadiens | Top | 3-6 |
Loss | -113 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
The Blues have been fantastic this season with points in their first four game. I worry about them on the defensive end at times but any deficiency they have there they'll be able to overcome that on the offensive end. |
10-11-19 |
Islanders v. Hurricanes -168 | Top | 2-5 |
Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
A weak schedule tonight but this is the best of the three games. The Hurricanes are giving their fans some hope as they have started off undefeated and now face an Islanders team that they should handle without problem. The culture that's being built in Raleigh can take them deep into the postseason and certainly past New York. |
10-11-19 |
Panthers -123 v. Sabres | Top | 2-3 |
Loss | -123 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
Curious line here as the Sabres look for their third straight home win.The big offseason move for the Florida Panthers was the addition of goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to seven-year, $70 million contract. So far, things have not gone well. In three starts, the 31-year-old goaltender has a .859 save percentage. According to Evolving Hockey, he has the lowest goals saved above expected rating in the league (-5.19). I was expecting to see a plus number here but I expect "Bob" to right the ship tonight. |
10-10-19 |
Bruins -105 v. Avalanche | Top | 2-4 |
Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
If you watched the Bruins dominate the Vegas Golden Knights, at T-Mobile Area, earlier in the week you know that this Bruins team is for real. They have a tremendous amount of young depth mixed with unmatched star power at the top. Take the Bruins but perhaps tread lightly until we're sure Rask is 100%. |
10-08-19 |
Bruins v. Golden Knights -135 | Top | 4-3 |
Loss | -135 | 18 h 35 m | Show |
The home ice advantage for the Golden Knights could be the best in hockey so when you have two teams that are even the home building makes a difference.
This game will come down to special teams and I need to see more from Boston before I can say they've gotten over their PK issues from a year ago. |
10-08-19 |
Sharks v. Predators -162 | Top | 2-5 |
Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
The Sharks have been outscored 12-3 in their 3 losses. The problem is that the Sharks have yet to find offensive stability and they won't against one of the best netminders in the NHL in Pekka Rinne. |
10-08-19 |
Ducks +102 v. Red Wings | Top | 3-1 |
Win | 102 | 13 h 24 m | Show |
The Ducks made a change behind the bench and hired new head coach Dallas Eakins, who has the team playing a more uptempo style. The numbers all say to take Detroit but I think this Ducks team is better than the unreliable road club of last season. |
