NHL PLAYOFF GAME OF THE WEEK

10* CHICAGO (55) over St. Louis
We have the ULTIMATE VALUE...the Stanley Cup Champions as an underdog!  Granted they are on the road in game #1 of the playoffs vs. the recycled Blues.  Statistically, the Blues brought a better record into the playoffs last season, but the Blackhawks went on to become CHAMPS!  Ditto here, as far their records (107 vs. 103) and now the Blues play with "nothing" to lose.  Down the stretch the Blues went 13-4 with a solid 7-1 record against playoff units, taking out the Blackhawks twice.  Consequently, they opened -1.15-1.20 favorite on the Strip.  Chicago making lineup adjustments late in the season, finished on a negative 8-10 run, 2-8 versus playoff types.  Remember, though, the STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS were under sold last season going into the post season and have now won 8-of-11 playoff series. Granted the home team in this series is 28-12, but STL is 2-8 in the Quarterfinal round of the playoffs.  And, Chicago 8-2 in the Quarterfinal round.  Also, the Blackhawks are a PERFECT 4-0 after the current opponent allowed 5 or more goals in their last game. No matter, the MAJOR EDGE in this encounter is DOUBLE REVENGE. GO CHAMPS!

5* MINNESOTA over Ottawa

Granted the Senators won last night in Winnipeg, but now they travel facing a unit looking for recent revenge.  The Wild comes in 2-9 vs. the Senators of late, but they possess a bundle of contradictions here.  Ottawa is 1-5 off a win and 1-5 with no rest.  Minnesota ices tonight 6-0 in their last six outings overall and 4-0 with a day off.  Huge grudge match for the Wild, so look for a huge win tonight!

4* San Jose over Vancouver

Would normally not test this road set, especially with the "rough" pricing break out this morning.  However, the Sharks dropped their last meeting 4-2 on their home ice where they normally control the issue.   On the road in the series, SJ is 10-1 and 7-0 overall vs. a home unit with under

Play on:  4* ANAHEIM over Edmonton

Rookie goalie Brossoit still trying to secure first NHL win, this time vs. the Ducks who finalize a road trip this evening in Canada.  No doubt Anaheim has secured a position in the playoffs, and might be a little flat early on Monday night, despite the day off.  Still, must respect their legend, while trying to break-even on the year in road sets.   The Ducks show 3-9 at home, 1-6 vs. a losing road unit?   Further, they are a horrid 12-42 vs. the Pacific.   Anaheim 21-5 vs. the West and 11-3 against losing units overall.

03/26 02:05 PM EST   NHL   (53) 5* PITTSBURGH over Detroit  

Pittsburgh: NHL Game of the Week

When they last met on this ice earlier the Pens won 5-2, and now have won back-to-back games in the series, 5-of-7.  Further, Pittsburgh comes into action winning 4 straight off a loss of +3 goals or more.  To add support the Pens are running RED HOT with just a day off, exactly 4-0 before this tilt with Detroit.  The overall handicap has the Pens winning 5-2.  Good Luck.

3* St. Louis (57) over Calgary

Understand there are key injuries on both sides, but prefer the Blues who are red hot winning 6 straight coming into action vs. Calgary.  Further, any time the road unit possesses a better record visiting (20-9) than the opposition's home mark (18-15), it's a game that we will always consider. Don't forget forward Paul Stastny has a three game streak going with 20 goals and 52 points in 45 games. Despite losing last time, the Flames do look much better than in February, but can't see them overturning the Blues momentum.  Good Luck! 

5* DALLAS OVER the total of 5-1/2

NHL TOTAL CALL

Both units viable for a HIGH scoring game....WP with 168/175 vs Dallas 164/164.  And with the OVER red hot in the series covering 5 straight in Canada...We agree and look to go HIGH.  Good Luck.

BDS...

4* Montreal over Buffalo

Major season revenge game for the Canadians who show off a road win vs. TB, while Buffalo comes home after four straight losses and a blowout by the Flyers last night.  Now Buffalo has a huge deficit to overcome this evening 15-50 with no rest.  With the Canadians improving, we'll back the visitor as a Best Bet!

4* BOSTON over Jets

The Bruins seem to be in a letdown set on this trip, but numbers shows us a little different picture.  Boston has won 4 straight games on the road, while going an incredible 12-4 as an underdog.  Further the Bruins scoring (2.89) has improved, with penalty killing abilities exceeding the opposition.  Boston has a more effective PP% probability 24.32 vs. 16.67 vs. Jets, this is an important angle in road choices.  Winnipeg when booked short are 10-17,  "expected" to cash tonight based on the overnight consensus...VALUE BOSTON!  And, the Jets are basically a .500 unit at home, not that impressed.  With Boston a monster 76-36 vs.

5* VANCOUVER/Arizona UNDER 5-1/2

This two inconsistent units do battle out west as they sit tied w/54 points in the division. Vancouver is 4-6, 1-4 L5.  Arizona shows 2-8, 0-4 L4.  In series the last five face-offs, the total goals scored have been 5 or less, and the reason you see the prohibitive number (125).  Still, Vancouver is a more disciplined unit and will use Miller tonight...8-1 w/1.65 goals against record vs. Arizona.  Normally, Arizona comes high vs. the West 4-0 OVER, but the penalty killing and goal tending again favor the visitor.  Remember the series has shot UNDER 8-of-9 in Arizona, while Vancouver is 5-0-2 UNDER vs. the West,

63
5* Washington over Nashville
Major revenge for the Caps (38-9-3) this evening as they show 0-3 in their most recent trips to the Bridgestone.  Further, home standing Nashville (25-20-7) has shown difficulty after a big scoring outing.  Washington although playing well are 0-17 in power plays of late, so we look for a change in venue here.  In addition, they travel knowing they have won 5 straight vs. winning home units.  Aspiring Nashville come 3-14 after scoring 5+ goals in their last game.

5* (53/54) Columbus/NY Islanders UNDER 5-1/2 @ 7:05 Eastern

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK….BDS

STEPHEN DIAMOND

The Islanders coming in off a 4-0 blitz vs. the Philly Flyers and will be looking to crunch the lesser Blue Jackets, and the line indicators tell us even more SU.  Still, prefer to go UNDER here as NY has not played that well L10, 4-6 SU.  In their last 4/5 ice battles they have averaged slightly over a goal a game?  And, they show 23-15 under overall this season.  Plus, NYI is 21-8 UNDER off a loss by 3+ goals.  With Columbus scoring issues, and while facing off @ 6-1-1 UNDER off a two-day rest period. LOW!

5* Montreal/NYR Under the total of 5

Two giants doing battle before the holiday with some clear series data.  Montreal 10-4-1 vs. Rangers 16-3-1 scope playing at the Garden...recent total scores in the series have been 5 pucks or less in 8-of-the-last 9.  The only OVER came in the playoffs last season after BB OT games....7-4.  I give more value to NYR total markers this season since the are at home.

5* MONTREAL UNDER the total of 5-1/2

NHL TOTAL OF THE DAY

SD (BRAD DIAMOND SPORTS)...Analysis to follow Thursday

11/17/15

Play on: 10* LA Kings (53) over Philadelphia @ 7:00 Eastern

NHL TOP PLAY ALERT

Stephen Diamond (Brad Diamond Sports)

The Flyers have documented scoring issues this season, but clearly they have been gallant in their efforts, especially at home of which I have attended the majority of games. The 6-8-3 mark is locked into their #29 scoring position and the lackluster GA. LA we know is looking good in the early season with most games on the schedule at home. With the upcoming run versus some quality teams, this is a must win to set the tone for the road trip.  LA is ranked #3 in GA with a 2.1 mark. while the road team has been quite good of late in series 7-1 to be candid...LA 4-1.

5* LA Kings over San Jose

With all the positive changes made by the Kings since last season look for a major improve in their opener with the Sharks in this home setting. Go Live and cash our GAME OF THE DAY!
