10-31-22 | Kings +115 v. Blues | Top | 5-1 | Win | 115 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
The St. Louis Blues will try to snap one of their worst slumps in recent years when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. The Blues have been dealt four consecutive regulation losses for the first time since Craig Berube took over as head coach during the 2018-19 season. Opponents have outscored the Blues 20-7 during the current downturn. Meanwhile, the Kings earned an impressive 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at home Saturday in advance of their trip to St. Louis. The Kings have won two of their past three games after a 3-4 start. It leaves the Blues feeling the urgency to clean up their game. "It's unacceptable to play like this," Blues winger Vladimir Tarasenko said, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We have some time before the next game to figure it out. | |||||||
10-31-22 | Red Wings v. Sabres -150 | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings have opened the season well despite slow starts from two of the game's rising stars. However, the Sabres' Tage Thompson and Lucas Raymond of the Red Wings both look to build on a much-needed strong performance when the teams meet Monday night in Buffalo. Thompson enjoyed a breakout campaign with 38 goals and 30 assists in 2021-22 but had just a goal and two assists in his first seven contests. He added to his total in 2022-23 by scoring twice in the third period -- and adding an overtime assist -- in Buffalo's 4-3 comeback victory against Chicago on Saturday. It was the Sabres' fifth win in eight games to open this season. "I think it was a matter of time," Thompson said. "If you're getting chances, I think that's all you can ask for. If you're getting chances, I think they're bound to go in." Thompson has just two goals with an assist in seven career games against Detroit, which swept the four-game 2021-22 season series from the Sabres. Three of those contests were decided in overtime. Meanwhile, the Red Wings avoided a third straight defeat with Saturday's 2-1 home win over Minnesota. Raymond scored his first two goals for Detroit after recording just two assists through his first seven contests of the season. It was a welcome relief for Raymond, whose 57 points (23 goals, 34 assists) as a rookie last season ranked third on the team, and led to high expectations for this one. "My focus is playing the right way," Raymond said. "I know that good things will happen." Raymond was a big reason for the Red Wings' success over Buffalo last season, recording two goals and four assists during those four meetings. "He's a key guy for us," Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. "With his minutes, and how he plays, we need quality play out of him." Detroit, which has four wins -- and the same 10 points as Buffalo -- from its first eight games this season, will try to win back-to-back contests for the first time since opening with victories over Montreal and New Jersey. Ville Husso made 30 saves Saturday and is 3-1-1 with a 2.40 goals-against average to begin his Red Wings career. However, Detroit backup Alex Nedeljkovic has allowed 12 goals in his first three contests this season. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Oilers v. Flames -140 | 3-2 | Loss | -140 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers renew their Battle of Alberta rivalry on Saturday night when the two teams play for the second time in the span of two weeks. The reigning Pacific Division-champion Flames won the first meeting, 4-3, in Edmonton on Oct. 15, jumping out to a 4-1 lead in the first 10:18 and then withstanding an Oiler third-period comeback that featured two goals, including one by Connor McDavid. Backup goaltender Dan Vladar made 26 saves, including a pair in the final seconds during a goalmouth scramble to seal the win. The Flames, in the midst of an eight-game homestand, will be playing their second game over a seven-day span and will be coming in off a four-day break following an impressive 4-1 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Nazem Kadri scored twice and Jacob Markstrom turned aside 32 shots. Calgary and Edmonton enter the contest tied for second in the Pacific with 10 points behind the Vegas Golden Knights. However, due to a strange scheduling quirk, the Flames have played a Pacific Division-low six games so far this season -- three fewer than Vegas (after it hosts Anaheim on Friday), and two fewer than Edmonton -- and are in the middle of a stretch of two games in nine days. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Avalanche -130 v. Islanders | 4-5 | Loss | -130 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Josh Bailey is sure to look back fondly on Friday night when he scored the game-winning goal against the Carolina Hurricanes and played in his 1,000th game with the New York Islanders. The Islanders hope the night also will be looked upon as the game when Brock Nelson got untracked. The Islanders will get another chance to face a contender on Saturday night when they oppose the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche in Elmont, N.Y. Both teams will complete back-to-back sets after playing on the road Friday night. Nelson scored twice for the Islanders, who never trailed while beating the Hurricanes 6-2 in Raleigh, N.C. The Avalanche absorbed a rare shutout defeat as they fell to the New Jersey Devils 1-0 in Newark, N.J. Bailey put the Islanders ahead for good at 3-2 with 3:34 left in the second period before Nelson scored consecutive goals within the first 12 minutes of the third. The goals were the first of the season for Nelson, who scored a team-high 81 the previous three seasons combined. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Jets v. Coyotes +132 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
After playing their first six games of the season on the road, the Arizona Coyotes are looking forward to their debut in the cozy confines of Mullett Arena in Tempe, Ariz. The Coyotes will face the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night in Arizona State University's new 5,000-seat arena. "It's a new chapter of hockey in Arizona and in Tempe," Coyotes forward Clayton Keller said. "I think everyone is excited and there will be a lot more eyes and a lot of people talking more about hockey." The Coyotes were basically thrown out of their old home, Gila River Arena, which refused to renew their lease. The team is negotiating with Tempe for a new arena, with the City Council expected to vote on that late next month. In the meantime, the Coyotes have a three-year deal with Arizona State to play in what will be, by far, the NHL's smallest venue. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Avalanche -130 v. Devils | 0-1 | Loss | -130 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Four wins in their last five games have steadied the New Jersey Devils, whose season-opening two-game losing streak was a discouraging start for a team hoping to step forward as a playoff contender following a lengthy rebuild. Now the Devils get an opportunity to find out just how much they've improved by facing the most impressive contender of them all. The Devils will look to maintain their winning ways Friday when they host the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche in Newark, N.J. Both teams have been off since earning wins Tuesday, when the visiting Devils trounced the Detroit Red Wings 6-2 and the Avalanche continued their six-game, multi-national road trip by edging the New York Rangers 3-2 in a shootout. New Jersey's most lopsided win of the season came in the second game of a back-to-back set. The Devils traveled to Detroit after falling 6-3 at home to the Washington Capitals on Monday night. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Capitals v. Stars -118 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
The slumping Nashville Predators will seek their first victory on North American soil this season when they host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. The Predators are 0-4-1 since Oct. 7-8, when they won back-to-back games against the San Jose Sharks in Prague as part of the NHL's Global Series. They scored just nine goals over the losing streak. "Our focus is continuing to get better," Nashville coach John Hynes said. "As I said, you have to take the situations for what they are. We haven't won here in five games. I think there are different reasons for that." The Predators haven't played since last Saturday, when they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers, 3-1. They have used the scheduling break to regroup ahead of their game against the Blues at Bridgestone Arena. | |||||||
10-25-22 | Lightning -134 v. Kings | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -134 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
One of the early challenges for many NHL teams is adjusting to the busy first month of the season while trying to rack up as many points as possible. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Los Angeles Kings have already experienced challenges with their schedules heading into their Tuesday night matchup in Los Angeles. The Lightning will have played on back-to-back days three times in their first eight games when they face the Kings and then turn around and visit the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. The Kings are coming off five games in eight days on an East Coast trip that started with surprising success before running on fumes toward the end. The Lightning hasn't let their hectic schedule affect them so far. They are coming off a nice weekend, beating the Florida Panthers, 3-2, in overtime on Friday in Sunrise, Fla., and a day later downing the visiting New York Islanders, 5-3. They split their other back-to-back set, beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-2 on Oct. 14, and losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-2 the following day, both on the road. Tampa Bay wasn't as sharp on Saturday against New York as it was the night before against the Panthers, but Brayden Point, Brandon Hagel, and Nick Paul each contributed a goal and an assist, as goalie Brian Elliott stopped 32 of 35 shots in his second start of the season. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Hurricanes -145 v. Canucks | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
The Carolina Hurricanes are about to reach the conclusion of a brutal road trip and they're looking for one last prize to take home. This trek, which covers almost two weeks, winds down with Monday night's game against the Vancouver Canucks. "This road trip from heck, just a bad road trip," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "It's way too much time on the road to play only this amount of games." The Hurricanes are 2-1-1 on the trip. More than two weeks will have elapsed between home games when they take the ice Friday night. | |||||||
10-23-22 | Ducks v. Red Wings -124 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
The Anaheim Ducks will look to end a four-game slide when they visit Detroit on Sunday afternoon. They are wrapping up a five-game road trip, which also included stops in New York, New Jersey and Boston. Their losses to the Islanders, Rangers and Devils came in regulation. The Ducks then dropped a shootout against the Bruins, 2-1, on Thursday. "We're obviously playing better," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. "Would have liked to have both points (on Thursday), but a small step in the right direction. "I thought our (penalty) killers did a great job. Our D was solid. It's been a sore point early, but a much better effort and much better detail." Anaheim's penalty killing has also improved, as it hasn't allowed a power-play goal in each of the last two games. | |||||||
10-23-22 | Seattle Kraken -144 v. Blackhawks | 4-5 | Loss | -144 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
Two teams coming off feel-good wins could both be without their No. 1 goalies when the Seattle Kraken visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday afternoon. The Kraken head to the Windy City after dispatching the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche by a 3-2 final on Friday. The win, their second of the season, ended a three-game losing streak (0-2-1) for Seattle. "It's something to build off of," forward Jared McCann said. "I feel like we played awesome in those California games and kind of fell short. So, to get this one, you can just build from there." The victory proved to be costly, however, as goaltender Philipp Grubauer left midway through the third period with an undisclosed injury. Coach Dave Hakstol didn't have an update after the game, leaving his status unknown for Sunday. Seattle has earned points in four of its six games thus far aided by a power play that's connected seven times on 24 opportunities for a 29.2 percent success rate. The Kraken has scored with the man advantage in five of their six games. Goalie Petr Mrazek left the game after the second period with a groin strain and did not practice Saturday. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Jets v. Stars -137 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
So much for the NHL schedule-makers best-laid plans. Winnipeg's game on Monday night at Dallas was supposed to feature the return of former Stars head coach Rick Bowness -- who stepped down after three seasons in May -- behind the Jets' bench. But Bowness, who coached Dallas to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final, where they lost in six games to Tampa Bay, won't be on hand after testing positive for COVID-19. Associate coach Scott Arniel took over hours before Winnipeg's season-opening 4-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Friday and will handle bench duties until Bowness returns. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Avalanche -115 v. Wild | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
The celebration on opening night was special for the Colorado Avalanche, but they found out 24 hours later that winning a title means getting every opponent's best game. Colorado won convincingly in its season opener, which included a banner-raising event and the debut of goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, but then host Calgary took it to the defending champs the next night. The Avalanche have had a few days to brush off that 5-3 loss to the Flames and next will take on Central Division rival Minnesota. The Wild are 0-2 amid a four-game homestand to open their season. Colorado and Minnesota developed a rivalry over the past 20 years that made for some good playoff matchups, but the Wild have not played up to the same level as the Avalanche. They have allowed seven goals in each of their losses. Netminder Marc-Andre Fleury heard boos when he was pulled after allowing four goals in Saturday night's loss to the Los Angeles Kings. In two games, Fleury has an 8.37 goals-against average and just a .776 save percentage. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Canucks +124 v. Capitals | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
While the Washington Capitals finally earned their first victory of the season, the search continues for the Vancouver Canucks as they visit the nation's capital on Monday night. Though superstar Alex Ovechkin is without a goal through the first three games for just the second time during his illustrious 18-year career (it also happened in 2012-13), Washington won 3-1 over Montreal on Saturday after losing to Boston and Toronto earlier in the week. T.J. Oshie had a goal with an assist and Darcy Kuemper stopped 21 of 22 shots as all the game's scoring came in the second period. "We have a certain standard that we need to play up to, live up to here, that we weren't doing those first two games," said Oshie, who has three points on the young season. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Kings -135 v. Red Wings | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Kings found an unusual way to secure their first victory of the season and will play at Detroit on Monday, seeking another notch in the win column but not necessarily in the same fashion. The Kings' game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday was indeed wild, as they pulled out a 7-6 victory at the start of a five-game road swing. They lost at home to Vegas and Seattle prior to the trip. "Strange night," head coach Todd McLellan said. "Maybe that's what we needed to get a win and find a way. (Now) rest, and get ready for Detroit." Adrian Kempe led the offense with two goals and an assist, including the game-winner at 8:03 of the third period. Matt Roy, Alex Iafallo and Gabriel Vilardi each contributed a goal and an assist, while Anze Kopitar had three assists. Los Angeles scored a combined four goals in its first two games. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Ducks -117 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 65 h 10 m | Show |
The Ducks were 15-7 when listed as a money-line favorite last season.Anaheim went 12-3 when it played as a money line favorite with odds of -127 or shorter. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Bruins +134 v. Capitals | 5-2 | Win | 134 | 61 h 49 m | Show | |
This is the time of year when I like to take a lot of dogs. I know Boston will be shorthanded for a few months but I want to see the evolution of goaltender Jeremy Swayman and there's no guarantee that the Capitals don't take a step back with their own injuries to deal with. | |||||||
05-26-22 | Rangers +140 v. Hurricanes | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
The Rangers looked like they would break the postseason home winning streak of the Carolina Hurricanes in game one, and I think the confidence they're playing with right now against a team they've handled over the years, will cash a nice plus money ticket. | |||||||
05-23-22 | Panthers +112 v. Lightning | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
The Tampa Bay Lightning have been as impressive as you would expect from a 2-time Cup winner, but of we're going to get a top effort from Florida, you would expect it to be tonight or another President's trophy winner will be out the door. | |||||||
05-12-22 | Maple Leafs +120 v. Lightning | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
The Leafs are playing some of their best hockey of the year, winning 12 of their last 16 when on one days rest, and 55-25 overall. Tampa are just 5-12 against teams ver .600. | |||||||
05-08-22 | Oilers v. Kings +140 | Top | 0-4 | Win | 140 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
Although the Oilers showed the Kings who was the boss of this series with dominant win in games 2 and 3, the Kings have been resilient all season long and we've watched the Oilers long enough to know that this is a spot where they might take their foot off the pedal some. You figure that we'll get the Kings best or this series is over. | |||||||
05-06-22 | Oilers v. Kings +130 | Top | 8-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
We think there is such a difference between these two teams, but the reality is that the Oilers with all their firepower and the Kings with all their injuries, were divided by 5 points. This series is even and I think giving the bettors plus money with the home team is a joke, one that that we'll take advantage of. | |||||||
05-06-22 | Maple Leafs +107 v. Lightning | Top | 5-2 | Win | 107 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
I think the pace in this game will once again favor the over, but it's the Leafs side I want with the even money. Toronto has beaten Tampa 5 of their last 7 meetings and are 10-3 playing on one days rest. Leafs bounce back tonight. | |||||||
05-05-22 | Penguins +140 v. Rangers | Top | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
The Penguins took game simply because the Rangers didn't have an answer for the Penguins top line. Sidney Crosby was clearly the best player on the ice and Shesterkin was shaky. I know the Pens are shaky in goal now but I think I like the plus price. | |||||||
05-01-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Jets -176 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show |
These situations always favor the home team, they want to leave the NHL season with the home crowd feeling good about 22-23. It's a little more than what I like to lay but it's the right side. | |||||||
04-29-22 | Avalanche v. Wild +100 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
The Avs’s will be shorthanded with nothing to play for against the Wild who have everything to play for. Colorado is just 7-15 against Minnesota in their last 22 meetings with the home team winning 4 straight. | |||||||
04-29-22 | Golden Knights v. Blues -165 | 7-4 | Loss | -165 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
This Golden Knights team is done. They are looking forward to putting this ugly season behind them and that starts tonight. | |||||||
04-29-22 | Capitals -105 v. Rangers | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Capitals have one more shot to feel good about themselves heading into the postseason, and they must do it against the Rangers who are also looking for something good to happen after three straight. I'm not sure the goaltending match-up will be what is being posted but we still like the Capitals in this one. | |||||||
04-26-22 | Hurricanes v. Rangers -110 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
Carolina have been horrible in new York, losing 21 of their last 27 in new York and 38 of their last 55 meetings overall. The Rangers were just beaten easily by the Boston Bruins while the Hurricanes continue to roll, but this is where you have to know when to get off what seems obvious. | |||||||
04-16-22 | Hurricanes v. Avalanche -127 | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
This is one of the bets prices you'll ever get with the Avalanche at home so we're going to take full advantage. The Hurricanes have dropped 10 of 13 in Colorado. | |||||||
04-15-22 | Islanders v. Canadiens +131 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
Montreal has had the Islanders number of late, winning four of their last 5 games and although New York has been terrific over the last month, they have lost 13 of 18 playing the second of a back-to-back. | |||||||
04-06-22 | Canucks v. Golden Knights -155 | 5-1 | Loss | -155 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
The Vegas Golden Knights are starting to get some of their parts back, especially on defense where they welcomed back Alex Martinez which changes the entire structure of what you do on offense, at least from a confidence standpoint. The Knights will win again as they try to keep pace for that last playoff spot. | |||||||
04-02-22 | Kings v. Jets -120 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
The Kings are fresh off a win in Calgary, so naturally, the public thinks they have a plus money opportunity here but we're not going to be fooled by what we just saw. The Kings have not played well in Winnipeg, losing 4 of their last 5 meetings. The home team in this match-up is 21-10 in their last 31. | |||||||
04-01-22 | Islanders +160 v. Rangers | Top | 3-0 | Win | 160 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
You have to give the Rangers credit, they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins twice in 5 days and sprinkled in with wins against the Sabres and RedWings who could have easily been letdown spots. The Rangers have won 8 of their last 10 but one of those losses came to their nemesis, the New York Islanders. The islanders have won 5 of their last 6 meetings with the underdog winning 16 of their last 21 meetings at MSG. The islanders are out of the playoff picture but it doesn’t mean Barry Trotz doesn’t have his boys ready for what surely will be a much better team next season. The Islanders have some lower level deals to figure out over the offseason but this is mostly the team you’ll see next year which is why they’ve won 9 of their last 13 games. Win tonight would be the ultimate message sent to the Eastern conference for 22-23. | |||||||
03-30-22 | Blues v. Canucks -103 | 4-3 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
This is simply a game that the Vancouver Canucks need to win after taking it on the chin against the Blues a few nights ago. I still think Thatcher Demko is one of the bets goaltenders in the league that no one has heard of, I anticipate that he'll shine tonight. | |||||||
03-29-22 | Maple Leafs +125 v. Bruins | Top | 6-4 | Win | 125 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
The Boston bruins have been terrific since the beginning of the new year, getting points in 28 of 37 games. I suspect the public will push this number up giving us a nice plus money price with team who is 39-19 in their last 58 overall. This will come down to special teams which is an area the Bruins failed in the last time these two teams met. Toronto is the TOP power play unit in the league and should get a chance to show that off against one of the league most penalized teams in Boston. After the deadline the Leafs have more depth than prior especially with the addition of Mark Giordano. I just want to see them get one more big win before I’m all in with the B’s. | |||||||
03-26-22 | Ducks +132 v. Sharks | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 17 m | Show |
The road team in this series has won 5 of their last 7 meetings, while the Ducks have beaten the Sharks 5 straight times. San Jose has lost 21 of their last 29 Saturday games, meaning, when the lights are the brightest, the Sharks don't show up. | |||||||
03-21-22 | Predators v. Ducks +150 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
The home team in this series has won 9 of 10, that goes with the fact that the Predators haven't been great at beating teams the come off poor offensive performances. | |||||||
03-20-22 | Rangers +180 v. Hurricanes | 2-0 | Win | 180 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
This is certainly worth a shot. The Rangers have owned the Hurricanes over the years and can say the same against the entire Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes have been terrific but have dropped 5 of 7 against the Eastern Conference. | |||||||

The Penguins have been terrific on the road especially as a road favorite where they are 20-7 in their last 27 and 14-5 on the road overall. The Penguins are on a roll, catching the Blues not playing their best hockey. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Blue Jackets +125 v. Senators | Top | 4-1 | Win | 125 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
The Columbus Blue Jackets still think they have a chance to make the playoffs, which means, they need games like this in order to get there. The number is a little head scratching but we'll take the plus number in this one. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Capitals v. Oilers -119 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
The Washington Capitals have won 3 straight games as the Caps continue their road trip. After a big win against the Flames, I don't think they'll have the same intensity level against the Oilers who are in desperate need of a win. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Rangers v. Wild -142 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
This number is begging you to take the Rangers but we're not falling for that. The Wild need this game to get back on track and despite their recent slide, have had the Rangers number over the last few seasons. NY is just 4-9 in their last 13 as a road dog. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Coyotes v. Red Wings -167 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -167 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
The Coyotes are coming off two big wins against Ottawa and Colorado while the Wings have lost two straight and 4 of 5, but their last two losses came to Florida and Tampa. Historically, the Coyotes have not played well against Detroit and certainly not in Detroit where they have dropped 9 of 13. This number is begging you to take the Yotes but we're not falling for that. | |||||||
03-04-22 | Penguins v. Hurricanes -129 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
The Penguins are playing their second game of back to back nights with last night being a big road win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Hurrucanes need this game to put some distance between them and the Canes who are coming on strong in the Metro. Carolina has one game in hand and with a win tonight will give them some security in the top spot. Big ask for the Penguisn to win both. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Oilers -133 v. Blackhawks | 3-4 | Loss | -133 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
The Oilers are always a dangerous hockey team, especially on special teams. I do worry some about consistent zone entry effectiveness but they still are crushing 27% of their chances. This is a must win for the Oilers. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Hurricanes -118 v. Capitals | 0-4 | Loss | -118 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
The Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the league at circling the puck, keeping the opposition moving. On defense they create pressure points all over the ice, allowing very little room for their opposition. Carolina continues the Capitals slide. | |||||||

1- This is the time of year when the Lightning just seem to get stronger. I don’t think John Cooper gets the credit he deserves as one of the top coaches in all of hockey. A- Cooper is constantly pushing the right buttons to keep his team hungry despite winning back to back cups.
B- It all starts with Cooper’s top line that features two guys, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov who have combined for 41pts since January 6th and 24 over their last 10 games.
2-Talk about never give up; the Lightning have won 14 times this season after allowing the first goal with the most recent example coming Tuesday against Ottawa where they gave up the first two games before storming back to maul the Sens, 5-2
3-On home ice, the Lightning have lost just once since late October, 17-4-4 on the season. 4-They’ve won 5 straight games and 14 of 18; only 4 of those games have been one goal games; so not only are they winning they are finding that separation we talk about. - Penguins are 1-5 in their last six meetings in Tampa and 1-5 overall. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Kings v. Stars -132 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
This match-up falls under the umbrella of another angle that Dana has used all season. When a home team is playing a quality opponent and the number isn't going to hurt our bankroll, we are going to be on the home team. Dallas has beaten LA in 6 of the last 8 meetings and has won 24 of their last 33 home games. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Blues v. Rangers -105 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
I have looked for home teams playing quality teams, which usually douses the number some, allowing us the get a good team at home without having to risk the normal money. The public will be on the Blues so wait to get the best number. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Bruins -170 v. Ducks | 3-4 | Loss | -170 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
This is usually not a spot i like to get involved with but I think the Bruins are a train that I'm not ready to get in front of. Boston is on their longest win streak of the season and with the Bruce Cassidy line changes, it has allowed Boston to not be so top heavy. This is a big number but the bruins are the play. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Devils v. Blue Jackets -107 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Impressive showing by the Devils last night against Vancouver but it'll be a different story against the Jackets who can see some light at the end of the playoff tunnel now. They must win these games to Capitalize on Washington's recent slump. | |||||||
02-28-22 | Maple Leafs -130 v. Capitals | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
The Leafs have been on fire on offense this season. Toronto has scored three goals or more in eight out of their last 10 games. They rank fourth in goals per game, sixth in shots per game, 10th in shooting %, and fifth in scoring efficiency ratio. Auston Matthews leads the Leafs with 68 points. He is first in the league in goals, with 37 goals on the season. Mitchell Marner has 54 points in 43 games played. John Tavares and William Nylander each have 48 points. This is a very talented offense. | |||||||
02-28-22 | Canucks v. Devils -106 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
Offensively, the Devils have had a strong month of February with 32 goals scored in eight games. Bratt remains the leading scorer on the Devils with 48 points in 47 games including a career-high 18 goals. In terms of points per game, Hughes is now the team leader with 36 points in 32 games (15 goals). Over an 82 game season, Hughes would output 38 goals and 92 points. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Islanders v. Ducks -115 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
The Islanders are having a rough season with their offense struggling immensely, scoring only 2.51 goals per game. While Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, and Mathew Barzal have combined for 45 goals and 40 assists to lead the top two lines, the rest of the forward unit has struggled. Only seven forwards have scored seven goals or more and opposing defenses can eliminate the struggling offense as a result. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Avalanche -145 v. Golden Knights | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
The Golden Knights have not been as reliable without Mark Stone in the line-up and with an Avalanche team coming in plenty focused with another chance to show Vegas that they are the class of the West. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Bruins -174 v. Sharks | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
The Boston Bruins have won three straight games and now find themselves facing a Sharks team who are sinking fast in the West. They're coming off a win against the Islanders but now they are being asked to step up in class. They're not good enough to beat Boston. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Lightning -170 v. Predators | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
This is the time of year when I start to take more chances because there is going to be separation between teams as we go on. Tampa is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings and 4-1 in Nashville. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Devils v. Blackhawks -126 | Top | 5-8 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
The money is predictably pouring in on the New Jersey Devils after their 6-1 win against the Penguins last night. I'm not taking a horrible hockey team and betting on them on the second of back to back nights, The number is as good as there is out there. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Islanders -125 v. Sharks | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
The Sharks have dropped 7 straight games after their shootout loss to the Ducks, Tuesday. Anthony Stolarz was terrific in his 40 save outing and I think we’ll have an even bigger advantage in net tonight with Sorokin who I would put ahead of Sorokin and certainly is better than James Reimer. The Sharks are now 9 points out of a playoff spot and are just 1-5-4 in their last 10. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Wild v. Maple Leafs -135 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
This looks like an easy winner with the Leafs losing three straight games against the Wild who have dropped three of their last 4 games and are 2-5 in their last 7 games as a road dog. The Leafs have been a reliable home wager, winning 23 of their last 32 games. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Capitals v. Rangers -113 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
The Rangers have been a cash cow all season long and have been consistent as a home favorite against teams over .500. Shultz or Oshie maybe back for the Capitals tonight but don't let that sway your opinion. Never good to go against Shesterkin. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Sabres -102 v. Canadiens | 0-4 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Let's not get too caught up in the recent Montreal Canadiens success, they re still one of the worst teams in the NHL and are playing a Sabres team that can actually push themselves up closer to the wild card teams than they are to the bottom, with a few wins. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Islanders -145 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
The Islanders defense has been decent but goaltending has been very good for New York. The team ranks fifth in goals against per game, 14th in shots against per game, and sixth in opponent shooting % and save %. Ilya Sorokin has a record of 15-11-6 with a 2.44 GAA and a .921 SV%. He is tied for second in the league in shutouts, with four shutouts on the year. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Sharks v. Ducks -150 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
The San Jose Sharks are a complete mess. Their best players are on the IR, they are in salary cap hell, and are falling farther from the playoff picture with every passing day. I'm laying a little more than I would like but the Ducks are the better team. | |||||||
02-20-22 | Wild -105 v. Oilers | Top | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show |
As predicted, there is a ton of money coming in on the Edmonton Oilers. That was easy to see because common sense tells you that the Wild are struggling some with the Oilers seem to have found their scoring touch again. Don't be fooled, the Wild are the better team the play here | |||||||
02-19-22 | Oilers -114 v. Jets | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show |
The Edmonton Oilers are starting to score goals in bunches again, while I' still not confident enough that the Jets are a consistent go to team. Noce win against the Wild but can they rip off a string of wins against the better teams. | |||||||
02-18-22 | Stars -149 v. Blackhawks | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Dallas has won 5 straight games on the road and are 16-5 in their last 21 as a favorite. | |||||||
02-17-22 | Bruins v. Islanders -105 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Patrice Bergeron is coming back for the Bruins tonight but that doesn't mean jump on the Bruins. The Islanders are playing much better defensively and they'll hold the Bruins down tonight. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Wild -130 v. Jets | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -130 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
I can't bet the Jets after an opportunity to grab two points from a weaker team went by in a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Wild are in a revenge spot and are clearly the better team. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Islanders -189 v. Sabres | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -189 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
This isn't the type of number I like to get involved with many times but I think you're going to start seeing some real separation between teams from here on out. This is an easy winner and I'm taking advantage of everything the books give from here on out. | |||||||
02-14-22 | Blackhawks v. Jets -155 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -155 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
For a team that was built to compete for the Stanley Cup, the Jets have done everything but. This is their last chance to make expected noise in the West and order to do that they can't lose to teams like the Blackhawks. | |||||||
02-13-22 | Avalanche -150 v. Stars | Top | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
With wins in each of their past two games, the Stars begin a home-and-home set against one of the league's juggernauts: the Colorado Avalanche. Boasting the league's best points percentage (.778), the Avs sit atop the league with 70 points and a 33-8-4 record. They became the first team to reach 70 points this season, hitting the mark faster than any club in franchise history (45 games). They have points in 18 straight games (16-0-2) and have one regulation loss in their past 25 (21-1-3). | |||||||
02-10-22 | Blue Jackets -110 v. Sabres | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 2 m | Show |
The Buffalo Sabres are absolutely decimated by injuries at this point. They face a Jacket team that every time we try to bury them they rear their head and beat a team like the Washington Capitals. I won't be on the Sabres very much the rest of the season. | |||||||
02-09-22 | Predators v. Stars -105 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
The Stars are hoping a successful stretch leading into the All-Star break can spur them up the standings in the second half of the season. Dallas won five of seven games heading into the pause but still remains on the outside looking in at the playoff picture. | |||||||
02-08-22 | Golden Knights v. Oilers +105 | Top | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
This is a game that the Oilers need to finally wipe the bad taste out of their mouths after a long losing streak followed by 5 wins on their last 6 games but you have to think that a win over Vegas would be the final icing. I'm interested to see if the Knights are ready to go or are still on the ASB where they played a huge role in hosting the event. | |||||||
01-21-22 | Stars v. Red Wings -102 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -102 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Anyone think the way the Stars played defense last night is an example of what you want to put money behind? It was one of the worst defensive efforts this season. I suspect that their defensive effort will be better, but Detroit has enough depth to hurt an even average performance. | |||||||
01-20-22 | Blue Jackets +106 v. Flyers | 2-1 | Win | 106 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
Shutting down the Flyers zone entry is the key in this match-up. The Flyers entry percentage has been horrible all season but over the last few games that numbers has been over 50% which indicates that they are improving moving through the neutral zone. I think the Jackets will have just enough. | |||||||
01-07-22 | Capitals -103 v. Blues | 1-5 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
The Blues’ captaincy shifted from Alex Pietrangelo, who departed, to Ryan O’Reilly. The leaving of Pietrangelo and the loss of Bouwmeester forced a reshaping of the Blues’ defensive corps, and many fans are not happy with what they’ve become. They’re smaller, they’re less aware, they’re slower, and - based on Wednesday night’s loss to the Penguins - they’re completely ok with allowing four unanswered goals. You can’t take your foot off of the gas against the Pens, yet the Blues sat back on their lead - and lost. Niko Mikkola poked the dragon with a completely unnecessary fight against Sidney Crosby, which jumpstarted the wrong team. Risk taking gets you nowhere against the Penguins, and it gets you even further from nowhere against the Washington Capitals. | |||||||
01-04-22 | Predators v. Golden Knights -107 | 3-2 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
The Golden Knights haved used injuries and Covid protocols to tap into depth I'm not sure they even knew they had. Broissant will get the start tonight but I expect his best knowing his starts will be limited again with Robin Lehner coming back soon. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Lightning +102 v. Rangers | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 47 m | Show |
For as bad as Tampa has been over their last three games, they still have a 6-1-1 record against the Rangers. I know Tampa is absolutely getting crushed by Covid but we should get their best effort in this one. I've always thought ot takes a few games for the moving pieces to fall into place. Tampa gets back on track this afternoon. | |||||||
01-01-22 | Canucks -105 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
To many breakdowns with this Kraken team who plays well for 55 minutes but those extra five are disastrous. Vancouver have found new life under Bruce Boudreau and once again the bookmakers are putting up a silly number involving the Kraken. | |||||||
12-11-21 | Stars -110 v. Sharks | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
San Jose has totaled 11 goals over the last three games, but allowed 14 during the same span. Adin Hill has yielded 11 of those goals while starting each one of those contests. Teammate James Reimer has stopped 61 of the 63 shots he's faced in his last two games, recording one shutout, but an illness has kept him from making a start in December. The Shars are going to fade and I want to catch it before it happens, I think this may be the start tonight. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Jets -105 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show |
I don’t understand the constant love in the line for the Kraken. This isn’t the craziest number this year but I still expected this number to be -120 or more even with a recent loss to Arizona where once again Vehmelka had to stand on his head to get a win. I know that the Jets haven’t played well of late but they are still a likely wild card team, whereas Seattle is certainly in the lower half of the league, I think these types of games are measuring sticks to see how far you’ve fallen. If you really look at the Jets of late, they beat Calgary and then got Vehmelka’d against the Yotes then beat Toronto and Jersey before losing to Carolina. It says 3-6-1 in their last 10 but I can argue that haven’t played a bad game in their last five, even battled back from 2-0 against the Cane’s. | |||||||
12-07-21 | Hurricanes -102 v. Jets | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
First game of a road trip, give that to me all day. That's when teams are at their best with an extra sprinkle of we want to get this trip off to a good start. Carolina hasn't been playing great of late, but a quality win on the road will right the ship. | |||||||
11-29-21 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres +130 | 7-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Let's not get too pverboard with the Kraken just yet. A big win against Florida for sure, but they are still just 3-7 in their last 10 while Buffalo has been more than competitive especially at home. Public will be all over the Sabres so make sure to get this bet in early. | |||||||
11-22-21 | Penguins +109 v. Jets | Top | 3-1 | Win | 109 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
Pittsburgh is 2-0-2 in its past four games after going 1-7-1 in its previous nine. The Penguins have scored at least four goals in four of their past five games. Winnipeg is 1-2-0 in its past three games after going 4-0-1 in its previous five. The Jets have allowed at least four goals in three straight games. | |||||||
11-15-21 | Red Wings +113 v. Blue Jackets | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
The Jackets are a perfectly average team. They’re a good test for the Red Wings in that they’re not particularly great at offense or defense nor on either special teams. They’re just... competent. The Yzerplan appears to be ahead of schedule. The Red Wings are playing well enough this season to hang around in a playoff spot. The top draft picks of former GM Ken Holland during the rebuild haven’t been paying off, like Joe Veleno or Filip “Funky Cold” Zadina. Yzerman’s first two first rounders, however, have made an immediate impact this year. Forward Lucas Raymond and defenseman Moritz Seider are second and third on the team in points, with Seider leading in assists. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Wild -110 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Usually, when a team is playing the last game of a road trip they're in a go against spot but not here. A win will make the difference between a losing or winning trip for the Wild, so don't expect them to be looking ahead to home against a team they're clearly better than. I scratch my head at this line, and a few other Kraken lines this season but we're going to get the best of the book tonight. | |||||||
11-11-21 | Oilers +130 v. Bruins | Top | 5-3 | Win | 130 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
The Oilers are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings, including 4-1 at Boston. They are also 25-9 when playing on one days rest. Throw out what we just saw against the Red Wings. Edmonton is #1 in shot percentage and on the Power play and has a PK that goes noticed. Take the plus money here. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Golden Knights -102 v. Canadiens | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
In their first meeting since the Habs send the Golden Knights packing for the Summer in last year's postseason, costing Vegas a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, that the Knights would be out for a little revenge in front of the Montreal faithful. This is a bad Montreal team that even with all the Knights injuries, they still are good enough to beat Montreal. | |||||||
11-05-21 | Devils +113 v. Kings | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 0 m | Show |
Bernier is expected to be back between the pipes for the Devils on Friday. Prior to his previous start, the 33-year-old had been flashing signs of a renaissance in New Jersey. Bernier allowed three goals or fewer in each of his first three starts and comes in with modest overall numbers through four contests. He owns a 3-1-0 overall record to go along with a 2.74 GAA and .907 save percentage. | |||||||
11-02-21 | Devils -118 v. Ducks | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -118 | 16 h 36 m | Show |
This is simply a situation where you're getting a Devils team who is starting a three game trip through California. Typically game one of a trip is the best so lets give up just a little juice and get some of the Devils. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Blue Jackets +106 v. Devils | Top | 4-3 | Win | 106 | 13 h 51 m | Show |
The offense has struggled but the defense has carried the Blue Jackets early on this season, allowing only 2.71 goals per game. Zach Werenski, Vladislav Gavrikov, and Jake Bean have combined for 1.7 defensive point shares and 21 blocked shots while Andrew Peeke is adding 15 blocked shots and 10 hits to give the Blue Jackets two strong defensive pairings. In addition, the Blue Jackets are seeing the incredible play from goaltender Elvis Merzlikins who has a .939 save percentage and a 1.98 goals-against average on 163 shots. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Canadiens v. Kings -107 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
The Canadiens made the Stanley Cup Finals last season but started this season badly losing their first five games. The team has won two of their last three games but the wins were facing teams that were pretty bad last season and the one loss was a bad one against expansion Seattle. | |||||||
10-22-21 | Oilers +124 v. Golden Knights | Top | 5-3 | Win | 124 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
The question remains, where are the goals going to come from? The Knights have/had seven players that were listed as day to day or worse. The Oilers are not a team that Vegas can match offensively right now, plus i think they are going to have to be more of a dump and chase team because the transition game won't work tonight with Pacioretty and Stone in the lineup. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Hurricanes -110 v. Predators | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 26 m | Show |
The favorite in this series has won 10 of the last 14 meetings, adding to the Carolina domination over Nashville winning 21 of their last 29 meetings. | |||||||
07-02-21 | Lightning -128 v. Canadiens | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Lightning defensemen are pressuring the Canadiens forwards and forcing them to take difficult shots knowing their world-class goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will likely make the save as he has been dominant in the playoffs saving .939 percent of shots while allowing only 1.8 goals per game including saving 42 of 43 shots in the Game Two win. | |||||||
06-24-21 | Golden Knights -140 v. Canadiens | 2-3 | Loss | -140 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
The Golden Knights defense has been exceptional in the playoffs, with Alec Martinez, Shea Theodore, and Alex Pietrangelo constantly creating turnovers in the defensive zone and will need to play their best hockey in the upcoming game with their season on the line. It's extremely important for the Knights to get the lead early where they are at their best. This is a big roll of the dice if DeBoer goes with Lehner tonight which insiders indicate he will. |
