This looks like a good spot for the the Islanders to get revenge for a 5-1 home loss to Washington earlier this month. While both teams are in the playoff picture, the Islanders currently hold the top wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference while the Caps are 12th in the conference. 

The Caps are only 1-4 in their last five games and 3-7 in their last 10. They've struggled on the defensive end during that stretch of games allowing 3.8 gpg, and here they'll face an Islanders team that has averaged a healthy 3.60 gpg over their last 10 games.

The Coyotes will be playing on 0 days rest after battling the Avs yesterday, but I think they can keep this close. The Oilers are only 4-3 as road favorites of -200 or more and 1-2 as road favorites of -250 or more. Arizona is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak, but all but one of those games were one-goal affairs. The Coyotes are 6-1 in their last 7 home games.

Seattle is 23-9-4 on the road for the season and this is a revenge game after taking a shootout loss here at Nashville Wednesday night. Both teams are playing for a playoff spot, and while the Preds are 5-2-1 over their past eight games and Kraken only 2-4-1 over their last seven, I like Seattle here in the second game of the two-game series in Nashville.

The Devils are 11-3 in their last 14 vs. Western Conference, and I don't think yesterday's matchup at Anaheim will have too much of a negative impact. They're 3-2 in back-to-back spots on the season, and there will be minimal travel impact.

Both the Flames and the Jets will be playing on two days rest after winning their games on New Year's Eve. The Jets were rather lucky to get the W though as they were outshot 32-17 by the Oilers, and I don't think they'll be quite as lucky here against a Flames team that fires almost 35 shots per game. 

Flames are 22-8 in their last 30 games playing on 2 days rest.

8* PLAY ON CALGARY FLAMES. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Hurricanes are a solid 13-8 on the road while the Rangers are only 8-11 home at Madison Square Garden. The Hurricanes are 15-1 in their last 16 overall and 13-3 in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference. This is not a team you want to step in front of right now. 

10* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Bruins are perfect 7-0 SU off a loss and the under is 7-0 in those games. They are also an absolutely insane 18-3 at home on the season and here they'll face a Pittsburgh that is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak. 

Home team is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Penguins are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Boston. Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

8* PLAY ON BOSTON BRUINS. 

NHL TOTAL MONEYMAKER

The Bruins are perfect 7-0 SU off a loss and the under is 7-0 in those games. They are also an absolutely insane 18-3 at home on the season and here they'll face a Pittsburgh that is coming into this game on a four-game losing streak. 

Home team is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Penguins are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Boston. Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAX BET ALERT

The Blues are only 7-7-2 at home while the Wild are 9-6-1 on the road. Wild are 9-3 in their last 12 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals and we get to fade the Blues off a home win over Chicago. The Blues were a massive favorite in that game, but they are 1-6 as home underdogs. The Wild are 8-4 as road favorites.

10* PLAY ON MINNESOTA WILD. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Ducks snapped a three-game losing streak with an SO win against Vegas on Wednesday. They'll not be as desperate for a win as the Preds who are coming into this game on a two-game slide and 2-8 in their last 10 games. Predators are 45-21 in their last 66 vs. a team with a losing record. Ducks are 10-41 in their last 51 vs. Western Conference. Predators are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

8* PLAY ON NASHVILLE PREDATORS. 

THURSDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Red Wings who will be playing on no rest after battling the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The Sabres are on a four-game winning streak following their 3-2 win at Vegas on December 19. On the season, the Sabres are perfect 3-0 as favorites against an opponent playing on 0 days rest. Sabres are 6-0 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record.

8* PLAY ON BUFFALO SABRES. 

OILERS/FLAMES NHL MONEYLINE

The Oilers have dropped four of their last five games while the Flames entered the break hot as they returned home from a successful 3-1 road trip. The Oilers won 3-2 here in Scotiabank Saddledome on October 29, but the home team is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings. After the break, I think the home advantage will be even more significant than usual and this looks like a good revenge spot for the Flames. 

8* PLAY ON CALGARY FLAMES. 

10* NHL MONEYLINE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pens have been hot lately, but here they'll be looking to get back on track following an OT loss to Carolina. They've had the whole Christmas break to regroup and I expect a strong effort here against an Islanders team that is 0-4 in its last 4 games following a win.

10* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 

LATE NIGHT NHL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Sharks are 3-10-2-3 at home and 4-17 in their last 21 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. The Wild are riding a six-game winning streak following a 4-1 win at Anaheim yesterday. Playing the second game of a back-to-back should not be an issue with the Wild  9-0 in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest.

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA WILD. 

KRAKEN/CANUCKS NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Seattle is 9-4-1 on the road, the Canucks are 5-9-0-1 home at Rogers Arena. Canucks are 5-13 in their last 18 vs. a team with a winning record. Kraken are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing record.

8* PLAY ON SEATTLE KRAKEN. 

CAPS/SENS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Caps are red hot with wins in seven of their last eight games. Capitals are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record and 17-4 in the last 21 meetings with the Senators who are coming into this game on a two-game skid. 

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON CAPITALS. 

10* NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Oilers are coming off three straight losses and I think they'll lose another one here in Dallas Wednesday night. They've been unable to win despite going 6-for-14 on the power play in those three games, and here they'll face a Dallas team that is among the best in the NHL at killing off penalties. 

Oilers are 1-5 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. Stars are 8-3 in their last 11 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.

10* PLAY ON EDMONTON OILERS. 

DEVILS/HURRICANES NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Devils are 11-1-1 on the road this season, but the home team is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings with Carolina and the Devils are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings at PNC Arena. Carolina is one of the NHL's hottest teams with five straight wins 9-0-2 in its last 11 games.  

8* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* BIG BET ALERT

This looks like a great spot to back the Oilers to snap back from home losses to St. Louis and Anaheim. They won 6-3 here at Nashville on December 13 and the Preds are coming into this game on a six-game losing streak. They've scored more than two goals in only one of those games, and I don't see them keeping up with one of the best offenses in the NHL. 

Oilers are 40-19 in their last 59 vs. a team with a losing record. Oilers are 8-0 in the last 8 meetings.

10* PLAY ON EDMONTON OILERS. 

10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Both the Leafs and the Caps will be looking to bounce back from losses. I like Toronto to be the team that gets the W. Maple Leafs are 5-0 in their last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game and 7-1 in their last 8 vs. a team with a losing record. Capitals are 3-8 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and the Maple Leafs are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

10* PLAY ON TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. 

STARS/CAPITALS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Caps are coming into this game on a five-game winning streak following a 7-3 win at Chicago on Tuesday, but they are 1-6 in their last 7 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game and 5-11 in their last 16 vs. a team with a winning record. The Stars are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings in Washington and 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

10* NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Rangers are only 6-6-3-1 at home on the season, and here they'll face one of the hottest teams in the league. The Leafs are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 7-1 in their last 8 road games. The Rangers are riding a four-game winning streak but they are 3-8 in their last 11 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.

10* PLAY ON TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. 

HABS/SENS PUCKLINE PUNISHER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Habs following a 2-1 OT win against Calgary on Monday. The Canadiens are 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win and of their 14 losses on the season, 12 came by at least two goals. The Sens are coming off a 3-0 win against Anaheim.

8* PLAY ON OTTAWA SENATORS. 

OILERS/PREDATORS NHL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Oilers took a 2-1 loss at Minnesota last night, but I like them to bounce back here despite playing on no rest, partially because the Preds will be playing on no rest as well. Nashville is coming into this game on a three-game slide after taking a 1-0 OT loss in St. Louis last night. Predators are 2-5 in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Predators are 3-7 in their last 10 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation.

8* PLAY ON EDMONTON OILERS. 

HURRICANES/RED WINGS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Canes are 5-1 in their last six games and they shut out the Islanders in their last game. Here they'll face a Detroit team that failed to close out a three-game road trip with a perfect record as they fell 5-1 in Florida on Dec 8. This might be too much rest for the Red Wings who are at risk at coming in rusty and the Canes have a huge advantage on both ends of the ice. 

8* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

OILERS/WILD NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good price on the Oilers who have had two days of rest since defeating Minnesota 5-2 at home on Friday. The Wild meanwhile played the very next day when they ended a two-game losing streak with a 3-0 win at Vancouver, so this will be their third game in four nights. 

Wild are 6-13 in their last 19 games playing on 1 days rest.

Oilers are 6-2 in their last 8 overall.

8* PLAY ON EDMONTON OILERS. 

10* DEVILS/RANGERS NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Devils are 11-1 on the road this season. They're 7-3 in their last 10 overall and here they'll be looking to bounce back from a 6-4 loss to the Islanders. The Devils won the first meeting of the season 5-3 here at Madison Square Garden back in November. Sure, it's a rivalry game but this could be a letdown spot for the Rangers after reeling off three straight wins. 

10* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

SUNDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Bruins to snap back from 4-3 loss to Arizona. Bruins are 7-1 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings with Vegas. The Golden Knights are coming off a 2-1 OT win against Philadelphia, but they've struggled to string wins together this season. Golden Knights are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win.

8* PLAY ON BOSTON BRUINS. 

10* WILD/CANUCKS NHL TOP PLAY

The Wild will be playing on no rest following a 5-2 loss at Edmonton Friday night, but they are 8-0 in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with Vancouver. The Canucks are in a potential flat spot after record three straight wins. 

10* PLAY ON MINNESOTA WILD. 

HURRICANES/ISLANDERS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Hurricanes to bounce back from a 4-3 OT loss in Anaheim on Dec 6. They had won four in a row prior to that loss and they have a huge rest advantage here against an Islanders team that will be playing on no rest after winning 8-4 at New Jersey Friday night. 

Hurricanes are 13-5 in their last 18 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Hurricanes are 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.

8* PLAY ON CAROLINA HURRICANES. 

KINGS/HABS NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Kings took a 5-0 loss in Toronto on Thursday, but I like them to snap back with a win here at Montreal Saturday night. Kings are 4-1 in their last 5 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game and 21-6 in their last 27 vs. Atlantic division teams. The Habs are coming off a 4-2 win in Seattle on Tuesday but they are 2-10 in their last 12 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 14-37 in their last 51 vs. Western Conference teams. Kings are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES KINGS. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - SHARKS/DUCKS BEST BET

This looks like a good spot to back a desperate Sharks team looking to end a four-game slide. The Ducks just snapped an ugly six-game skid of their own with an overtime win against Carolina on Tuesday. The Sharks will be the more desperate side and they'll have a big advantage on special teams. 

10* PLAY ON SAN JOSE SHARKS. 

PENS/SABRES NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Sabres who are coming off two dominant triumphs, a 6-3 win against San Jose and a 9-4 thrashing of Columbus. Now they'll face a red hot Pittsburgh team that is 8-2 in its last 10 games and coming to Buffalo looking to avenge a loss here on Nov 2. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 

KRAKEN/CAPS NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Seattle is a phenomenal 8-1-1 on the road for the season, but that is obviously no sustainable. They're coming into this game off back-to-back home losses following a 12-1-1 run, and now they'll face a Washington side that will be looking for pay back from a 3-2 OT loss in Seattle on Dec 1.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON CAPITALS. 

10* JETS/BLUES NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Blues ended a four-game skid with a 7-4 win at NY Islanders on Tuesday. An impressive result considering they were playing the second game of a back-to-back, but I think they'll might pay for it here instead against a Jets team that is coming in hot with wins in five of its last six games. The Jets have scored five goals or more in each of those five wins and the Blues are allowing 3.8 goals per game (29th). 

10* PLAY ON WINNIPEG JETS. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Blue Jackets are 6-9-0-1 at home for the season and they have lost five of their last six overall. They'll be playing on no rest after taking a 4-1 loss at Pittsburgh last night while Buffalo has had plenty of time to rest and prepare since its 6-3 win over San Jose on Sunday. 

Blue Jackets are 7-17 in their last 24 games playing on 0 days rest. Blue Jackets are 6-20 in their last 26 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.

10* PLAY ON BUFFALO SABRES. 

PANTHERS/JETS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Panthers are coming off back-to-back 5-1 wins. They are 37-14 in their last 51 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game and here they'll face a Winnipeg team that had to come back from a two-goal deficit to defeat Anaheim, the last-place team in the Pacific Division, in its last game. 

8* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS.
