12-18-19 | Ducks +105 v. Devils | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
The New Jersey Devils play their first game without Taylor Hall on the roster Wednesday when they host the Anaheim Ducks. Management did not have confidence in this team so they traded their top scorer to the Coyotes. Im now expecting a bit of a letdown situation to hit the team tonight, as they deal with their stars absence. Anaheim may not inspire bettors but their chances of post season action seem much better than the Devils, and that Im betting gives us an edge with a more motivated side. NEW JERSEY is 2-9 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record this season.NEW JERSEY is 1-6 ATS in home games in non-conference games this season.

GOALTENDERS: PHILADELPHIA - BRIAN ELLIOTT, WINNIPEG - CONNOR HELLEBUYCK Philadelphia's offence has averaged just 26 shots on goal in their L/5 overall while scoring an average of 2.6gpg with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 5.4 gpg . In their L/11 games they have allowed more than 3 goals just once. Meanwhile, Winnipeg, has allowed more than 2 goals just 2 times in 8 games. In one rare ugly exception last time out the Jets got lazy and allowed a Detroit team that consistently struggles to score , to put 5 goals in the net against them in a loss , and will now be more committed to playing better D today. PHILADELPHIA is 7-1 UNDER in road games after 1 or more consecutive unders this season with a combined average of 5.1 gpg scored. WINNIPEG is 12-2 UNDER when playing only their 2nd game in 5 days this season with a combined average of 5.1 gpg scored.

Carolina has not allowed more than 3 goals in 10 straight games behind top tier goaltending and D and nothing will change here today vs a Calgary side that despite of a recent offensive run has proven highly inconsistent offensively this season. Also Calgary has not allowed more than 3 goals in 8 of their L/9 overall. Mrazek, has a 1.63 goals-against average while going 2-0-1 over his past three starts.Hurricanes backup James Reimer has a 2.01 goals-against average in winning four of his past five start.

12-12-19 | Jets v. Red Wings UNDER 6 | 2-5 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
The Jets rolled past the struggling Detroit Red Wings 5-1 in Winnipeg on Tuesday and the defense was strong, as the Wings only managed 17 shots on goal. The Jets have also allowed an average of just 1.8 ppg in their L/5 overall, with Defence and playing out of transition being the teams focus. Im betting the RedWings will once again struggle to score here this evening, behind an offense that has averaged just 1.6 gpg in their L/5 and 2.1 gpg on the season and for the Wings D, and goaltending to keep the Jets output within reason. WINNIPEG is 7-1 UNDER off a home win this season.WINNIPEG is 9-2 UNDER in road games after a blowout win by 3 goals or more over the last 2 seasons.WINNIPEG is 21-9 UNDER in road games after a 2 game unbeaten streak over the last 2 seasons.WINNIPEG is 11-2 UNDER when playing against a team with a losing record this season with a combined average of 4.8 gpg scored.WINNIPEG is 9-1 UNDER against poor teams - outscored by their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 4.7 gpg going on the scoreboard.

GOALTENDERS: CAROLINA - PETR MRAZEK, EDMONTON - MIKKO Despite of all the offensive talent on the Oilers, they continue to struggle to score, and have averaged just 2.2 gpg in their L/5 overall. The Oilers have however, been playing decent D, and have allowed only 3.2 gpg. Tonight against a Carolina team that has not allowed more than 2 gpg in their L/4 the Oilers should once again struggle to score, while their own D, holds fortat the other end of the ice, in a tilt I have pegged to stay on the low side of the total. CAROLINA is 10-0 UNDER against good passing teams - averaging 5 or more assists per game this season with a combined average of 4.5 gpg scored. CAROLINA is 9-2 UNDER against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 5.1 gpg scored. CAROLINA is 10-3 UNDER against good offensive teams - scoring 2.85+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 5.4 gpg scored.

GOALTENDERS: SAN JOSE - MARTIN JONES, NASHVILLE - PEKKA RINNE After scoring twice in its previous two games combined and failing to score more than three times in five straight contests, Nashville matched a season high for goals with its 6-4 home victory over New Jersey on Saturday, but now Im expecting a quick regression to the mean. Note: NASHVILLE is 15-4 UNDER in home games after scoring 4 goals or more in their previous game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.9 gpg scored.. Meanwhile, the visiting Sharks , have scored a total of just 6 goals in their L/4 games, and Im betting on another muted effort tonight in a game Im betting stays on the low side of the total. San Jose goaltender Martin Jones owns a a 2.45 goals-against average against the Predators this season despite of some below average overall numbers. Meanwhile, Preds goalie Rinne has allowed seven goals in his last two starts, but has a 1.42 goals-against average during a seven-game home winning streak against the Sharks. NHL Road teams against the total (SAN JOSE) - after 2 straight blowout losses by 3 goals or more against opponent after scoring 6 goals or more in their previous game are 36-12 UNDER L/23 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

GOALTENDERS: BUFFALO - CARTER HUTTON, EDMONTON - MIKKO KOSKINEN The Oilers continue to play a more defensive brand of hockey despite of having some top tier offensive talent in their lineup and have produced an average of just 2 gpg in their L/5 overall . Tonight on tired legs as they prepare to play their 5th in game in 9 days Im betting their output will once against be curtailed, by a Buffalo side also on tired legs as they are off a high scoring 6-5 OT loss-yesterday and in need of shoring up their defense. BUFFALO is 9-3 UNDER after allowing 4 goals or more this season with a combined average of 5.4 gpg scored. EDMONTON is 9-1 UNDER against struggling power play killing teams-opp score on 19% or more of chances this season with a combined average of 4.1 gpg scored.

12-07-19 | Islanders v. Stars UNDER 5 | 1-3 | Win | 110 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Two defensive minded teams with top tier forechecking systems and offenses that work out of transition go head to head tonight in a game I have pegged to stay on the low side of the number. Both teams are playing their 3rd game in 5 nights, so run and gun hockey should be off the table and low scoring game should be the result. DALLAS is 8-1 UNDER in home games when playing their 3rd game in 5 days this season.NY ISLANDERS are 8-1 UNDER when playing their 3rd game in 5 days this season. Play UNDER |

GOALTENDERS: NEW JERSEY - LOUIS DOMINQUE, NASHVILLE - PEKKA RINNE NJ is having a hard time scoring of late with consistency and have failed to score more than 2 gaols in 6 of their L/9 overall and have averaged just 2.1 gpg on the road this season. Meanwhile, Nashville has only averaged 2.2 gpg in their L/5 in low scoring affairs, that have seen a combined average of 4.8 gpg going on the scoreboard. Im betting on both these teams to continue their current trends and for this total to remain on the low side of the total. NASHVILLE is 9-2 UNDER against struggling defensive teams - allowing 3+ goals/game this season. Play UNDER |

12-05-19 | Blackhawks v. Bruins UNDER 6 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
The Bruins enter this game with a great W/L record by have a 45.6% expected goals rate at 5-on-5 and they are converting at below 50% on the season. Recently in their L/5 games, the Bruins are scoring 3.6 gpg while allowing an average of just 1 gpg. Its their defence that makes them the top tier team they are and nothing will change tonight as they look to suffocate the visiting Blackhawks, as side that has averaged just 1.8 gpg in their L/5 overall. With Chicago trying to get out of a recent 3 game slide, Im betting they will also play conservatively out of transition against a dangerous opponent. Note:CHICAGO is 8-0 UNDER after 2 or more consecutive losses this season.CHICAGO is 7-1 UNDER (+6.2 Units) off a home loss this season with a combined average of 5 gpg scored. Exhausted BOSTON is 7-1 UNDER when playing their 4th game in 7 days this season with a combined average of 4.6 gpg scored. Play UNDER |

GOALTENDERS: OTTAWA - ANDERS NILSSON, EDMONTON - MIKKO KOSKINEN The Ottawa Senators are having a hard time finding the back of the net, averaging just 2.2 gpg on the road this season, and just 1.2 gpg in their L/5 overall tilts and are on tired legs as they play their 3rd game in 5 nights, and will once again have problems scoring because of what Im betting will be a lack of energy and obvious cohesiveness. What Im betting here is that the Sens go into turtle mode, and play out of transition which will effect the games pace and offensive output. My projections estimate that Ottawa will not exceed a 2 goal output. Note: EDMONTON is 32-7 UNDER in home games when they allow 2 or less goals over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.8 gpg going on the board. EDMONTON is 11-4 UNDER (+6.3 Units) against poor defensive teams - 29 or more shots on goal, convert 17% or more pp this season with a combined average of 4.8 gpg scored. NHL Home teams where the total is 6 or more (EDMONTON) - off a road win against a division rival, tired team - playing their 3rd game in 5 days are 168-114 L/23 seasons for a long term 60% conversion rate for bettors.

12-04-19 | Avalanche v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 3-1 | Win | 102 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
GOALTENDERS: COLORADO - PHILIPP GRUBAUER, TORONTO - MICHAEL HUTCHINSON Toronto after making a coaching change because of lack of defence, won 3 straight games, but have now lost 2 of 3 while allowing 6 goals each time. It looks like their falling back into depending on the talented offence to do all the work, but neglecting their defensive responsibilities, something that comes natural to guys like Tavares, Marner and Martin and another dozen Leafs. Something has to change quickly, and tonight I expect the Leafs to concentrate on playing much better D, and play this game out of transition vs a Colorado side that can torch them if allowed to run and gun. Play UNDER |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Wild v. Panthers UNDER 6.5 | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Sergei Bobrovsky Panthers goalie has been a top tier puck stopper versus Minnesota, in his career posting one shutout, and a stingy 1.82 goals-against average and .937 save percentage in 13 career starts. But if he does not start, Chris Driedger who, made his first NHL start on Saturday, while earning a 3-0 shutout win over the Nashville Predators could get the call tonight. Both goaltending options are strong, and will hold Minnesota to limited production according to my projections. Meanwhile, the Wild, have a recent history of playing conservatively on the road, as is evident y a 33-16 L/49 UNDER record in a road game where where the total is 6 or more with a combined average of 5.5 gpg scored. I know the Panthers D, has been inconsistent this season, but MINNESOTA is 7-1 UNDER in road games against poor defensive teams - allowing 2.85+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 5.2 gpg scored. Play UNDER |

12-02-19 | Golden Knights v. Rangers UNDER 6 | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
GOALTENDERS: VEGAS - MALCOLM SUBBAN, NY RANGERS - ALEXANDAR GEORGIEV New York, which will be playing its eighth game in 13 days is on tired legs and will Im betting play this game in transition , which will effect the offensive flow of this tilt. Meanwhile, Vegas has only scored 11 goals total in their L/5 games, and have averaged just 2.6 gpg on the road this season, and Im betting they dont eclipse that mark tonight, while their D and goaltending hold the Rangers to a limited output as well. NY RANGERS are 9-3 UNDER in home games against mistake free teams - opponents 4 or less power plays/game this season. Play UNDER |

12-01-19 | Oilers v. Canucks UNDER 6 | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
Vancouver beat the Oilers last night in Edmonton by a 5-2 count, and now return home to take the Oilers on in the back and back home series. Im betting the Oilers will pay better attention to defensive play in this 2nd straight meeting, vs a side that usually comes at it with all out run and gun offence. Note: The Canucks may not be as fresh as usual and are now playing their 4th game in week, which Im betting sees them a little more lethargic than usual which will effect this total combined score to the low side of the number. The last 3 games in this series between these teams has stayed on the low side of the Total. VANCOUVER is 7-0 UNDER in home games off a road win against a division rival over the last 2 seasons with a combined average 4 gpg scored. VANCOUVER is 11-2 UNDER in home games off a road win scoring 4 or more goals over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.3 gpg scored.

11-30-19 | Sabres v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 1-2 | Win | 103 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Sabres showed some scoring ability Friday afternoon when they defeated the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs 6-4. There was lots of screaming from the pundits that suggested the Leafs had already started to fall back in their ugly defensive lapses that had characterized a slide that got their head coach Mike Babcock fired. Now in the rematch I expect the Leafs to really try to shore up their D, and play with a better transitional mind set. This will effect the total combined score in this expected lower scoring rematch. BUFFALO is 8-2 UNDER (+5.9 Units) after allowing 4 goals or more this season with a combined average of 5 gpg scored. NHLRoad teams where the total is 6 or more (BUFFALO) - after allowing 3 goals or more 3 straight games against opponent after scoring 3 goals or more in 3 straight games are 62-25 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

11-27-19 | Jets v. Sharks -129 | 5-1 | Loss | -129 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
San Jose has won three straight games, all in overtime, and its last four victories have come in extra time as they are playing all out hockey . This never say die attitude makes them viable short home favorites working on momentum and confidence. San Jose has won 8 of their L/9 overall and despite of Winnipeg also playing well with a 8-2-1 record in their L/11 they are banged up on defence and at a disadvantage here. Note: The Sharks have held opponents to two goals on 35 power-play opportunities during their 10-game surge and lead the NHL on the season in penalty kill percentage (91.4 percent).On the opposite end of the performance spectrum Winnipeg ranks 30th in the league in penalty kill percentage (72.2 percent).

11-26-19 | Bruins v. Canadiens +109 | 8-1 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
The Habs have beaten the Bruins the last two times these teams have met. Once last season and then again this season by a 5-4 count at home in the Molson Center. According to my power rankings the Canadians matchup well vs the Bruins, and get the nod again on a value line. Note: Goalie Carey Price in goal, owns a .907 save percentage. Price in 47 career games playing the Bruins, has recorded a solid .914 save percentage and will be the difference maker tonight. BOSTON is 0-6 ATS in road games revenging a loss where opponent scored 5 or more goals over the last 2 seasons. Play on the Montreal Canadiens to win on the ML |

Meanwhile, Louis Dominique the Devils goalie is a stable force between the pipes for the Devils in limited action, but his team will be weary of protecting their young goalie in a game I have pegged to stay on the low side of the total.

The red hot Dallas Stars have gotten strong goaltending from the combo of Ben Bishop (8-5-1, 2.25 goals-against average) and Anton Khudobin (6-3-1, 2.15).Khudobin (third) and Bishop (sixth) both ranked in the top six in the NHL in GAA entering Sunday. Dallas also plays a strong defensive system of hockey that bases their offence out of transition. This type of hockey is conducive to lower scoring affairs, especially when facing a side like the Vegas Knights .VEGAS is 15-4 UNDER against good defensive teams - allowing 2.55 or less goals/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average score of 4.6 gpg scored.

Going into the final week of November, the Edmonton Oilers and Arizona Coyotes are in a battle for top spot in the Pacific Division. My own projections tell me the Oilers are the superior overall team behind super star McDavid who scored two goals in a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. Edmonton has won 4 of their L/5 visits to Arizona and get the nod again. Edmonton is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games on the road. Play on the Edmonton Oilers to win |

11-23-19 | Maple Leafs -108 v. Avalanche | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Leafs after firing Mike Babcock their much maligned coach, are trying to change things up behind a new interim HC. We all know how talented the Leafs are offensively, but their D, and goaltending need up grading. Long term I dont like the Leafs lack of cohesiveness and defensive work ethic, but for now through motivated efforts and naturally inflated egos they should have a bit of resurgence including here tonight in Colorado vs a side that plays a similar type of hockey but is banged up with a a bunch of injuries with 4 of their top 6 forwards out. One last note: I truly believe John Tavares is not a leader on the ice or in the dressing room. He is just an offensive super star with very little emotion , almost like a robot. Don't get me wrong hes a sensational hockey player, but his presence does inspire this team and he should have never been made captain. Just look back on his time with the NY Islanders. Since his departure the Isles have thrived. NHL Road Favorites of -200 or less against the money line (TORONTO) - after having lost 4 of their last 5 games against opponent after having won 4 or 5 of their last 6 games are 25-3 L/5 seasons for a 89% conversion rate for bettors.

Prior to that loss the Blues earned points in nine consecutive games, going 7-0-2 , with 8 of 9 of those games seeing them allow no more than 3 goals. Also during their current 0-1-2 winless streak, the Blues scored just five goals. Tonight against an explosive TB offense Im betting we see the Blues hunker down in disciplined fashion and turn this game into a grinding affair, with limited offensive output from both teams, which will help keep this game to the low side of what my numbers say is a slightly bloated total.ST LOUIS is 60-40 UNDER against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game over the last 3 seasons for a 60% conversion rate for low totals bettors.

Both Flyers goalies look solid this season, as well as a D, that has allowed a total of 15 goals in their 7 games overall ( 6 of those 7 games went under the total). Here on the road tonight Im betting on a top tier defensive effort from the Flyers, vs the Florida Panthers and a subsequent under hitting on the board. The L/3 meetings here in this series have gone under all 3 times.

I know the Wild dont inspire bettors either , but recently an uptick has taken place,I behind, left winger Kevin Fiala who has registered four goals and two assists while Zach Parise has three goals and three assists in the last 7 games and could light up a Sabres D that has allowed 21 goals over their L/4 games.

11-16-19 | Stars +108 v. Oilers | 5-4 | Win | 108 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
The reason for the Dallas Stars' early-season rebound? According to center Tyler Seguin, they've gotten back to their "greasy ways." What Sequin means by that is the team is back to playing a very disciplined defensive system. The Stars opened the season 1-7-1, but are 9-1-1 since and are my choice here vs what is a talented but undisciplined Edmonton side. DALLAS is 11-4 ATS when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) over the last 2 seasons. EDMONTON is 1-9 ATS after scoring 3 goals or more in 4 straight games over the last 3 seasons. NHL Home Teams when the money line is -100 to -150 (EDMONTON) - after having won 3 of their last 4 games, good team, winning 60-70% or more of their games on the season are 69-38 L/5 seasons for a 65% conversion rate for bettors.

That will effect their defensive capabilities tonight here against a LA Kings team that plays a fairly wide open style of hockey and that takes alot of shots on net.

Meanwhile, Carolina the Senators hosts tonight have been struggling to score finding the back of the net with 2 or less goals in 7 of their 11 overall, and have also gone under in 3 straight games, all three of which were losses. Needless to say this is the kind of game that has lower scoring tilt written all over it. CAROLINA is 13-4 UNDER in home games against poor possession teams-averaging 3+ less shots on goal than opp over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 5.1 gpg going on the board.

Anaheim's fresh legs and top tier goal tending behind John Gibson who has recorded a 2.55 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage this season will be the difference maker.

The Canucks have cooled off after a red hot 8-1-1 stretch, sliding to 1-2-2 in their past five games after a 4-1 loss in Winnipeg on Friday night, and Im betting on the regression continuing here tonight against the NJ Devils. I know the Devils are highly inconsistent and on a 2 game losing streak, but from a matchup perspective according to my power rankings matchup well vs the Canucks. Before their negative Alberta run in Calgary and Edmonton, the Devils had allowed the fewest high-danger scoring chances and fifth-fewest expected goals against per 60 minutes at 5-on-5. NEW JERSEY is 5-0-0 straight up against VANCOUVER over the last 3 seasons including wins in their L/2 visits here.

Washington is 9-1 L/9 overall but their recent history vs the Panthers is not a positive one as the Caps are just 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing Florida.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Blues have been tempering themselves and not working to hard , but their experience at finding ways to win continues , as they have come from behind in seven victories this season. They are a confident group, that must always be respected on as underdogs on a value line. Tonight against a up trending Vancouver team , Im betting the Blues will be motivated to get revenge for a home loss to the Canucks earlier this season on home ice by a 4-3 count.

Tonight against a banged up but still explosive Colorado side, Im expecting they get back to hard forechecking and a wait game in transition vs a superior side, which will result in a lower scoring game. COLORADO is 7-1 UNDER in home games against terrible power play teams - scoring on 13%or less of their chances over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.4 gpg scored.

The Kings have tried to force the action since the start of the season. No opponent has taken more shots on goal than they have in a game. It has not been an extremely strong game plan so far, but against a team like the Canucks that allows 31.3 shot on the goal this season the Kings can find success. There have also been some closed door discussions about getting the most out of veteran players, and a fire has been lit under their proverbial butts, so tonight Im expecting a motivated Kings .Add to that the Kings are also looking for redemption for a ugly 8-2 loss to the Canucks in their 2nd game of the season and we have a very angry team to bet on at a value ML price. Vancouver is 6-14 SU in its last 20 games on the road NHL team against the money line (LOS ANGELES) - after 2 straight losses by 2 goals or more against opponent after scoring 5 goals or more in 2 straight games are 31-16 L/5 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors.

Now in redemption mode I expect that Kings do their best to be careful in transition and actually procure some kind of forechecking tonight, which Im betting results in a lower scoring affair. I know Vancouvers offence has been clicking of late, but it must be noted that VANCOUVER is 7-0 UNDER in road games after scoring 3 goals or more in 4 straight games over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 3.7 gpg scored. VANCOUVER is 20-8 UNDER in road games against good offensive teams - averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game over the last 2 seasons.( Nobody in the league takes more shots on net than the Kings) the average combined score of this 28 game sample size clicks in at 5.5 gpg.

The visiting Wild fell 6-3 to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night as they blew a 3-0 lead in the process . Minnesota has allowed 32 goals in in their seven losses away from home but the linesmakers are still projecting a fairly low scoring game, and Im betting their correct in their assessments.Goaltender Alex Stalock played last night for the tired Wild, so Dubnyk (2-5-0, 3.92 GAA, .880 save percentage) will likely start against the Blues. He was 3-0 with a 1.32 GAA and .947 save percentage against them last season. Im expecting his work between the pipes, and the exhausted Wilds need to play more conservatively on the road to be one of the keys of this being a low scoring game against a banged up St.Louis side playing without one of their top scorers Vladamir Tarasenko. MINNESOTA is 9-2 UNDER in road games after playing a game where 8 or more total goals were scored over the last 2 season with a combined average of 5.2 gpg scored. NHL Road teams where the total is 5.5 (MINNESOTA) - tired team - playing their 2nd road game in 2 days, with a losing record in the first half of the season are 71-33 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors.

The Oilers continue to depend way to much on the trio of McDavid, Draisaitl and James Neal and seem like team more interested in buoying the numbers of their super stars instead of a team concept that can garner wins . Truth is the Oilers are just two one dimensional and easy to read. With that said , I'm betting on the Jackets to deliver the cash here tonight and cash for the 6th time in the L/8 meetings inColumbus in this series.

It was the first meeting between the clubs since longtime Red Wings GM Ken Holland took the same position with the Oilers in May and now its payback time for the Red Wings. i know these teams might look like they re performing at the opposite end of the performance spectrum, but according to my power rankings the Red Wings are up trending quickly. Detroit is 10-3 SU in its last 13 games when playing at home against Edmonton. EDMONTON is 11-18 ATS when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) over the last 3 seasons and is 7-13 ATS against struggling teams - outscored by opponents by 0.5+ goals/game over the last 2 seasons.

10-29-19 | Sharks v. Bruins UNDER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
the Sharks have struggled in their first 12 games of this season. San Jose has allowed four or more goals eight times thus far while scoring two or fewer on six occasions. QUTE: "We're playing from behind in a lot of these games," San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said, "and instead of sticking with it and trusting the group and the system, everyone wants to step out and fix it themselves, but it doesn't work that way. So eventually you have to learn that lesson." END QUOTE. Im betting that the Sharks have learned their less, and will play a more disciplined game here vs a explosive Boston Bruins team. Note:The Sharks despite their over all struggle killed all four power plays they faced in their last contest, improving their league-leading penalty kill to 93.2 percent. Thats important here vs a Boston side, that had a power play conversion in 6 of their L/7 games overall. BOSTON is 8-1 UNDER in home games after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game over the last 2 season ( with a combined average score of 4.8 gpg scored) SAN JOSE is 15-4 UNDER in road games after 3 consecutive non-conference games over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 5.2 gpg scored. Tuukka Rask, fresh off a shutout of the defending champion St. Louis Blues on Saturday, is expected to start between the pipes for the Bruins. In his current form hes hard to beat, and is a key component here in my under projections for this tilt.

Since the Penguins beat the Stars 4-2 on Oct. 18 in Pittsburgh, Dallas has won three straight games, while Pittsburgh has lost three in a row. The difference maker for the Stars is their ability to implement a NYI Barry Trotz type defensive plan, that allows them to stay close and look for the right opportunities in transition. This has been evident in their consecutive victories vs Philadelphia, Ottawa and Anaheim, by 4-1, 2-1 ,and 2-1 scores, and now with momentum and success on their sides, will Im betting continue down this path, vs the Penguins here tonight in a game I have pegged to stay on the low side of the total. Note: The Penguins have only scored a total of 4 goals in their L/3 games, thanks and part to injuries , and a new found vigor for playing a tighter brand of defensive hockey. DALLAS is 17-3 UNDER in home games after a 2 game unbeaten streak over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.8 gpg scored.DALLAS is 9-1 UNDER in home games after allowing 2 goals or less in 3 straight games over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.3 gpg scored.

The Sharks are already playing tough D, and have allowed 2 goals or less in in 3 of their L/5 overall, and will be even more conservative here vs an explosive opponent as they play on tired legs. With that said, Im betting on a combined score that stays on the low side of the number.

10-23-19 | Penguins v. Lightning UNDER 6.5 | 2-3 | Win | 115 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Both these teams have alot of offensive firepower, but these veteran filled sides also, take pride in not taking part in run and gun affairs, vs sides they respect. Instead Im betting on a more conservative tilt that will feature strong defensive and base offensive chances on transitional play. With Pittsburgh on tired legs playing tbeir 8th game in 14 days and suddenly finding it hard to score in their last two games( 2 goals total) Im betting they will be even more conservative than usual. Note:PITTSBURGH is 24-15 UNDER in road games against good passing teams - averaging 5 or more assists per game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 6 gpg scored. Play UNDER |

The Vegas Knights are on tired legs as they play their 3rd road game in 4 nights and will not be prepared to run and gun tonight and instead Im betting they will play more conservatively in transition. Especially after a sloppy 6-2 loss at Philadelphia last time out. Meanwhile, their hosts the Chicago Blackhawks are a team that has a renewed respect for fore checking and solid defensive play , as has been evident of late , by going under the total in 3 of their L/4 games. NHL Road teams where the total is 6 or more (VEGAS) - extremely tired team - playing their 3rd road game in 4 days, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season in the first half of the season are 31-9 UNDER L/23 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

The Isles are a well coached top tier defensive team behind Barry Trotz, and are dangerous dogs having won 6 of their L/9 road games dating back to last season, and on a current 3 game win streak including a 3-1 win vs Winnipeg on Thursday night. Now going against a stripped down Columbus side that no longer packs alot of offensive firepower the Jackets are vulnerable against this type of opponent. Play on the NY Islanders to win on the ML |

This will be the first meeting between them and the visiting Bruins since last seasons play offs, that saw the Buds eliminated during what was a year that was promising for the Leafs.

Needless to say they will the have the legs to push the action here tonight, vs a Jersey team that allows 4.8 gpg and that has seen 4 of their L/5 home games eclipse the total with a combined average of 8.7 gpg scored. Tonight Im betting on more high scoring action. NEW JERSEY is 23-9 OVER against poor possession teams-averaging 3+ less shots on goal than opp over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 6.7 gpg scored in those 32 tilts.

10-15-19 | Wild v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
The Wild have to deal with an explosive Leafs team on the road here tonight and Im betting they play conservatively here as they use the momentum of a 2-0 shutout win vs the Seans last time out as motivation. I know the Leafs are chalk loaded full of up front talent, but HC Mike Babcock after some ugly early season defensive performances, is stressing on his team to forecheck and play better D. This combination Im betting will end up seeing this combined score stay on the low side of the total. The Wild have killed 16-of-19 penalties this season after Ottawa went 0-for-5 on the power play and their current pp killing abilities will help them here against the tide of a dangerous Buds power play. Leafs G Andersen is expected to be in goal Tuesday and is 4-3-0 with a 2.61 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in seven games against Minnesota. Wild G Devan Dubnyk is 6-3-1, 2.72, .910 in 11 games (10 starts) versus Toronto.

Now with momentum on thei sides after a 7-4 win vs good Nashville team last time out, they are my choice here tonight on a value line.

Yes, I know the Penguins are banged up , but their call ups from the AHL are a hard working fast skating forechecking group with alot to prove., and are thus motivated. QUOTE:"For me, they're not AHL guys. They're Pittsburgh Penguins, and that's how we look at them," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "These guys are all good players. They can all play in this league. They're capable of being impactful on the game. That's why they're here, and that's why they're in our lineup." END QUOTE.

After flying out from Western Canada to play the NY Islanders on Tuesday night, Im now finally expecting a little jet lag to take hold of the Oilers here tonight in Jersey vs a struggling but desperate Devils team. I know James Neal has been making headlines with his goal scoring frenzy early this season, but hes far from a one man team, and from a matchup perspective the Devils according to my power rankings match up well here.

Note:Under is 17-5 in Canucks last 22 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. Im betting their futility to put the biscuit in the back of the net will continue here vs the visiting LA Kings.

It was the first time in NHL history that a reigning Presidents Trophy-winner was held without a shot on goal for an entire period. Tonight Im betting on more of the same type of staunch forechecking by the Canes, and for this contest involving the Florida Panthers to also end up being low scoring enough for us to cash an under ticket. Also Carolinas tired legs, will also have a direct result of the speed of this game.CAROLINA is 22-11 UNDER when playing their 3rd game in 4 days over the last 3 seasons.

The Winnipeg Jets aggressive free flowing offence meets the defensive minded NY Islanders this Sunday . The Isles just don't have the finishers to put alot of goals on the board, so they will once again be ultra conservative under Barry Trotz system of defensive minded hockey which Im betting translates in a lower scoring game that fails to eclipse this total.Also with this being the Jets 3rd consecutive road game their legs may not allow them to be as aggressive as they have been in their first two tilts.NY ISLANDERS are 10-1 UNDER in home games on Sunday games over the last 2 seasons.

Ducks won their opener but Im not sold on them being much better than they were last season when they went into a 5-21-4 skein during one pivotal stretch and mustered a league-worst 2.39 goals per game over the whole campaign. Meanwhile, San Jose thanks to losing their first two game of the season, by a combined 9-2 count to Vegas in a home and away series are not getting much respect here which suits me fine as we bet into a recency bias line. Note: SJ will start goalie Dell w'ho has turned aside 50 of 56 shots to record a 1-0-1 mark in two career starts versus the Ducks. Note: San Jose has won 6 of their L/7 games here in Anaheim and get my support to cash again. Sharks are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Meanwhile, Toronto looks to be playing with a real chip on their shoulder after being eliminated in the first round of the play offs last season, and Im betting will continue some upward momentum behind a strong start. Bottom line is here, there is just to much firepower in the Leafs lineup for the Jackets to deal with.

Scoring was not Chicago's problem last season, but the Blackhawks allowed the second most goals in the NHL, but their defensive play was an issue that is being addressed . The arrival of G Lehner from the Islanders as well as a more pronounced defensive attitude should improve those numbers dramatically. Tonight Im betting that the Blackhawks will have problems penetrating the back of the net vs G Carter Hart, who posted a 2.83 goals-against average and .917 save percentage during his rookie season, and for the Flyers to not find alot of room on the ice vs a group that says its dedicated to playing much better D.

Arizona could not consistently score last season, and despite of adding Phill Kessel still dont have alot of offensive weapons, and will once again have to lean on their solid D, and goaltending to guide them through the season. The Coyotes return G Kuemper who posting a sizzling 22-9-6 record with a 2.05 goals-against average in his last 37 decisions. The 6-foot-5,back stop is expected to share goaltending duties with Antti Raanta, who is returning from knee surgery. Meanwhile, the Ducks are a squad that struggled to score goals (2.43 per game) and is in the midst of transition and Im betting continue to have trouble putting the biscuit in the back of the net this season. Their top goalie Gibson recorded a 26-22-8 record with two shutouts, a 2.84 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in 2018-19 and is capable of better numbers.

The St.Louis Blues were improbable NHL Stanley Cup Champs last season, and Im betting they start out on the right foot here this Wednesday night in their opening game of the season. These teams for the most part, have the same rosters as last season. But the key to this game is a injured Alex Ovechkin is "?" Wednesday vs St. Louis ( Lower Body ). Ifhe plays at all he will be less than 100% giving the Blues not only home ice advantage but a overall advantage. Last season the Blues defense allowed the third-fewest shots against per game and the fifth-fewest goals against and this will once again be the key to success here in game 1 of the new season.

Look for the officials to mostly keep their whistles on pause and for both defences and goal tenders Rask and Bennington to be at the top of their games. Im betting on a very tight affair, that bases offence on transition. The above combinations give us an edge on a under wager. Note: Only 1 goal was on the board entering the 3rd period in game 6. ST LOUIS is 8-1 UNDER in road games against top caliber teams - outscoring opponents by 0.65+ goals/game this season.

With a win St.Louis can bring home the Blues first ever Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, the Bruins with a win can extend this series to a decisive game 7 back in Boston. With that said, Im betting this game will be a war, and in these circumstances the officials usually put away their whistles, unless of a flagrant infraction, which will limit power plays, which will limit key scoring opportunities. Also both teams will be ultra conservative and very physical as no one wants to make a mistake in a big game like this. Im also betting on both top tier goalies Rask and Bennington to be wide awake and hard to beat making for a total score that fails to eclipse this total.

With Boston star defensemen Zeno Chara out or far less than 100% with a broken jaw and Matt Grzelcyk already out the Bruins the home team is looking depleted and susceptible to being beaten by an under appreciated underdog because of their lack of blue line depth, and the Blues relentless forecheck. Considering the circumstances the public leaning price the books are asking to back St.Louis are good value and deserve my backing here tonight. Note:Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington (2.52 GAA, .909 save percentage in the postseason) is one win away of matching the NHL rookie record for most by a goalie in a single postseason (15).

I know the Bruins looked over powering but, in this series overall the teams have looked pretty even 5 on 5, with the difference maker coming via the Bs extremely potent power play. Bennington the Blues goalie has bounced back off poor performances all season long, and as long as the Blues can stay out of the penalty box , they have a very good chance of rebounding here tonight in front of their own fans. I know the public is completely tilting towards Bruins again based on their recent performances, but to underestimate the Blues is a mistake in my humble opinion and Im willing to lay money on it. ST LOUIS is 25-9 ATS against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season this season.ST LOUIS is 24-8 ATS against good passing teams - averaging 5 or more assists per game in the 2nd half of the year this season.ST LOUIS is 29-16 ATS after 1 or more consecutive losses this season and is 22-10 ATS after allowing 4 goals or more this season.

Meanwhile, St.Louis despite of consistently finding ways to score timely goals, are a defence first team, with multitudes of patience , and when all else fails a goaltending phenom by the Bennington on their side. With so much on the line here in game 6 for both sides Im betting we see a hard fought low scoring game.

Tonight in a game 3 Im betting on their ability to be physical and tenacious will be the difference maker in a game vs a good San Jose team that lacks consistent defence or goaltending which is a real negative that they have been able to overcome so far in these play offs because of a potent offence and bad officiating calls. SAN JOSE is 11-20 ATS off a close road loss by 1 goal over the last 3 seasons. (The Blues won game 4 by a 2-1 count) Blues are 8-2 in their last 10 games as an underdog.Blues are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Blues are 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog of +110 to +150.Blues are 4-1 in their last 5 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150.Blues are 23-6 in their last 29 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game.Blues are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a road underdog.Blues are 20-6 in their last 26 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game.Blues are 6-2 in their last 8 road games.Blues are 6-2 in their last 8 playoff games as an underdog.Blues are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. Pacific.Blues are 5-2 in their last 7 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.Blues are 7-3 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.Blues are 7-3 in their last 10 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.Blues are 17-8 in their last 25 overall.Blues are 19-9 in their last 28 vs. a team with a winning record.

Western Conference Finals - Best of 7 - Game 3 - Series tied at 1-1 Jordan Binnington saved 24 of 26 shots in the Blues' Game 2 win, and Im betting on him repeating in follow up performance as the series moves St. Louis. I also expect Sharks Logan Couture to be concentrated on by the Blues here tonight and for his presence to be muted. St.Louis remains a consistent team, cold as is ice sort of speak, as they consistently show speed in the offensive zone of transition, and hard fore checking from start to finish making them a dangerous team and my choice here tonight vs the Sharks. ST LOUIS is 21-6 ATS against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season this season. Play on St.Louis Blues to win on the ML |

Eastern Conference Finals - Best of 7 - Game 3 - BOS Leads 2-0 The Bruins dominated the Carolina Canes in game 2 at home in this series, after getting lucky and taking game 1. However, Im betting the Canes in desperation mode with their home town fans behind them, get a must needed win here tonight. I know after their last debacle , its hard to back Carolina, but they have been one of the best 5 on 5 teams in the NHL this season, and one of the few teams that can battle with the Bs straight up. CAROLINA is 12-5 ATS revenging a blowout loss vs opponent of 3 goals or more this season.CAROLINA is 10-1 ATS in a home game where where the total is 5.5 this season. Home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. Play on Carolina to win on the ML |

Western Conference Finals - Best of 7 - Game 2 - SAN Leads 1-0 San Jose won game 1 of this series by a 6-3 count, and Im betting on more high octane work here tonight by both teams in a game Im betting eclipses the total. Considering how erratic Martin Jones San Jose goalie has been all season, its an easy decision to take an over stance here. Over is 3-0-1 in Blues last 4 playoff games as an underdog. Over is 3-0-1 in Blues last 4 road games. Over is 2-0-2 in Blues last 4 games as an underdog of +110 to +150. Over is 3-0-1 in Blues last 4 games as a road underdog. Over is 4-0 in Blues last 4 Conference Finals games. Over is 3-0-1 in Blues last 4 games as an underdog. Over is 2-0-2 in Blues last 4 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150. NHL team against the total (ST LOUIS) - in the conference finals, in the 2nd game of a playoff series are 56-24 OVER L/22 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors. Play OVER |

Western Conference Semifinals - Best of 7 - Game 7 - Series tied at 3-3 San Jose is the older of these two teams and more experienced but their overall age and the fact that this is their 2nd straight 7 games series, flashes fatigue factor red flags all over the place. With that said, Im betting on the young legs and natural offensive talent of play makers like Nathan McKinnon to be the difference maker here tonight in this pivotal tilt. Plus I can't trust SJ goalie Martin Jones, who is as inconsistent any goalie in the entire NHL. Avalanche are 13-3 in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest and are 5-2 in their last 7 games as an underdog. Avalanche are 5-2 in their last 7 playoff games as an underdog.

Western Conference Semifinals - Best of 7 - Game 7 - Series tied at 3-3 These teams base most of their successes and failures on playing hard nosed hockey that keys on top tier defences and goalies . Also in game 7s refs usually make sure the game is not decided on border line calls, so penalties and power plays should be limited. Add to that the Vegas Knights penalty fiasco and you can make a case for the refs being very cautious with their whistles in what will be a grinding conservative affair that will be based on each sides transition game, which Im betting aides in us cashing on with a under ticket. Play UNDER |

Western Conference Semifinals - Best of 7 - Game 6 - SAN Leads 3-2 The Avalanche have given the Sharks all they can handle in this series, but Saturday it was San Jose that controlled the game and bottled up Colorado's best player. Oilers center Nathan MacKinnon, who came into Saturday with an eight-game playoff point streak, was held scoreless and managed just one shot. Im betting that wont happen again and Colorado takes this to a 7th and deciding game . SAN JOSE is 6-17 ATS in the 6th game of a playoff series since 1996.COLORADO is 26-16 ATS revenging a loss where team scored 1 or less goals over the last 2 seasons.

Western Conference Semifinals - Best of 7 - Game 6 - SAN Leads 3-2 A combined total of 6 goals have been scored in the L/2 games of this series, and Im betting on the tight play and top tier goal tending and defence continuing here tonight. Martin Jones turned aside 21 of 22 shots on Saturday, improving his save percentage to .936 over the last eight games. Colorado G Philipp Grubauer owns 3-1 mark with a 1.69 goals-against average and .945 save percentage at Pepsi Center in the 2019 playoffs. Play UNDER |

Western Conference Semifinals - Best of 7 - Game 5 - Series tied at 2-2 The Blues won the first and third games of this series, while the Stars took the second and fourth, so it's up to St. Louis to respond after their first road loss of the playoffs and Im betting they come out here like their hairs on fire and get the job done. Im a big believer in the Blues, and their grit, and I believe it will be the difference maker in this series. Note:ST LOUIS is 36-19 ATS second half of the season this season. Stars are 4-12 in their last 16 games as an underdog of +151 to +200. Play on the Blues |
