10* over 6

Vegas has been scoring goals as well as allowing them. Their early totals were set at 5.5 but now the last two are at 6. I hope to see 7 or more goals on Thursday.

10* over 6

We won with over 5.5 last night in the NYI vs. Vegas game and there were 9 goals. I hope to see 7 or more tonight as Vegas can score as well as allow goals.

10* over 5.5

Vegas has been a nice surprise but they have played mostly home games. They have reached 7, 6, 5, 9, 4, 9 and 7 goals in their last 7 games while NY has totaled 8, 10, 8, 8 and 7. I do worry that Vegas may struggle on the road but I like our chances to get 6 goals and win with over 5.5 on Monday night.

Thanks and GL....

10* Chicago -1.5 (+180)

Vegas is off to a 6-1 start but are down to their third string goalie and Chicago is led by Patrick Kane and has won several Stanley Cups.

Chicago wins 4-2.

10* under 6

I think we see 5 goals on Monday night.

10* Chicago

Goalie Corey Crawford has played well this year. These teams are evenly match but Chicago has won multiple Stanley Cups and solid on offense and defense.

Chicago wins 3-2.

10* Vegas -102

Vegas is off to a nice start at 4-1 while Buffalo just won 3-1 at Anaheim but is playing their 4th straight road game. I like Vegas to win by a goal.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score that stays under the total in this NHL game set for Sunday night.

10* over 5.5

I like the over on Thursday night. I think we see 6 goals when Dallas and Nashville meet in NHL action.

5* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score that stays under in this late game set for Wednesday night.

10* Predators-135

I think we see Pekka Rinne and the Nashville Predators bounce back at home and win, then force a game 7 in Pittsburgh.

Nashville has won the first two games at home.

Preds win 3-2.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 final so take the under on Thursday.

10* Nashville -129

The Predators are down 2-0 and get to play at home. I think they score first and win 3-2 on Saturday.

Pittsburgh 2

Nashville 3

10* Nashville +133

I expect Nashville to bounce back and win game two. They led 1-0 but the goal was disallowed on Monday. 

10* under 5.5

Pittsburgh has seen the under profit 10 of its last 11 Stanley Cup games. The Pens just played a tough 7 game series with Ottawa and the Senators showed that good defense can keep a team close vs. Pittsburgh. I hope to see a 3-2 score that stays under.

10* Pens -1.5 (+160)

Pittsburgh won an earlier home game by 7-0. They are off a 2-1 loss at Ottawa and are the defending champions. I think we see the Penguins win by 2 goals, either 3-1 or 4-2.

10* Anaheim +127

Anaheim just lost at home and down 3-2 in games but won 3-2 in OT in the last game at Nashville. The Ducks were 22-17-9 on the road this year. I think we have nice value on the visitors in Game Six on Monday night.

Anaheim wins 3-2.

10* over 5

I think we see an over or a push (5 goals or more) in Saturday's game.

10* Pittsburgh -114

The Pens are down 2-1 in games and should bounce back after a bad loss in game three. Sidney Crosby and Malkin are great offensive players and goalie Fleury was removed after a poor start in the last game.

Pittsburgh 3

Ottawa 2

10* Nashville -149

Nashville has been great at home in the playoffs. They jumped ahead 2-0 in the last game but ended up losing. I think we see a blowout by the Predators in Game 3.

Anaheim 1

Nashville 4

10* Pittsburgh -1.5 (+155)

The Penguins lost game one at home and should bounce back. I expect to see a 3-1 or 4-2 type of win by the current Stanley Cup champions.

Nashville at Anaheim

10* Anaheim -114

The home team lost game one and don't want to go to Nashville down 2-0. The Ducks are the only division winner still in the playoffs and should bounce back vs. number 8 seed.

Nashville 2

Anaheim 3

10* Pittsburgh -113

Pitt is up 3-2 and playing at home. They are off a 4-3 loss. Sidney Crosby has been out a few games with a concussion. The Capitals have struggled beating the Pens in the playoffs.

Pittsburgh wins by a goal.

10* over 5

Sidney Crosby is out but both teams have firepower. We saw a 3-2 game last time.

10* under 5.5

I think we see a 3-2 score so take the under.

Washington vs. Pittsburgh

7:30pm Monday

#13/14

10* over 5.5

Pittsburgh played well in the first two games and are up 2-0 now at home. The Pens have played overs 48-22-11 at home and 6 overs in their last 6 on Monday. There have been 5 overs, 1 under and a push in the last 7 meetings and Washington has 9 overs, 3 unders and one push on the road in their last 13 away games. I think we see 6 goals on Monday.

10* Anaheim+115

Anaheim is on the road but lost the first two games of the series at home. They were 8-0 in the previous 8 games. I think Anaheim finds a way to win and not go down 3-0.

Anaheim 3

Edmonton 2

10* NYR -114

Ottawa won game one so I expect the New York Rangers to bounce back and tie the series.

Ottawa 2

NYR 3

10* St Louis -114

Most places do have this at -120. The Blues are at home and off a close loss in their building to Nashville. I expect St Louis to bounce back and win.

Nashville 2

St Louis 3

10* Pittsburgh +125

These two are fairly even. This match up is the like finals as the Penguins won the Stanley Cup last year and Washington is full of stars like Alex Ovechin.

Pitt wins 3-2.

10* Ottawa +150

These two teams are close to each other as we saw in the last game that went to double OT. Nice value on Ottawa at +150 since their goalie has been playing well.

Ottawa 3

Boston 2

10* Boston -115

I expect to see the Bruins bounce back and win on the road. They started out as the favorite even though they didn't have home ice advantage.

Boston 3

Ottawa 2

10* over 5

I think we see 6 goals on Wednesday. We get a push if it ends 3-2 or 4-1. We saw plenty of action/goals in the last game.

10* over 5.5

I think we see plenty of goals on Tuesday.

10* Ducks +111

Most places have this at +100 or close to it. Anaheim has won 5 of the last 6 in Calgary. I think we see a 3-2 win by the visitors.

Anaheim 3

Calgary 2

10* Toronto +205

The first game went into overtime before the Capitals ended up winning. I think there is value in taking the big underdog in Game Two.

Toronto 3

Washington 2

10* Anaheim-155

The Ducks are 27-0 SU at home vs.Calgary and they play the important Game One of their playoff series on Thursday. I think we may see Calgary win by 2 goals (so -1.5 will have nice value) but taking -155.

Calgary 2

Anaheim 4

10* NYR +130

The Rangers were the best road team in the NHL this year. They did struggle down the stretch but play solid defense and have a nice goalie and worth a shot at +130.

Minnesota at Colorado

9pm

Colorado +160

Colorado is playing their last home game. They have won two in a row at home and recently lost at Minnesota. The Wild have wrapped up second place and have nothing to play for. Colorado did beat them 1-0 in their last meeting at home back in November. Nice value on Colorado at +160 to end the season with a win as they won't make the playoffs.

Ottawa at Minnesota

8pm

10* Ottawa +144

Minnesota is just 1-9 in their last 10 and lost 4 in a row. They will bring in goalie Stalock, who hasn't started an NHL game since February 16. Ottawa hasn't been playing well themselves but are 21-14-1 on the road. 

New Jersey at Pittsburgh

7pm

10* Pittsburgh -1.5 (+105)

Pittsburgh is off a 4-0 loss at Philadelphia and return home where they are 27-4-3. They beat NJ 5-2 and 4-1 in recent meetings. New Jersey is off a 6-2 win over the Flyers but had lost the previous 9 games. I hope to see a 3-1 or 4-2 win tonight by the Penguins.

10* under 6

I think we see a 3-2 game as goalie Billy Elliott has been hot and both teams are off 3-0 wins. Calgary has won the past two meetings and has a nice winning streak going. Take the under and let's hope the Pens struggle to score.

NHL

Nashville at LA

10:30pm

5* Nashville +130

LA has been off since last Saturday and is just 1-3 in their last 4. Nashville is 3-0-2 in their last 5 at LA and goalie Jonathan Quick is just 4-8-2 in his career vs. the Predators. Nice value on the underdog at +130 on Thursday night.

NYR at Florida

7:30pm

10* Rangers +115

New York won last night 1-0 in OT. They are 23-8 on the road and won 8 of 9 there. They are 4-1 their last 5 at Florida and 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. Florida is just 1-5 in their last 6 games. It does concern me that NY played last night and had to go to OT but nice value on the visitors.

NYR at Tampa Bay

10* NYR +104

The Rangers are 22-8 on the road and off a home loss of 4-1. New York has won the past two meetings in 2016 by 6-1 and3-2and won 3 of the last 4 at Tampa. Rangers win 3-2.

New York Rangers at Boston

10* NYR +127

The Rangers are 21-8 on the road and have won the two meetings this year by 5-2 scores. Boston is home and playing well recently but nice value with the Rangers at +127.

NHL
LA at Minnesota
Monday
10* LA Kings +135

Minnesota is just 5-4 in their last 9 home games and been off for 5 days and we have seen teams struggle with the mandatory 5 days off. LA is off a nice 4-1 win behind goalie Jonathan Quick, who was out with an injury. Quick is a future Hall Of Famer and has helped LA win two Stanley Cups. Nice value on LA at +135.

Edmonton at Florida

10* Edmonton +121

Edmonton has won the last 7 in Florida. They are 17-10-5 on the road and offa loss at Tampa Bay. Florida just won 5 in a row on the road and returns home. I think we see a close game with Edmonton winning 3-2.

Winnipeg vs. Montreal

2pm

10* over 5.5

The last 4 meetings have ended 7-4, 4-2, 5-1 and 5-2. Winnipeg has gone over in 9 of their last 10 games. Montreal is off a 4-0 loss and should bounce back with goals. The two games before the shutout produced 6 and 9 goals. I hope to see a 4-2 type of game on Saturday.

Vancouver at Pittsburgh

7pm

10* Pittsburgh -1.5 (+125)

Pittsburgh is 22-3-3 at home and off a 3-2 loss. They lost their last home game as well. Malkin is listed as probable to return for the Penguins and Sidney Crosby is going for his 1000th career point. Vancouver is just 8-17-3 on the road and is off a 4-2 win at Buffalo. 

We get the #2 NHL team vs. #28 in power ratings. I hope to see Pittsburgh win by 2 or more goals tonight.

5* Ottawa +140

The visitors are 9-8 on the road and won the last two times at St Louis by 3-2 scores. The Blues are off a road trip out west and return home where they are 2-3 in the last 5. Nice value on the Senators at +140.

Ottawa at NY Rangers

5* Ottawa +155

Ottawa is 9-6 on the road and has won the last two meetings with the Rangers by scores of 2-0 and 3-0. They have won 4 games in a row including wins at Chicago and the NY Islanders. Ottawa is 21-8 in their last 29 games at the NY Rangers and have won 2 of the last 3 there. 

The Rangers have lost their last two games, losing at home to Minnesota 7-4 and at Pittsburgh 7-2. 

The under is 32-10-9 in the last 51 meetings.

I think there is nice value on Ottawa at +155 on Tuesday.

NHL

LA at Pittsburgh

Friday

10* over 5.5 (+101)

Pittsburgh has played 12 overs in a row and faces the LA Kings at home on Friday. LA is without regular goalie Jonathan Quick. LA's last two on the road saw 9 goals at Buffalo and 7 at Arizona. The two meetings last year ended 3-2 and 5-3. Playing the over streak until it ends.

10* over 5.5

Pittsburgh is at home and has played 11 overs in a row. I am hoping to see the Pens score and Boston to add some goals. I hope for a 4-2 type of game.

10* Pittsburgh -1.5 (-105)

The Pens are the Stanley Cup champions and have played 10 overs in a row. I was looking at this game to go over 5.5 but think the better play is for taking Pittsburgh -1.5. Arizona is off a 4-1 win vs. Nashville but were 0-6 before that. It includes road losses of 4-0 at Chicago and 4-1 at CLB. 

Pittsburgh has won their last three at home by 3, 2 and 4 goals. 

Hopefully, we see a 4-2 type of game on Monday.

Edmonton at Pittsburgh

7pm

5* Edmonton +188

Edmonton is 9-3-1 and 5-1-1 on the road. They play Pittsburgh, who won last year's Stanley Cup, and they return from a west coast road trip. They just beat San Jose 5-0 and may have a letdown facing the Oilers. 

Edmonton won 3-2 in Pittsburgh last November. The Oliers are led by young superstar Connor McDavid. Nice value on Edmonton +188.

10* over 5.5

I think we see a 4-3 type of game on Tuesday night. Both teams are better on offense that defense and the goalies are average. All of their games have gone over so far in 2016.

10* under 5.5

10* Calgary -125

Edmonton won easily on Wednesday night at home and now they play in Calgary. I like the Flames on Friday night.

Edm 2

Calgary 3

Washington at Pittsburgh

10* Washington -103

I expect the Capitals to win tonight even though they  are on the road as they were eliminated by the Penguins last season and had 15 more points. Sidney Crosby is out for the home team and so is their top goalie, even though Marc Andrew Fleury is decent.

Wash 3

Pitt 2

10* LA +108

San Jose struggled at home last year. These two are rivals and LA is led by goalie Jonathan Quick.

LA wins 3-2.

10* San Jose -105

This has turned intoa nice series as San Jose won 4-2 on the road and can tie it up with a home win on Sunday.I expect another close one that ends 3-2.

10* San Jose

All the games have been close and won by the home team. I think we see another 3-2 game on Monday with San Jose winning in their building.

10* San Jose

The Sharks are down 2-0 in games with 2 close losses on the road and niow return home.The series is basically over if they go down 3-0 but a 2-1 series is interesting again. Goalie Martin Jones has been solid.

San Jose 3

Pitt 2

10* San Jose +120

I like the Sharks as they were great on the road this year and had chances to win game one that was 2-2 until the Pens scored with 3 minutes left.

San Jose 3

Pitt  2

San Jose at Pittsburgh

10* San Jose +137

San Jose was one of the best road teams in the NHL this year. They were around .500 at home and they have a solid goaltender who can make plays.

Pittsburgh has Crosby and Malkin as stars and goalie Murray has played well and Marc Andre Fluery even played solid minutes.

I think the value is on the underdog with nice value at +137.

10* St Louis +140

The Blues have their back to the wall as they are down 3-2 and on the road but they are 6-3 in their last 9 road games in the playoffs. San Jose is much better on the road and they were around .500 at home.

St L 3

SJ 2

Pittsburgh is down 3-2 after a home loss on Sunday. They led 2-0 and almost had another goal to jump ahead 3-0 but TB came back and won in OT. We had a winner on over 5.

I think Crosby and Malkin play well and the Pens win 3-2.

10* San Jose +113

The Sharks have been a solid road team all year but just around .500 at home.

San Jose 3

STL    2

10* St Louis +140

The teams are 1-1 and play in San Jose on Thursday and the Sharks were great on the road this year but close to .500 in the regular season. I think we see a 3-2 win by the visitors.

St Louis 3

San Jose 2

Thanks and GL........

10*over 5

We got 4 goals in the 1st period of game two on Monday and not a single one till overtime. I think it ends with at least 5 (3-2) but like our chances for an over at Tampa.

10* San Jose +120

Most places have San Jose in the +110 to +120 range. They lost game one at St Louis but are a solid road team.

San Jose at St Louis

#3/4

8pm Sunday

10* San Jose +119

San Jose was a great road team and won their two games at St Louis by 3-1 and 6-3 scores. They did lose at home 1-0 to the Blues. SJ was 31-11-4 on the road while St Louis is just 3-4 at home in the playoffs. San Jose was able to win 3 road games at LA vs. future Hall Of Fame goalie Jonathan Quick. Nice value on San Jose at +119.

NHL Friday

Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh

10* TB +150

Tampa won all 3 meetings this year. Pittsburgh is home and has been hot but nice value on the underdog.

10* over 5

I think we see a minimum of 5 goals for a push but like our chances for 6 or 7 goals.

over 5 

I think this ends with 5 or more goals. A 3-2 or 4-1 final nets a push and returns the money but I think we see 6 or 7 goals on Monday.

10* Washington -138

Down 3-1 in games the home team should prevail on Saturday.

Pitt 2

Wash 3

10* over 5

10* Nashville -111

Nashville is down 2-0 in games and now heads home for game 3 in a must win situation. San Jose has played well and were solid on the road but I think the Preds find a way to win.

Nash wins by one goal.

10* over 5

I think we see 6 goals in the NHL game between Tampa Bay and NYI in game three. Thet change venues and both can score quickly. I think it ends 4-2 so take the over.

Nashville at San Jose
Sunday
10* Nashville +140

Nashville just beat Anaheim in a 7 game series and won 3 of the 4 road games. They were above .500 on the road this year and won 2 of the 3 meetings in the regular season with the Sharks.. They lost Game One after being ahead 1-0 going into the 3rd period but were drained after their previous series. Nashville did not practice on Saturday so they could rest. San Jose was just 20-20-4 at home this year and had a great record on the road.

Nice value on Nashville +140.

10* Pittsburgh +113

Washington won game one in OT by 4-3. There is no travel involved so it won't tire out the visitors and we should see Malkin and Sidney Crosby do damage.

Pit 3

Wash 2

10* NYI +140

This is a value play on the underdog as they have won 5 of their last 6 on the road and took 2 of 3 from Tampa Bay this year. 

NYI 3

TB 2

10* Anaheim -115

The Ducks lost the first two games but have won the last three each by three goals. Goalie Frederickson is playing well as he has allowed just 3 goals in 3 games.

Anaheim wins 3-2.

10* LA 

The Kings are down 3-1 in games and all 4 have been decided by one goal. LA lost the first two at home and should be motivated with future Hall Of Fame goalie Jonathan Quick.

LA wins 3-2.

10* over 5

I think we see at leasy 5 goals in this game, which would give us a push. However, I think we see more that 5 goals. Take the over. 

NHL
Anaheim at Nashville
10* Anaheim -110

Anaheim is down 2-0 in the series after losing the first two at home by 3-2 scores and now head to Nashville for Game 3. The Ducks are 4-1 in their last 5 away from home and even won at Washington 2-0. Anaheim got off to a slow start in the regular season but bounced back. I expect Anaheim to find a way to win and avoid going down 3-0 in the series.

NHL
LA at San Jose
10* LA +108

San Jose won both games at Los Angeles by one goal. The Sharks were the best road team in the NHL this year but were just 18-20-3 at home. LA has future Hall Of Fame goalie Jonathan Quick and they Kings were about to win 2 of 3 at San Jose this year. LA has won several Stanley Cups with Quick at goalie and have a good chance to bounce back on Monday.

LA 3

SJ 2

10* over 5

These two went way over 5 in Game One. Both teams have solid goalies but seem to give up goals when they play. At worst we see a 3-2 push. Take over 5 goals.

Vancouver at Calgary
Friday
5* Vancouver +130

Vancouver lost three home games in a row by 5-2 and were booed heavily last night. They go to Calgary who has lost 4 of its last 5 at home. Vancouver has been decent on the road, winning 2-1 and 3-1 in its last two away from home and going 5-2 in their last 7 road games. Nice value on Vancouver at +130.

10* over 5 goals

The last 9 meetings have had 5 or more goals. At worst, we see a 3-2 or 4-1 push. Hopefully we see 6 goals or more. Nashville has combined to score 8, 8 and 9 in its last 3 while TB has tallied 6, 6 and 9 goals. I think they continue to score and we get 6 goals on Friday night.

NHL
Carolina at Calgary
9:30pm Wednesday
10* Carolina +100

Carolina was playing well before the All-Star break. They won 5-0 and 5-2 at home and seemed to pick up energy from the Carolina Panthers team that has now made it to the Super Bowl. They are 3-1 in their last 4 with only a loss to the NY Rangers and 3-1 in their last 4 on the road. Calgary is just 1-5 in their last 6 games and 1-3 in its last 4 at home. Let's hope Carolina can keep playing well after the break and play them 10* at +100 on Wednesday.

10* over 5.5

It does concern me that these two tend to play unders 15 of the last 22 at this venue but both have played overs lately as Washington has played games with 9, 6 and 7 goals in its last 3 while Boston has 6, 10, 4 and 9 inits last 4. I hope to see it end 4-2.

10* under 5.5

Philly has 5 overs and 12 unders this year. Their last 8 games have stayed 5 goals or less. Ottawa has been on the road for 3 games and each game was high scoring. Ottawa beat the Flyers 4-0 in their last meeting. I hope to see a 3-2 or 4-1 game that stays under.

10* San Jose -113

The San Jose Sharks started 4-0 but have lost their last two games by 6-3 and 4-0. Now they return home to face Los Angeles, who they beat 5-1 in LA in their opener. They outshot the Kings 32-20. LA is 2-3 but have played all five games at home. They have won their last two. Boith have been off for two days. San Jose played one home game earlier and beat Anaheim 2-0 behind goalie Martin Jones. LA is 0-5 in their last 5 road games and 17-36 in the last 53 in San Jose and the home team is 27-8 in the last 35 meetings. LA does possess goalie Jonathan Quick, who can get hot, especially in the playoffs, and has helped the Kings win Stanley Cups in the past. However, I think we see San Jose play well at home after two bad losses on the road.

LA 2

San Jose 3

10* San Jose -113

10* under 5.5 

I think we see a 3-2 final on opening night.

10* under 5.5

The last two games have had totals of 5 but now we get a 5.5. I think we see a 3-2 game that stays under as both Crawford and the two TB goalies have been solid.

5* Chicago

The Blackhawks led 2-1 but ended up losing Game Three at home. They need to win so they don't fall behiind 3-1 and have to go play in Tampa Bay for Game Five.

TB 2

Chi 3

10* Chicago -155

10* Chicago -149

I think Chicago bounces back after losing 4-3 in Game two. They have won their last 2 home playoff games and have bounced back after road losses and then playing in their building. Tampa Bay replaced goalie Ben Bishop with a backup without disclosing why. Chicago has been getting solid goaltending from Corey Crawford but he did allow some soft goals in the Game Two loss. 

Patrick Kane was injured during the season and needs to play well. Chicago rookie C Teuvo Teravainen has collected four goals and five assists in 14 playoff games and should be counted on to score a goal.

I think we see a 3-2 win for the Blackhawks.

10* Chicago -149

10* over 5 goals

The opener stayed under with a 2-1 final. Tampa's five home games before that ended with 10, 6, 11, 5 and 8 goals scored. Chicago's three games before the opener reached 8, 7 and 9 goals. Chicago's games at Nashville totaled 7,8 and 7. Their games at Minnesota ended with 1 and 9 goals. Their three games at Anaheim made it to 5, 5 and 9.

I think things open up a little in Game Two and we see more goals and get an over. A 3-2 or 4-1 final gives us a push.

10* over 5 goals
