NHL GAME OF THE WEEK  - 10* MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Panthers are coming only 1-6 in their last seven games, and they're coming into this game off three consecutive losses. Still, I have them as a much better team than the Canucks and too good of a team to lose four in a row! The Canucks are 3-13 in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference. The Panthers are 50-19 in their last 69 vs. a team with a losing record.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I like the Rangers here as they look to bounce back from three disappointing losses. The Sens are in a potential flat spot after closing out a four-game road trip with back-to-back wins. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK RANGERS. 

TOP-RATED 10* STARS/BLUES NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Blues are 8-2 in their last 10 games, but they had lost back-to-back games before ending the losing streak with a miraculous come from behind win against Florida on Saturday. Now they'll face a Dallas team primed to bounce back from a pair of losses to Winnipeg and Colorado. The Stars are 3-1 as road favorites on the season. 

10* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* EAST v WEST BEST BET

The Sens have struggled on the road this season, coming into this game with a 1-6-1 record away from home. Now they'll face a Ducks team that is only 5-13 in their last 18 home games. We can also note that the Ducks are 5-21 in their last 26 Friday games.

Both defenses are trash, but the Sens are averaging 3.1 goals per game which is just under the league average, and they are averaging a healthy 33.2 shots on goal per game (9th). The Ducks are allowing an NHL-worst 37.8 shots per game. 

10* PLAY ON OTTAWA SENATORS. 

LEAFS/WILD NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Wild are coming off back-to-back home wins, but they are still only 4-5-0-1 at home on the season. The Wild defeated Winnipeg 6-1 last time out. They are 1-4 in their last 5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game while the Leafs are 7-2 in their last 9 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game. The Leafs are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record.

8* PLAY ON TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. 

FLAMES/CAPS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Caps snapped a four-game skid with a 3-2 OT win against the Flyers in their last game. I think they'll be back to losing here though, as they face a Calgary team that is 26-10 in their last 36 vs. a team with a losing record. The Caps have struggled with consistency and they are 2-8 in their last 10 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.

8* PLAY ON CALGARY FLAMES. 

NHL Game of the Week - 10* Preds/Red Wings BEST BET

The Predators have been picking up steam since a slow start to the season. They have won four of their last five games, and here they'll face a Detroit team they have defeated in each of the last six matchups. The Red Wings have scored 13 goals over their last two games but against Columbus and San Jose. The Preds are a tougher opponent and I like the price we get on them here. 

10* play on Nashville Predators.

Late Night NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Golden Knights are 3-1 in their last four games, but 10-3 in their last 13 overall and 8-1-1 on the road this season. The Canucks are coming off back-to-back wins but they are 0-7 in their last 7 vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

10* PLAY ON LA KINGS. 

CAPS/BLUES NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I like the Blues as they look to build on a four-game winning streak. They're still only 7-8 on the season and the Capitals are 1-6 in their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record. Washington has gone cold with only two wins in its last nine games, and the Caps are 1-4 in the last five meetings with St. Louis. 

8* PLAY ON ST. LOUIS BLUES. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Blue Jackets are only 4-9-1 on the season. They've won only one of their last seven games and they've allowed at least four goals in all of those seven games. The Flyers are 0-3 in their last games, but they've outshot their opponent in each game. If they just keep shooting, they'll light up the light plenty in this one. 

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA FLYERS. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER

The Sens snapped a seven-game skid with a 4-1 win at Philadelphia on Saturday. Now they'll face an Islanders tema that is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings with the Senators and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Ottawa. The Islanders are coming in hot with eight wins in their last 10 games. 

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Rangers are coming off three straight home losses, but I expect them to come through as a road favorite in Detroit Friday night. This is a revenge game for the Rangers after taking a 3-2 OT loss home to Detroit home at the Garden on November 6. Since the start of last season, the Rangers are 3-0 as road favorites looking to avenge a loss as a home favorite. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK RANGERS. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* MAJOR WAGER MONEYLINE

The Pens will be looking to end a seven-game skid. They've had three days of rest since taking a 3-2 home loss to Seattle on Saturday and they are 9-2 in their last 11 games playing on 3 or more days rest. The Caps defeated Edmonton 5-4 Monday night, but they are 2-8 in their last 10 games following a win.

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

Seattle is riding a four-game winning streak and coming into this game at 7-4-2 for the season. The Predators are 6-13 in their last 19 vs. a team with a winning record and 3-7 in their last 10 games following a win. Kraken are 9-4 in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing record.

The Jets are 2-8 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and the Stars have won each of the last four matchups against the Jets. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

LATE NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE TOP PLAY

Playing on the West Coast is never easy for the East Coast teams, but the Panthers have had time to settle in and defeated the Sharks in San Jose on November 3. The Panthers are 48-14 in their last 62 vs. a team with a losing record and the Kings are coming into this game off back-to-back losses. 

The Panthers are expected to give goalie Sergei Bobrovsky a rest but backup Spencer Knight is off to a hot start (3-1-0, 2.53 GAA).

10* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS. 

LATE NIGHT 10* NHL TOP PLAY

The Devils own the Nucks. They are 12-1 in the last 13 meetings overall and 5-1 in the last meetings in Vancouver. They're coming into this game on a three-game winning streak and they've lost only one of their last seven games. The Canucks are coming off back-to-back wins, but they are 2-5-2 on the season and this looks like a letdown spot after beating Pittsburgh as a sizeable underdog last time out. 

10* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Golden Knights are 8-2-0 on the season and they've had a day off since defeating Winnipeg on Sunday. The Caps meanwhile will be playing on no rest and their third game in four nights after taking a shootout loss at Carolina last night. The Caps are shorthanded with center Nicklas Backstrom (hip) and wingers Carl Hagelin (hip), Tom Wilson (knee) and Connor Brown (lower-body) and T.J. Oshie (lower-body) injured. 

8* PLAY ON VEGAS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Canucks have picked up only four points through their first eight games of the season. They're allowing 4.3 goals per game, and here they'll face the highest-scoring team in the league. The Pens will be well rested after having two days off since losing at Carolina on Tuesday while the Canucks will be playing on no rest after winning 5-4 in Seattle last night. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 

MIKE'S 10* RANGERS/ISLANDERS 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a tough spot for the Rangers who will be playing their third game in four nights and coming off a 3-2 OT loss to Colorado last night. The Islanders have had two days rest since taking a 3-2 loss at Florida, their third straight setback. Islanders are 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest and 6-2 in the last eight meetings with the Rangers. 

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Are the wheels coming off the Rangers who have lost three of four since opening the season with a pair of wins? Nah, they'll be just fine, but I think they're in for a tough one here against an Avs team that will be playing on two days rest since beating the Golden Knights in Vegas on Saturday. Avalanche are 11-0 in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. Avalanche are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

8* PLAY ON COLORADO AVALANCHE. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The New Jersey Devil opened the season with a pair of losses, but they have answered with a three-game winning streak, and I like them to stay hot here against a Washington side that is shorthanded due to injuries. 

8* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Stars had opened the season with three wins before taking a 3-2 OT loss at Toronto in their last game. Dallas was outshot 43-28, but a big reason for the discrepancy is that they had to fight off eight penalties. I better discipline from the Stars players today, and I like the Stars to bounce back against a Montreal team that will be playing on no rest after defeating Arizona 6-2 yesterday. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL BIG HITTER

The Islanders have won back-to-back games since dropping the opener as a home underdog against Florida. The Devils are 1-2 on the season after defeating Anaheim 4-2 on Tuesday. The Devils outshot Anaheim 41-20, but now they'll face an opponent they've struggled against in recent seasons. The Islanders have won eight of the last 10 meetings and the Devils are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in New York.

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I expect a strong effort from the Sens here in their first home game of the season after starting the season with a pair of losses, at Buffalo and Toronto. The Bruins meanwhile are in a potential flat spot after opening the season with three wins. Buy low, sell high is the name of the game. 

10* PLAY ON OTTAWA SENATORS. 

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE PUNISHER

The Ducks opened the season with an OT win over Seattle, but they lost 7-1 at the Islanders in their most recent game. The Rangers had won back-to-back games before taking a 4-1 loss at Winnipeg in their last game. Still, the Rangers outshot their opponent 41-33, and Anaheim has allowed 48 and 38 shots in its two games. The Rangers are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings at Madison Square Garden, and I like them to bounce back with a big outing here. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK RANGERS -1.5. 

MIKE'S LATE NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Vegas has opened the season with wins over the Kings and the Blackhawks. Seattle has opened the season with a win over the Kings and an OT loss to Anaheim. Vegas owned Seattle last season, winning all four meetings. The Kraken should be better than they were during their inaugural season, but they are still not on the same level as Vegas. 

8* PLAY ON VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS. 

MIKE'S LIGHTNING/RANGERS NHL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This is a big revenge game for the Rangers after giving up a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin has a  2.00 GAA in nine career starts against the Lightning. Rangers netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy is 1-3-0 with a 3.23 GAA in the regular season at New York.

NHL GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S ECF BEST BET

i love the Tampa Bay Lightning to snap back from a humbling 6-2 loss in the opener of the Eastern Conference finals.

On the season, the Líghtning are 21-12 (64%) off a loss and perfect 3-0 off a loss in this year's playoffs. Since the start of the 2019 season, the Lightning are 100% perfect 19-0 off a loss in the playoffs!

The Chicago Blackhawks will close out the season with a three-game homestand, starting with this matchup against Philadelphia Monday night. The Blackhawks are coming into the game as losers of four of five and 12 of 14, but they've had a one day of rest unlike the Flyers who gave it alll in a win against rivals Pittsburgh on Sunday. 

8* play on Chicago Blackhawks. 

MIKE'S SENS/BLUE JACKETS NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to back the Columbus Blue Jackets who are coming off three losses as sizeable underdogs on the road. The Blue Jackets are 14-3 in their last 17 games as a favorite and they've had two days off since a 3-2 loss at San Jose. The Sens will also be playing on two days rest, but they're off an OT win at Vancouver and not as hungry for a win as Columbus. 

10* play on Columbus Blue Jackets. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Calgary Flames have won seven of their last eight games. They'll be playing on no rest after defeating Chicago 5-2 Monday night, but it was pretty much a no-sweat victory, and the Flames are 6-2 in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest. Nashville took an 8-3 beating by St. Louis in its last game and the Predators are 3-8 in their last 11 games as an underdog. Flames are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Nashville.

8* play on Calgary Flames. 

NHL GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S STARS/CANUCKS BEST BET

The Dallas Stars have scored only five goals over their last three games, but they still won two of those games. I expect a solid outing from the Stars tonight.

In their last game, Dallas won 2-1 over San Jose. Stars are 6-1 in their last 7 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game and 10-2 in their last 12 games as a road favorite.

The Canucks are riding a five-game winning streak through which they have scored 26 goals, but now they'll have to do without their captain and top scorer Bo Horvat who suffered a leg injury in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Coyotes.

10* play on Dallas Stars. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a great spot to back the Rangers to avenge a 7-4 loss to the Devils on March 22. The Rangers had won eight straight meetings prior to that setback, and this is a tough situation for the Devils who will be playing their third game in four nights. The Devils are 1-9 in their last 10 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and 13-39 in their last 52 games as an underdog.

The Dallas Stars have won five of their past seven games and they just defeated the Ducks 3-2 here at Anaheim on Tuesday to make it five wins in the last six head-to-heads. The Ducks are playing with absolutely no confidence and they are 0-8-2 over their last 10 games.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Minnesota Wild are rolling and coming into this game off seven straight wins, all home at Xcel Energy Center. They get one more home game before traveling to Caroline, and I expect the Wild to come through with another win tonight.

The Penguins lost as a home favorite against the Rangers on Tuesday, and they are 1-4 in their last 5 games as an underdog.

10* play on Minnesota Wild. 

MIKE'S TGIF NHL BIG HITTER *PUCKLINE*

The Washington Capitals should come out fired up here they look to snap back from a couple of disappointing home losses to Dallas and St. Louis. The Caps are 9-2 straight up and 7-4 against the puckline as road favorites of -125 or more this season. The Sabres have won five of their last six, all as massive underdogs, but can't keep overperforming like this for much longer. Capitals are 20-6 in the last 26 meetings and 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Buffalo.

8* play on Washington Capitals. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a terrific spot to fade the Edmonton Oilers who will be playing on no rest after taking a 3-2 OT loss at Colorado last night. Oilers are 1-6 in their last 7 games following OT on the previous day and 4-10 in their last 14 games as an underdog. The Stars defeated the Oilers 4-1 here at American Airlines Center back in November and they are a solid 19-7 in their last 26 games as a home favorite.

8* play on Dallas Stars. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Nashville Predators have played quite well lately with five wins in their last seven games, but I don't like their chances here against an almost equally hot Toronto team. It's worth noting that the Predators are 2-5 in their last 7 games as an underdog and they are 2-6 in the last 8 meetings with the Leafs. Additionally, Toronto will get league-leading goal scorer Auston Matthews back after missing the last two games due to suspension. 

10* play on Toronto Maple Leafs. 

NHL MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S 10* GAME OF THE WEEK

The Winnipeg Jets are winners of two in a row and four of their last five, but I think they're in for a tough game here when hosting Boston Friday night. The Bruins had won three on the bounce before taking a loss as an underdog at Minnesota in their last game. The Bruins are great at snapping back from losses and for the season they are 7-1 as road favorites off a loss.

10* play on Boston Bruins. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK 

This is a solid revenge spot for the Los Angeles Kings after getting defeated by the Sharks in a shootout a couple of days ago. They outshot the Sharks 36-30 and were the better team for most of the game. The Kings are 12-2 in their last 14 vs. a team with a losing record, 9-1 in their last 10 road games and 6-1 in their last 7 games as a favorite. The Sharks are 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win and 1-9 in their last 10 games as a home underdog.

10* play on Winnipeg Jets. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a solid get right spot for the Minnesota Wild after losing six of their last seven. Only two of these losses came at home. The Wild are a solid 16-7 home at Xcel Energy Center on the season and the Rangers are only 5-10 as road underdogs. The Rangers are coming off three straight wins, and I would be surprised if they come out flat tonight. 

8* play on Minnesota Wild. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PUCKLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

The New York Islanders are 1-7 SU and 4-4 against the puckline as home underdogs on the season. The Colorado Avalanche are 8-2 SU and 7-3 against the puckline as road favorite os minimum -180. The Havs have struggled when taking on the Islanders on the road in recent seasons, but they last played here back in early 2020. The Avs won the first meeting of the season 5-3 at home and I expect them to win by at least two on the road as well. 

10* play on Colorado Avalanche -1.5. 

MIKE'S SUNDAY AFTERNOON NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Los Angeles Kings are 8-2 SU as road favorites. The Buffalo Sabres are 8-16 straight up as home underdogs. They had lost seven straight games before recording back-to-back upset wins against Toronto and Minnesota. They are 1-4 off back-to-back wins this season. 

8* play on Los Angeles Kings. 

MIKE'S SATURDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

This looks like a great spot to back Nashville off a disappointing loss to Seattle. Here they'll face a San Jose team that has won only two of its last 11 games and with little hope of making the playoffs. The Preds on the other hand are well in the race for a Western Conference playoff spot. 

8* play on Nashville Predators. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Arizona Coyotes are coming off a massive upset win against Colorado, but they are still only 7-21 as home underdogs on the season while the Senators are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a road favorite.

8* play on Los Angeles Kings. 

MIKE'S THURSDAY NIGHT NHL BIG HITTER

I love the Minnesota Wild here as they look to put an end to an ugly four-game slide. They've been underdogs in the last three, and I expect them to come out firing here as sizeable favorites against one of the worst teams in the league. The Flyers are coming off a 3-0 loss to Edmonton. The Flyers are 2-12 in their last 14 games following a loss of three or more goals.

8* play on Minnesota Wild. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The New York Rangers have been one of the best home teams in the league this season, but I think they're in for a tough one when hosting St. Louis Wednesday night. The Blues have won four straight games, and they've had two days off since shutting out the Blackhawks on February 27. The Blues are 8-0 in their last 8 games playing on 2 days rest and 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in New York. The Rangers are coming off back-toback losses, and they've struggled to find the next in recent games. 

10* play on St. Louis Blues. 

LATE NIGHT BRUINS/DUCKS NHL PUCKLINE BOOKIE BREAKER

The Boston Bruins put a 7-0 beating on the Kings in LA Monday night. They are 3-1 SU and 2-2 against the puckline this season as a favorite playing on no rest. As we're getting nice plus-money odds on the puckline, I like our odds here, especially against a Ducks' team that is 1-4 against the puckline in its five as a home underdog. Additionally, this is a revenge spot for the Bruins after losing 5-3 when they took on the Ducks at TD Garden back in January. 

8* play on Boston Bruins. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Unlike Vegas a couple of seasons ago, the Seattle Kraken are having a tough time finding their footing during their inaugural season, and they are only 9-17-2 home at Climate Pledge Arena. They're coming into this game off five straight losses, and they lost all but one by two goals or more. The Bruins have had two full days off since an impressive 5-1 win against Colorado Monday night. Bruins are 9-2 in their last 11 games as a road favorite. Kraken are 1-9 in their last 10 games as a home underdog.

Arizona is the worst team in the West. Playing on home ice has not been much of an advantage either as evidenced by the Yotes' 6-18-0-1 home record. The Los Angeles Kings won 5-3 here in Arizona on Saturday, and they are a respectable 13-6-4-1 on the road for the season. Kings are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. a team with a losing record, 7-2 in their last 9 games as a favorite, and 4-1 in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

The Flyers will be playing on no rest after taking a 4-3 OT loss to Philadelphia last night. The Flyers are 3-14 in their last 17 games playing on 0 days rest and 2-9 in their last 11 home games.

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Montreal Canadiens are coming off a pair of wins as huge underdogs, but this looks like an extremely tough spot for the Habs who are asked to host Toronto on the tail-end of a back-to-back situation. Toronto has had a day off since taking a disappointing 6-3 home loss to St. Louis on Saturday. Maple Leafs are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals and 15-3 in their last 18 vs. Eastern Conference teams. 

8* play on Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5. 

Good spot to back the New York Rangers to bounce back from a 3-2 shootout loss to Detroit. They've had two full days to rest up and recover while the Sens are in a much, much tougher spot, playing on no rest and their third game in four nights. The Rangers are a solid 15-9-2 on the road this season and the Sens are only 9-14-1-1 home at Canadian Tire Centre.

The Dallas Stars are coming off an impressive 4-1 upset win at Colorado on Tuesday, and I like them to ride the momentum to another triumph against a Chicago team in a tough spot. The Stars are 4-0 in their last 4 games as a road favorite and 5-0 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record. The Blackhawks will be playing on no rest after taking a 7-4 loss to Columbus last night.

The New York Rangers are a solid 15-4-1-1 home at Madison Square Garden on the season and 7-1 in their last 8 home games. The Boston Bruins' road record is also rather impressive, but they are 4-10 in their last 14 games as an underdog. Boston has been inconsistent on the defensive end in recent games and the Rangers have the firepower to make them pay.

8* play on New York Rangers.

The Oilers snapped a two-game skid with a 3-1 victory over the Islanders on Friday.

The Minnesota Wild are a solid 14-7-0-2 on the road while Winnipeg is only 10-8-0-1 at home. The Jets stumbled into the All-Star break while the Wild are winners of six straight and nine of their last 10. 

Wild are 46-15 in their last 61 games as a favorite. Jets are 1-6 in their last 7 games as an underdog. Wild are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PUCKLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

The Edmonton Oilers are riding a four-game winning streak. In their last game, the Oilers put a 7-2 beating on Montreal, and I expect them to come out fired up for this one as well looking to avenge a 6-4 home loss to Ottawa a couple of weeks ago. Oilers are 12-2 in their last 14 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game. Senators are 3-11 in their last 14 games as a home underdog. Oilers are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings.

10* play on Edmonton Oilers -1.5. 

NHL MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S 10* PUCKLINE GAME OF THE MONTH

Great spot to fade the San Jose Sharks off a win as a +200 dog ta Washington. They're still only 1-7 in their last 8 games as an underdog and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings with Florida. 

The Panthers are steamrolling just about everyone that comes in their way. Of their last seven wins, only one was by fewer than two goals. 

10* play on Florida Panthers -1.5. 

MIKE'S TGIF NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The New York Rangers took a disappointing 5-3 loss at Columbus last night. They are on a five-game home winning streak, but I think they'll struggle with this red hot Wild team which has won six of its last seven and put an 8-2 beating on Montreal in its last game. Wild are 17-5 in their last 22 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. Wild are 43-15 in their last 58 games as a favorite.

8* play on Minnesota Wild. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PUCKLINE PLAY OF THE DAY

The Columbus Blue Jackets took a 6-0 beating by Calgary last night, and I think they'll get thumped by the Rangers as well here the following night.

The Rangers have a huge rest advantage as they've had two full days of rest since defeating the Kings in a shootout on Monday. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games playing on two days rest, 38-14 in their last 52 games as a favorite and 17-4 in their last 21 against Eastern Conference opponents. The Blue Jackets are 0-5 in their last 5 games as a home underdog and 2-8 in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest.

This will be the third meeting of the season. The Rangers won the previous two 4-0 and 5-3. 

10* play on New York Rangers -1.5. 

MIKE'S NHL PUCKLINE BOOKIE BREAKER

The Calgary Flames are coming off a dominant 7-1 win against St. Louis. Each of their last four wins has come by two goals or more and they are 6-2 in their last 8 games as a road favorite. The Blue Jackets took a 2-1 home loss as a favorite against Ottawa in their last game. Blue Jackets are 0-4 in their last 4 games as a home underdog and 1-7 in their last 8 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.

The Flames have scored 15 goals over their last three games, while Columbus has totaled seven goals over their last four.

This looks like a great spot to back the Nashville Predators who are going for a third straight win, and they have had two full days of rest since defeating Detroit 4-1 on Saturday. The Predators are 20-6 in their last 26 games playing on two days rest and 10-1 in their last 11 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. The Kraken are 1-8 in their last nine games as an underdog.

8* play on Nashville Predators. 

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE PUNISHER

The Colorado Avalanche have been outstanding home at Ball Arena all season. They're coming into this contest riding a six-game winning streak and I expect a big performance after only barely beating Montreal in OT as a -650 favorite in their last game. The Blackhawks are on a downward trend, coming off three straight losses. Colorado has won five of the last six meetings and won all but one of those five games by at least two goals. 

8* play on Colorado Avalanche. 

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Dallas Stars have had two days of rest since defeating Detroit 5-4 in overtime Friday night. The Stars are 10-3 in their last 13 games following a win, 8-3 in their last 11 vs. Eastern Conference. 

The Flyers are only 1-7 in their last 8 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game and 3-13 in their last 16 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game, which they are here coming off a 6-3 loss at Buffalo. 

8* play on Dallas Stars. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The LA Kings have allowed six goals in back-to-back games, and now they'll face the highest-scoring team in the NHL. The Avs are averaging 4.2 goals per game, and while they'll be playing on no rest after winning at Anahaim last night, I don't anticipate that to be an issue as the Avs are 8-1 in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest and 9-0 in their last 9 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. Additionally, the Avalanche are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.

10* play on Colorado Avalanche -1.5. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Kings are holding opponents to 2.5 goals per game on the season (5th), and they've allowed a total of only four goals through a four-game winning streak. The Sharks have scored one goal through their last two games and they are averaging only 2.7 goals per game. These two teams know each other very well and under is 15-6-7 in the last 28 meetings.

NHL MAJOR WAGER ALERT - MIKE'S TOP-RATED GAME OF THE WEEK

The New York Rangers have won four of their last six games. They come into this contest well rested and ready to snap back from a 3-1 loss to the Kings in their last game. Good bounce back spot here against a Sharks team they have defeated in each of the last six meetings. The  Rangers are 7-2 in their last 9 games playing on 2 days rest and the Sharks are 1-4 in their last 5 games as an underdog.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* WEDNESDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE PUNISHER

The slumping Kraken should not stand much of a chance here at Dallas Wednesday night. Seattle has lost six straight and eight of its last 10. Now it'll have to slow down a Dallas team that will be looking to snap back from a 2-1 loss to the Blues. The Stars had won four in a row prior to that loss. 

Stars are 9-1 in their last 10 games as a home favorite. Kraken are 2-7 in their last 9 games as a road underdog.
