04-10-22 | Stars v. Blackhawks +140 | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great lately with 6 losses in a row but they haven't really been getting blown out in a lot of those losses either. They lost 3 of those games by just 1 goal and I think they can bounce back here on home ice and break out of their funk a bit with a win. They were shut out on home ice in their most recent game and they were shut out by the Kraken who are 2nd to last in the West. That is a really embarrassing loss for them on home ice and I think their pride will come out in this game leading them to score more goals. I expect a much harder effort from them in this game after a game where they were shut out and especially after the team they were shut out by. The Stars haven't looked great lately either and I think the Blackhawks are catching them in a good spot here. The Stars have lost 2 games in a row and are on a B2B here in a road game right after losing on home ice to the Devils the day before. They have had some bad losses lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games and 2 of those losses coming against some of the worst teams in the league. I think the Stars have fallen into a bit of a funk at the moment and I see them continuing to struggle in this game with an angry Blackhawks team coming at them here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blackhawks. | |||||||
04-08-22 | Wild v. Blues -101 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues to win this game against the Minnesota Wild in this game on Friday. The Blues have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row now and they have only lost 1 time in their previous 6 games. They have looked really good too with all 3 of their wins in a row coming by 2+ goals and I think they can carry over their momentum here and get another win over the Wild who have been very good this year. The Blues have been putting pucks in the net though and they have scored 9 goals in their 2 most recent games alone. They have also had some great goaltending in those games since they only gave up 1 goal in each. The Wild were on a huge run just over a week ago but once it was snapped they have struggled to get back on that pace. They just won 2 games in a row but their most recent game was a 6-2 loss to the Predators and the Wild didn't look good in that game at all. That is their 2nd loss in their previous 2 games and they are starting to look a bit shaky with their play. I think they are going to struggle again here in this road game and the Blues have also been really good on home ice lately too. I think the Blues have been hotter lately and I see them getting the win on their home ice here where they have looked great in their most recent games lately. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Blues. | |||||||
04-06-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Blues -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 115 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St Louis Blues. I like the St Louis Blues on the puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Blues have looked a lot better in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here and have another big game over the Kraken here. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now with both wins being by 2+ goals but they have also won 4/5 of their previous 5 games with a majority of those wins being by 2+ goals too. The Blues have also been great on home ice this year and I think they are going to smack a team like the Kraken here who have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and have been terrible in road games altogether. The Blues just routed a team of the Kraken's stature with a 5-1 win on home ice over the Coyotes and I think this is just a taste of what's to come from this team as they get ready for the playoffs. Now is the time to get hot before rolling into their 1st playoff series and I think they will take advantage of another easier game here since their schedules picks up a bit and gets tougher after this game. The Kraken just beat the Stars in their most recent game 4-1 but that game was on their home ice where they are much better, they have still been terrible lately despite that win though. They have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and the 2 losses were both on home ice too, getting shut out in 1 game and losing 5-2 in the other. The Kraken have been terrible lately and their season is pretty much over already but the Blues still have plenty to play for and I expect them to start getting really hot since now. I like the Blues to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Blues. | |||||||
04-05-22 | Bruins v. Red Wings +1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Red Wings +1.5. I like the Detroit Red Wings on the puckline against the Boston Bruins in this game on Tuesday. The Red Wings haven't looked good in their games lately losing 6 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I think they are catching the Bruins at a good time. The Bruins have won 3 games in a row now and they have been blowing out their opposing teams in these games and scoring a ton of goals in the process. They didn't look good in their most recent game though, winning that game in OT over the Blue Jackets who have had their fair share of struggles lately. The Bruins were fine against the Jackets in their home game right before but they really struggled in that road game and that has been a common them for them lately in their road games. Their 2 most recent road games were both wins but both came after regulation. Most of their road games lately have actually been either losses or close wins that come after regulation and they have only won 1 road game by 2+ goals in their previous 6. This is a B2B for them too and I think they will be a bit tired which gives the rested Red Wings a better chance here to keep this game close. The Bruins already looked shaky in their most recent game and they have had a problem with playing in road games lately. I think this is the perfect spot for the Red Wings to at least put up a good fight and keep this a 1 goal game on home ice here. I like the Red Wings +1.5 here. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Red Wings. | |||||||
04-04-22 | Flames v. Kings +161 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Monday. The Kings have started to look a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now, including a 3-2 win in Calgary in a shootout the other night. Now the Kings are going to be on home ice here and I think they can continue on their streak here, adding another win over the Flames. The Kings have put together a great year so far and they are in 2nd place of their division at the moment, just 3 points behind the Flames in 1st. The Flames were very hot about a week ago, putting together a very nice run but they have slipped into a bit of a slump now and I think the Kings can take advantage of them here. The Flames have lost 3 games in a row now and all 3 of those losses were on home ice too. They haven't been able to score many goals in their previous 3 games and it wasn't until their most recent game where they finally scored 4 goals, but it didn't matter in the end since they gave up 6 goals anyway. The Kings haven't given up more than 2 goals in their previous 2 games and I think with the Flames already struggling to score goals lately, they are going to have a very difficult time scoring on the Kings here. They also played their previous 2 games in road games and I think the Kings will play even better defense here now that they are back on home ice. I expect them to keep the Flames out of their net here and come out with the win. The Flames have already slipped into a mini slump and I think they are going to continue on that losing skid. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Kings. | |||||||
04-03-22 | Wild v. Capitals -120 | 5-1 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. The Capitals just lost their most recent game on home ice and it was a bad game losing 6-1 to the Hurricanes. That game was last Monday though and they have had a week to sit on that loss and rest up for this game. I think the rest can only benefit a team like Washington, especially with older players such as Ovechkin, and I expect them to come out angry in this game looking to bounce back with a win. They should have some fire in them for this game after sitting a loss that bad for a week and the loss came on home ice too, which makes it even more important that they get that win back on home ice here. The Capitals haven't been terrible lately though, they actually won 2 games in a row before that loss in their most recent game and they were scoring goals too, scoring 4 goals in both of those games. The Wild are in a tough spot here and I think this is a bit of a let down game for them for their schedule lately. The Wild had 7 wins in a row before Pittsburgh ended that the other night but the Wild bounced back with a win in Carolina 3-1 on Saturday but now have to play on a B2B in Washington here. I think that win over the Hurricanes took a lot of energy out of them, to beat a good team like that in a road game and with the great defensive effort that they put into that game to keep the Hurricanes high flying offense to 1 goal. I think the Wild are going to be a bit tired here and with all of that travel, the Capitals have a huge advantage since they have been sitting at home for a week waiting for the Wild to come in to town. I think the Capitals will bounce back here after that bad loss. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Capitals. | |||||||
04-02-22 | Penguins v. Avalanche -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche. I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The Avalanche have won 2 games in a row now but they have also looked really good in their games lately, stretching back over their previous 9. They have been racking up a lot of wins during this time and they have been winning a lot of those games by 2+ goals too. Their only loss over their previous 4 games was against the Wild in OT, losing that game 3-2 but the Wild have the 2nd most points in the West this year behind the Avalanche. The Avalanche just won their most recent game on home ice 4-2 over the Sharks but they beat the Flames in a road game right before beating the Sharks and the Flames are 1st place in their division in the West. The Avalanche are the best team in the league at the moment with the most points and they are also the only team with 100+ points this year. I think they are going to have no issues taking down the Penguins on home ice here and I expect them to win by a few goals since they have been really hot lately. The Penguins haven't looked great in their games lately, they did win their most recent game over the Wild who are really good this year, but they have only won 2/5 of their previous 5 games and their other win was an 11-2 destruction of 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, the Red Wings. The Penguins have 2 losses to the Rangers and 1 loss to the Sabres during that time and this has been an issue for the penguins lately, being unable to win many games against some of the better teams in the league. Even in their most recent game where they won over the Wild, they won 4-3 in OT and they even had a 3-1 lead in that game which they blew. This has been a common theme for the Penguins lately since they have struggled against the better teams in the league and I think they are going to have a tough time here in a road game against the best team in the league. The Avalanche have shown time and time again that they can compete with the best in the league and have been racking up many wins over good teams lately. I like the Avalanche to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche. | |||||||
04-01-22 | Blues v. Oilers -145 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday. The Oilers have looked a lot better lately and they have won 2 games in a row now after getting beaten down 9-5 by the Flames last weekend. Despite that loss, they have still won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they have scored 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They just beat the Kings in a shootout in their most recent game but they are on home ice again here and the Blues haven't been great lately. I think the Oilers are going to be motivated to keep on their run here and win another game making it 3 in a row. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now but both of those wins were against the same team, the Canucks, and the Canucks aren't really 1 of the top teams this season, they aren't even on course to make the playoffs this year. The Blues actually lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games before those 2 wins and I think they are going to revert back to that play here against a much better team. Both of these teams are still fighting to keep their playoff spots but I think the Blues have been looking shaky lately while the Oilers have been trying to get hot with a lot more wins lately. I see there being a lot of goals here but I think the Oilers offense has been rolling lately and I expect them to stay hot while the Blues have shown to have scoring troubles in some of their games lately. I like the Oilers to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. | |||||||
03-30-22 | Blues v. Canucks -103 | 4-3 | Loss | -103 | 17 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The Canucks haven't looked great lately but they haven't looked terrible in their games either and I think they are going to come for their revenge in this game. They have lost a majority of their previous 5 games but they still have 2 wins during that time and they haven't been losing badly in their games either since 2 of their losses went to OT. Their defense has been pretty good in their games, they have slipped a bit in their losses but they have only allowed 1 goal in each of their previous 2 wins. They just lost their most recent game to the Blues too, losing that game 4-1 but I think the Canucks have looked better lately and will find a way to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was in a road game but this game is back on their home ice so i expect them to play a better game and keep the Blues out of their net more here. The Blues haven't looked great in their games lately either, they just beat the Canucks in their most recent game but before winning that game they were on a run where they won 1/6 of their previous 6 games before that win against the Canucks. The Blues have been getting decimated too since their 2 most recent losses both came on home ice by 3+ goals. I think the Blues got their win the other night and are going to go back to how they have been playing in their games lately while the Canucks have been much better in their games lately and I expect them to bounce back here and get that win against the Blues back. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
03-29-22 | Islanders -130 v. Blue Jackets | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Islanders have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have looked good in a lot of their games lately but they didn't look good at all in their most recent game, losing to the Lightning on home ice 4-1. I expect the Islanders to play better on the defensive end in this game with it being a road game and I think they will have an easier time keeping pucks out of their net against the Blue Jackets here. The Jackets haven't looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing badly here. They have lost 3 games in a row and only have 1 win in their previous 5 games. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately or with their goaltending since they have given up 3+ goals in 5 games in a row, and most of those games they actually gave up 4+ goals. I think the Islanders won't have any issues scoring goals on the Jackets here with how bad they have been lately. The Jackets almost won in Minnesota against the Wild in their most recent game, they had a 2-1 lead for most of the game but they blew their lead late, giving up the tying goal, and they managed to find a way to lose the game in OT. The Jackets have had a very bad season this year and I think their troubles are going to continue in this game. I can't trust a team that just collapsed with a late lead in the most important time of the game. I like the Islanders to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. | |||||||
03-28-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Kings UNDER 6 | 6-1 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kraken/Kings UNDER. I am on the under in the Seattle Kraken vs LA Kings game on Monday. The Kraken haven't had more than 6 goals scored in a game in their previous 4 games and their offense was shut down against the Kings in their most recent game on Saturday. They are playing the Kings in LA again here and I think this is going to be a much lower scoring game. They only scored 2 goals on the Kings on Saturday and they gave up 4 goals in that game. The Kings have looked shaky in some of their games lately but they have also had their moments where their defense has looked great. Saturday was 1 of those nights and I think they can keep the Kraken from scoring many goals in this game too. The Kraken will have to revise their strategy here since LA was able to shut down their scoring and they aren't a great team in road games either so I expect them to play better on the defensive end here and give a better effort in this game. The Kings have had their bad spots lately but they have also had 3/5 of their previous 5 games where they didn't give up more than 2 goals. I think the Kings are going to continue playing well on the defensive end here with the Kraken's struggle in road games this year and I expect the Kraken to tighten up on the defensive end and try to keep the Kings off the board. I see this being a lower scoring game than their previous meeting on Saturday so I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Kings. | |||||||
03-27-22 | Panthers v. Maple Leafs -110 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Leafs haven't looked good in their games lately with 2/3 losses in their previous 3 games and they just lost their most recent game to their rival team, the Canadiens, and that is a loss that has to sting to them since they are not only rivals but Montreal is also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. They took a 1-0 lead in that game and then played from behind the rest of the way but I think they are due for a bounce back win here after that bad loss. The Panthers have won 3 games in a row now but they haven't even looked that great in their games. They escaped Montreal with a tight 4-3 win and then they went to Ottawa in their most recent game and won again 4-3 but in a shootout this time. The Panthers were trailing for that entire game, they went down 2-0 very early in the game and fought back but again went down 3-2 and the game stayed like that until very late. The Panthers had to pull their goalie and tie the game like that in the final minutes just to force OT and even in the OT they had to play shorthanded because of their issues with discipline in that game. They ended up winning that game in a shootout with 1 goal after the Senators missed all 3 of their shots but that game was too close and too many miracles had to happen in that game for them to win it. They haven't looked good lately and after that performance in Ottawa, I think the Leafs will get the win here. The Leafs are going to be angry from their loss to the Canadiens and they will be looking to take out that anger on the Panthers here on home ice. I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Leafs. | |||||||
03-26-22 | Blue Jackets +220 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Blue Jackets have lost 2 games in a row now but their most recent game was a very close loss in OT in a road game against the Jets and I think the Jackets can bounce back here after that game. They were down early in that game but they kept fight back and managed to force OT where they lost but I still think they looked good in that game and I expect them to carry that play over into this game here to try and get a win. This is the last game of a road trip and after losing their other 2 games in a row now, I expect the Jackets to play at their best here and try to get a win so they don't go home empty handed with no points. The Wild have won 4 games in a row now and they have looked really good in a lot of those games but they looked more shaky in their most recent game and I think it's time for them to drop a game here. Their goaltending has been great and they haven't given up many goals in their games lately but the Canucks forced OT in their most recent game and the Wild had a late lead in that game too but slipped up on defense and gave up the tying goal. I think their little run here is coming to an end and I think the Jackets will have the motivation to hand them a loss here. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. | |||||||
03-24-22 | Lightning +105 v. Bruins | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The Lightning haven't looked good in their games lately with 2 losses in a row now but I think they can bounce back with a win here. Their 2 most recent games were both losses by 1 goal but they also played some of the hottest teams in the league at the moment with a 2-1 loss to the Rangers and a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes. They just started a road trip with that game against the Hurricanes and are already off to a bad start, I expect them to play a lot better here and try to bounce back from that loss. The Bruins have looked really good lately winning 2 games in a row now but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They haven't looked great in those games though, they have been winning a lot of games but all of those wins during that time except for 1 were only by 1 goal. Their most recent game was even a win over the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the East, and they had to go to OT to get that win. I think the Bruins have been losing momentum with their wins lately and most of those wins lately have also come against some of the worst teams in the league. They got 4 of their wins over the Coyotes, Canadiens, and 2 against the Blackhawks during that run. The teams they have faced have not been strong at all and they aren't even winning their games by impressive margins but are instead just sneaking out of the games with 1 goal wins. I think the Bruins are going to have a very tough challenge on their hands here with 1 of the best teams in the league and they are going to be getting them after a few losses so they will be even more dangerous looking for a win to break out of their funk. I like the Lightning to end their losing skid as of late and win this game over the Bruins. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Lightning. | |||||||
03-23-22 | Blackhawks +120 v. Ducks | 4-2 | Win | 120 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks. I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great in their games lately but I think they can get a bounce back win here. They have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't been getting destroyed in these games and they have even been keeping some of them within 1 goal. They have looked a lot better on home ice and they have even won 2/3 of their previous 3 home games. They just lost a game at home to the Jets but the Jets have been hot lately and the Blackhawks still scored 4 goals in that game. I think they will continue their scoring run here and put a few pucks in the net here. The Ducks haven't looked great lately either and they have been even worse than the Blackhawks have been. The Ducks have lost 7 games in a row and their 2 most recent games have been really bad. They lost both games on home ice by 3 goals and they didn't even score a goal in 1 of those games too. I don't see them playing any better here when the Blackhawks have been staying competitive in their games still while the Ducks have been getting destroyed out there. I think the Ducks are going to continue their slump with another loss here and the Blackhawks should have no issues in this game scoring with how bad the Ducks have looked on defense lately. I expect the Blackhawks to score a bunch on the Ducks here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Blackhawks. | |||||||
03-22-22 | Blues v. Capitals -135 | 5-2 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the St Louis Blues on Tuesday. The Capitals have looked really good lately and I think they are going to continue on their hot run here. They just lost in their most recent game by 1 goal to the Stars and that loss ended a 4 game run of wins that they were on. They had been grinding out some OT wins during that time and they finally ended up losing a game but I think they can bounce back here and win over the Blues on their home ice. The Capitals have looked really good in home games this year and they had won 3 games in a row on their home ice before taking that loss in their most recent game. Scoring hasn't been an issue for them either and that loss was also the 1st game that they didn't score 4+ in their previous 5 games. The Blues have not looked good lately and they have been on a huge losing skid. They have lost 3 games in a row now but they also have losses in 7/9 of their previous 9 games. The Blues have given up a lot of goals in their previous 3 losses too and I think that is going to hurt them in this game. The Capitals have been scoring goals in their games with no issues and if the Blues defense continues to play the way they have lately, then the Blues won't be able to slow down the offense of the Capitals here. Ovechkin has been breaking records this year and he has his sights set on goals much higher than what he has already accomplished. I think he is going to lead his team to another win here and his team will continue to surge, taking advantage of a slumping Blues team. I like the Capitals to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals. | |||||||
03-21-22 | Predators v. Ducks +145 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks. I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Monday. The Ducks haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will get a win here and break out of their funk. They have lost 6 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have been coming close in their previous 4 games, losing 3 of them by 1 goal with 1 going to OT and the other ending in a shootout. They were shut out in their most recent game, losing 3-0 to the Panthers, but the Panthers are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They also played the Rangers right before that who are also a very good team this year so I think the Ducks have had a rough time lately due to their schedule but I expect them to get a win here against the Predators who aren't as good as the other teams they have seen lately. They also lost to the Predators 4-1 on March 10th and that was 1 of the 1st games in their losing skid so I think they are going to remember that road loss and return the favor here now that they are back on their home ice. The Predators have also looked good lately with wins in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They have taken down some good teams during that time though and they have been scoring a ton of goals in the process. They have scored 4+ goals in 6 games in a row but scoring that many goals for that many games is only sustainable for so long. I think they will be tired in this game and I expect their scoring to dry up a bit here. I think the Ducks will be able to keep the Predators out of their net in this game and I expect them to get their revenge for that loss less than 2 weeks ago. I like the Ducks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Ducks. | |||||||
03-20-22 | Islanders -140 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. The Islanders have looked really good in their games lately and I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and get another win with how good they have been looking lately. They have won 2 games in a row but they also have wins in 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have looked great on defense in those games and they have given up more than 2 goals in a game in 2/6 of those games. They have only given up 3 goals in their 2 most recent games and they have scored double that during that time. They just won their most recent game over the Stars 4-2 on Saturday and they are on a B2B here but I think that could help them stay warmed up and come out better in this game. The Flyers have been terrible all year and they haven't looked any better as of late. They have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they have lost some bad games to some bad teams during that time. Their 2 most recent losses were to the Canadiens and the Senators and those are both some of the worst teams in the league this year. The Flyers haven't played since Friday either and with this being an afternoon start for them, they could come out slow and sluggish in this game and I think the Islander would take advantage of that situation and jump out to an early lead. The big problem for the Islanders all year was their defense but now it is looking a lot better and I think the Flyers will have issues trying to score on them. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Islanders. | |||||||
03-18-22 | Capitals v. Hurricanes -150 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -150 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Washington Capitals on Friday. The Hurricanes were looking great with 4 wins in a row but they have stumbled a bit in their games lately and have lost 2 in a row now. Both of their losses came in road games, 4-2 to the Penguins and 3-2 to the Leafs, but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. This game is a B2B for them but I think that can help them out here coming off that loss and I expect them to step up their game and play better on home ice this time. They have still scored 2 goals in both games so scoring hasn't been an issue for them and I think they will score even more goals being on home ice for this game. The Capitals have won 3 games in a row and they have looked good in those games but I also think they have been slipping a bit lately. They have been playing in really close games lately with 3/4 of their previous 4 games going into OT, including 2/3 of their previous 3 wins. They have also won 3/4 of their previous 4 games by just 1 goal. Their most recent game was a win over the Blue Jackets but the Capitals are also on a B2B here and I think they might be a bit tired after scoring 7 goals in their previous game. The Hurricanes have better goaltending than the Blue Jackets do and their defense is also a lot better, the Capitals won't score that many on them here and they will actually struggle to score on them at all in this game. I think the Hurricanes have been way better over the course of the year and I expect them to get another win on home ice here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
03-17-22 | Penguins v. Blues +100 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: St. Louis Blues. I like the St. Louis Blues to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The Blues have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They just broke out of a funk they were in with 2 wins in a row but they lost their most recent game in a close game to the Jets, losing in OT 4-3. I think the Blues are going to bounce back on their home ice here and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too which I think will help them get the win here. The Penguins have been very up and down in their games lately, winning 2 in a row then losing 2 in a row and so on over their past few games. They just lost their most recent game after winning 2 games in a row and they struggled to pucks in the net in that game. They looked good when they were at home but they only scored 1 goal in their most recent game, the 1st game of a road trip for them too. They have had some issues scoring in road games lately too, only scoring 3 goals in their 2 most recent road games. The Blues have been hot lately and scoring is one thing that they are doing great at the moment. I think they will be eager to bounce back here on home ice after a close loss in OT that was also on home ice, and I expect the Penguins' scoring issues in road games to creep up once again here. I like the Blues to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Blues. | |||||||
03-16-22 | Lightning -1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5. I like the Tampa Bay Lightning puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Lightning have not looked good in their games lately losing 3 games in a row but they just won their most recent game 2-1 over the Canucks and I think they can get back on a run here now that they have broken out of their funk. The Lightning are still 3rd place in the East and continue to be 1 of the best teams in the league. Their team is filled with skilled players and I think it is only a matter of time until they start winning games in bunches again. The Kraken have been terrible all year too and this is the perfect team for the Lightning to feed on and build up some more momentum as they try to put together a run again. The Kraken have been the worst team in the West all year and they are still holding up their last place spot. They just won their most recent game over the Canadiens but they had to go to a shootout just to win the game and they even had a 3-1 lead going into the 3rd period where they gave up 2 goals and let the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the league and the only team that hasn't reached 40 points yet, back in the game. The Kraken had actually lost 4 games in a row right before that win and they had only won 1/12 games before their win in Montreal. I think the Lightning are going to get back on track here with a win and I expect them to blow the Kraken out too. I like the Lightning on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Lightning. | |||||||
03-15-22 | Ducks v. Rangers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5. I like the New York Rangers puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Tuesday. The Rangers haven't looked their best lately with B2B losses by 3+ goals but they just bounced back in their most recent game with a road win over the Stars 7-4 and that is huge for them since the Stars are good at home and they should have a bit of momentum for this game now. The Rangers have been having a great year and have been 1 of the best teams in the league all year. They just went through their own 2 game mini slump but good teams like this don't go into long slumps in the NHL so now that they have another win under their belt, I expect them to start going on another run again and start racking up some more points. They are getting some low hanging fruit here since the Ducks have been terrible lately and I think the Rangers can just blow by them here. The Ducks have lost 4 games in a row now, their 2 most recent games were a lot closer but their 2 losses before that were both bad, losing by 3+ goals in both games and they gave up 12 goals between those 2 games. They have only given up 6 goals between their 2 most recent games but that is still not good against a team like the Rangers who can score a lot of goals in their games and will make the Ducks pay for any dumb mistakes they make on defense. This is a common theme for them since the Ducks have been giving up a lot of goals this year and that is due in part to not having a good goaltender. I think the Rangers are going to clean up on their home ice here and I expect them to win this game by 2+ goals. I like the Rangers on the puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers. | |||||||
03-14-22 | Coyotes v. Senators OVER 6 | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coyotes/Senators OVER. I am on the over in the Arizona Coyotes vs Ottawa Senators game on Monday. The Senators haven't looked bad in their games lately with wins in 2/3 of their previous 3 games but they have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games too. Their 2 most recent games have both seen 7+ goals in them, and the Senators have scored 3+ goals themselves in all of their 3 most recent games. They just gave up 6 goals to the Blackhawks on their home ice and the Blackhawks have really had their own struggles this year. They even gave up 3 goals before that to the Kraken on home ice and the Kraken are one of the worst teams in the league. I think the Senators are going to continue to score a lot of goals in this game since they have been lately and the Coyotes are also 1 of the worst teams in the league with a very bad defense. The Senators actually played the Coyotes in Arizona a week ago and they got dismantled on defense as they lost that game 8-5. I think this is a bit of a revenge spot for them being back on home ice and I expect them to score a lot of goals here to try and get them back for their previous meeting. The Coyotes have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too. They just had a game where there was 5 goals in it but before that they had played 3 games in a row with 9+ goals in them. They scored 5+ goals in all of those games and they have given up 3+ goals in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. Both of these teams have been scoring goals like no tomorrow lately but neither has a good enough defense to keep the other off the board so I see this being a high scoring game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Senators. | |||||||
03-13-22 | Hurricanes +110 v. Penguins | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The Hurricanes have looked really good lately and have been starting to roll over teams again winning 4 games in a row now. Their 4 game run here started with a 3-2 win in OT against the Penguins over a week ago but they have been getting a lot hotter as they play their games and their 2 most recent wins were both by 2+ goals. Their goaltending has been outstanding lately too since they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 previous games. The Hurricanes already beat the Penguins at home over a week ago and I think they can do it again in this road game. The Penguins haven't looked that great in their games lately, they have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games. They just won their most recent game against the Knights but just before that they have losses to the Hurricanes and the Panthers, both 2 of the best teams in the league. The Hurricanes are the best in the East at the moment with the most points and I think the Penguins are going to struggle here like they have against some of the better teams in the league. The Hurricanes have already won 4 games in a row and they are a very tough team to stop once they get hot and rolling in their games. I think the Hurricanes are going to continue to roll in this game and beat the Penguins here. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
03-12-22 | Kings -130 v. Sharks | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings. I like the LA Kings to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Kings have looked really good in their games lately, they are the 4th best team in the West at the moment and the Sharks have not had a good year at all. The Kings had won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that loss came on home ice to the Sharks here. That game was 2 days ago on Thursday and the Kings lost on home ice in OT 4-3 too, so that loss is still freshly imprinted in their minds. I think the Kings are going to be looking for their revenge here and I expect them to get it and bounce back in this game since they are the better team. These teams are rivals and it would make no sense at all if the Sharks were to win B2B against the Kings with the year they have been having. The Kings aren't on their home ice in this game but they are revenging the loss from their home ice and what sweeter way to get revenge than to win in a road game in front of all the Sharks fans. The Sharks have looked terrible in their games lately anyway. The Sharks had lost 3 games in a row before winning against the Kings in their most recent game and they even had to drag them into OT just to get the win. The Kings actually had a lead for most of that game too and they let it go in the 3rd but I think they will make sure not to let that happen again here so I see them playing better on defense in this game. I think this is a huge revenge spot for the Kings and I expect them to bounce back with a win here. I like the Kings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings. | |||||||
03-11-22 | Jets v. Islanders -125 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. The Islanders are back on their home ice again for another game on Friday night and this is right after picking up a 6-0 win on home ice the night before over the Blue Jackets. The Islanders looked great in that game and I think they can carry over that momentum on this B2B and play another great game here. That is their 2nd win in their previous 3 games and they have been scoring a ton of goals in their games too. They have scored 10 goals in their 2 most recent games alone and I think it is going to be very tough for the Jets to stop this red hot offense at the moment. They have won 2/3 of their previous 3 games but even in the game they lost 5-4, they were tied 1-1 up until the 3rd and then they still made a comeback after going down 5-1 in the 1st 10 mins of that 3rd period. I think they have looked great lately and this is not a team to jump in front of and get run over by at the moment. The Jets have won 2 games in a row now but they are a better team on their home ice and they just won a very shaky game in their most recent game. They just scraped by the Devils in their most recent game winning 2-1 in a road game and they even held onto that lead for half of the game. The Jets have not been scoring a lot lately and they will have an even tougher time scoring on the Islanders who have finally found their defense lately. The Islanders have also been scoring a ton and the Jets will not be able to hold them off with how the Islanders have looked lately. The Islanders are going to continue their run here and win this game on home ice. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Islanders. | |||||||
03-10-22 | Avalanche v. Hurricanes +103 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 103 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue surging in this game too. They have won 7/9 of their previous 9 games and they have been finding ways to grind out all the close games too. A lot of their wins have been closer games, including their 2 most recent games where they won both by a score of 3-2. They are on their home ice here though and they have looked even better in those games and have won 5 home games in a row now. I expect them to make it 6 in a row here, especially when the Avalanche haven't looked good on defense lately and have been collapsing in their games. The Avalanche have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games but they haven't looked good in any of these games. They have a loss to the Coyotes which is a very bad look for them and they even lost a close OT game on their home ice to the Flames. They bounced back with a 5-4 win over the Islanders in their next game but that game exposed a lot of their flaws on defense. That was a 1-1 game going into the 3rd period and then it was 5-1 before the halfway point of that period. The game ended 5-4 which means the Avalanche let the Islanders score 3 goals in the last 10 mins of that game to almost catch up and tie it. That was not the only game this has been a problem in though. Right after the game where they almost blew that 5-1 lead, they played their most recent game and they took an early 3-0 lead over the Devils in that game. Once again, the Avalanche blew that lead and ended up losing the game 5-3 this time. These previous games have exposed the holes in their defense and they are going to be in trouble if they don't fix this problem. The Hurricanes have a very good offense and they are going to score goals on their home ice in this game, especially with the way that defense has looked. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
03-09-22 | Canadiens v. Canucks -1.5 | 3-5 | Win | 125 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks -1.5. I like the Vancouver Canucks puckline in this game against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. The Canucks have looked really good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have 5/6 wins in their previous 6 games. They even won 4 of those games by 2+ goals and their defense has looked great in most of those games too. They have slipped up on defense in their 3 most recent games but they just returned from a road trip and I think they will give a much better effort on defense in this game now that they are back on home ice. The Canadiens have also looked good in their games lately winning 2 in a row but they have been very up and down still and I think the Canucks are the better team here. This is the last game of a road trip for the Canadiens and they might be looking toward the finish line here just waiting to get back home. I don't think the Canadiens will come out with a lot of energy here and I'm expecting a much better effort on both offense and defense from the Canucks in this game. They will look to tighten up their defense from those previous 3 games and I think they can keep the Canadiens out of the net in this game. The Canucks also have a very good goaltender and I think he will play a big role in their win here. The Canadiens have looked a lot better lately but they are still 1 of the worst teams in the league and they have some major issues at goalie. I think the Canucks can blow them out here. I like the Canucks on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Canucks. | |||||||
03-08-22 | Panthers v. Penguins -110 | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins. I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The Penguins have looked good in their games lately and I think they can get a win here on home ice. They just won 3 games in a row where they didn't give up more than 2 goals in any of their games but they just lost in their most recent game. That loss was against the Hurricanes at the end of a road trip for the Penguins and they lost the game in OT 3-2. That game was also on Friday so the Penguins have had a lot of time to rest for this game and I think after such a close loss in OT to a very good team, they will be looking to bounce back on home ice here with a win. They are catching the Panthers on a B2B here too and the panthers have won 3 games in a row but all of those wins were against some of the bad teams in the league. The Panthers have been cruising in their games too but I think they will be met with a lot more resistance in this game and the Penguins will put up a very good fight on home ice here. I expect the Panthers to be tired from all the travel along with their B2B here and I think they will come out sluggish in this game. I expect the Penguins to take advantage of the situation here and steal a win on home ice from the Panthers. I like the Penguins to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Penguins. | |||||||
03-07-22 | Kings v. Bruins -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins -1.5. I like the Boston Bruins on the puckline against the LA Kings in this game on Monday. The Bruins have looked good in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have scored 10 goals in those 2 games. They just completed a road trip where they won 5/6 games including a 7-0 win in LA where they absolutely destroyed the Kings. Now the Bruins are on home ice for this game and they are rolling very hot at the moment. I think they can carry over their momentum into this game and keep their run going with another win here over the Kings by 2+ goals. The Kings have looked better in their games lately with 2 wins in a row but they also lost 2 in a row right before those wins and they have been up and down as of late. They are on their own road trip at the moment and they have won 2/3 of their games so far with this game being the last on the trip. They just shut out the Sabres in their most recent game but that is not really an impressive win for them and they are on a B2B here too. I think they are going to be a bit tired from their B2B and I also think with this being the last game of their road trip they might be looking towards home and not give their best effort in this game just trying to finish out the road trip. The Bruins already destroyed the Kings a few days ago and I think they will do it again on home ice here since they are very hot at the moment. I like the Bruins puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Bruins. | |||||||
03-06-22 | Rangers v. Jets -110 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Jets have looked good in their games lately winning 2/3 of their previous 3 games. Both wins were by 2+ goals but they lost their most recent game on home ice to the Stars. The Stars beat them in OT 4-3 in that game but the Jets were trailing for most of the game despite fight so hard to come back and almost win. They still looked good in that game and I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game after a close loss like that on home ice. The Rangers have looked good in their games lately too winning 2 games in a row now but they have had their own issues in road games this year. They have been playing a lot of home games lately with only 4 road games over the last 6 weeks and I think this is a game they are going to struggle in. The Rangers have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 road games and all of those losses were either by 2+ goals or they were shut out in the game. The Rangers have had issues scoring goals in their road games and this has been a recurring theme for them all year. I think they won't put a lot of pucks in the net in this game and the Jets have been scoring a ton of goals lately. I expect the Jets to outscore the Rangers here on their home ice and take this win. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Jets. | |||||||
03-05-22 | Blackhawks v. Flyers -115 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday. The Flyers have been terrible lately, they are in a huge slump and they have not been able to break out of their funk. They have lost 2 games in a row now but they have actually lost 8/9 of their previous 9 games. They have been starting to play better though and I think that this will be the game where they break out of their funk and at least get another win. They have been keeping their games close lately, they do have 1 win in their previous 3 games and their most recent game played was a loss on home ice to the Wild but they came close only losing that game by 1 goal. They even had a lead going into the 3rd period but they let in 2 goals and blew their lead in those final 20 minutes. I think they will be upset over that game and I expect them to to tighten up on defense here to make sure that doesn't happen again. I think they will bounce back with a win here on home ice. The Blackhawks haven't been great this year either, they have been a bit better than the Flyers but not in their road games and they have been very up and down lately. They have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 4 games but they have also lost 4/6 of their previous 6. They were shut out on home ice by the Blues and they responded to that loss with a win in their most recent game over the Oilers but they won that game 4-3 in OT and I think they are going to fall flat on their face in this road game. This is a sandwich game for them since it is their only road game in between 2 home stretches and I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. I like the Flyers to bounce back with a win in this game and break out of their recent slump a bit. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Flyers. | |||||||
03-04-22 | Kings v. Blue Jackets +140 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Jackets just won their most recent game against the Devils but they had lost 2 games in a row before that. They have been a very different team on home ice though and they have picked up 3 wins in their previous 4 home games. They have been scoring more goals in their home games lately and I think that will be important for them to get the win in this game. Their previous 3 home wins they scored 4 goals in all of those games. They are running into the Kings at a good time too since they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are starting to enter a bit of a slump. They lost in a road game in their most recent game and they were even shut out in a bad 7-0 loss on home ice right before their most recent loss. The Kings have looked really good for a while but now they have been slipping up a bit and I think they have been performing better than they should be anyway. I expect the Kings to lose some more games now and drop down the standings more and I think the Blue Jackets can deliver another loss to them, extending their losing skid. I like the Blue Jackets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Blue Jackets. | |||||||
03-03-22 | Bruins -107 v. Golden Knights | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Bruins. I like the Boston Bruins to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Bruins have really been hitting their stride lately and have looked really good in their games. They had won 5 games in a row before losing their most recent game to the Ducks in a close game, losing 4-3. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game and they have looked great lately, even winning a lot of their games by 2+ goals. Vegas has not looked as good in their games lately, they just won their most recent game but had lost 2 in a row before that and they have been really up and down lately. They have only won 2/7 games of their previous 7 and they are really slumping at the moment. The Golden Knights have been losing a lot lately and they haven't even had a tough schedule either. They have played against the Coyotes and the Sharks in 3/4 of their previous 4 games and both of those teams have been very bad all year. The Golden Knights had the 1st place spot in their division for a while but they have been free falling and now occupy the 3rd place spot. The Bruins have been surging lately and they still have a lot of work to do since they play in a very competitive division where they are 6 points behind 3rd place. I think the Bruins are going to continue their hot streak lately and they will bounce back in this game. I like the Bruins to win here. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Bruins. | |||||||
03-02-22 | Kings v. Stars -135 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars. I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the LA Kings on Wednesday. The Stars were just in a bit of a rough patch lately but I think they have broken out of it with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games. They have won 2 games in a row on home ice now and I think they are going to carry over that momentum into this game. The Stars are trying to work their way into a playoff spot since they are in a very competitive division but I think they can start stringing some wins together here and put together a bit of a run themselves. The Kings have been having a great year since they are in 2nd place of their division but they haven't looked good lately and I think the Stars can take advantage of them in their current slump. The Kings won 5 games in a row but their schedule was on the weaker side during that time and it really showed in their most recent game when they were destroyed by the Bruins on their own home ice 7-0. I think they are running into a wall in this game with the Stars who have been really good on home ice and they can score a ton of goals in their games when needed. They just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think the Kings are going to be in trouble after that terrible performance by their goalie. That can't even be fully pinned on him though since their defense was also terrible and I think the Stars are going to find the back of the net quite easily here. I like the Stars to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars. | |||||||
03-01-22 | Flames v. Wild -105 | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Wild. I like the Minnesota Wild to win this game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. This is a big revenge game for the Wild here and I think they are going to answer the call with a better performance and win this game. They haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row but it was their most recent loss that was embarrassing and I think they will be looking to bounce back here from it. They lost in Calgary on Saturday 7-3 and they have been sitting on that loss for a few days now. It was the most recent game that they played too so I think it will still be fresh in their minds and I expect them to have it out for the Flames in this game. The Wild are on their home ice this time too and I expect them to play a lot better here after winning the 1st game of their road trip and them losing 3 in a row after that. The Flames have been very hot lately but I think they are starting to cool off and this is the perfect time for the Wild to pounce on them. The Flames just had their 10 game win streak ended by a 7-1 loss to the Canucks and that 7-3 win over the Wild in their most recent game was in response to that 7-1 loss. I think they've lost a lot of their momentum from that win streak though and I think they won't come out with the same energy and intensity in this game. That 7-1 loss to the Canucks was also their most recent road game. The Flames ended that 10 game win streak with 7 games in a row on home ice and 8/9 of their previous 9 games have also been on home ice for them, all 8 of those being wins while the 1 loss was the road game. I think they are going to be at a disadvantage here going on the road after so many home games in a row and they have already shown that to be true in their loss to the Canucks. I don't like this spot for the Flames and I think the Wild are going to come with extra motivation to win this game. I like the Wild to win here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Wild. | |||||||
02-28-22 | Canucks +105 v. Devils | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Canucks have won 3 games in a row and they have looked really good in those games. They have won all 3 games by 3+ goals but both their offense and defense has been great in all of those games. They haven't given up more than 2 goals in 3 games in a row but they have scored 5+ goals in all of those games. That run extends further back though, they have scored 4+ goals in 5 games in a row now and I think they will keep it up in this game. Their defense has been great lately but that was a problem that they really fixed after firing their coach midway through the season. They have looked a lot better since then though and now their offense is waking up too. The Devils have also been scoring a lot lately but their defense hasn't been as good as the Canucks defense has been and the Devils just lost their most recent game to the bad Blackhawks who have been terrible this year yet managed to put in 8 goals on the Devils. This has been a common theme for them lately since there are plenty of other games they have played as of late where they have given up a ton of goals in. I think the Canucks are hot and the Devils are not going to be able to stop them here with how good the Canucks have looked lately and how bad the Devils have. I think the Canucks are going to skate all over the Devils in this game and score a ton of goals on them while keeping the Devils out with that great defensive effort. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Canucks. | |||||||
02-27-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks -125 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Jose Sharks. I like the San Jose Sharks to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday. The Sharks haven't looked good at all in their games lately but I think they can get a win here over a team that is just as bad as they are this year. The Sharks have won 1 time in their previous 9 games but I think it is time for them to break out of that funk a bit and win this game. They have started to look better in their games lately. They lost a road game in a shootout to the Ducks and then won a game in a shootout on home ice over the Islanders right after that loss but now they have lost again in their most recent game. They lost 3-1 on home ice to the Bruins but the Kraken are nowhere near as good as the Bruins are and I think the Sharks can get a win over them on home ice here. The Kraken is the only team in the same division as the Sharks that is actually lower than the Sharks in the standings, and the Sharks have a 15 point lead over the Kraken. The Kraken have also looked terrible lately, losing 6 games in a row now and most of those losses were by 2+ goals. They just took the Bruins to OT in their most recent game where they lost 3-2 on home ice but the Kraken have been a completely different team on home ice this year and they have won a majority of their games there. They have been terrible in their road games though and I think the Sharks can take advantage of that to get a win against them here. I like the Sharks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Sharks. | |||||||
02-26-22 | Avalanche v. Golden Knights +120 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 16 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. Vegas hasn't looked good in their games lately, they only have 1/5 wins in their previous 5 games but I think it is time for them to snap out of their funk. They just lost their most recent game to the Coyotes and that is not a good look on them at all. I think they are going to be really upset from that loss and I expect them to take out their anger on the Avalanche here. They actually lost 1 of those 4 losses in their previous 5 games to the Avalanche on home ice and they were shut out in that game. I think they are going to remember that game and I expect them to be motivated after getting shut out last time to score some goals and win this game. They have a chance for redemption here since they will be on home ice again and they didn't even play that bad in their previous meeting. That game was 0-0 up until the 3rd period when the Avalanche scored an early goal in the 1st 2 minutes of that period and that ended up being the game winner. I think Vegas will give a better performance in this game though. The Avalanche have been very hot lately with 4 wins in their previous 5 games and I think that is even more motivation for Vegas to play hard and try to add another loss onto Colorado's run. The Avalanche are also leading the West at the moment and they have that lead by 12 points over the 2nd place team. I think Vegas is coming for them tonight and will have the extra motivation in this game to knock them down a few pegs. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Golden Knights. | |||||||
02-25-22 | Kings v. Ducks -102 | 4-1 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks. I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the LA Kings on Friday. The Ducks have won 2 games in a row and I think they can extend that run to 3 games here. They have been scoring a lot of goals lately and I think they will do the same as they start to gain some momentum playing on home ice after coming back from a road trip. The Kings are also on a road trip here and they have won 3 games in a row, all 3 games of their road trip. This is the last road game for them before returning home and with the game being so close to home I don't think they are going to give their best effort in this game. They did not look good in their 3 wins and they must be exhausted from playing those games. They won their 1st game in Vegas going past regulation to get that win. Then they played the Coyotes in Arizona 2 games in a row and they did not look that impressive, winning 1 of those 5-3 but their most recent game was 3-2 and they came from behind in that game. I think the Kings are going to be out of gas here and the Ducks should be able to take advantage of that on their home ice. I like the Ducks to win this game and end the run the Kings are on. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Ducks. | |||||||
02-24-22 | Stars v. Predators -143 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 16 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators. I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. The Predators haven't looked lately but they just broke out of a big funk with a win in their most recent game. They beat the Panthers 6-4 in a road game and I think they can start to gain some momentum into this game now that they have won a game and ended their losing skid. They are back on home ice for this game and I expect them to be fired up to play here. They are just 4 points above the Stars in the Standings so this is a huge game for both teams since a win for the Stars inches them closer while a win for the Preds allows them to pull away more. They have looked pretty good on their home ice this year and they haven't lost a game on home ice that went past regulation. The Stars actually have a road record below .500 this year and they have looked really shaky in their games lately. They have won 3/5 games of their previous 5 but only 1 of those wins was impressive. During that time, they lost 2 games, 1 of those games was against the Coyotes where they only scored 1 goal and the other was a loss to the Avalanche where they were shut out. They also had 3 wins during that time but only 1 was impressive and that was because it was a revenge game right after they had been shut out their game before by the Avalanche. Their other 2 wins were against the Jets and the Blackhawks, who are both below the Stars in the standings, and they had to go past regulation to win both of those games. I don't like the way the Stars have looked lately, just getting by barely in a lot of these games tells me that they have a losing skid coming their way and I think it is time for them to fizzle out a bit here. The Preds have already served their time, just breaking out of a losing skid now and I think they will play hard here on home ice to maintain their lead over the Stars in the standings. I think they have looked a lot better lately and I expect them to win this game on home ice. I like the Predators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Predators. | |||||||
02-23-22 | Kings -1.5 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Kings -1.5. I like the LA Kings puckline in this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. The Kings have looked good in their games lately, they have won 2 games in a row now. They have won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 2 of those wins were by 2+ goals. They even beat the Coyotes 5-3 in their most recent game and that game was in Arizona too. Now they are facing the Coyotes again in another road game but I think they will be able to repeat here what they did to the Coyotes on Saturday. I expect them to get a good and fast start to the game with a few days of rest and the Coyotes are 1 of the worst teams in the league anyway. The Kings played their most recent game against the Coyotes but the Coyotes most recent game was not, it was actually against the Stars and they won that game 3-1 so I think that loss to the Kings won't be weighing down on their minds as much here. The Coyotes have been having a terrible year and a lot of their losses lately have been by 2+ goals. The Kings are in a position to make the playoffs at the moment and I think they will be motivated to keep playing hard in every game with how well they have been looking lately. This year is a wash for the Coyotes and I expect the Kings to beat up on them again in this game. I like the Kings on the puckline to win this game by -1.5. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Kings. | |||||||
02-22-22 | Maple Leafs v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets +1.5. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets puckline against the Toronto Maple Leafs in this game on Tuesday. The Jackets have been very hot lately and I think they are going to continue on this roll in this game on Tuesday. They have won 2 games in a row and they have won 5/6 of their previous 6 games. They have not only won 2 games in a row but they have scored 7 goals in both of those games and their scoring has been very hot over their previous 6 games too. The Leafs haven't looked good lately losing 2 games in a row and I think now is the time for the Jackets to catch them off guard and sneak a win out. Both of their 2 losses were by 3 goals and the Leafs are also on a B2B here travelling from Montreal to Columbus. The Leafs have not been great on the road lately either as they have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 road games and I think the Jackets will give a good effort against them here on home ice. The Jackets have scored 7 goals in both games of their previous 2 and the Leafs have failed to score more than 3 goals in their 2 most recent games. I think the Jackets are getting them at a good time here since they are in a bit of a scoring drought but more so their defense has been tanking lately. I think the Jackets are too at the moment to be stopped by a shaky Leafs defense and I expect the Jackets to stay in this game with a chance to win it here on home ice. Even if they don't win the game, I can see this being very close or even going past regulation so I like the Jackets on the puckline here +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Blue Jackets. | |||||||
02-21-22 | Hurricanes v. Flyers OVER 6 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes/Flyers OVER. I am on the over in the Carolina Hurricanes vs Philadelphia Flyers game on Monday. The Hurricanes have seen a lot of high scoring games lately with their 2 most recent games seeing a combined 6+ goals as well as 5/7 of their previous 7 games. They have also been getting hot in these previous 2 games and I think they can carry that momentum over into this game. The Hurricanes are also playing on a B2B here and I think they will be a bit tired which means that their defensive effort is going to be lacking in this game. I think their offense will be fine though since they have scored 4+ goals in 2 games in a row now and I don't see why they would just go cold in this game. The Flyers have also seen a lot of their games be high scoring lately. They have seen 6+ goals in 4 games in a row and only 1/7 of their previous 7 games haven't had that many goals combined in it. The Flyers have also scored 3+ goals in 2 games in a row and they haven't played since Thursday so I think all that rest will benefit their scoring in this game. They have even lost 4 games in a row and I think they will be looking to bounce back here with a win. I expect the Flyers to come out strong in this game and set the tone early which will force the Hurricanes to start scoring goals and catch up here. I think there is going to be a lot of goals in this game and with it being an afternoon start too, I could see the defensive effort lacking for both teams here in this game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Flyers. | |||||||
02-20-22 | Golden Knights -155 v. Sharks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. Vegas has lost 3 games in a row now but I think they can stop the bleeding here and get a win over the Sharks. They were shut out in 2 games in a row but they finally got some goals on the board and scored 3 in their most recent game. They went on to lose in OT to the Kings after blowing a late lead but I think they are going to come to play a lot better after 2 disappointing performances in a row on home ice. The Sharks have been in a huge skid lately losing 5 games in a row and they have only won 1/8 of their previous 8 games. They have already lost 2 in a row at home and I expect them to make it 3 here. The Sharks have a history with Vegas and they have become rivals going all the way back to when Vegas 1st came into the league and these 2 met each other in the playoffs a few times. Vegas will get up for this game and I expect them to be motivated to get the win over the Sharks here knowing the Sharks have been in a huge skid and they can break out of their own funk. The Golden Knights came close to winning the other night but lost it in OT. I think they are going to tighten up on defense here to make sure they don't blow another lead. Vegas is also a lot better than the Sharks just in general, Vegas will be in the playoffs this year and the Sharks will not be. I like Vegas to break out of their funk here and win this game over the Sharks. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Golden Knights. | |||||||
02-19-22 | Ducks v. Canucks UNDER 5.5 | 7-4 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ducks/Canucks UNDER. I am on the under in the Anaheim Ducks vs Vancouver Canucks game on Saturday. The Ducks haven't looked good lately losing 4 games in a row and they haven't been scoring much in these games either. Their defense has been terrible though and they have given up 4+ goals in 3 games in a row. This is going to be the 3rd game of a road trip through Western Canada for them and with 2 losses already, I expect them to tighten up on defense here and try to come away from their road trip with some sort of points. This is the worst team that they will see on their road trip too so this is the best chance they are going to get. The Canucks have won 2 games in a row but they have just returned from San Jose and I think they are going to be due for a bit of a let down here in their 1st game back at home. The Canucks have looked great on defense though and I think this is a game where they will play more defensively since their team could be a bit tired from the travel and the OT game in their most recent one. I'm expecting an underwhelming performance from both teams scorers here and I think this will be a game that the defense and goalies play well in. These teams are very close in the standings too so I don't think either team will be so quick to let in a goal tonight. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Canucks. | |||||||
02-18-22 | Stars -145 v. Blackhawks | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars. I like the Dallas Stars to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. The Stars have looked good lately and they only have the 1 loss in their previous 4 games. That loss was against Avalanche but they got their revenge on them 2 days later, beating them 4-1 in a road game after getting shut out 4-0 by them on home ice in their game before. The Stars responded well in that game and I think they are going to continue playing at a high level here. The Stars have looked ridiculously good in their road games lately winning 5 road games in a row and their 3 most recent road games have all been won by 2+ goals. The Blackhawks have lost 2/3 games of their previous 3 but they have not looked good all year and this season is going to end in failure for them since they have been 1 of the worst teams in the West this year and are 10+ points out of wild card spot, and they have even played more games than most teams in the West. They are on the lower end of the scale when it comes to goals for in the NHL this year but even in the games that they do score a lot of goals in, their defense can't even hang in there for them. Their most recent game was a loss to the Blue Jackets, who aren't going to be a playoff team this year either, but even in a game where they scored 4 goals they gave up 7 to the Jackets, and they have had their own issues with scoring in some of their games this year. The Stars are definitely destined for the playoffs this year, they have a really good team with lots of talent but right now they are on the outside looking in and they need to start stringing some wins together to get in better position. I think the Stars are going to start going on a run here and I like how they have looked in their road games lately. I like the Stars to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Stars. | |||||||
02-17-22 | Canucks -110 v. Sharks | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. The Canucks have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 8 games but they just won their most recent game over the Leafs and I think they should have some momentum after that win, carrying it over into this game. The Canucks held the Leafs to 2 goals in that game and they have looked a lot better on defense lately, keeping more pucks out of their net now than when they under their old coach. The Sharks have had a rough year and they are back near the bottom of the standings where they belong. They haven't looked good lately, losing 4 games in a row and they were just shut out on home ice in their most recent game by the Oilers who haven't been playing that great either. The Sharks have not been able to score goals lately and I think that is going to be a major problem here. They have only scored 3 goals in their previous 3 games and if that's all they can do here then they are not winning this game since the Canucks have looked a lot better defensively in the new year. I don't think the Sharks can score in this game with how bad their offense has been lately and it also doesn't help that they are missing their star on defense Erik Karlsson. I think the Canucks will have no problem scoring goals on the Sharks here and rolling all over them in this road game while the Sharks continue their scoring troubles into this game. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Canucks. | |||||||
02-16-22 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -128 | 3-2 | Loss | -128 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday. The Hurricanes just lost their most recent game to the Wild 3-2 but they were down 3-0 in that game before making a comeback just to fall short anyway. They haven't been winning many games lately losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games but all 3 of those losses were by 1 goal and I think it is time for them to bounce back here. The Hurricanes are still a top team in the league this year and they have been playing great for most of the year, just hitting a mini slump now. I think they can break out of their funk with a win on home ice over the Panthers though. The Panthers are also 1 of the top teams in the league this year but lately they have not looked good in their road games. They just lost their last game to the Rangers 5-2 and 2/4 of their previous road games have been losses. They even lost 1 of those games to the Kraken who are 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think the Panthers will struggle in this road game against another top team in the league and I think the Hurricanes will be hungry to win after a few close losses by 1 goal. The Hurricanes are too talented to keep losing this many games and it is only a matter of time until they break a game open with their potent scoring offense and get a win going back on a roll. I think that roll can start here with a win on home ice for them against a Panthers team that has had issues in road games lately. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Hurricanes. | |||||||
02-15-22 | Bruins v. Rangers -140 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The Rangers have won 2 games in a row and I think they are going to continue winning games with another win on home ice over the Bruins here. The Rangers are in 3rd place in their division but it is a very tight race at the moment and they are clearly 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They should have a lot of confidence since they just won on home ice by 3 goals over the Florida Panthers who really do look to be the best team this year in the league and have the most points in the East. The Bruins are on the outside looking in at the moment for a playoff spot in their division but they have only won 2/5 games in their previous 5. They just won their most recent game 2-0 in Ottawa but the Senators are 1 of the worst teams in the East and that win really isn't impressive at all. When put up against much more respectable teams lately, the Bruins have fallen short with losses to the Hurricanes, Penguins, and Stars. They only lost to the Penguins 4-2 but their other 2 losses were 6-0 and 6-1 against the Hurricanes and Stars and I think they are going to be in for the same here in a road game against the Rangers who are just as good as those 3 teams mentioned before. The Rangers have been rebuilding for years and now that they have a good team that can compete, they have their sights set on nothing less than a Stanley Cup. The Bruins are not the same team that they have been in the past years and they will have a much better and younger team get the best of them here. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Rangers. | |||||||
02-14-22 | Oilers -138 v. Sharks | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Monday. The Oilers finally snapped out of their funk lately with a win in their most recent game. They had lost 2 games in a row but just beat the Islanders on home ice 3-1 and their defense was impressive in that game. They looked a lot better overall and I think the Oilers will start to get back on track and win some more games again. The Sharks started the year off strong but they have been slipping in the standings a lot lately and are now in 2nd last place in their division, right above the Kraken. The Sharks have lost 3 games in a row now, all of those losses were by 1 goal but their scoring has dried up a bit lately and I think they aren't going to be able to score on this Oilers defense which looked a lot better in their previous game. The Sharks have actually not been playing well for a while now and they only have 1 win in their previous 6 games. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals in most of those games either and I think that will come back to bite them here. The Oilers looked better on defense in their previous game so I think they can continue that in this game making it difficult for the Sharks to score but they have already been struggling to score goals lately and I think this game could be a recipe for disaster for them. The Oilers will have some confidence after their previous win and I think the frustration is building up for the Sharks losing so many close games lately. These teams are in completely different stages, the Oilers are supposed to be a very good team that belongs in the playoffs every year while the Sharks have been rebuilding and have nowhere near the talent that the Oilers have. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Oilers. | |||||||
02-13-22 | Sabres v. Canadiens +107 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Montreal Canadiens. I like the Montreal Canadiens to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. The Canadiens have lost 9 games in a row and they are the worst team in the league at the moment. They are the only team in the league that doesn't have 10+ wins yet and the situation has gotten so bad that they just fired their coach. I think this could be the turning point for the team and usually a coaching change will shake things up like when the Canucks fired their head coach earlier this year and have been much improved since then. I think the Canadiens are going to play much better now and I expect them to break out of their funk here on home ice. The Sabres are right above them in the standings and they haven't been having a good year since they are also 1 of the worst teams in the league this year. The Sabres have lost 3 games in a row themselves and they have lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games with their only win coming against the Coyotes who are the worst team in the West. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals in their road games either and they have only scored more than 2 goals in 1/4 of their previous 4 road games. This is also an afternoon start time and I think that will make both teams a bit slow and sluggish to start this game. I expect the Canadiens to be hungry to end their skid here and take advantage of the slumping Sabres off to a slow start. I think this is the best chance for the Canadiens to get a win and start turning the page here on home ice. I like the Canadiens to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canadiens. | |||||||
02-12-22 | Hurricanes -105 v. Wild | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Hurricanes just lost 2 close games in Canada losing by 1 goal in both games but they bounced back in their most recent game with a 6-0 slaughter of the Bruins in a road game. Now that they have the taste of winning again and are coming off such a strong performance, I think the Hurricanes can start building their win streak again and I expect them to get the win in Minnesota here. The Hurricanes are in 1st place in the Metropolitan Division but they have been 1 of the strongest teams in the league for years now. The Bruins are not a bad team and it takes a lot of skill to shut them out on their home ice but the Hurricanes still did and they put up 6 goals in the game too just to add some salt in the wound. The Wild had won 6 games in a row but they just lost their most recent game to the jets and they were shut out in that game. This is their 1st game back from a road trip too and I expect them to come out a bit slow and sluggish in this game. I think the Wild has lost a lot of their momentum from their big run of 6 wins in a row and I think they are going to go into a mini slump before breaking out and winning again. The Wild have looked very good on home ice lately but they have also been playing some really bad teams and I think they aren't going to be able to handle what the Hurricanes bring their way in this game. The Hurricanes are on a mission to finish with the most points and I see them starting to roll for the rest of the year. They are built much stronger than the Wild are and they should have no trouble winning this game. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
02-11-22 | Lightning v. Coyotes OVER 6 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Coyotes OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs Arizona Coyotes game on Friday. The Lightning have been alternating between wins and losses over their previous 4 games with all of those games ending with a 3-2 final score but I think it's time that comes to an end. They have had to play playoff teams in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they have been really tight games but the Coyotes are the worst in the West and I think this is a game that the Lightning can break open with a lot of scoring. They have still been scoring 2+ goals in 5 games in a row and I expect them to score more in this game since the Coyotes have a terrible defense. The Coyotes lead the West in goals against this year with 176 goals against, that is the 2nd worst in the entire NHL behind the Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning have 159 goals for this year and although that isn't at the top of the league, it is still top 10 for goals for and they are tied for 2nd in the East with goal for. The Coyotes have even played 3 games in a row now where there was 6+ goals in the game. They just scored 5 goals in their most recent game and they should have a bit more confidence with scoring in this game on their home ice but I don't expect their defense to hold up well against the Lightning. The Lightning have been held down by good teams lately and I think they are waiting to have a game where they bust it open with their scoring. I think they can do that here against the Coyotes and I expect there to be a lot of goals in this game. I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Lightning. | |||||||
02-10-22 | Blue Jackets -105 v. Sabres | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Columbus Blue Jackets. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The Blue Jackets have looked a lot better in their games lately and they are starting to win a lot more after going through a pretty big slump. They have wins in 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won in their most recent game too. Their only loss during that time was to the Panthers who are by far 1 of the strongest teams in the league this year. Luckily for the Jackets, the Sabres are 1 of the worst teams in the East and they just beat up on some other bad teams in the East like a 6-3 win over the Canadiens. I think the Jackets are going to play well on home ice here and I expect them to keep winning more games now that they have built up some momentum in their previous games. The Sabres haven't looked good in a lot of their games this year but they are really banged up lately and have a ton of players missing from this game. They have lost 2 games in a row and both of those losses were by 3 goals. This is also their 1st game back from a trip of 4 games on the road and I think they are going to come out slow and sluggish in this game from all of that travel along with their team being shorthanded. This is also their only home games and then they go right back on the road after to play Montreal. I think this 1st game back from their road trip is going to be a let down and the Jackets have looked good lately. They are a lot healthier than the Sabres are and I expect the Jackets to pounce on this chance to get another road win. I like the Columbus Blue Jackets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Blue Jackets. | |||||||
02-09-22 | Blackhawks v. Oilers -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers -1.5. I like the Edmonton Oilers puckline against the Chicago Blackhawks in this game on Wednesday. The Oilers are playing on a B2B at home here and they lost their game last night against Vegas getting shut out 4-0 in that game. To lose 4-0 on home ice is very embarrassing, especially for a team like the Oilers who look at themselves like 1 of the best teams in the league with all of their talent. I think they are going to play angry in this game being on home ice again and I expect them to bounce back with a huge win here. Any time a team in the NHL gets shut out that team usually makes it a point to score a ton in their next game to make up for a bad game. Well I think the Oilers are going to do that here and they are getting Chicago here who roll into town losing 3 games in a row. Not only have they lost 3 in a row but they have also lost 6/7 in their previous 7 games. The Blackhawks are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and they have not looked good in any of their games really. I think they are going to keep struggling all year and I expect the Oilers to pounce on this opportunity to get a bounce back game and beat up on a very bad team. This is the 1st game back for the Blackhawks since Feb 2 and I think the Oilers have the advantage here having played a game last night. They will be warmed up and I expect the Oilers to come out fast and take the lead early in this game. I think Chicago will be a bit slow and sluggish to start after that layoff and I expect the Oilers to capitalize. I like the Oilers puckline here to win this game by -1.5 goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Oilers. | |||||||
02-08-22 | Golden Knights v. Oilers +102 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers. I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Oilers have finally started to look a lot better in their games lately. They were on a huge losing streak and were really struggling to win games with a lot of injuries and even a few covid cases on their team but they have been getting healthy and have looked a lot better lately. I think they can win this game since they have been getting very hot leading up to the All Star break. They have 1 loss in their previous 6 games and they went into the All Star break with a win in their most recent game. They have been scoring a lot of goals again in their games and have scored 3+ in all of those wins. They will need that offense against Vegas who can also score a lot of goals in their games but I think the Oilers are going to outscore them here on their home ice. The Golden Knights have won 2 games in a row but they have even struggled to win both of those games. They won their most recent game over the Sabres but they had to go to a shootout to beat the Lightning right before that game and they had also lost 2 in a row before those 2 wins. The All Star game was also in Vegas this year and their previous game was at home so they have been relaxing at home for over a week now. I think the long layoff, coupled with the travel to Canada where players don't like to come because of the covid restrictions, is going to hurt Vegas in this game and I think the Oilers can get the win here and continue their hot streak lately. The Oilers were only struggling because of their missing players but now that they are almost at full strength again they should get back on track and win more games now. They are also getting 1 of their goalies back for this game too since they have been playing with their 3rd string. I like the Oilers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers. | |||||||
02-07-22 | Devils v. Senators -130 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ottawa Senators. I like the Ottawa Senators to win this game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. The Senators are on home ice for this game and that is a major advantage for them. Besides the fact that there will only be roughly 500 fans in the building for this game, most of the players in the NHL are beginning to hate travelling to Canada for games with all of the covid restrictions they have in place since it is a major inconvenience to them. This works out for the Senators since they have been a better team on home ice this year and lately they have looked a lot better in their home games. I think they have the advantage here coming off of the long layoff, both teams will be a bit rusty at 1st but the Senators will have the comfort of not having to travel and there will be some Devils players that simply don't want to be here. I think this can help out the Senators a lot here but I also think they will win this game since the Devils have been terrible leading up to the All Star break. The Devils have lost 6 games in a row but their 2 most recent games were just embarrassing. The Devils lost B2B games against the Leafs, 1 at home 1 on the road, but the way they did it was just terrible and I can't back a team that plays like this. In the 1st of their 2 meetings the Devils had a 4-2 lead over the Leafs going into the 3rd period and the Leafs had not scored a goal in the 2nd period at all so they weren't even hot or gaining momentum in the game. The Devils collapsed in the 3rd letting the Leafs score 4 unanswered goals to win that game 6-4. Then the Devils had another chance on their home ice to redeem themselves and instead they let the Leafs plaster them 7-1 on their own home ice. I understand that both of these teams are very bad this year but I can't back a team that pulled off what the Devils did in their previous 2 games and I need to see some improvement from them before they can be trusted again. I feel much better going with the home team here who doesn't have to travel and even won their previous game at home. I like the Senators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Senators. | |||||||
02-02-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Islanders -160 | 3-0 | Loss | -160 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday. The Islanders just won their most recent game 4-1 at home over Ottawa and I think they can repeat that performance in this game. That win ended a 2 game losing skid but they have looked a lot better in their games lately after having a very rough start to their year. They have also looked really good on home ice, they have been stumbling a bit lately but, I think they can string some wins together now that they have 1 under their belt against the Senators. The Senators are not a very good team this year and it is expected that the Islanders would beat them on home ice but the Kraken are an even worse team and have done nothing but struggle to win games ever since joining the league, and their struggles have been even stronger in their road games. I think the Islanders are going to have a strong physical presence here and I think they can beat up on the Kraken here on home ice. The Kraken have lost 2 games in a row and they are at the bottom of the standings in the West. They have not looked good on the road either, they have lost 2 games in a row on the road and they have won 1/7 road games in their previous 7. The Islanders are simply the better team here and have been playing much better on home ice this year. The Kraken have not been good in their games and they have struggled even more in road games lately. The Islanders should have no troubles in this game so I like the Islanders to get the win here. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Islanders. | |||||||
02-01-22 | Panthers v. Rangers +1.5 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers +1.5. I like the New York Rangers puckline against the Florida Panthers in this game on Tuesday. The Rangers just ended a 2 game losing skid with a win in their most recent game but they have been playing some good hockey lately and i think they can keep this a close game with the Panthers here. The Rangers have looked really good on home ice this year and they have played some of their best hockey in their own building this year. They have won 5/6 home games in their L6. They have also won 6 home games in their previous 9 and the 3 games that they lost were all by 1 goal. Even when they lose on home ice they keep the game close and I think they will do the same here, both of these teams have been great all year and I think the Rangers could even win this game. The Panthers have won 4 games in a row now but I think that run is going to end here. They are playing a B2B game here on the road and they just scored 8 goals the night before but also gave up 4 goals to the Blue Jackets who have not looked great this year. The Panthers have actually given up 4 goals in both of their previous 2 games and I think they are going to struggle to keep the Rangers out of the net here on their home ice. I also think they are due for a bit of a let down after scoring 8 goals the night before and I think the Rangers can take advantage of them here. The Rangers have a good chance of taking this win on home ice here so I like the Rangers on the puckline +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Rangers. | |||||||
01-31-22 | Oilers v. Senators UNDER 6.5 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Senators UNDER. I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators game on Monday. The Oilers have been looking a lot better in their games lately winning 4 in a row and they have been winning more games with a good defensive effort lately. They have not given up more than 2 goals in their previous 3 games and I think they will keep that up in this game, shutting the door on the Senators from scoring here. They just scored 7 goals in their most recent game but that was a win against the Canadiens who are the worst team in the league now and I think they will have more trouble scoring in this game since the Senators have been playing good defense lately and have looked a lot better on their home ice this year. The Senators have seen 5 goals or less total in 5 games in a row and that has also held true for their previous 5 home games in a row. They haven't given up more than 3 goals in 5 games in a row but they have only scored more than 2 goals in 1 of those games. The Senators are also missing a ton of players here and some key players too so i think they will continue to play hard on defense and try to win low scoring games with a lot of their offensive power out injured. I don't think the Sens will be able to score a lot on the Oilers in this game since the Oilers have looked a lot better lately and have been better on defense in those games. I also think the Sens have been good on defense though and the Oilers haven't really been their greatest over the last few weeks so I expect the Sens to keep them at bay here and keep this a low scoring game to give themselves a chance. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Oilers. | |||||||
01-29-22 | Canucks +1.5 v. Flames | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Canucks +1.5. I like the Vancouver Canucks puckline against the Calgary Flames in this game on Saturday. The Canucks haven't looked bad in their games lately and even in their losses they have still been playing very well. They just thrashed the Jets on the road in their most recent game winning that one 5-1 and I think they can keep up that momentum going into this game. They had lost 3 games in a row before winning their most recent but they lost 2 of those 3 games by just 1 goal, forcing both of those games past regulation. They have also been playing great defense and their goaltending has been great in their games lately too since they haven't allowed more than 3 goals in 6 games in a row. The Canucks have been playing other Canadian teams very tough this year, they are 5-1 in their L6 against Canadian teams. I think they are going to play tough in this game too and I expect them to give the Flames a good challenge here. The Flames have been a very up and down team all year, winning a lot of their games in spurts, they are really a team that you need to back while they are still red hot and winning games. They were winning a lot of games lately but they have cooled off now and just lost their most recent game to the Blues 5-1. After a bad loss like that I expect the Flames to play much better defense in this game, especially when they haven't given up more than 1 goal in their previous 3 wins in a row. I think the Canucks are going to play hard in this game and even if they can't get the win here, I expect them to keep this game close and force it past regulation again which they have been doing a lot lately. I like the Canucks on the puckline here +1.5. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Flames. | |||||||
01-28-22 | Capitals +101 v. Stars | 5-0 | Win | 101 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Friday. The Capitals have lost 2 games in a row and i think they are due for a bounce back here. They lost a close game at home to Vegas losing 1-0 and then they got embarrassed by the Sharks 4-1, again on their home ice. I think they will respond to that loss with a much better performance here and I expect them to bounce back and win this game against the Stars. The Stars have won 4 games in a row but i think that is going to end here. All 4 of those wins came on a road trip that they were on and this is their 1st game back at home since all of that travel. I think they will come out a bit sluggish and slow in this 1st game back at home and I think the Capitals can take advantage of them here. The Stars are going to be fat and happy coming back from that road trip with all of the possible points that they could've earned. The Capitals are going to be hungry for a win though since they haven't been winning many games lately but they have been coming close losing a lot of games by 1 goal. I think they are going to get after the Stars here and the Capitals have also been getting healthier over their past few games so I am expecting a good effort from them in this game. I like the Capitals to win this game against the Stars. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Capitals. | |||||||
01-27-22 | Hurricanes v. Senators UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hurricanes/Senators UNDER. I am on the under in the Carolina Hurricanes vs Ottawa Senators game on Thursday. The Hurricanes have had 4 games in a row go over the posted total and I think that run is coming to an end in this game. The Hurricanes didn't impress in their most recent game, they won 4-3 in OT at home over a Vegas team that has been beaten up with injuries and covid. They just played a game at home, now they are travelling up to Canada for just this 1 game and then they are going right back home for their next game after. Canada has some very strict covid restrictions for these teams travelling there and a few NHL players have already come out and voiced their displeasure with playing in Canada now. I don't think the Hurricanes are going to be motivated for this game and I don't expect them to score a lot of goals here when Ottawa's defense has looked a lot better lately. The Sens have had 3 games in a row go under this posted total and their defense has looked a lot better. They just posted a shutout in their most recent game and they have given up just 1 goal in their previous 2 games. The Sens haven't been playing any tough teams though and I think they are going to have a much tougher time finding the net in this game against a much better team than what they have seen lately. I think this is going to be a game where both defenses shine and keep the game low scoring. The Sens aren't a very good team either so i don't really see the Hurricanes getting up for this game and playing hard against them on the road too. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
01-27-22 | Rangers v. Blue Jackets UNDER 6 | 3-5 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Rangers/Blue Jackets UNDER. I am on the under in the New York Rangers vs Columbus Blue Jackets game on Thursday. The Rangers have looked really good in their games lately but they have been involved in much lower scoring games on the road compared to their home games. They have had 5 of their previous 6 games stay under this posted total and they themselves only scored 4+ goals in 1 of those games. Most of those games were similar in the sense that 1 team would usually score 1 goal and the other would score around 3 on average and I think there will be a similar result in this game. The Rangers have looked great lately but they haven't played a game since Monday and that game even dragged out going into a shootout. I think they are going to come out a bit sluggish at the start of this game due to the longer layoff and I don't expect there to be any early goals from them. They have also been giving up early goals in their games lately and then have to dig their way out so i think they will be focused on a better defensive effort here. The Blue Jackets aren't exactly a good team and they don't have a great offense either. They haven't scored more than 2 goals in any of their previous 5 games and I don't expect that to be any different here. They aren't playing well losing 3 games in a row and I think this will be a game that the Rangers will dominate with good defense. I think this will be a low scoring game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 2-0 Rangers. | |||||||
01-27-22 | Kings v. Islanders -129 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -129 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Islanders. I like the New York Islanders to win this game against the LA Kings on Thursday. The Islanders are 5-1 in their previous 6 games and they have looked really good lately. Their year started off really rough with the 13 game road trip and then when their new arena opened up their team was infested with covid cases but now they are back and healthy and have looked great since, starting to surge in their latest games. They have looked great on home ice and they are 7-3 in their L10 at home. The Islanders just got over the .500 mark in what seemed like a lost season just a few weeks ago but now that they are back in the mix and playing well, I expect them to go on a big run and take advantage of their home games to try and make up some ground in the standings after what's been a wonky year for them. The Kings are in middle of a road trip playing their 3rd game but they are 1-4 in their L5 games and they haven't looked good in most of those. They just lost their most recent game in a shootout and that game was on Monday so I expect them to a bit sluggish here from the longer layoff. I think they are going to come out slow in this game and the Islanders, who have been playing much better lately and have been great at home now, will take advantage of them early in this game and make it where they won't be able to catch up. I expect the Islanders to come out strong taking an early lead and never look back in this game as they start surging up the standing with more wins. I think the Islanders are on the up trend while the Kings are trending downward with their play lately. I like the Islanders to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Islanders. | |||||||
01-26-22 | Blackhawks v. Red Wings -121 | 8-5 | Loss | -121 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Red Wings. I like the Detroit Red Wings to win this game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The Red Wings have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back here. The Red Wings haven't played a game since Saturday, they lost on the road to the Predators 4-1 in that game and have been sitting on that bad loss since then. I think with all of that time between then and now to think about that loss in Nashville, the Red Wings will come out with a fire lit under them and play hard to get a bounce back win here on their home ice. The Red Wings have had some dominant performances on their home ice this year and it is where they play their best hockey. Their previous home game was a loss to the Stars but the Stars had to take them to OT just to get those 2 points. The Red Wings are not a great team this year but I think they have their best chances of winning games when they play on home ice. The Blackhawks have actually been even worse than the Red Wings have this year so I think this is the perfect spot for the Red Wings to bounce back and beat up on a bad team here. The Blackhawks have lost 4 games in a row now but long losing streaks have been a common theme for them all year. They have also lost 3 games in a row on the road and they haven't looked good in their road games all year. The Blackhawks are another team just like the Red Wings in the sense that they play much better on home ice and struggle a lot more in road games. I think the Blackhawks are going to continue their struggles here and I expect the Red Wings to get a nice bounce back win here on home ice, I like the Red Wings to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Red Wings. | |||||||
01-25-22 | Oilers v. Canucks +118 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win this game against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The Canucks have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have kept both games close, losing by 2 goals to the Blues in their most recent game and losing in a shootout to the Panthers the game before that, a game where they led 1-0 for most of the game before letting the Panthers tie it in the last 5 minutes of the game. This is the last game of a homestand for the Canucks before they go on a road trip and they have lost all their games on home ice during that time. I think the Canucks are going to want to end their homestand with some points here and I expect them to play hard to get that win before starting their road trip right after. The Oilers just ended a 7 game losing skid with a win in their most recent game but that doesn't mean that their problems are fixed up there. The Oilers have been dealing with a lot of covid issues lately and their fans have really been harping on the team about all the losses, with the local media adding fuel to the fire by asking their star players like Leon Draisaitl why they are being so pissy. This is not a good situation in Edmonton right now and if things don't change soon they could be looking at a McDavid exit at the end of his contract. The Oilers finally won a game against the Flames but I think they put a lot of extra effort into that game with it being the battle of Alberta and I expect them to be tired from that win. The Canucks have looked great on defense since turning their team around with a new coach and I think they can keep the struggling Oilers out of the net here after keeping the red hot Panthers out for most of that game. I think the Canucks can take advantage of the Oilers in their current situation here and I expect them to finish off their homestand with a win here. i like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Canucks. | |||||||
01-25-22 | Golden Knights v. Hurricanes -162 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. The Hurricanes just lost their most recent game and that ended a run of 3 wins that they had strung together. They were looking great in their games until getting stopped by the Devils on Saturday losing that game 7-4. They let in a lot of goals in that game and I expect them to play better on defense in this game since Vegas can score goals and the Hurricanes will be looking to get that game back that they lost. The Hurricanes have been great at home this year and I think they are going to smack the Knights around here. Vegas just played their 1st road game in January the previous night after playing 8 games in a row at home. They are dealing with a lot of their players in covid protocol right now and they don't have their team at full strength here. This is also a B2B game for them and I think they are going to be a bit tired from that. They haven't really looked good in their games lately, they have won 2 games in a row but 1 was against the Canadiens at home who are the worst team in the league but they needed OT just to get by, and then their most recent game was a win on the road against the capitals that they scraped out 1-0. I think their good fortune has come to an end here though and I expect their injuries and absences from their lineup to start catching up to them. The Knights should have lost in Washington last night but they will definitely be taken down by the hot Hurricanes here. The Hurricanes have looked much better in their games lately and will be looking to bounce back after a bad loss in New Jersey. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
01-24-22 | Golden Knights v. Capitals -145 | 1-0 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Capitals. I like the Washington Capitals to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The Capitals have been in some really close games lately but they have managed to steal 2 wins in their previous 3 games and I think they can add another win onto their roll here. They have also won 2 home games in a row and I think they can keep that streak going here. Vegas is dealing with some injuries to some key players and they also have a few players in covid protocol which is never good since that could end up spreading to even more players on the team by the time this game starts. I think the current players missing from their lineup will hurt their scoring ability though and the Capitals are one of the highest scoring teams in the East this year. Vegas has scored more goals than the Capitals this year but a lot of their scorers are going to miss this game and ever since coming into the league a few years ago, Vegas has always been a much better team on home ice. I don't think they are going to play well here on the road with a lot of their players missing. Vegas also just played 8 games in a row on home ice and this is going to be their 1st road game in January. I think this is going to be a bit of a let down for them after being at home for so long and I expect the Capitals to come at them hard and make it a very physical game for them. I think it's a good spot for the Capitals here and I like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Capitals. | |||||||
01-21-22 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -152 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win against the New York Rangers in this game on Friday. The Hurricanes have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now but they have both been blowout wins for them. They broke out of the funk they were in with a big 4-1 win over the Canucks but they continued that into their next game with a 7-1 rout over the Bruins on the road for that game too. I think now that they are hot they are going to go on a huge run and they should play even better in this game with it being on their home ice. The Hurricanes have scored 11 goals in their previous 2 games and have only given up 2 goals in those games. The Rangers have also been hot lately winning 3 games in a row now but I think this is the spot for their streak to come to an end. The Hurricanes are 1 of the few teams in the league that are actually better than the Rangers and they will play a good game on home ice making it very difficult for the Rangers to score on their defense here. The Rangers are lucky to have even extended their win streak against the Leafs the other night with the way they played that game. They fell down 2-0 early in the 1st 10 mins of that game and they were down 3-1 in the 2nd period before scoring 5 unanswered goals to make a comeback and win 6-3. They were able to do that home against the Leafs since the Leafs have been having that problem lately of blowing their leads but that is going to be a lot tougher to pull off against the Hurricanes who are better than both and to do it on the road in Carolina where their defense has been great just doesn't seem practical to me. I think the Rangers time has come after that last game and the Hurricanes are a team that I don't want to step in front of right now. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Hurricanes. | |||||||
01-20-22 | Jets v. Predators -130 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators. I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Predators have lost 4 games in a row now and I think they are due for a bounce back on home ice here. They lost 2 games in a row to end a road trip and they came back home and dropped their 1st game back to the Canucks 3-1. They didn't look good in that game and I think they were a bit sluggish in that 1st game back at home due to their travel coming back but I expect a much better performance from them here. The Predators have looked good this year overall and they are holding down the 3rd place spot in their division with a 4 point lead over the team behind them. The Jets have not looked that great in their games lately and they have lost 2 of their previous 3 games. They were only able to win against the Red Wings but they lost 7-1 to the Avalanche and 4-3 in OT to the Capitals in their most recent game. They have also lost 2 of their previous 3 games on the road but they are going to be at a heavy disadvantage here. The Predators won't really be missing any players for this game but the Jets have a few of their players in covid protocols and I think they are going to play much worse because of that. A lot of their 1st and 2nd line players ended up on that list and they are going to need a full strength team to go into Nashville and beat the Predators here. I think this is the perfect spot for the Predators to bounce back and get back on track in their games. The Jets in their current condition are like low hanging fruit for these slumping Preds and I expect them to take full advantage of them here on their home ice. I like the Predators to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Predators. | |||||||
01-19-22 | Coyotes v. Devils -1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Jersey Devils -1.5. I like the New Jersey Devils on the puckline against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Devils have lost 2 games in a row but I like them to bounce back in this game. They lost both of those games on a mini 2 game road trip but are back at home for this game where their last win came. Their last win at home was over the Jackets by 2 goals. The Devils have looked a lot better on home ice this year and I think they are going to beat up on the Coyotes who are the worst team in the West this year. The Coyotes just won their most recent game but that win came at home and they were playing the only team in the NHL that has less points than they do this year, the Canadiens. The Coyotes were shut out in their game before that win over the Habs 5-0 to the Avalanche. The Coyotes have been winning more games lately but a lot of that is due to the fact that they have just played 6/7 games at home over their previous 7 games. Now the Coyotes are starting a 4 game road trip and I think they are going to get off to a slow start after being at home for so long. The Coyotes also have 1 of the worst road record in the league this year with 4 wins and 14 losses on the road. The Coyotes have been a mess since the beginning of the season and their year was doomed when they went on a 10+ game losing streak before winning their 1st game. They have been very up and down in their games, they either win close games thanks to their goalkeeper who is pretty good or they completely get their doors blown off and lose by 4+ goals. I think this is going to be one of those games where the Coyotes get their doors blown off. They are a very weak team on the road and I like how the devils have been playing at home lately. I like the Devils on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Devils. | |||||||
01-18-22 | Hurricanes +125 v. Bruins | Top | 7-1 | Win | 125 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win this game against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. The Hurricanes had hit a bit of a slump with 2 losses in a row but they responded to a 6-0 blowout loss with a 4-1 win over the Canucks in their most recent game. Now that the Hurricanes have bounced back from that I expect them to continue their great play in games and go on a big run here. The Hurricanes are 1 of the better teams in the NHL and they have 6 more points than the Bruins have this year. The Hurricanes are beginning a road trip here and I expect them to set the tone by coming out strong in this 1st game. The Hurricanes have looked really good on the road lately and have been winning a lot of games. They have won 4 of their previous 5 road games and I think they are going to continue their road dominance over Boston in this game. The Bruins have won 5 games in a row but all good things must come to an end and I expect that win streak to end here. They have had some good wins on this run but lately they have been running on fumes and their 2 most recent wins were very unimpressive. They won at home by 1 goal over a Flyers team that has underachieved this year and then they went into their next game, at home again, and they beat Nashville by 1 goal but had to take them to OT just to get it done. I think their run is coming to an end here and there isn't a better team to come in on the road and slap the Bruins around on their home ice. These teams have faced 1 time already this year and the Hurricanes shut them out 3-0 in that game. I think the Hurricanes are the better team this year and i like them to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
01-17-22 | Penguins v. Golden Knights -108 | 5-3 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights. I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. Vegas got off to a rough start at the beginning of the year but now they have looked a lot better in their games and have played their way into 1st place of their division. The Knights have always been a much better team on home ice in Vegas but lately they have been losing games there. They haven't looked bad in these games though and they have come really close to winning them. They have played 6 games in a row at home and they have lost 4 of them. All 4 of their losses were by 1 goal though, and 2 of those 4 losses had to go past regulation to be settled. They have lost 2 games in a row now, both of them at home, and I expect them to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was to the Leafs and that came in a shootout. I think after such a close game at home that the Knights are going to wake up here and play a lot better than they have been. The Penguins just won their most recent game but they had to take the Sharks to OT just to win it. They were on a good run but I think the Penguins have run out of steam now and are going to fall short in Vegas. The Knights have been too close in so many home games now that they are bound to get 1 of these wins. The Penguins are also concluding a 6 game road trip with this game and I think they are going to run out of gas here from all the travelling they have done. I like the Golden Knights to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Golden Knights. | |||||||
01-14-22 | Stars v. Panthers -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 120 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers -1.5. I like the Florida Panthers on the puckline against the Dallas Stars in this game on Friday. The Panthers have been having a great year and they are 1 of the most complete teams in the league this year. They have the 2nd most points in the league and have won 2 games in a row. They only have 1 loss in 7 games and they have been putting a ton of pucks in the net lately. They have scored 4+ goals in 7 games in a row and I think they are going to keep that up in this game. They are even better when they play on home ice though and they have won 4 home games in a row by 3+ goals. They scored 5+ goals in all of those games and didn't give up more than 2 except for 1 game they gave up 3 goals but scored 9. I think they are going to continue to roll over teams at home like they have been doing all year. The Stars looked really good in their most recent game, beating the Kraken 5-2 on their home ice but this team looks completely different on the road and I think they are going to struggle in this road game against a team that is a lot better than they are. As well as the Stars have been playing lately, they have actually lost 5 games in a row on the road. In their 4 most recent road losses, they only scored 1 goal or less in every game. The Panthers are very good on both offense and defense and I don't think the Stars will be able to get by the Panthers defense here. I think their road scoring troubles are going to creep up on them here and the Panthers can score a lot too so I think the Stars are going to have a tough time keeping up with the goals in this game. I like the Panthers to win this game on the puckline. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Panthers. | |||||||
01-13-22 | Jets -120 v. Red Wings | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Winnipeg Jets. I like the Winnipeg Jets to win this game against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The Jets were looking great lately winning 3 games in a row but then they ran into a buzzsaw Avalanche team in their most recent game who destroyed them 7-1. The Avalanche are a very good team and it is tough to go into Colorado and beat them on their home ice. The Jets were playing very well up to that game and they just ran into a team that is a lot better than they are. I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be hungry after that embarrassment on the ice the other night. I think the Jets are going to show some pride in this game and make up for that brutal 7-1 loss with a much better performance here. The Red Wings haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row and 5 of their previous 6. They just played a 3 game road trip in California where they got destroyed by the Kings 4-0 and then lost in 2 close games to the Ducks and the Sharks, losing 1 game in a shootout and the other in OT. This is their 1st game back from that and I expect the Red Wings to be sluggish from the travel and the time change. The Jets are going tpo be hungry for a win here and I think they are the much better team anyway. I expect the jets to get back on track in this game against the red Wings who have been slumping lately. I like the Jets to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Jets. | |||||||
01-12-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -1.5 | 2-5 | Win | 130 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Stars -1.5. I like the Dallas Stars on the puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Stars just lost in their most recent game to the Blues and that ended a 4 game win streak for the Stars. They only lost 2-1 to the Blues in that game and they played well but they just have some trouble against the Blues specifically, that would be their 3rd loss in a row to the Blues this year. I think the Stars are due for a bounce back here with how well they have been playing lately. The Kraken are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and I don't see that changing anytime soon. They have lost 6 games in a row and haven't looked good in any of those games. They lost 4 of those 6 games by 2+ goals and they have been much worse in their road games this year than when they play on home ice. The Stars have played very well on their home ice this year and I don't think the Kraken are going to stand a chance here with how they have played on the road this year. The Stars have won 4 games in a row at home and have only lost 1/13 home games in their previous 13. The Stars have won most of their home games by 2+ goals too and I think they will do the same here. The Kraken have looked bad lately but that has been a common theme for them all year. The Stars have looked much better lately than they did at the beginning of the year and I think they are going to continue rolling now that they are at hot. They had a hiccup in their most recent game and I expect them to respond here with a big bounce back game. i like the Stars on the puckline in this game. T.M. Selection: 5-1 Stars. | |||||||
01-10-22 | Rangers -103 v. Kings | 1-3 | Loss | -103 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers. I like the New York Rangers to win this game against the LA Kings on Monday. The Rangers have been having a great year, they are 1 of the best teams in the league and are in 4th place with 50 points. The Kings have 39 points but they haven't looked nearly as good as the Rangers have looked this year and the Kings have a record much closer to .500. The Rangers bounced back the other night with a win against the Ducks after a loss to Vegas and they have now won 4 of their previous 5 games. They lost 5-1 to Vegas but without that game in there, they have been playing extremely well and were bound to fall in 1 of their games. They have only given up 2 goals total in their previous 3 wins and they have scored 4 goals in all of those games. The Kings have also won 3 of their previous 4 games but they haven't defeated any good teams in those games. Their wins were against the Canucks, Flyers, and Red Wings who are all low in the standings with losing records. The Rangers' last 3 wins were against the Lightning, Oilers, and Ducks who are all teams with winning records and sitting in playoff positions halfway through the season now. I think the Rangers are a much better team and they have looked a lot better than the Kings have in their games. The Rangers have been playing very well and they have had a much tougher schedule than the Kings have had lately but the Rangers are still finding ways to win games and win by a lot too. The Rangers have won their previous 3 games by 3+ goals in all of them and I don't think this game is going to be any different. I like the Rangers to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Rangers. | |||||||
01-08-22 | Sharks v. Flyers +111 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Philadelphia Flyers to win this game against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Flyers have lost 4 games in a row now and I think this is the perfect spot for them to break their bad run. They have been thrashed in 3 games in a row, losing by 3+ goals in all of those games but I expect them to respond with a much better performance in this game. This is a big revenge game for the Flyers since they lost in OT to the Sharks just over a week ago and that loss was the 1st loss that started the losing streak they are on now. They were in San Jose for that game but I think they are going to get up for this game and get their revenge here at home. The Sharks have not looked great this year, they started the year off playing great but they have regressed lately and near the bottom of the division where they should be. They are coming off a tight win over the Sabres in their most recent game but they had lost their 2 games before that one and they did not look good in those games. They lost 6-2 to the Red Wings who are not a good team and they lost 8-5 to the Penguins who aren't a bad team but they should not be giving up 8 goals in a single game. Even in their game before beating the Flyers just over a week ago, the Sharks had to take the Coyotes, who are the worst team in the league, to a shootout just to win and they won that game 8-7 which means they gave up 7 goals to a terrible Coyotes team. The Sharks have looked terrible on defense and with their goalkeeping and I think the Flyers will be able to break out of their scoring drought on them. I expect the Flyers to be extra motivated to get their revenge here and break their run of losses. I like the Flyers to bounce back after a few bad losses and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Flyers. | |||||||
01-06-22 | Sharks -125 v. Sabres | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection San Jose Sharks. I like the San Jose Sharks to win this game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. The Sharks have hit a bit of a rough patch losing 2 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible in those games. They lost 8-5 to the Penguins in 1 of those games but still scored 5 goals on them, and they lost 6-2 to the Red Wings in their most recent game which is probably burning them still. I think they are going to bounce back after a loss like that since they are a lot better than the Sabres this year. The Sharks are managing to stay above .500 this year while the Sabres are way below and they haven't looked good in a lot of games this year. The Sharks are also scoring goals still, they only scored 2 goals on the Red Wings but they had scored 16 goals total in the 3 games before that one. The Sabres have lost 4 games in a row now and they haven't won a game since before the Christmas break. They have also given up 4 goals in 3 games in a row. The Sabres have also had a few of their games postponed lately so they haven't played a game since January 1st and I expect them to come out a bit sluggish and slow in this game. The Sharks have been playing games consistently at the moment and even though they haven't been winning a lot lately, they haven't been playing bad either and they are at least staying warmed up and in their groove. I think the Sharks are going to take advantage of the Sabres in this game and use it as a bounce back after a bad loss in their previous game. I like the Sharks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Sharks. | |||||||
01-05-22 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Leafs UNDER. I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs Toronto Maple Leafs game on Wednesday. The Oilers have not been scoring goals since the beginning of the new year, they have played in 2 games in January and both of those games went under with exactly 5 goals total in each of those. The Oilers have not scored 3+ goals in those 2 games either and they have only scored 3+ goals in 1 of their 4 games since coming back from the Christmas break. They also haven't won a game since before the break and they haven't really looked good in their games lately. Connor McDavid tested positive for covid yesterday too so he will not be playing in this game but he is not the only player, there are a few other key players on the Oilers offense who will not be available for this game and I don't think that is going to be the last either now that covid has hit there team it will probably run through a few of their players. The Leafs are pretty healthy for this game, the only player that is banged up is Matthews and he may not play but even if he does I don't think he will be contributing a lot of offense here. The Leafs have only played 1 game since December 14th and that was a 6-0 rout of the Senators on January 1st. Their offense looked great in that game but the Sens are not a great team and I expect them to have more trouble scoring on the Oilers here. I also think they are going to be a little rusty and sluggish after not really playing a game for over 2 weeks and then just jumping back in with 1 game 4 days ago. Their defense has looked great too and they have only given up 1 goal in their 2 most recent games. With the Oilers missing a lot of key forwards here I expect them to play better defense since the Leafs are a strong offensive team. The Leafs have also been great on defense lately and I don't think the Oilers will score much on them with their offense already underperforming lately and will now be missing players that they had in those games. I think this is going to be a low scoring game so I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 3-0 Leafs. | |||||||
01-03-22 | Oilers v. Rangers OVER 6 | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Rangers OVER. I am on the over in the Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers game on Monday. The Oilers only had 5 goals scored in their most recent game but there has been 6+ goals in their 5 games in a row before that one. The Oilers have scored 2+ goals in 5 games in a row but they have also 5 goals themselves in 3 of those games. Their defense and their goaltending has looked shaky in their games lately though. They have given up 3+ goals in 4 games in a row and I think that is going to continue in this game. The Rangers have also been playing in some high scoring games lately. There has been 7+ goals in 2 of their previous 3 games and 5+ goals in 5 of their previous 6 games. The Rangers just scored 4 goals in their most recent game and I think they will be able to get by this Oilers defense that has not looked great at times in their games lately. The Ranger have also scored 4 goals in both of their 2 most recent games and have 3+ goals in 3 games in a row. I think that the Rangers will be able to score on the Oilers here and they will likely keep up with the way their offense has been rolling and score another 3+ goals in this game. The Oilers have not looked good on defense lately but their offense can still score a lot of goals and I think they are going to score a lot in this game too. I think the Rangers will probably take a lead early and the Oilers will be fighting back the whole game trying to score goals to keep tying the game up. There should be a ton of goals in this game with the 2 strong offenses and defenses that have not been at their best. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Rangers. | |||||||
01-02-22 | Flames -162 v. Blackhawks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames. I like the Calgary Flames to beat the Chicago Blackhawks in this game on Sunday. The Flames had lost 4 games in a row going into the break but they have come out of the break playing great with a 6-4 win over the Kraken in their 1st game back. They scored 6 goals in that game and their offense looked really good. The Blackhawks have not been having a good year and they are 1 of the worst teams in the league by far. They had lost 2 games in a row going into the break and they came out of the break losing 6-1 to the Predators in their 1st game back yesterday. The Blackhawks have given up 3+ goals in 5 games in a row and their defense has just looked terrible. I think that the Flames are going to score a lot in this game with the way their offense has been playing and the way the Chicago defense has been. The Flames are really good and are 1 of the best teams in the West right now. I think they are going to win this game by a lot, they are the better team and they are starting to get on a roll again while the Blackhawks are in their usual slump. I like the Flames to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Flames. | |||||||
01-01-22 | Oilers v. Islanders OVER 5.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Islanders OVER. I am on the under in the Edmonton Oilers vs New York Islanders game on Saturday. The Oilers have played in 2 games since coming back from the NHL's break and both of those games were high scoring games with 6+ goals in them. The Oilers even gave up 4+ goals in both of those games and did not look great on defense in either. Even going back to before the break, the Oilers have had 6+ goals in 5 games in a row. They just played the day before in New Jersey and lost that game 6-5. That was an afternoon game and their defense did not look good in that game playing that early and they will be playing around the same time today. They are also on a B2B so they will likely be starting their backup goalie to give Smith some rest. The Islanders have had a terrible year as they have been hit by covid hard and had to play through a lot of those games but they have looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 of their previous 3 games and putting up 3+ goals in all of those games. I think the Islanders are going to continue to play well here at home and I expect the Oilers to let in a lot of goals here since their defense hasn't looked great lately. The Oilers still have that potent offense though so they are not just going to get shut out in this game. I think there's going to be a lot of goals here so I like this game to go over. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Islanders. | |||||||
12-31-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 135 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights -1.5. I like the Vegas Golden Knights on the puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Friday. The Golden Knights looked good leading up to the break that the NHL took with just 1 loss in their previous 7 games. Their 1st game back from the break was against the Kings on Tuesday and they won that game 6-3, not only winning by -1.5 but also scoring 6 goals with a strong offensive performance in that game. That has been a common them for them all year and they have scored 3+ goals in 12 games in a row now. I think that they will be able to outscore the Ducks here and I expect the Golden Knights to kick it into gear now that the new year is basically here and they have taken over the top spot in their division. The Ducks are right behind them in 2nd place by 1 point so I expect the Knights to put the Ducks in their place here and give themselves some room in 1st place. The Ducks have lost 2 games in a row but they have only played 1 game since coming back from the break, that game was a loss in OT to the Canucks. The Ducks were unable to score a lot in that game with just 1 goal and I expect that scoring trouble to carry over into this game. Vegas has been a very high scoring team all year and they average over 3 goals per game. I think the Knights are the better team here and after a slow start to their year, they have finally worked their way back to 1st place and I expect them to try really hard to keep it. I think the Knights are going to outscore the Ducks here by a lot so I like the Golden Knights on the puckline in this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Golden Knights. | |||||||
12-29-21 | Oilers v. Blues OVER 6.5 | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oilers/Blues OVER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). This is obviously a very high number, but not nearly high enough in my estmation. The Oilers average 3.41 GPG, which is 6th in the league, but the problem for them has been on the defensive side, where they concede a poor 3.10 GPG, which is ranked 21st. St. Louis averages 3.35 GPG, which is ranked seventh, and it allows 2.68 GPG which is ranked tenth. Both have been superb on the power play though, as St. Louis converts on 29.5 percent of it chances (3rd), while Edmonton converts on 31.9 percent of its (ranked 1st.) Loo for these two teams to push the pace and for this total to eclipse the posted number easily! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-28-21 | Canadiens +1.5 v. Lightning | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Habs puckline (10* GAME OF WEEK). Are the Lightning the better team in this matchup? They are for sure. Will the Montreal Canadiens roll over? They certainly won't. It's a rematch of last year's Finals and I think this game will be decided late, or even in extra time. Tampa won its final three games before the break, but with a contest at rival Florida up next on Thursday, this sets up as a classic "look-ahead" spot. Montreal on the other hand broke a 7-game slide before Christmas by beating Philadelphia 3-2 in a shootout. The Habs won't be in the playoffs, but they'll be out to make adjustments in the 2nd half of the season. Expect that to happen tonight. T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Montreal. | |||||||
12-16-21 | Canucks +127 v. Sharks | 5-2 | Win | 127 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the San Jose Sharks in this game on Thursday. The Canucks are very hot at the moment and they have won 5 games in a row. They have looked really good in their games and they haven't lost a game since hiring their new coach. They are playing 1 road game here after a long home stand but then they are going back home after this game, they have won 2 road games in a row. They have 6 wins in their previous 8 games but their defense and goalkeeping has been fantastic in those games and is a big reason as to why they have been winning so many games. They gave up 3 goals in their most recent game but Halak was the starting goalie so Demko will likely be back in net for this game and he has looked great all season, I expect him to play another great game here. The Canucks have a very fast and young team but now that they have the right coach in place they should start to excel and I expect to see more results from them as the season goes on because they will only get better in each game. The Sharks started the year as 1 of the best teams in the league for a few games but they have not looked as good lately and have been a very up and down team. They have 2 losses in their previous 3 games and I think they have another loss coming their way here. Scoring has been an issue for them in those games lately, they haven't scored more than 2 goals in their previous 3 games. That is going to be a problem here since the Canucks are playing very well and their goalie is playing even better. I think the Canucks are going to have another great game here and I think that the Sharks' scoring troubles is going to extend into this game too. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-15-21 | Rangers -1.5 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5. I like the New York Rangers -1.5 against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Rangers have lost 2 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have lost 3 of their previous 4 games but 2 of those losses were against the Avalanche who are starting to look really good now and the other was against the Predators which was a close 1-0 loss. They were on a big run before they started to lose those games and I expect them to get back on a run here since they are in the conversation as 1 of the best teams in the league this year. I don't think they could ask for a better game to bounce back in either since they're playing the Coyotes and the Coyotes are the worst team in the league and have the least number of wins. The Coyotes have lost 5 games in a row and all of those losses were by 2+ goals. They also only scored 1 goal in 3 of those 5 losses and really their goalie is the only person on the team who cane even give them a chance at winning. Even if he plays on his head in this game, the Rangers like to score goals and after a few bad games now they get a bottom feeding team in front of them, they are going to score some goals here and get right. I like the Rangers to win this game on the puckline here. T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Rangers. | |||||||
12-14-21 | Blue Jackets v. Canucks -143 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 47 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks. I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Tuesday. The Canucks have started to get hot lately and have gone on a bit of a run winning 4 games in a row and they only have 1 loss in their previous 7 games. This game is going to conclude a 6 game home stand that they are on but they have looked great in those games. They lost the 1st game of that stand but won 4 in a row after that and their defense and goalkeeping has looked great. During this 4 game run of wins, they have recorded 1 shutout and they have given up more than 1 goal in just 1 of those games. I think that they are going to keep up that great play here and win this game with their defense and a lot of help from Demko. Demko had a very good year for them last year and after a rough start this year, he is starting to look like that great form he was in last year again. The Blue Jackets just edged out an OT win in Seattle in their most recent game but they have looked like a huge mess in their games lately. They have won just 2 of their previous 8 games and the last time these 2 met was in Columbus at the end of November and the Blue Jackets won that game 4-2. Now the tables have turned for this game, the Canucks will be on their home ice and now they are playing great lately while the Blue Jackets have struggled to win games since their last meeting with the Canucks, only picking up 2 wins since then. The Blue Jackets have also looked terrible on defense and have given up 4+ goals in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think this Blue Jackets team is a mess at the moment and the Canucks have been hot lately. I like the Canucks to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-10-21 | Penguins v. Capitals UNDER 6 | 4-2 | Push | 0 | 14 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Penguins/Capitals UNDER. I am on the under in the Pittsburgh vs Washington Capitals game on Friday. The Penguins haven't played all week with their most recent game being played on Monday earlier this week. The Penguins are an older team with their players and they play better when their games are close together or when they are on B2B's because the muscles are still warm for them and they can just continue rolling as opposed to being off a few days, now they have cooled off and will be in more pain from as they will feel the soreness from their previous games. I think that they are going to get off to a slow start in this game and I don't expect them to score a lot of goals here. I think they are going to come out a bit sluggish but these 2 teams hate each other so the Penguins will still try to play a more physical game and try to slow things down on the ice with some good defense. The Capitals also haven't played since Monday and I expect them to get off to a slow start in this game too. I think this is going to be a very physical game with a lot of hitting and fighting in it. I expect both teams to start out slow here and I don't really expect there to be a very fast paced game either. I don't think there will be a lot of goals here so I like this game to go under. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Capitals. | |||||||
12-09-21 | Hurricanes +115 v. Flames | Top | 2-1 | Win | 115 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to beat the Calgary Flames in this game on Thursday. The Hurricanes have looked much better lately and have started to heat up again in their games winning 2 in a row. Both of those wins were impressive wins too as they only gave up 2 goals in each game and scored 10 goals total between the 2 games winning both by 2+ goals. The Hurricanes have actually looked good on the road too winning 2 of their previous 3 road games and winning both by 2+ goals and scored 4+ in both. The Flames looked really good in their games up to last week but they have lost 2 games in a row and I think they are entering a bit of a slump here. They just came back from a 4 game road trip too and I think that they are going to come out flat in this 1st game back at home from that trip. Their defense and goalkeeping has been bad in their games lately. They have given up 11 goals in their 3 most recent games giving up almost 4 goals in every one of those games. They did give up 3+ goals in all 3 of them too. I think that this is going to be a bad spot for the Flames to win here and I like the way the Hurricanes have been playing lately with their scoring and their defending. The Flames have started to cool off lately and the Hurricanes have been heating up in their previous games after just breaking out of their mini slump. I think the Hurricanes are going to get after them in this game, I like the Hurricanes to win this one. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
12-08-21 | Stars v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stars/Knights OVER. I like the over in the Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights game on Wednesday. The Stars have had 6/7 of their previous games with exactly 5 total goals in them. All of these games have stayed under but the Stars have been putting a lot of pucks in the net during this time. The Stars have put in 3+ goals in 7 games in a row and they have been doing that in 12/14 of their previous games. The opposing teams that they have been facing haven't been scoring goals on them so the games are staying under but the Golden Knights have some good offensive players and I don't think that the Stars are going to be keeping them out of the net here. Vegas has been going over in their games lately with 4 of their previous 6 games shooting over this posted total. They have scored 3+ goals in 3 games in a row but they have actually averaged 5 gpg during that time. I don't really think the Golden Knights can be involved in a low scoring game. They have played in 24 games this year and 23 of those games has had 1 team score at least 3 goals in the game. If it's not Vegas scoring the goals then it's the other team scoring on them but even then, the Knights are always good for at least 2 goals in a game themselves. These are 2 teams that love to score goals in their games, the Stars have been scoring a lot in their games lately and the Knights have been scoring a lot too but also letting in a lot of goals in their games. This game just has a recipe for a high scoring one. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-4 Golden Knights. | |||||||
12-07-21 | Hurricanes -102 v. Jets | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Carolina Hurricanes to win against the Winnipeg Jets in this game on Tuesday. The Hurricanes were one of the best teams in the league at the beginning of the year but they have been slipping down the standings lately after going into a slump. They had lost 3 games in a row and 5/6 games before breaking out of that slump with a great 6-2 performance in their win over the Sabres in their most recent game. The Hurricanes are a very strong team this year and I expect them to get back on track after that get right game for them. Now that they have the taste of winning in their mouths again I think they can come away with the win here over the Jets. The Jets have looked pretty good in their previous 2 games but they are also coming out of a recent slump just like the Hurricanes. The Jets have scored 14 goals in their previous 2 games but I think that they are going to be burned out here and aren't really going to find the net that much in this game. They just won a tough game against the very hot Leafs and I think that game must have taken a lot of effort and energy out of them considering they destroyed the Leafs 6-3 in that game. I don't think the Jets can keep up the rate they have been scoring goals lately and they are bound to have a lull game. I think this is that game and I expect the Hurricanes to continue rolling again now that they are back to winning ways. I like the Hurricanes to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Hurricanes. | |||||||
12-06-21 | Kings v. Canucks UNDER 5.5 | 0-4 | Win | 109 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kings/Canucks UNDER. I am on the under in the LA Kings vs Vancouver Canucks game on Monday. The Kings have not looked good in a lot of their games lately. They have also seen 6+ goals in 4 of their previous 5 games but I think that run of high scoring games is going to end here. Neither of these teams have looked good to start the year. The Kings have looked better on defense in their previous 2 games though, they lost 3-2 to the Flames who are a very good team and currently leading the West, and they won 5-1 in their most recent game against the Oilers who are also a very good team. Both of those teams score a lot of goals compared to the Canucks so I think the Kings are going to have a much easier time keeping the Canucks out of the net here since the Kings haven't been terrible in their games lately. The Canucks have also been really bad this year. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but had lost 4 games in a row right before their 2 wins. They only scored 1 goal in their most recent game too, a 4-1 loss at home to the Penguins. The Canucks do not score a lot of goals and have scored 2 goals or less in 6 of their previous 7 games. I think that they are going to continue to struggle finding the back of the net against the Kings who have been better lately. I also think that the Canucks are going to come with a much better defensive effort in this game. They haven't been playing well lately and giving up a lot of goals, I expect them to give their fans something to cheer about and play much better on defense to keep the Kings out of their net here. The Kings are on a B2B and should be a bit tired so I think the Canucks can take advantage of that and keep them out of the net too. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Canucks. | |||||||
12-05-21 | Lightning v. Flyers OVER 5.5 | 7-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Flyers OVER. I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs Philadelphia Flyers game on Sunday. The Lightning have been back to their high scoring ways lately and their offense has looked really good in those games. They have put up 3+ goals in 3 games in a row and also in 10 of their previous 11 games. Their goalkeeping and defense has looked a bit shaky though. They have given up 2+ goals in 4 games in a row. The Lightning are playing well lately and they are starting to roll again. I think that they are going to score a lot of goals in this game but I also think that the Flyers are going to find the back of the net too. The Flyers have looked really bad lately, losing 7 games in a row and they just got back from a road trip but I think that this is a good spot for them to try and bounce back with some goals and play a much better game. Their defense and their goalkeeping has also been very bad lately though. They have given up 4+ goals in 3 games in a row and also in 6 of their previous 7 games. I expect the Flyers to play a bit better here and score some goals knowing that their defense has been bad and they are facing a very strong scoring team. I think that the Lightning are going to be able to put a lot of pucks in the net on the Flyers but I also think that the Flyers can penetrate the Lightning's net since they haven't been that great on defense either. I think this is going to be a very high scoring game and I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Lightning. | |||||||
12-02-21 | Blue Jackets v. Stars OVER 5.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Blue Jackets/Stars OVER. I am on the over in the Columbus Blue Jackets vs Dallas Stars game on Thursday. The Jackets have lost 2 games in a row and they have given up 6 goals in each of those games, only scoring 3 goals in 1 of those games. Their defense and their goalkeeping has not looked good but they just got shut out in their most recent game so I think that they are going to come and play extra hard in this game after going scoreless in their most recent game. The Jackets were playing well before they hit this losing skid though. They had scored 3+ goals in each of the 3 games in a row before losing their previous 2. I think that the Jackets are going to play hard here and try to score some goals quickly but their defensive end has looked shaky as of late and I think that they are going to give up some goals too. The Stars have been very hot at the moment and they have won 5 games in a row. They have scored 3+ goals in each of those games and that has been a common theme for them in more than half of their games this year. The Stars just put up a 4-1 score on the Hurricanes who are 1 of the top teams in the league. They will find ways to score against the Jackets in this game with the way they have been playing on the defensive end. The Jackets can score goals and so can the Stars which is why I think this is going to be a high scoring game. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Stars. | |||||||
12-01-21 | Avalanche v. Maple Leafs -120 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
T.M Selection: Toronto Maple Leafs. I like the Toronto Maple Leafs to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Leafs have looked great in their games lately and they are destroying teams they face at every turn. They have won 4 games in a row but they also have just 1 loss in their previous 10 games. They have been scoring a lot of goals and they haven't been giving up many either during this time. They have scored 3+ goals in 4 games in a row and they have also given up 2+ goals just 1 time in those games. The Avalanche have also looked great lately with just 1 loss in their previous 8 games. Their offense is scoring a lot in those games but their goalkeeping hasn't been the greatest. They have not given up less than 2 goals in 7 games in a row. Both teams are playing great but I think that the Leafs have been the better team as of late and I expect them to get the win in this game. Both teams can score goals but I think that this game is going to come down to defense and the goalkeeping and that advantage goes to the Leafs here. I think they will be able to shut down the Avalanche in this game so I like the Leafs to win this game. T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Leafs. | |||||||
11-30-21 | Lightning v. Blues UNDER 5.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Lightning/Blues UNDER. I am on the under in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues game on Tuesday. The Lightning have had some good goaltending in their games lately. They just lost 4-2 to the Wild where Vasilevskiy gave up 3 goals but he has been really good in their other games lately, recording B2B shutouts in the 2 games previous to that loss. Their scoring has started to decrease a little though, in their previous 3 games they have scored 4 goals, 3 goals, and now 2 goals in their most recent game. The Blues have been the complete opposite lately, they have seen 5+ goals in 14 games in a row but I think that they are due for a low scoring game here. They didn't really face any strong teams during that time though, so the scores were a little higher than if they were playing some top hockey teams. The Lightning are a very good team and they have a great goalie too, they aren't going to let the Blues skate all over them and score relentlessly. The Blues also have a good defense though, and I think that the Lightning are going to struggle to score here. With 2 good teams doesn't just come good offense, there is also good defense and good goalkeeping so I expect this game to be more like a chess match where each team is just waiting for their moment to pounce and score what might be the winning goal. I like this game to stay under the posted total. T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blues. |
