2-1 last night and it was my team, the Blackhawks, that cost us a perfect night.
We had them to win in regulation but these teams traded goals and it ended in a 3-2 Blackhawks win in a shootout
We had over 5.5 in the Capitals vs Lightning game. Both Ovechkin and Stamkos scored in this one but it was the Caps coming away with the 5-3 win.
We had under 5 goals in the Preds vs Avalanche game where the Preds won 3-0 thanks to Pekka Rinne and his 26 save shutout.
After losing to the Oilers the Sharks sent them back in to the loss column winning 5-2, the Leafs beat the Flames 4-1 and the Buffalo Sabres did it again. This time the Sabres beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0.
After a nice full night of hockey we only get two game tonight. The Leafs are in Detroit to take on the Red Wings and Oilers stay in California to take on the Ducks.
Only one tip for tonight so let’s get to it.
Oilers vs Ducks Betting Tips
This is the first of four games between these two teams. It’s also the first part of a home and home series with game 2 taking place on Friday.
The Ducks beat the Oilers 3-2 in the 5 games they played last year. In those 5 games there were plenty of goals going up on the board. 5, 7, 7, 5 & 6 were the goal totals
Corey Perry is going to miss the next 3-4 with a sprained knee he suffered in the game against the Minnesota Wild. But even without Perry the Ducks won’t have a problem scoring on a tired Oilers team who played last night
We like the Ducks to win but there isn’t any value there.
So let’s go with Over 5.5 for 1.87 at http://www.5Dimes.eu for Americans(Need to register to see lines) and and http://www.Bet365.com for everyone else.
2.70 odds on a Maple Leaf team that is playing rather good. Bernier is on fire and clearly our number 1 now so Reimer might be driven to drive his stock up and showcase himself to the rest of the league. They are on the later half of a back to back with a rested Wings team, but the odds are too great for me not to sprinkle a little something something.
Did you guys have a particular opinion on this game?
