12-02-22 | Senators v. Rangers -171 | 3-2 | Loss | -171 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Ottawa Senators on Friday. While these teams just met two days ago in Ottawa, the Rangers will be looking for the sweep back home at MSG. Both teams have been struggling, but the Rangers are the much better team, with all the talent in the world. Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad are poised to have monster games here in this one. Expect a beatdown. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers Line: -175 Line Parameter: play until -199 | |||||||
11-29-22 | Islanders -175 v. Flyers | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -175 | 13 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Islanders I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. While the Flyers are coming into this game off of 10 straight losses, I do not see them winning this game against the Islanders. NYI comes in off four straight wins themselves and look to be one of the best teams in form right now. This is a mismatch and we shall see that here on Tuesday evening. I'll gladly take NY. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders Line: -170 Line Parameter: play until -190 | |||||||
11-25-22 | Flames -117 v. Capitals | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -117 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Friday. People had really high hopes for the Flames coming into this season. Although they lost Tkachuk, they brought in some very talented players to replace him. They haven't been perfect by any means, but they are slowly building a better record. They are now 4-1-1 in their last six games and Markstrom is heating up between the posts. Washington, on the other hand, comes into this game off an exciting OT win against the Flyers last time out. Prior to that, they had lost four straight and haven't looked that great. Even on the road, I expect the Flames to pick up their 10th win of the year in a big game before they play the Hurricanes tomorrow. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flames Line: -120 Line Parameter: play until -142 | |||||||
11-21-22 | Oilers v. Devils OVER 6.5 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Devils OVER I am on the OVER in the Edmonton Oilers vs New Jersey Devils game on Monday. Edmonton loves to score, there's no doubt about that, and I believe that they will continue to score against the Devils in this one. New Jersey, who nobody thought was going to be good this season, is off to a ridiculous 15-3-0. They've been averaging 3.71 goals per game which is 3rd best in the National Hockey League at the moment. In their last meeting with each other, they combined for 7 goals. I expect them to reach 7 and more on Monday Night in Jersey. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Oilers Line: O/U 6.5 -135 Line Parameter: play until 7.5 +120 | |||||||
11-19-22 | Blackhawks v. Bruins -1.5 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins -1.5 I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. This is a mismatch no matter how you look at it. The Bruins have gotten off to a ridiculous 15-2-0 start, while the Blackhawks are just 6-7-3. Boston has now won five games in a row, all by two goals or more. Chicago have now lost back to back games, each by three goals. Boston is just the better team here. At home, I love -1.5 in this situation. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Bruins Line: -1.5 / -150 Line parameter: play until -1.5 / -180 | |||||||
11-16-22 | Sabres v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres/Senators OVER I am on the OVER in the Buffalo Sabres vs Ottawa Senators game on Wednesday. As the home favorite, with the worse record, the Senators will have to score a lot of goals to win this game. Buffalo is coming in off six straight losses and really need a bounce back performance here in this one. With both teams desperately falling lower and lower in the standings, I fully expect a game with lots of goal scoring here today. Give me the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Sabres. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Sharks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Knights on the puckline option. Not only do I expect the Knights to win this game, I believe they'll do so by a sizeable margin. The Sharks are off a rare 3-2 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday and I expect a predictablel letdown. Vegas is 13-3 and it's averaging 3.69 GPG and allowing 2.31. It's off a rare 3-2 home loss to St. Louis three nights ago, so expect the rested Knights to come out flying tonight! T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Knights. | |||||||
11-13-22 | Stars -160 v. Flyers | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. The Flyers will be playing in the second leg of a back to back here in this one. Although they lost to the Senators, Philly will still be a bit gassed from last night. Jake Oettinger will be back in net for Dallas. A goalie that dominated before getting hurt, and is looking to rebound after Friday's performance. I expect a big game from him and the Stars, and they have looked like one of the better teams in hockey so far this year. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Rangers -125 v. Predators | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -125 | 26 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: NY Rangers I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. Igor Shesterkin (7-2-2, 2.53 GAA) has started the season with one of the best records in the National Hockey League once again. He's got a very strong team in front of him, with guys that can really score the puck. On the other hand, the Predators have struggled to open up the year. While grabbing the first two wins in the International Series to begin, the Predators are now just 5-8-1 on the season. I believe that the Rangers are just the better team and that they will have no problem winning this game after a very strong 8 goal performance last time out. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rangers. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Penguins v. Capitals OVER 6.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -116 | 31 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Capitals/Penguins OVER I am on the OVER in the Washington Capitals vs Pittsburgh Penguins game on Wednesday. It's a rivalry like no other between Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. Although both are getting older each season, they are both still undoubtedly the leading scorers on their teams. The Penguins are averaging 3.5 goals per game, however, they have given up 3.67 goals per game. Although the Capitals have been in some low scoring games, they are coming into this one off a 5-4 win against the Oilers which should be a sign of things to come in this matchup.Last season when these two teams matched up, they saw 7+ goals in three out of their four games. Expect another game with 7+ goals here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. | |||||||
11-08-22 | Stars v. Jets UNDER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 23 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars/Jets under I am on the UNDER in the Dallas Stars vs Winnipeg Jets game on Tuesday. Both of these two teams have gotten off to very nice starts, and it's because of their defense. The Jets come in to this game having given up just five goals in their last four games. Although they've been winning, they've seen less than five total goals in six of their last seven games. Looking at the Stars, they've given up just two goals in each of their last three games. With these two teams having played each other already this season (4-1 game,) I expect them to play a lot tighter defensively in a big game for both. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Stars. | |||||||
11-08-22 | Coyotes v. Sabres -1.5 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Sabres -1.5 I like the Buffalo Sabres to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday. Off back to back losses, the Sabres find themselves back at home where they are 4-2 so far this season. Although the Coyotes have won a few games, they aren't a team that is going to make any noise at all this season. With Rasmus Dahlin potentially coming back for this game, I expect Buffalo to have no problem with their home fans behind them on Tuesday. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Sabres. | |||||||
11-07-22 | Blues v. Bruins -175 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the St Louis Blues on Monday. The Bruins come into this game off of one of their first losses of the year against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Ullmark who's now 8-1-0 will be back between the posts as well. On the other hand, the Blues have really struggled to open up the season. after starting a perfect 3-0, they are now just 3-6. I expect the Bruins to bounce back with a win here at home, and for the Blues to struggle once again on Monday. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Bruins. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Devils v. Flames -154 | 4-3 | Loss | -154 | 15 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. A great spot wager here on Calgary, as in my opinion this line could/should be a lot higher. New Jersey has won five straight. It's coming off a 4-3 win at Edmonton on Thursday, but I believe it'll finally have a letdown here in this difficult road venue. OVerall the Devils average 3.64 GPG, while allowing 2.55. The FLames come in desperate to snap a three-game home slide, most recently falling 4-1 to Nashville (note though that Calgary is 7-2 in its last nine after three or more straight losses in a row.) Calgary hits the road for three straight tough Eastern games after this at the Isles, the Devils and Boston, which clearly puts added importance onto tonight's contest. It's a pivotal early season "gut check" for the Flames here, and I expect them to deliver. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Calgary. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Blue Jackets v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets/Avs OVER I am on the OVER in the Colorado Avalanche vs Columbus Blue Jackets game on Friday. Both of these two teams come into this game, that is actually going to be played in Finland, needing a victory. Off a 5-4 loss against the Islanders last time out, the Avs have now dropped back to back games. The Jackets have lost three games themselves. I expect both of them to come out firing on all cylinders and trying to find the back of the net as much as they can in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Avs. | |||||||
11-03-22 | Predators v. Flames -175 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -175 | 30 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday. After blowing a 4-2 lead late against the Kraken on Tuesday, the Flames are looking to bounce back in a big way here today against the Predators. Calgary, who lost their best player in Johnny Gaudreau in the offseason might still be just as good as last year, if not better. Their record isn't ridiculous by any means, but Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau have been excellent additions to this very talented Flames team. Nashville comes into this one off a 7-4 loss against the Oilers (in a game where I had the Oilers.) Everyone thought that they were going to be a contender this season after their 2-0 start in Prague, but the Predators have now lost 7 of their last 8 games. At home in a game to get them back into the top spots of the Pacific Division, give me the Calgary Flames in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames | |||||||
11-02-22 | Penguins v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Sabres OVER I am on the OVER in the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Buffalo Sabres game on Wednesday. Fresh off an 8-3 victory against the Red Wings on Monday, the Sabres come into this game with all the confidence in the world. Tage Thompson has been lights out, and he showed what he is capable of doing in that game as he finished with 3 goals and 3 assists. On the other hand, the Penguins have now lost four straight games. They are in need of a great performance and will lean on Superstar Sidney Crosby to dig them out of this massive whole. However, they still own a .500 record despite the losing streak. Pittsburgh is also averaging 3.56 goals per game, while getting 37.2 shots on goal each game. I expect this to be a back and forth game with multiple goals in every period. Give me the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Pens. (Posted before Penguins game on Tues.) | |||||||
11-01-22 | Predators v. Oilers -168 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 32 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. The Oilers are starting to heat up and they are putting the rest of the NHL on notice. Off four straight wins against quality opponents, Edmonton finds themselves back at home in a great spot against the Predators. Although Nashville has won three games this season, two of them come against the Sharks in the Prague games to open up the season. In their last six meetings against each other, the Oilers have won each of them. Nashville is also only just 1-5 in their last six games played on the road. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl should have excellent games once again here and the Oilers should have no problem winning this one quite comfortably. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Oilers. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Maple Leafs v. Kings +1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings +1.5 I like the Los Angeles Kings to win this game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Off their 6-4 loss against the Jets, the Kings are just 4-5-0 on the new season. LA has been struggling a bit on the defensive end, but their offense looks very pure. So far this season, they rank 4th in face-off win percentage with a 54.6% win rate. They've also now scored 11 goals in their last 3 games. The Maple Leafs come in off back to back losses to the Golden Knights and Sharks. They haven't looked too sharp either, especially on the road. I expect the home team to keep this one close and end up pulling out on top in this big game for both teams. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Kings. | |||||||
10-28-22 | Jets -170 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 28 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Friday. Off a win, the Coyotes will be very excited coming into this game. Even though they've scored a lot of goals considering their record, Arizona is not a very strong team. They have talent up and coming, but I do not expect them to have a very good year this year. Winnipeg, on the other hand, has been solid to start the year. With a 4-3 record, the Jets now look to extend their winning streak to three straight with a win here today. It should be a mismatch from start to finish. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Jets. | |||||||
10-27-22 | Capitals v. Stars -115 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 25 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Dallas has now lost back to back games after starting the year off with a dominant 4-0-1 record. Now, they'll face a Capitals team who's looked up and down so far this year. Although the Capitals come in with a 4-3 record, they've already lost to teams like the Senators this year. At home, expect Dallas to find a way to get back in the winning column here. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Stars. | |||||||
10-25-22 | Golden Knights -170 v. Sharks | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 29 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: VGK I like the Las Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. VGK enters this game with a 4-2 record, with two one goal losses already this season. Their defense/goaltending has been magnificent so far as they've only allowed an average of 2.17 goals per game, which ranks them 3rd in the league. The Sharks come into this matchup with a 2-6 record. Although they shut out the Flyers in a 3-0 win on Sunday, the Sharks rank dead last in goals per game this season with an average of just 1.71. Although the Golden Knights find themselves playing in the second game of a back to back here, I fully expect them to be able to win this game very comfortably. T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Golden Knights. | |||||||
10-24-22 | Penguins v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Oilers OVER I am on the OVER in the Edmonton Oilers vs Pittsburgh Penguins game on Monday. The Oilers come into this game needing a win. A 2-3 start for a team that is trying to make a run in the playoffs this season is not going to cut it especially with guys like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on your team. Other than their last game against the Blues when they lost 2-0 in an embarrassing game, the Oilers and their opponents have averaged 7.25 goals per game. On the other hand, the Penguins have been pretty dominant this season with a 4-0-1 record. Pittsburgh has scored six goals in four of their 5 games and I expect them to light up the score sheet again. Don't be shocked to see even more goals than prediction here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Oilers. | |||||||
10-23-22 | Islanders +1.5 v. Panthers | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Islanders +1.5 I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Islanders are one of the best coached teams in the National Hockey League. Although they've started the year only 2-3, they've got the talent to get back to the playoffs once again this season. The Panthers come off a lucky win against the Lightning in Overtime on Friday. I expect the Islanders to win this game and I'll gladly take the points. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Islanders. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Avalanche -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -107 | 20 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche -1.5 I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Friday. Off a disappointing loss against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday in Overtime, the Avalanche will look to bounce back against a not so hot Seattle team. Off their Stanley Cup last year, the Avalanche have looked like they could very well repeat at times this year. With an easier matchup here on Friday, I expect them to bounce back in a huge way and light up the stat sheet in this one. Give me Colorado. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Avs. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -119 | 20 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Avalanche OVER I am on the OVER in the Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche game on Friday. Coming off an OT loss against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday, the Avalanche are hungry to get back in the winning column. Although the Kraken have lost four games, they've still been scoring in those game. In those four losses so far this year, they've scored 10 goals. The Avalanche have won of the most loaded offenses in the NHL so I have no doubt that they will score many goals in this game. Take the OVER. T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Avs. | |||||||
10-21-22 | Lightning v. Panthers UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 112 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Panthers UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Friday. While both teams have been scoring a lot in their first few games of the new season, they both have outstanding goaltending. The Lightning have perhaps the best goalie in the entire NHL in Andrei Vasilevskiy, and he has struggled a bit to start this year. Now, he'll go up against a Panthers team that should be slightly less scary without Huberdeau this year and I expect him to have a huge game on Friday. Give me the UNDER in what should be a battle won in the last minutes of the game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Lightning. | |||||||
10-20-22 | Ducks v. Bruins -1.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bruins -1.5 I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. Boston comes into this game off a shocking loss to the Ottawa Senators last time out. Although they lost, they still put up 5 goals. Now, against Anaheim, they'll have Linus Ullmark back in between the posts, who's got a 2-0-0 record this year. In 4 games this season, Boston has scored 21 goals. I don't expect them to keep that up all year, but they are looking very strong on the offensive side this season. Looking at the Ducks, they have really struggled this season. They started their year off with an OT win against the Kraken, but Anaheim now has dropped 3 games in a row, while giving up 17 goals in those games. Boston has been winning 57.8% of face-offs so far this year as well, which makes them the best team in hockey. That will help them win a lot of games if they keep that up. Expect the Bruins to come out hungry off their first loss, especially with them back at home on Thursday. T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Bruins. | |||||||
10-19-22 | Jets v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 32 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche/Jets OVER I am on the OVER in the Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets game on Wednesday. The Avalanche love to score. Led by Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar, this team is absolutely loaded. In three games this season, the Avs have scored 14 goals. They have also allowed 10 which has been one of the weaker points of their team. Winnipeg comes into this game with a 1-1 record. They've scored 5 goals so far, which isn't Colorado, but they've looked like they can be a threat to any team. With loads of talent on both teams, expect a lot of goals in this one. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Avs. | |||||||
10-18-22 | Flyers v. Lightning -1.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 30 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning -1.5 I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. The defending Eastern Conference Champs have struggled a bit to open up the season. They bring a 1-2 record into this matchup, but they'll be at home for the first time this season here. Tampa Bay still has their main core of superstars including Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Victor Hedman and Andrei Vasilevskiy, so I have no doubt that they will turn it around and finish the year off with another playoff berth. The Flyers, on the other hand, somehow bring a perfect record into their first game on the road this year. Last season, Philadelphia was only 25-46-11. This year, they aren't supposed to be good either. The Lightning were 51-23-8 Now, the two will face in a big spot. If the Lightning are to win this game, which they should, they will be right back in it. With a loss, they'll start the season 1-3, which is a bad sign for every team. Expect the "dynasty" of the last few seasons to dominate in their home opener. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Hurricanes -160 v. Seattle Kraken | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 22 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Monday. After the Kraken picked up their first win of the season on Thursday against the Kings, they failed to beat the Golden Knights on Saturday. Now, they'll face another very tough team in the Carolina Hurricanes, who have yet to taste defeat. In two games so far, the Canes have allowed just 2 goals. Last season the Hurricanes finished on top of the Metropolitan Division with 116 points (54-20-8,) while the Seattle Kraken ended up with on of the worst records in the entire NHL (27-49-6, 60 pts.) I know the Kraken picked up expected superstar Shane Wright, but he hasn't played the past two games and hasn't lived up to the hype so far. I expect Seattle to put up a fight, but for the Hurricanes to put them to bed in the 2nd and 3rd periods in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
10-17-22 | Coyotes v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -123 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maple Leafs/Coyotes OVER I am on the OVER in the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Arizona Coyotes game on Monday. The Coyotes aren't the greatest, and everyone knows it. They've given up 12 goals through their first two games of the season and haven't looked organized whatsoever. Although they've given up 12 goals, they have still scored 5 goals which isn't terrible. Toronto, after starting their season off with a loss against the Canadiens, have now won back to back games. Even though they've only scored 9 goals through 3 games this season, the Leafs have loads of talent. With a team due to score some points, considering the matchup, Toronto very much should be as big as a favorite as they are (-480 or even more.) Therefore, if the Coyotes are able to put up at least a goal in this one, I believe that this game will go OVER. Arizona has also seen the total go OVER in each of their last 7 games dating back to last year. Expect another high scoring game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Maple Leafs | |||||||
10-15-22 | Coyotes v. Bruins -1.5 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 31 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins -1.5 I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. Although the Coyotes have some decent players, they are just not up to the standards of these powerhouse teams. Including preseason this year, Arizona hasn't won a game (0-8.) Last season saw themselves have a 25-50-7 record, making them one of the worst teams in the NHL. For the Bruins, they come into this game off a win against the Capitals on Wednesday. Bergeron, Hall, Krejci and Pastrnak all had points in the win and I expect them to dominate again on Saturday. With the Bruins at home, they should have no problem winning this game by more than a goal. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Bruins. | |||||||
10-13-22 | Coyotes v. Penguins -1.5 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday. It will be the opening game of the year for both of these two sides and I believe that the home team will own the advantage in this one. The Penguins ended off their preseason with a huge 7-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Goaltender Tristan Jarry played very well and the top guys from this extremely talented team looked ready for the season opener. For the Coyotes, they have been a team that hasn't performed too well the past few years. They were just 25-50-7 last season and ended up with just 57 points. Not to mention they were 0-7 this preseason. I expect the Penguins to be all over them from the opening face-off on Thursday. Ride the big favorite on the puck-line in this one. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Pens. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens OVER 6.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Maple Leafs/Canadiens OVER I am on the OVER in the Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs game on Wednesday. These two teams love to score and allow goals. That is why the total is this high. Last season, the Maple Leafs averaged 3.39 goals per game in a highly explosive offense led by Austin Matthews and Mitch Marner. On the other hand, the Canadiens allowed a bunch (3.43 per game.) This young Montreal team will be a team to beat in the near future with guys like Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Nick Suzuki. Dating back to last season, the Maple Leafs have seen the total go OVER in 15 of their last 18 road games. For the Habs, they've seen 6 straight OVER's in games played against Eastern Conference opponents. I expect a high scoring/close game on Wednesday to open the year up. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Canadiens. | |||||||
10-12-22 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 31 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Although Toronto is a big favorite, I believe that the Canadiens have what it takes to upset them in this one. The Maple Leafs will be without John Tavares to open the year up, and look to be not in their best form. Montreal picked up Juraj Slafkovsky with the number 1 pick in the draft, so I expect him to make some noise in this one. Montreal might not win this game, but they'll keep it close in what should be a very competitive/high scoring opening matchup for both of these two Canadian teams. Back the home team here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Canadiens. | |||||||

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

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

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning +1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning puckline against the Colorado Avalanche in this game on Friday. The Lightning are trailing in this series 3-1 now and they are on the brink of not only elimination but losing the cup to the Avalanche in this game. They are still the B2B defending champions and I expect them to bring their best effort in this game with their backs against the wall. They had a great start in the previous game but as the game went on they let it get away from them and ended up losing in OT on home ice. The Lightning know they can't lose this game so I expect their best effort here to try and win and even if they lose, I don't expect this game to be a blowout. The Lightning already took the Avalanche to OT in the 1st game of this series in Colorado, and even their 2 meetings during the regular season went to OT so these games are always close when they play each other. The Lightning still have the better goalie with Vasilevskiy in net and I think the Lightning will score some goals in this game to keep up with anything the Avalanche throw at them. The defense was also great in the previous game and I expect these 2 teams to be neck and neck all night. I like the Lightning puckline here to win or at least keep this game close. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Lightning. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Lightning blew out the Avalanche in the 3rd game 6-2 and now that they have a win under their belt, I expect them to come with another great effort here and tie up this series. They looked a lot better than the Avs in that game and Vasilevskiy was back to his old self making some really good saves in that game. I expect Vasilevskiy to play like that again and shut the door on the Avs here with some more great saves in this game. Kuemper was also a big liability for the Avs in that game. He looked terrible giving up a ton of goals and the goals he gave up were not even on great shots either which makes his performance look even worse and I think his confidence will be a bit shaken in this game. The Lightning have shown they can score goals in this series now and I expect them to continue with the goaltending issues for the Avs. I also think the Lightning have the better goaltending here in general and I expect Vasilevskiy to steal this game if the Lightning offense gets stunted for some reason. The Lightning are still the defending champions and they look very hungry for a 3rd cup in a row now. I expect them to give a great effort on home ice here and win this game to even up the series. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Lightning. | |||||||
06-20-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning OVER 6 | 2-6 | Win | 112 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche/Lightning OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Monday. Both of the games in this series have gone over the posted total and I think this game is also going to go over too. The Avalanche have actually had 4 games in a row now with 6+ goals total in them and the Lightning have had 2 in a row now. The 2nd game of this series was over the total and the Lightning didn't even contribute to that with the Avs scoring all 7 goals to put that game over. I think there is going to be a lot of goals in this game too but I expect a much better effort from the Lightning on home ice here too. The Avs have looked really good in the 2 games and have been getting to Vasilevskiy with some really good shots and scoring chances so, as good as Vasilevskiy is, I expect the Avs to put some pucks in the net here. The Lightning were embarrassed in the previous game though and I expect them to give a better effort in this game. They are on home ice so I see them being a little more dominant here than they have been in the series thus far and I expect them to put some pucks in the net here too since they haven't really challenge Kuemper yet. Either way, I see this being a high scoring game since the Lightning won't be able to keep the Avs off the board with the speed they have and if the Lightning want to win here they are going to need to score some goals. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Lightning. | |||||||

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

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning +1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Lightning have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue that here winning this game. They have won 4 games in a row after losing the 1st 2 games of that series to the Rangers but they had a sweep over the Panthers in the previous round too so those 2 losses to the Rangers have been their only 2 losses in their previous 12 games. Those 2 losses also came right after a 10 day layoff for the Lightning after sweeping the Panthers, so they weren't at their best for that game. The Lightning really turned it on in the previous series against the Rangers and I think they have their killer instinct back with the way their defense has looked. Vasilevskiy has also looked incredible in these most recent games and I expect he will continue his great performance into this series. The Avalanche swept the Oilers in the previous round so they are facing a similar situation that the Lightning were with a long layoff before playing this series. I think we are going to see the same thing here for the Avalanche as we saw in the Lightning and I expect the Avalanche to get a slower start here and not be on the ball after such a long layoff. Even if the Avalanche win this game, I don't see them winning by more than 1 goal here since Vasilevskiy has looked so good in their games but I think the Lightning can win this game and take the series lead right off the bat here. I like the Lightning puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Lightning. | |||||||
06-11-22 | Rangers v. Lightning OVER 5 | 1-2 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Lightning OVER. I am on the over in the New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Saturday. The Rangers are down 3-2 in this series for this game in Tampa and they really have their backs against the wall here, needing a win just to even up the series and keep their hopes alive. The previous few games have been really low scoring and defensive games with great goaltending from both teams but I think we are going to see some goals in this game here. The defensive approach hasn't been working for the Rangers lately since they have been losing the previous few games like that with late goals by Tampa after being tied in the game for so long. I think they are going to be aggressive from the start of this game and I expect them to play desperately too, leaving everything out on the ice here giving their best effort. We have seen the Rangers step up this postseason in these situations specifically, they have already faced elimination in 5 different games this postseason and won all of them by scoring 4+ goals in all of them too. I don't think the Lightning are going to let the Rangers walk all over them on home ice though and I expect a lot of push back from the Lightning on home ice here. I think the Lightning will try to score quickly and take a big lead to try and deflate the Rangers here. The Rangers also know that they need to score 1st here and do it quickly because playing from behind in this game will put them in a lot of trouble. I see there being a lot of early goals in this game and I expect both teams to rack them up here as 1 team looks to move on while the other just tries to stay alive here with a win. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Lightning. | |||||||
06-09-22 | Lightning v. Rangers OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Rangers OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Rangers game on Thursday. The previous 3 games in this series have stayed under but I think this game is going to over much like the 1st game of this series. The Lightning have awoken in this series and they have finally found their offense again as the goals are rolling in now. I think their offense is going to stay hot here and score some goals in this game as Shesterkin hasn't looked as good in the previous 2 games. The Rangers have looked much better in their home games this series though and that is also true for this entire postseason. They didn't look very good in the 2 previous games but I think they will look a lot better on home ice here and I don't expect them to stand around and watch as the Lightning flip the tables on this series. I think the Rangers are going to give their best effort here and they have been known to score some goals on their home ice this postseason, I expect them to do the same here. Vasilevskiy has looked great in net for the Lightning these 2 most recent games but he has also been a better goalie in home games and he didn't look that great in the 2 road games of this series. I think that Vasilevskiy is going to look a bit shaky here being back in New York with the hostile environment and I expect him to give up some goals here. I think both teams will try to come out fast and score quickly too since this is a very important game to take a good grip on the series so I see both teams starting quickly here and trying to score an early goal to take that important lead. I see this game having lots of goals in it unlike the previous few in the series, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Lightning. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Rangers/Lightning OVER. I am on the over in the New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Tuesday. The previous 2 games in this series have been lower scoring affairs and I was on that under in the most recent game but now I'm all over this over for this game 4. The Rangers have looked like a pretty dominant team in this series and they have proved that they can matchup against this Lightning team and score goals on them. They even jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the previous game before blowing it but I expect them to put in a better effort here since they now know they need to score more than 2 goals to beat the Bolts which is something they can definitely do here. The Lightning also have looked a lot better in the games lately too and they have been ramping up more in each game. I expect them to get off to a strong start here and I see this game having some early goals in it. Both teams have done a great job on defense so far but I expect that to break down a bit as the series goes on and I can see the scoring open up in this game if there are some early goals scored here which I expect. The Lightning also peppered Shesterkin with shots in the previous game and he played great in that game but I don't think he can do that again if he gets 50 shots on him. I think the Lightning can smell the blood in the water and I expect them to give their best effort on home ice here to score some goals and try to tie this series up. I don't see the Rangers giving up here either with how they have played in every game of this series so I expect them to get some goals too. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning. | |||||||
06-06-22 | Avalanche v. Oilers +118 | 6-5 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The Oilers are now down 3-0 in the series and they are on the brink of elimination here. I think they are going to be desperate in this game and I expect them to leave everything out on the ice tonight to win this game and keep their cup hopes alive still. This is a last stand for the Oilers on home ice here and this is a game they have to win. They looked pretty good for the 1st bit of the game in their previous game but Mike Smith gave up some bad goals, the winning goal really late in that game too, and that led to their demise in that game. I think the Oilers are going to bounce back here though and I'd be shocked if the Oilers get swept here in the Western Conference finals. The Avs still have Francouz in net here and I'm not convinced he is as good as he has been playing. The Oilers have also struggled to get good shots off at him but I expect them to pepper him tonight facing elimination here and I expect them to throw pucks at the net all night. The Oilers didn't look terrible in any of these games, they just had some unfortunate situations with their goaltending. In the 1st game they scored a ton of goals on the Avs in a road game but had a terrible performance from Smith. In the 2nd game they couldn't score but their defensive effort was much better and they lost that game in a span of 3 minutes where Smith collapsed but other than that he looked good in that game. And then in the 3rd game they had a lead and all around played a really good game but again Smith let in a bad goal late that changed the landscape of that game. Smith is still a veteran goalie though with experience and a great career behind him, I expect him to step up and bounce back here since he is due for a good game. I think the Oilers are also going to put it all together here for a much better performance and I expect them to win this home game and stay alive. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Oilers. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Rangers/Lightning UNDER. I am on the under in the New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Sunday. The Lightning are down 2-0 in this series but after a very high scoring affair in game 1, they really calmed down in the 2nd game with that game going under. The Rangers won the most recent game 3-2 but they were up 3-1 and that 2nd goal for the Lightning was a late goal scored with the goalie pulled. I think this is going to be another low scoring affair like the previous game and I expect to see a great defensive effort from both teams here. The Rangers have already proved to the Lightning that goals are going to be tough to come by between their great defensive effort and their great goaltending. I think the Lightning are going to continue playing with their great defensive effort since any goals allowed in this game could end up being the game winner and neither team can really afford to be giving up tons of goals. The Rangers have been scoring a lot lately too but those games were on home ice and I expect their offense to not be as strong in this road game. I also think Vasilevskiy is going to play better on home ice here and I expect him to shut the door on the Rangers in this game. The Lightning know they aren't going to win this game with a strong offensive effort due to that Rangers defense and Shesterkin on the other side so they need to find another way to defend their leads and I expect this to be a low scoring game. I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Lightning. | |||||||

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

T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the New York Rangers on Friday. The Lightning are down 1-0 in this series after a 6-2 loss in the 1st game but I think they are going to bounce back here. They didn't look great in their previous game and were a bit rusty after the long layoff but I think they will be more prepared for this game after playing now and I expect them to get back in their groove here. That loss ended a 6 game run for the Lightning and I think they are going to come out with more fire in this game. The chants by the fans in MSG were getting brutal in that game and I think they just angered the Lightning, I expect them to get after the Rangers right away here. Vasilevskiy had a bad game but he has a very good record after a loss in the playoffs and I expect him to bounce back with a better performance too. The Rangers have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row but this is still a young team and I don't think they are going to be able to sustain that type of play in this series. I expect the Rangers to start breaking down in this game and I see the experience from the Lightning kicking in here to tie this up going back home. The Lightning are the B2B defending champions and they know they need a road win here to advance and flip the home advantage here. I expect them to get that win here and put the pressure on the Rangers going back to Tampa. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Lightning. | |||||||
06-02-22 | Oilers +1.5 v. Avalanche | 0-4 | Loss | -145 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers +1.5. I like the Edmonton Oilers puckline against the Colorado Avalanche in this game on Thursday. The Avalanche took the 1st game of this series in an 8-6 win but the goaltending was terrible on both sides and the Oilers still looked great on offense. They got off to a quick start in that game but the Avalanche started to dominate shortly after and eventually took a 7-3 lead in the game. The Oilers never quit though and they put a great effort in that game still, scoring 3 goals unanswered after that to make it a 7-6 game with a few minutes left to play. The Avalanche would go on to score an empty net goal to win the game 8-6 but almost blowing that 4 goal lead is not the best look for them and I expect the oilers to tighten up with their defensive effort here. I also think Mike Smith will bounce back in this game too, he had a terrible game in their 1st of their series against the Flames similar to this game, losing that game 9-6 but the whole team bounced back after that to win 4 games in a row and eliminate the Flames. I think Smith will play better here and I expect the Oilers to play better on defense too. Their offense is clearly still hot and Kuemper even left the previous game with an injury so he is not in the best condition. Kuemper already suffered an eye injury earlier this postseason and now he is dealing with an upper body injury, whether that is the eye injury or he is dealing with something else entirely now, that can't be good for the Avs here and I have no confidence in their backup Francouz to stand on his head for an entire game against this hot offense. I think this is a big bounce back game for the Oilers here. I like the Oilers puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. | |||||||

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

T.M. Selection: Lightning/Rangers OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Rangers game on Wednesday. The Lightning haven't been involved in many high scoring affairs lately with a pretty low scoring series against the Panthers but I think this game is going to go against that narrative as of late. The Rangers have looked a lot better in their home games this year and I think they are going to put up a good effort in this game since they have looked good lately. They have been scoring a lot more in their home games in this postseason and I think their offense will be more active in this game. They have gone to 7 games in both series they have played in though and I think fatigue will be catching up to them here too. I think that will affect their defensive effort more and Shesterkin, who has been standing on his head for so long now, is not going to hold up forever when he has already had a few bad games in this postseason. I think the Lightning offense is going to get to him here for some goals and I expect them to be well rested for this game and come out with a ton of energy. I think both teams will get on the board for some goals here but I also think that the Lightning are going to use this game to make a statement in New York and I expect them to dominate with a great offensive effort all night. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers +1.5. I like the Edmonton Oilers puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. The Oilers have been really hot lately, they have won 4 games in a row now and 6/7 of their previous 7 games. I think they are going to continue this big run they are on with another win here but I'm going to be on the puckline in case they do lose because I think it will be either a close loss for them or complete Oilers domination here. They lost the 1st game of their previous series to the Flames but won 4 in a row after to win that series and 3/4 of those wins were by 2+ goals. Even in their loss they looked great, scoring 6 goals in that game and only lost because of a really bad night for their goalkeeping. The Oilers are also scoring a ton of goals in their games lately with 4+ goals in 5 games in a row now. They are on a roll and I don't think that is going to stop here with how good they have looked lately. The Avalanche won their previous series in 6 games but they didn't always look good in their games and they even struggled to win some of the games they came out on top of. They didn't even look that good in their home games either, losing 2/3 of their home games in the previous series. The only home game they won in that series was in game 1 and the Avs had to win that game in OT. They lost the 2nd game 4-1 on home ice and then followed up with another loss in their next home game after that, losing 5-4 in OT after blowing a 3-1 lead very late in the 3rd period and then another 4-3 lead after that with less than 2 minutes left. Even in their most recent game in St Louis, they won 3-2 but were trailing 2-1 in that game until they tied it in the 3rd period and they never even led in that game until scoring with 4 seconds left to shock the Blues and send them home when everyone though that would be headed to OT. I think the Avs have started to look shaky in their games lately and the Oilers have been really hot. I like the Oilers puckline in this game. T.M. Selection: 5-3 Oilers. | |||||||

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

T.M. Selection: Hurricanes/Rangers OVER. I am on the over in the Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers game on Saturday. Both the Hurricanes and the Rangers have looked a lot better in this series playing in their home games but I think this game is going to be a bit different. Every game in this series has gone under but I expect both teams to bring their best effort here and I see this being a much higher scoring game than the rest in this series. This is the 1st elimination game of the series and the Hurricanes haven't won a game on the road yet in this postseason at all but I expect them to turn it on here and activate that killer instinct knowing that they can move on with a win in this game. Their offense looked a lot better in the previous game and I think they can carry over some of that momentum here. The Rangers didn't look great in that previous game but they have looked really good in a majority of the games this series and I think they will come with their best effort here too since they have played some of their best hockey in their home games this year. They have been great defensively in their home games but their offense has been great, scoring 3+ goals in their home games this series and the rangers are already 3-0 this postseason in elimination games with all 3 of those games seeing 8+ goals in them. The Rangers are going to play hard and a bit desperate here being on the brink of elimination and I expect to see goals from them to help ensure a win with no sweat. I think both teams are going to be more offensive here trying to score goals with the importance of this game and I expect it to be high scoring. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Rangers. | |||||||
05-27-22 | Avalanche v. Blues +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues +1.5. I like the St Louis Blues puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. The Blues managed to stay alive in the previous game with a big win but they really showed their resilience in that game with a great effort. They were dominated for the 1st 2 periods of that game but they really stepped up in the 3rd and their playoff experience really showed as they managed to come back from down 3-1 with less than 5 minutes left, and then after giving up another late goal to go down 4-3 they scored again to send it to OT where they would ultimately win the game. The Avalanche looked really nervous near the end of that game as they were pressed back on their heels for a majority of the 3rd period and they lost the game on a weak and fluky shot in OT which really shows how they gave in to their nerves after the Blues turned it on. The Blues showed that killer instinct and I think they are going to play that way from the beginning of this game being a more friendly environment on home ice and I expect to see their best effort again being on the brink of elimination still. I think the Blues are a live dog in this game but even if they do lose the game, I expect it to be close or possibly even a loss in OT. The Blues are hot now with some momentum going into this game and they should play more comfortably on their home ice here. I expect them to be pressuring the Avs here the entire game like they were in the 3rd period of the previous game. I like the Blues puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Blues. | |||||||
05-26-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -151 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Thursday. The Hurricanes just lost 2 games in a row in New York and allowed the Rangers to even up the series at 2. The Hurricanes haven't looked great in their road games this postseason but they have looked really good in their home games, being a perfect 6-0 in their home games this postseason. They won the 1st 2 games of this series on home ice with a great defensive effort, keeping the Rangers at only 1 goal between the 2 games while scoring 2 goals themselves in each game. I think this is going to be another dominant performance by the Hurricanes on home ice here and I expect them to play their best here like they have on home ice all year and take a series lead here. The Rangers have only won 1 road game in this postseason and I think they are going to lose another game with their inability to score goals in their road games. They also looked really good on defense in the 1st 2 games but Igor hasn't been great in a lot of their road games this postseason and I think there is a good chance that he will crack here, letting in a few goals from the Hurricanes. I think the Rangers are going to have another road game where they struggle on offense here and if they don't get out to an early lead then I think the Hurricanes will be able to take the game over and dominate it with their offensive and defensive efforts. The Hurricanes have been perfect this postseason in their home games and I don't think that run is going to end tonight. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-25-22 | Blues +1.5 v. Avalanche | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues +1.5. I like the St Louis Blues puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Blues have lost 2 games in a row now and they are down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination here. I think they are going to be desperate in this game and I expect them to play their best game of the series here. They have already won a road game in this series though, it being their only win of the series, but I think they can keep this game close with a good effort. They didn't look terrible in their 2 most recent games, they still lost both games on home ice by 3 goals, but it was really just 1 period in each game that they let get away from them after having a strong start in the games. Ville Husso hasn't really looked great either since coming in for the injured Binnington but he did play a majority of their regular season games this year and I expect him to shake off his nerves and put up a better performance on home ice here. Both of the games in this series that were in Colorado were the 2 best games that the Blues played in this series. They got their 1 win 4-1 and then also lost the 1st game of this series in OT 3-2. I think this is going to be a close game just like those 2 and I expect the desperation to take over for the Blues here. They have the playoff experience on their team from when they won the Cup back in 2019 and I think they can at least put up a good fight here. I like the Blues puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Blues. | |||||||
05-24-22 | Hurricanes -103 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Hurricanes lost the previous game in this series in New York but they still have a 2-1 series lead and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. All of the games in this series have been very close and really could have gone either way but it has been the defensive efforts and the goalkeeping of both teams that is keeping both teams in these games. The Hurricanes still haven't won a road game in this postseason yet but I think they will get their 1st road win here to take a 3-1 series lead. I expect them to be motivated here since they just came off a 7 game series and will probably want to wrap this series up a lot quicker. They have been flawless on home ice in this postseason and if they win this game tonight, they have a chance to eliminate the Rangers on home ice in the next game which is an opportunity that I think the Hurricanes won't pass up on after going through a longer series. The Hurricanes dominated the Rangers during the regular season and I expect them to do the same in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-23-22 | Panthers +112 v. Lightning | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers. I like the Florida Panthers to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. The Panthers are down 3-0 in this series and they are going to be desperate in this game. They are facing elimination here and I expect them to come out and play their best hockey of the year here to win a game and sent the series back home with a chance to make it 3-2. The Lightning have been dominant in this series but there was 1 game that the Panthers almost won and could have changed the landscape of this series. The Lightning scored on them with 4 seconds left in game 2 which seemed to be heading for OT but that loss must have disheartened Florida a bit which showed in the last game. This is the last stand for the Panthers though and they do not win here then they are out. I expect them to wake up here and play a good game since they were the team with the most points during the regular season and they weren't dominated that much in their regular season games against the Lightning either. The series between them was pretty even with both teams getting blow out wins against each other and I see this game has the potential for the panthers to win it. They have it in them to beat this team and not only will they be desperate here, but they hate the Lightning due to their state rivalry with each other and it would be an absolute embarrassment for the Panthers who won the Presidents Trophy to get swept here. I think the Panthers will bounce back here and keep their postseason alive. I like the Panthers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Panthers. | |||||||
05-22-22 | Flames v. Oilers +105 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 105 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Sunday. The Oilers looked really good in their most recent game, stealing a road game in the series and now giving themselves the advantage as they go back to Edmonton for the next 2 games. The Oilers won the previous game 5-3 after trailing early in that game just like they were trailing early in the 1st game against the Flames. They fell behind by 4 goals in that 1st game but managed to come back and tie the game just to lose it in the end. They still put in a great effort in that game with 6 goals, they just needed a better effort from their goalkeeper. They got that better effort in the 2nd game though and scored 5 goals to win that game, again coming back from behind. The Oilers are at home now and I think they are going to be the team to try and jump ahead early in this game on their home ice. Markstrom hasn't looked good for the Flames in any of these games and he hasn't even faced a lot of shots either. The Stars didn't pepper him with a lot of shots in their 1st series either and he still had games where he gave up a lot of goals. He hasn't really been tested in the postseason until now and he looks like he is cracking under the pressure here. Mike Smith had a much better game, he did give up 2 quick goals in that 2nd game again, but once he got calmed down with his nerves he looked a lot better for the rest of the game. I think Markstrom is going to let the Flames down in this game, he just had 2 terrible games on home ice and now has to play in 2 road games with a much more hostile environment. The 1st line for the Oilers has woken up too and is starting to get really hot in these games with goals. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. | |||||||
05-21-22 | Avalanche v. Blues OVER 6.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Avalanche/Blues OVER. I am on the over in the Colorado Avalanche vs St Louis Blues game on Saturday. This series is tied up at 1-1 at the moment but both of these games have been on the lower scoring end so far. This has been the complete opposite from their regular season games with all of them being high scoring and going over the posted totals for those games. I think this is going to be a high scoring affair though and I expect both teams to find the net here, turning this into a higher scoring game. The Avalanche just lost their 1st game of the postseason this year and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back after that loss on home ice. The Blues are still missing some of their top defensemen for this game and I think that will start to play a part here in this game. The Avalanche will be looking to score goals quickly so they don't fall behind like in the previous game and I think they will find holes in the Blues defense here. The Avalanche are also missing a defensemen though and their starting goalkeeper, Darcy Kuemper, is dealing with his eye injury so he may not be playing at his best in this series. I expect both teams to be more aggressive here since this is an important game to take a 2-1 lead in the series and I see this being a close game that both teams fight hard to win in. I see there being goals in this game so I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Avalanche. | |||||||
05-20-22 | Oilers +157 v. Flames | 5-3 | Win | 157 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Friday. The Oilers lost the 1st game of this series in a really high scoring affair, losing that game 9-6. The Oilers didn't really get a good start in that game, more specifically their goalkeeper Mike Smith who was pulled in the 1st period after giving up 3 quick goals on his 1st 10 shots faced. Koskinen wasn't great either since he still gave up double the goals but it was a really bad night for all goalkeepers in that game since even Markstrom gave up 6 goals himself and he didn't face a ton of shots from the Oilers either. I still think the Oilers looked good on offense in that game though. They were down 5-1 in that game and they managed to come back and tie the game 6-6. They still gave up 3 goals after that but I expect Mike Smith to have a better game here and not get pulled this time around. The Oilers showed that they can compete with the Flames and score enough goals to keep up with them. I think they just need a better performance from their goalie here and the Oilers can steal a road game here. These cities are really close to each other so the rivalry here is a big one and I think the Oilers aren't going to let this series get to 2-0 for their 2 home games. I expect the Oilers to be better defensively and I expect Mike Smith to have a better game too. I think the Oilers have the offensive power to outscore the Flames here and I expect them to take a game back to tie this series up. I like the Oilers to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Oilers. | |||||||
05-19-22 | Blues v. Avalanche -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche -1.5. I like the Colorado Avalanche puckline in this game against the St Louis Blues on Thursday. The Avalanche looked really good in that 1st game of this series. They needed OT to win that game but they really dominated the Blues for a majority of that game and they peppered the net with 50+ shots too. The Blues may have tied it up late to send it to OT but the Avalanche spent a majority of that game in the Blues' zone and they deserved to win that game in the end. I think this game is going to be much easier for the Avs now that they have had a feel for the Blues in this series and I expect them to come out even stronger on offense in this game to bury the Blues here. The Blues are still missing 2 of their top defensemen here and I think that is going to play a factor here with the Avalanche being so good on home ice lately. The Blues looked good in their previous series but now they are playing the leaders of the West and they swept the Predators in the 1st round for good reason. The Avalanche were hot going into the playoffs and they have continued that with a 5-0 record in this postseason already. The Blues also struggled against the Avs all year, losing a majority of their games against each other and I think this game is going to be similar. The Avalanche were scoring a ton of goals in the 1st round and I expect them to get back to that here with a dominant performance on their home ice here. I like the Avalanche puckline here to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. | |||||||
05-18-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -159 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers on Wednesday. The Hurricanes looked good in their previous series against the Bruins, they didn't win any of their road games in that series but they did win all of their home games in a dominant fashion. I think the Hurricanes are going to dominate another game on their home ice here and I expect the Rangers to struggle against them here. The Rangers didn't play great in their road games against the Penguins in their previous series. They ended up stealing a road game back in game 6 after dropping a home game early in the series but their 1st 2 road games in that series were pathetic and they gave up 7 goals in both games, Shesterkin getting pulled in both games. Shesterkin was a great goalie this year, 1 of the best in the league, but he has already shown that he can fall apart here in the playoffs, specifically in road games, and I think there is a good possibility it happens here too. The Hurricanes were a much better team all year, finishing in 1st place in their division, but they played their best games on home ice and they showed that in their previous series when they blew out the Bruins in most of those home games. The Hurricanes also won a majority of their games against the Rangers this year during the regular season, and I don't see that script being any different here in this series. The Hurricanes can score a lot of goals on home ice and if the Rangers give up some early goals here doing down early in the game like they have been doing lately, I don't think they will be able to come back. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-17-22 | Blues v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -127 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blues/Avalanche OVER. I am on the over in the St Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche game on Tuesday. The Blues looked really good in the final 3 games of their series against the Wild. They have won 3 games in a row now to end that series and they scored 5 goals in all of those games. The Blues have always played the Avalanche tough and all of their games against each other this year saw 7+ goals in them total, with the Blues scoring 3+ goals in all of those. The Avalanche are very hot at the moment, sweeping the Predators in the 1st round with 3/4 of those games seeing 7+ goals in them. The Avalanche even scored 7+ goals themselves in 2 of those and had 5+ goals in 3 of them. This series won't be as easy as the previous for them, the Blues were very hot near the end of the regular season and they have done this before over the past few years where they really get hot in the postseason. I think the Blues are going to score goals on the Avalanche here and keep this a close game with a chance to win it for themselves. The Blues are also missing a lot of their starting defensemen though and that is going to become an issue in this series. The Avalanche have a really good offense and they would've scored goals with the Blues healthy. Now that the Blues are weaker on defense I think it will be even easier for the Avalanche to score goals on them here and I see them getting a few on home ice. I think the Blues are going to be playing from behind in this game too and I expect them to pour on their offense to stay in the game. I see this game having lots of goals here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Avalanche. | |||||||
05-14-22 | Lightning v. Maple Leafs -120 | 2-1 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. The Leafs have looked great in this series and even though they are going to game 7 here, it feels like this series should already be over. They looked really good in their most recent game, losing 4-3 in OT in Tampa but they clearly looked like the better team in that game and there were some bad calls by the refs which didn't help them at all. I still think the Leafs are the better team though and they have shown to be 1 of the strongest in the East at the moment. I think they will close out this series on home ice here and finally break their playoff curse over the years. The Leafs have been scoring a lot in this series, scoring 3+ goals in every game of the series which is something that the Lightning haven't even done, scoring 2 goals in 1 of the games and even getting shut out in the 1st game of this series. The Leafs have even shown their resiliency in some of these games since they have erased multi-goal deficits multiple times so if they get behind in this game they will come back. I think they are going to take an early lead here though and I expect them to score so many goals that the Lightning just won't be able to come back in this game. I think the Leafs are the stronger team and I expect them to be motivated here to end their curse and kick out the 2 time defending Stanley Cup champions. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Leafs. | |||||||
05-14-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their home games this series, with the home team winning every game of this series. I think that is going to continue in this game with a Hurricanes win here to eliminate the Bruins from the playoffs. Both of these teams have looked good at times in their games but it has become very clear that these 2 teams are struggling to win in road games and I expect the Hurricanes to be the more dominant team here. The Hurricanes have scored 5 goals in every home game of this series and they only gave up 2 goals in 1 of those games, giving up 1 goal in each of the other 2 games. The Bruins have not only had trouble winning their road games in this series, but they have been struggling to even score goals and I think those struggles are going to be their downfall here. The Hurricanes were a better team in their home games than their road games all year and they have been showing that in this series with their 3 big wins in their home games. This game is going to be dominated by the Hurricanes on home ice and I expect them to close out the series with no issues. I like the Hurricanes to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-13-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Friday. The Penguins lead this series 3-2 with a chance to close it out on home ice here and I think they are going to get the job done here. Unlike the rangers, the Penguins have been in this situation many times over the years and they have the veteran experience on their team over the rangers will help them to end the Rangers in this game. The Rangers won the most recent game in the series 5-3 on their home ice but that was a game that they trailed 2-0 in early and then had to make a comeback just to get the win and keep their playoff dream alive. The Penguins dominated the Rangers in their 2 games played in Pittsburgh and those games weren't even close at all. The Penguins scored 7 goals on the Rangers in both home games and Igor Shesterkin had to be pulled in both games. He looked better in their most recent game but that was on home ice and even then he still looked shaky with some of the goals he let in. Shesterkin looked rattled in their 2 games in Pittsburgh and there is a good chance that he will unravel again here due to the lack of playoff experience and lack of confidence in himself. If the Rangers can't rely on their goaltending here then they will have a mountain to climb in this game and even in their previous 2 games in Pittsburgh, they got the jump on the Rangers early and scored really quickly to take a big lead. I think this is going to be the end of the line here for the rangers. I like the Penguins to win this game and the series. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Penguins. | |||||||
05-12-22 | Oilers -135 v. Kings | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the LA Kings on Thursday. The Oilers have looked really good in this series and I think they are going to bounce back with a win in this game to even up the series 3-3. They are down 3-2 in the series going into LA and I think they will turn on the jets here to with their backs against the wall in this series. The Oilers have looked like the better team in almost every game of this series too. Their 2 wins came in blowout fashion with a 6-0 win and an 8-2 win over the Kings. The Kings only had 1 game in this series where they dominated with a 4-0 win while their other 2 wins were both really close games that the Kings won in OT. Those games could have gone very differently and even if 1 of them was a win for the Oilers, they would have the Kings backed up on their heels here. I still think the Oilers are the better team here and I see them forcing a game 7 here with a win. The Kings struggled to beat the Oilers all year, going 1-3 against the Oilers during the regular season and the game they won was at the beginning of the year. I think the Oilers have way more talent on their team and they have already shown that they can destroy the Kings with their 2 wins coming by those big margins. The Kings have jumped on the Oilers early in the previous 2 games which set them back from the start in those games but I think with the Oilers facing elimination here, they will come out fast and strong trying to get an early goal and once they get a lead in the game, I expect them to keep it. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Oilers. | |||||||
05-11-22 | Capitals v. Panthers -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers -1.5. I like the Florida Panthers puckline in this game against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. The Panthers evened up the series in their most recent game getting their home advantage back in this series and now have a chance to take the series lead on home ice in this game. The Panthers have already shown glimpses of that killer team they were all regular season in the 2nd game of this series when they evened it up 1-1 with a big bounce back win 5-1 on home ice. They stepped up then to even it up 1-1 and then stumbled in Washington but stepped up again in their previous game to even it up once more at 2-2 and I think they will step up again here coming back home for a chance to take the lead. Their goaltending has been hit or miss in this series but it was a lot better in that previous game and their defensive effort overall was great since the Capitals didn't really get a lot of shots on net in that game. It took a big effort from the Panthers to tie the game with the pulled goalie and then force an OT where they won the game. I think they will have all the momentum on their side here coming home and I expect the home crowd to energize them here. They have put the pressure back on the Capitals to steal another road game and I think that they will play more like they did in the 2nd game of this series, winning it with a big home effort. The Panthers showed us all year that they have the offense to compete with anyone in the league and after their previous game, they have shown a great defensive ability too. I expect this to be a big game for the Panthers to step up in and I see them answering the call tonight. I like the Panthers puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Panthers. | |||||||
05-10-22 | Kings v. Oilers OVER 6.5 | 5-4 | Win | 103 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Oilers OVER. I am on the over in the LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers game on Tuesday. This series has seen some really high scoring affairs lately with 3/4 of their games so far seeing 6+ goals in them but 3 of their games have also been very one sided. Only the 1st game was a close affair with the Kings taking that game 4-3, while the other 3 games were 6-0, 8-2, and 4-0 wins. I think this game will be another high scoring affair like the others in this series but after 3 one sided games like that, I expect this game to be a lot like the 1st with a much closer score as the 2 teams are settled in now at 2-2 in the series. This game is huge for both teams as the winner will have the other on the brink of elimination going back to LA and neither team want to be in that position whether it be a home or road game for them. I think both teams are going to go hard in this game and I see it having multiple lead changes as both teams fight to take this all important game. Both of these teams have been scoring a ton of goals in this series and I don't see that changing here. The Oilers will be upset off a shut out loss in LA and will try to strike early in this game with lots of goals being on home ice here. The Kings will also be trying to avoid the elimination situation here and will come out hard in this game to try and take the series back home with a lead and a chance to kick the Oilers out on home ice. I think both teams will bring their best game here. I see another high scoring affair here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. | |||||||
05-09-22 | Flames -155 v. Stars | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Monday. The Flames are down 2-1 in the series now but it has taken them some time to get into rhythm in the playoffs here. They won the 1st game 1-0 in a very defensive effort by both teams and they played the same way in the 2nd game too but that came back to bite them, losing 2-0 on home ice. Now the home advantage has flipped to the Stars with them taking the 3rd game in a 4-2 win but I think the Flames still looked really good in that game and they dominated it for the 1st 2 periods with their offense finally waking up. They had a bad 3rd period and ended up losing the game but I think they will bounce back here and win this game knowing they need to even up the series before going back home. They only put 2 goals in the net in that game but it was the most goals they have scored in a game of this series so far and I think they will finally break out here with a great offensive effort. They have been getting plenty of shots and scoring chances in their 1st 3 games, they just haven't been converting them into goals but I think that will change here and I expect the Flames to really clamp down knowing they can't go home down 3-1 in the series. The Stars play very defensively in their games but once the Flames start to open up their scoring more, I think it will be hard for Dallas to keep up with them. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Flames. | |||||||

The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately but they finally lost their 1st game of this series in Boston in the 3rd game, still keeping their 2-1 lead over them. The Hurricanes still looked good in that game and managed to keep it close near the end, even opening up the scoring in that game too. The Bruins were bound to get a win at home since they are not a bad team but I still think the Hurricanes are the better team here and after playing their 1st game of the series in Boston now, I expect them to make the proper adjustments and bounce back in this game with a win to take a 3-1 series lead. The Hurricanes completely dominated the Bruins in their 2 home games, winning 5-1 and 5-2 in those games. The Hurricanes also dominated the Bruins during the regular season with a 3-0 record against them and 2 of those wins were in Boston too. Not only did they win all of their games against them, but they won 3-0 on home ice, and they won 6-0 and 7-1 in their 2 road games in Boston. The Bruins have struggled with the Hurricanes all year and now that they have gotten their win on home ice in the series, I expect to see the Hurricanes close them out. The Hurricanes are a faster team and they can be just as physical as the Bruins when they want to be. I expect a more physical effort from them here and I think they will get the job done so they can close out the series in their next game on home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-07-22 | Rangers v. Penguins +110 | 4-7 | Win | 110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Penguins are back on home ice for the next 2 games and right now they have home advantage in the series after stealing game 1 in New York from the Rangers. They have still looked good in both games though, despite losing in their most recent game 5-2, they still played the Rangers very tough and they were in that game until midway through the 3rd period where it started to fall apart for them. I think the Penguins are going to look a lot better on their home ice here and they have a lot more playoff experience on their team than the Rangers do. They already stole a road game in this series and I think they will take advantage of this opportunity to get a grip on the series and take the lead here. Domingue will be their starting goalie in this series until further notice and he looked good in those other 2 games. He still played well for 2 periods but had a bad 3rd period which I think he will recover from here and play a lot better with the home crowd on his side. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Penguins. | |||||||
05-06-22 | Wild v. Blues -109 | 5-1 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The Blues looked great in the 1st game of this series winning that game 4-0 but they got trashed 6-2 in the 2nd game and didn't look that great as the Wild responded well to their previous loss. The Blues are on home ice now though and they already did their job in Minnesota since they needed to win at least 1 road game to take the series and now they have that under their belt. They had 1 bad game in their most recent game but they have still been 1 of the hottest teams in the league over the last month of the regular season and I think they will bounce back on home ice here. The Blues also have more experience in the postseason and I think that will come into to play in this series too. The Blues have been scoring a lot of goals in their games lately too and they already pulled off a shut out in Minnesota in the 1st game. I think the Blues will play a lot better on their home ice here and I expect them to take advantage of thse two home games winning them both. The series in their hands now since the Wild need to steal a road game back from them now but I think the Blues will be a lot better on the defensive end in this game and I think their offense will find ways to score on the Wild here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blues. | |||||||
05-05-22 | Penguins v. Rangers -152 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday and even up this series at 1-1. The Rangers lost the 1st game of this series in a long and hard fought battle, losing 4-3 in that game but it took 3 OTs to get that result. I think the Rangers looked really good at the beginning of that game but they started to lose control as the game went on the disallowed goal late in the 3rd period was also a real big momentum killer for them. I think they are going to bounce back in this game though and I expect them to head to Pittsburgh with a series tied at 1-1. The Penguins already had their backup goalie starting in that game with Jarry out and DeSmith even picked up an injury himself in the 2nd OT. The Penguins already announced that their 3rd string goalie, Louis Domingue, will be starting in this game and I think he is going to get beat up on here. He only made 17 saves after coming in the game in the 2nd OT and the Rangers never really challenged him with difficult shots. I think it is going to be a lot different for them in this game though starting from the beginning and the Rangers will have a lot more energy this time compared to facing him in the 2nd and 3rd OTs when they have already played for over 80 minutes at that point. I expect the Rangers to get the jump on him right away in this game and I think they are going to pepper the net with shots here, breaking through Domingue a few times. I don't see the Penguins taking a 2-0 lead here going back home for the next 2 games. I like the Rangers to win this game and even up the series. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Rangers. | |||||||
05-04-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes in this game against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. The Hurricanes took the 1st game of this series on home ice and I think they are going to make it a 2 game sweep on home ice here in these 1st 2 games of the series. The 1st game in this series wasn't even close with the Hurricanes defeating the Bruins 5-1 and I think this game is going to be very similar. The Hurricanes were on a roll to end the regular season and they came into this 1st series of the postseason very hot with 6 wins in a row and a majority of those wins by 2+ goals. They continued that run in game 1 and I think they are going to continue it again. The Hurricanes have looked great on home ice all year and they really dominated the Bruins without having to take many shots. The Bruins out shot the Hurricanes by 10+ shots yet Raanta was incredible all night, stopping 35/36 shots in that game. Ullmark had a really bad night giving up 4 goals and he only faced 24 shots, stopping 20 of those. The Hurricanes goalkeeping was a big concern coming into the postseason with their starting goalie, Frederik Andersen, out with injury but Raanta has been great all year and if this series comes down to goalkeeping, the Hurricanes are going to win that battle. The Hurricanes looked they came to play with a purpose and I expect them to just keep gaining momentum the deeper they go. I think they are going to dominate the Bruins here again and beat up on them physically on the ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-03-22 | Predators +1.5 v. Avalanche | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators +1.5. I like the Nashville Predators puckline in this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. The Predators haven't looked great in their games lately, they lost 4/5 of their final 5 games of the regular season but the 1 win that they got during that time was against the Avalanche. The Predators have also beaten the Avalanche in 2/3 meetings with them this year and I think they can keep this game close enough where if they lose, it will only be by 1 goal. They have even been playing in a lot of close games lately and even though they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games, all 3 of their losses were by 1 goal. The Avalanche haven't looked great in their games lately either and I think they are going to take some time to get going in this series. They have lost 6/7 of their final 7 games to end the regular season a majority of their losses in their final 5 games were by 3+ goals. The Avalanche also just got some very important players back in their lineup and I think it will take some time for the lines to gel again, making it easier on the Predators to defend the Avalanche here. The Predators have also had no issues with scoring goals and they even came back down 2 goals in their game against the Avalanche, forcing it to a shootout where they won it. I think there is a good chance that this game could see OT and I think it is going to be very close. I like the Predators puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Avalanche. | |||||||
05-03-22 | Capitals v. Panthers OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Capitals/Panthers OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Capitals vs Florida Panthers game on Tuesday. The Capitals haven't been involved in too many high scoring affairs lately since a majority of their games lately have seen around 5 goals in them. I don't think that's going to be the case here though with the Capitals playing in a road game against the Panthers who scored the most goals in the NHL during the regular season. The Capitals are getting back their star player here though, Ovechkin, and that should help their offense in this game since they will need to score a ton of goals to keep up with Florida here. The Panthers have seen 3/4 of their previous 4 games with 6+ goals in it total and that was right at the end of the regular season when the Panthers were starting to rest some of their better players. The Panthers have been a high scoring team all year and I don't think that is going to change now that the playoffs have started. They haven't looked great on the defensive end since they are usually giving up 2 or 3 goals in their games but they could probably score 6 goals themselves in this game since that has been something that they've been doing all year and I see this game going over the posted total because of that. The Panthers have never really been a good team for years but now they are not only in the postseason, but they finished as the best team in the league. I think the Panthers are going to give a hard effort here and start their postseason off with a huge win. I expect them to score a lot of goals here but also get some help from the Capitals since they aren't going to get shut out here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Panthers. | |||||||
05-02-22 | Blues +115 v. Wild | 4-0 | Win | 115 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Monday. The Blues have looked really good in their games lately and they were getting really hot near the end of the regular season. The Blues ended their year with 2 losses in a row but they really didn't need to win those games and they were resting some of their better players for this series. Before losing those 2 games, they had won 3 games in a row and they had won 12/13 of their previous 13 games, going on a huge run where they were destroying teams by 3+ goals a lot of the time and scoring a ton of goals too. They haven't been struggling in their road games either since they have won 7/8 of their previous 8 road games and they ended the regular season as 1 of the hottest teams in the league. The Wild have also looked really good in their games lately, winning 7/8 of their previous 8 games and they have looked even better on home ice this year. They have struggled against the Blues this year though, and they lost all 3 games to the Blues this year, including 2 road games and 1 home game. I think the Blues are the better team here and they have been really hot in their games lately. I expect them to score a lot of goals here and make it very difficult on the Wild to win here on home ice. I think the Blues have the better defense and I also think their offense is stronger since they have been scoring a lot more goals than the Wild have been over the past few weeks. I expect the Blues to jump out to an early lead here and steal this game away from the Wild. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blues. | |||||||
05-02-22 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -110 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Monday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and they ended the regular season off on a hot streak, winning 6 games in a row now going into this series. They have looked great on home ice in their games lately too and I think they are going to put up a great performance here in game 1. The Bruins have looked good in their games lately too but they have been winning a lot of their games on home ice and they haven't been great in their road games this year. They were definitely a better team on home ice all year and I think the Hurricanes are going to bully them on their home ice. The Bruins have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 road games and the 2 games they lost were both against teams that made it to the postseason this year while their win was against 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Canadiens. Over the previous month, the Bruins have played in 6 road games against teams that made the postseason this year and of those games the Bruins only won 2 of them. I think the Bruins are going to continue their struggles against playoff quality teams and I expect the Hurricanes to take game 1 of this series on their home ice. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
05-01-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Jets OVER 6.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Jets OVER. I am on the over in the Seattle Kraken vs Winnipeg Jets game on Sunday. The Kraken have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs in their games lately but their most recent game was only a 3-0 win on their home ice. They have looked a lot better on their home ice this year and I think with them being in a road game here, their defense isn't going to be as good. It is also the last game of the regular season for both of these teams and neither will be moving onto the postseason after this. This really is a pointless game and is only being played to finish out the season since the game was a few weeks ago but postponed due to weather. I think both teams are going to play a looser style here and I expect to see goals from both teams. This is also an afternoon game which isn't really the normal time for these teams to be playing considering this would actually be a morning game of it were in Seattle so I think we are going to get sloppy play from both sides and I think both defenses will be really loose. The Jets have been scoring a ton of goals in their games lately too and I think they will have no issues scoring on the Kraken here. I don't think the Kraken are going to just die here though and I think both will be trying to end their year off with a win. I expect to see a lot of goals in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Jets. | |||||||
04-29-22 | Canucks +160 v. Oilers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. The Canucks have already been eliminated from playoff contention this year and this game doesn't really mean anything to them but they have still looked really good in their games lately and I think they will end their year off really hot since they have been playing some of their best hockey all year over the last few weeks. They have won 2 games in a row now with 1 of those being a slaughter of the Kraken and the other was in a game against the Kings last night where they came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in OT 3-2 and they really dominated in the 2nd and 3rd periods of that game. They have a lot to build on for next year after putting together a great campaign after firing their coach in December but I think they will want to end their season off strong with a win here. The Oilers have already clinched their spot and home advantage on the postseason so this is a nothing game for them and I expect them to rest most of their players here since they played them all in their game against the Sharks last night. The Oilers beat the Sharks on home ice 5-4 in OT but they were trailing for that entire game and only tied it up near the end when the Sharks got into some penalty trouble. I don't think the Oilers are going to care as much in this last game of the regular season and the Canucks are a much hotter team than the Sharks are. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Canucks. | |||||||
04-28-22 | Capitals v. Islanders +125 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 125 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Thursday. The Islanders haven't looked great lately but they just ended a 5 game losing skid with a win over the Capitals in their most recent game and I think they can get another win against them on home ice here. The Islanders won that game in Washington 4-1 and I think they can repeat that here on home ice with the current state of the Capitals. They have been sustaining a lot of injuries lately and the most notable injury would be to their star player Ovechkin. He will be out and getting ready to make a comeback for the playoffs but I also think that the Capitals might rest some other key players here with their trip to the postseason already being confirmed. They can still have an affect on who they play with a win or loss in this game but I think making it to the postseason as healthy as possible is the main priority right now and I think that leaves the door open for a much stronger effort from the Islanders in this game. The Islanders have been long eliminated from playoff contention so they really have nothing to play for here but after going on a long losing skid and with the season they have had this year, between all of the covid adversity and the long road trips because of their new building, it would be nice for them to end the year with a few wins. The head coach of the Islanders, Barry Trotz, also used to coach the Capitals including the year they won the cup and I doubt this is a game he will take lightly no matter what it means to either team. I'm expecting a stronger effort from the Islanders in this game and I think they can beat up on the banged up Capitals again in this game. I like the Islanders to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders. | |||||||
04-27-22 | Flyers +1.5 v. Jets | 0-4 | Loss | -146 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers +1.5. I like the Philadelphia Flyers puckline in this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. The Flyers were starting to gain some momentum in their games lately with 2 wins in a row but that was stunted in their most recent game when they lost to the Blackhawks 3-1 on Monday. I still think the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and I like them to win this game over the Jets who haven't looked that great lately. The Jets just beat the Avalanche in their most recent game but the Avs collapsed late in that game and that was on the end of a losing streak for them where they weren't playing well at all. The Jets had lost 4 games in a row before winning that game over the Avs and every loss during that time was by 2+ goals. They have been giving up a lot of goals in their games lately and their defensive effort has been shaky at best. The Flyers have been scoring a lot lately and have looked a lot better in their games, I think they will put some pucks in the net here and put the Jets in a hole that their offense can't climb out of. They have also blown a few leads on their 4 game losing skid so if they go up in this game I don't think they will be able to hang on. I like the way that the Flyers have looked lately and I think they have been a lot better than the Jets in their games lately. I like the Flyers puckline here since I think they can win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Flyers. | |||||||
04-26-22 | Golden Knights -105 v. Stars | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The Golden Knights haven't looked great in their games lately winning just 1/4 of their previous 4 games but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be motivated after suffering a bad loss on home ice to the Sharks in a shootout considering those 2 teams have a lot of history already for the short amount the Knights have been in the league. I expect the Golden Knights to be angry over that loss and I expect to see them take out their anger on the Stars here who haven't looked great in their games lately either. The Stars just won their most recent game but it was on home ice to 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Kraken, and they lost 3 games in a row before winning that game. All of their losses during that time were by 2+ goals and came against teams that haven't been eliminated from contention yet. Right now there is a 4 team race in the West for the 2 Wild Card spots and both of these teams are part of that race. The Stars have a 3 point lead over Vegas and the Golden Knights are also the last team in that playoff hunt with the least amount of points of the 4 teams. A loss here could pretty much end their season and I don't think that is going to happen to them just yet. I expect the Golden Knights to get a bounce back win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Golden Knights. | |||||||
04-25-22 | Flyers +125 v. Blackhawks | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. The Flyers have had a terrible year and really have nothing left to play for along with their opposing team here, the Blackhawks, but the Flyers have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been playing quite well during this time. They have won 2 games in a row and I think they can keep up their streak here, adding another game to it. Both of their wins were very dominant with a win over the Canadiens in Montreal who have been bad lately but that is still a tough building to play in, and the other win was on home ice but against a playoff team in the Penguins who they destroyed 4-1 and never even gave the Penguins a chance in that game from the beginning. Their defense has been a lot better and they haven't had any issues scoring goals lately either. The Blackhawks haven't looked good at all in their games lately and they have lost 2 games in a row now but also only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. Their 2 most recent losses were not great either since they lost both games by 3 goals and were dominated the entire time, even losing to a team like the Sharks who have struggled to win games all year. I think the Flyers are getting hot now and they have looked a lot better than the Blackhawks have lately. The Blackhawks have been giving up tons of goals in their games too and they have only been able to score 2 goals in their last 2 games. I think the Flyers are playing way better at the moment and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flyers. | |||||||
04-23-22 | Canadiens +137 v. Senators | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The Canadiens have lost 7 games in a row now and they were just embarrassed in 4 home games in a row too. They tried to keep up with the Flyers in their most recent game but they still lost that game 6-3 and the anger has to be boiling for this Canadiens team. They have had a terrible year and are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, just a year after going to the Stanley Cup finals and losing there. I still think they have a lot of pride playing for Montreal though and I expect them to break out of this funk before the end of the year. I think this is a good spot for them to bounce back in and I like them to get a win over the Senators who haven't looked great this year either. The Senators are on a bit of a roll now winning 2 games in a row but they had to win both games in a shootout and I think the Canadiens will play them tough here with the cities being so close to each other. Carey Price had a bad game against the Flyers but I think he can bounce back in this game and play a lot better since he hasn't been awful since making his return. I think he can keep the Canadiens in this game and the Senators haven't really been able to win games lately unless they go to shootout. I like the Canadiens to bounce back and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Canadiens. | |||||||
04-23-22 | Predators v. Lightning -158 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Lightning have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they did slip up against the Red Wings during that time but their other 3 wins were very impressive and they have been scoring a lot of goals in those games too. They just slaughtered the Leafs on home ice 8-1 and they had a 7-4 win over the Jets in their game before the loss to the Red Wings. They are on home ice again here and the Predators haven't looked that great lately either, especially in their road games. The Predators have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games, both wins by just 1 goal, and they have played 5 games in a row on home ice. They lost the most recent road game they played in and they haven't looked great in road games lately, losing 4/5 of their previous 5 road games. Their most recent loss was at home to the Blues and they lost that game 8-3 after taking a 1-0 lead in the 1st period. The Lightning are coming off of some similar games where they destroyed the opposing team and I think they are going to do the same to the Predators on their home ice here since the Lightning have been getting really hot lately. The Lightning have already clinched a playoff spot this year but they are still fighting with the Bruins for 3rd place since 1 of those teams will have to land in the Wild Card. The Lightning have a 3 point lead over the Bruins and I think they are going to be motivated to keep their lead here. I like the Lightning to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Lightning. | |||||||
04-22-22 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Wild | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Kraken +1.5. I like the Seattle Kraken puckline in this game against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. The Kraken have looked really good in their games lately and they have won 3 games in a row now. They won a close game against the Devils but they looked a lot better in their 2 most recent games, winning 1 game by 2 goals over the Senators and the other game by 1 goal over the Avalanche. The Avalanche have been really hot lately and the Kraken were able to shut them down as they are still in the hunt for 3 more points to break their franchise record of points in a single season. The Kraken were in control of that entire game too since they jumped out to an early 3-1 lead and held it for the game. The Kraken are playing in a road game here but the Wild are on a B2B game after playing against the Canucks the previous night. The Canucks have also been very hot lately and that was a tough game for the Wild to win which probably took a lot out of them. They won the game 5-3 but they were trailing 3-2 late in the 2nd period before tying it up and then didn't get the winning goal until there was less than 7 minutes left in the game. I think the Kraken are going to put up a really good fight here since they have looked good lately and have been gaining a lot of momentum in with their wins. They don't have much to play for here but I think they will try to finish their year off with some wins so they have something positive to go off of for next year. I also expect the Wild to be tired from the night before and they have already clinched a divisional spot, knowing who they are going to be playing in the playoffs too. I like the Kraken puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Kraken. | |||||||
04-21-22 | Flyers v. Canadiens -135 | 6-3 | Loss | -135 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. The Canadiens haven't looked good in their games lately and they have lost 6 games in a row now. I think they are due for a bounce back win here and I think they have their best chance of winning a game here on home ice. Carey Price is back for the Canadiens and he has actually looked good in his games so far. He has only given up 2 goals in both of his 2 most recent starts but his team couldn't back him up with any goals in those games. They just lost 2-0 on home ice to the Wild but Price still looked great in that game and shut down a very good team like the Wild in that game. I think the Canadiens have an easier game ahead of them here since the Flyers have been terrible this year and I think this is a great spot for the Canadiens to break out of their funk and get a win here. The Flyers haven't been any better lately and they have also lost 6 games in a row now. A majority of their losses during that time have been by 2+ goals too. Neither of these teams have anything left to play for this year and at this point it is just the pride of winning another game that should be coming out in this game. I think the Canadiens are going to step up on home ice here to break out of their losing skid. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. | |||||||
04-20-22 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes +145 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Coyotes. I like the Arizona Coyotes to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Coyotes haven't looked good in their games lately losing 7 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. The last team they won a game against was actually against the Blackhawks 8 games ago and they won that in a road game in OT. I think they can do the same here and break out of their funk once again with another win against the Blackhawks who haven't been great this year anyway. The Coyotes have been losing a lot but I think they have their best chance on home ice here and they have already beaten this team on their home ice in their most recent win so I like their chances of winning this game on home ice. They actually looked decent in their game against the Hurricanes, losing that game 5-3 on home ice but the game was also a lot closer for the entire time than the final score suggests. The Blackhawks are in their own funk lately losing 2 games in a row but they also have won 1/11 of their previous 11 games. I think this is a good spot for the Coyotes to get a win here on home ice. I like the Coyotes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Coyotes. | |||||||
04-16-22 | Maple Leafs v. Senators OVER 6.5 | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Maple Leafs/Senators OVER. I am on the over in the Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators game on Saturday. The Maple Leafs have been really hot lately and they have looked really good on the offensive end in these games. They have been involved in a lot of high scoring games like their 2 most recent games and 9/10 of their previous 10 games have seen 7+ goals too. They just scored 7 goals themselves on the Capitals in their most recent game and I think they will have another high scoring game against their Ontario rival here. Their goaltending hasn't been the sharpest though, giving up 3+ goals in 4/5 of their previous 5 games but their offense has been getting them out of trouble and this is a game that the Senators always come to play really hard. Auston Matthews is also on pace to break records this year for the league and the franchise so they have plenty of motivation to keep winning games and scoring tons of goals in the process. The Senators have had a really bad year and are 1 of the worst teams in the East this year but they have looked a lot better lately with 2 wins in a row and they always stay competitive in these games with the Leafs. They have scored 3+ goals in their 3 most recent games too and I think they will find the net here with no issues since they have looked a lot better and the Leafs goaltending isn't great either. The Senators have struggled with their goaltending all year though and I expect the Leafs to score almost 6 goals themselves in this game. I'm expecting a ton of goals in this game, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Maple Leafs. | |||||||
04-15-22 | Islanders -140 v. Canadiens | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. The Islanders just lost their most recent game to the Penguins 6-3 and that came right after a win on home ice against the Penguins a few nights before. The Penguins really dominated the Islanders in that game and I think the Islanders are due for a bounce back in this game. They have looked good over the past 2 weeks and I think they have looked a lot better than the Canadiens have lately. The Canadiens have lost 3 games in a row now with their 2 most recent losses coming by 2+ goals. They only scored 3 goals in those 2 games and gave up 9 total to 2 teams that will not even be in the playoffs this year. The Islanders don't have a great chance of making it to the playoffs either but they have been getting hot lately. The Canadiens looked terrible in their loss to the Blue Jackets getting destroyed 5-1 and even in their game before that, they lost on home ice 4-2 to the Jets and trailed in that game for most of the time. The Canadiens are probably going to finish as the worst team in the East this year and the rest of the season is a total write off for them. I like how the Islanders have been playing lately and I want to ride them in this game while they are still hot and while the Canadiens are still slumping. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders. | |||||||
04-14-22 | Golden Knights v. Flames -153 | 6-1 | Loss | -153 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Flames have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will extend their run here with another win on home ice. They have won 5 games in a row now and have looked great in all of those games, with the 4 most recent games all being won by 2+ goals. The Flames have been putting a lot of pucks in the net lately too, scoring 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They are on home ice here and I think they are going to continue scoring tons of goals in their games while they are really hot at the moment. The Flames lead the Pacific Division in points at the moment and are 1 of the best teams in the West while the Knights sit in 4th place in their division, in the hunt for a playoff spot still. They haven't looked great in their games lately though and I think the Flames are going to skate circles around them in this game. Vegas has lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and both losses were to the Canucks who they have seen 3 times in their previous 4 games now. They have had a very weak schedule over the past few weeks and I think that is going to come back to bite them in this game. The Flames are 1 of the best teams in the West and have been winning a lot of games lately against good opposing teams. The Golden Knights have been winning games lately but they have been playing teams like the Coyotes, Canucks, Kraken, and Blackhawks in their previous 7 games without seeing another opposing team during that time. All of those teams except for the Canucks are out of playoff contention already and the Canucks were the team they lost to twice during that time. They are going to be no match in this road game against the Flames on home ice. I like the Flames to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flames. | |||||||
04-13-22 | Canadiens +155 v. Blue Jackets | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Wednesday. The Canadiens have lost 2 games in a row now and they haven't looked great in a lot of their games lately but I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They just lost 2 big games in a row that they are going to be looking to get back here, 1 was a road loss against the Leafs and the other was a home loss to the Jets 4-2 in a game they trailed for a good majority. I think the Canadiens are going to have a bit of pride here and play a good game. The Blue Jackets haven't looked great themselves anyway and they have been struggling all year just like the Canadiens. The Blue Jackets have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but those have also been their only 2 wins in their previous 10 games. They have also looked terrible in their home games lately with both of those wins coming in road games and they have actually lost 3 home games in a row now. Even their last win wasn't that great since they had to go to OT to win it against the Red Wings who have also struggled this year, and they blew a 4-2 lead in the last 10 mins of that game to send it to OT when they should've just won it regulation. I think the Canadiens can take advantage of another struggling team here and I like them to win this game and bounce back from their previous 2 losses. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. | |||||||
04-12-22 | Hurricanes -119 v. Rangers | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the New York Rangers in this game on Tuesday. The Hurricanes have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on a roll here and win over the Rangers. They just won their most recent game bouncing back from a bad loss at home by 1 goal in their game before. They have still won 2/3 of their previous 3 games though and they have won both of those games by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in their division at the moment but they are trying to fend off the Rangers here who can tie them in points with a win. I think the Hurricanes are going to step up their game here to make sure that doesn't happen. The Hurricanes have scored a lot of goals in their 3 most recent games but they haven't been giving up many goals either and I think that is going to be key here. The Rangers have had issues with scoring goals at full strength and I think the Hurricanes will be disciplined here to not give the Rangers any chances to catch their breath. The Rangers have also looked good lately winning 3 games in a row but 2 of those wins were against teams who have already been eliminated from the playoffs and I think they are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here. The Hurricanes have been getting hot in the scoring department and I think their ability to score goals at even strength is what is going to set them apart in this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
04-11-22 | Jets v. Canadiens +125 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. The Canadiens have been one of the worst teams in the league all year and they are in last place in the East at the moment but they haven't looked terrible in their games lately. They have won 2/4 of their previous 4 games and 1 was a nice OT win over the Lightning in a road game while the other was another road win 7-4 over the Devils. They did have 1 bad loss in there to the Senators but their most recent loss was actually a close game with their rival team, the Leafs, and they only lost that game by 1 goal and had a chance to win it for most of the game. I think the Canadiens are going to be looking for another win here and they really have nothing left to play for but pride and that is a big thing when you play for the Canadiens. They also have some rest for this game and I think that is going to play a factor here too. The Jets are playing on a B2B here after winning a road game in Ottawa by 1 goal. The Jets haven't been great lately though and that win actually broke them out of a funk where they had lost 4 games in a row. The Jets still have a slight chance to make the playoffs in a Wild Card spot but it is looking really bleak for them and the Canadiens have a chance to add another dagger to their year here. I think the Jets are going to struggle in this road game on the B2B with how bad they have looked lately and I like the Canadiens to bounce back after a tough loss to the Leafs. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Canadiens. |
