4 games yesterday.
The Flyers beat the Hurricanes 3-1 for their 3rd straight win. The Oilers beat the Kraken 4-3 in overtime. The Oilers were down 3-1 after the 2nd but Kane scored the next 3 goals for the hat trick and the win.
The Avalanche scored early and often when they beat the Ducks 8-2. The Canucks beat the Isles 4-3 in overtime. The Isles were up 2-0 after the 1st and 3-2 after the 2nd.
9 games for us tonight so let’s get to it.
Red Wings vs Senators Betting Tips:
With this game being played in Sweden I really have no idea who wins.
Should be a good game though as both can score goals with the Wings ranked 4th in GPG with 3.67 and the Sens 3rd with 3.85.
It’s just tough to call with this game being played across the world where the effects of jet lag will surely play a role.
Devils vs Penguins Betting Tips:
Without Hughes the Devils have gone 1-3. In their last game the Pens beat the Jackets 5-3 and Crosby scored his 16th career hat trick.
It’s hard to back the Devils at the moment. They have lost 3 games in a row and their schedule doesn’t ease up for them until they play the Jackets on the 24th with games against the Rangers and Wings up next.
The Penguins are playing great winning their last 5 games straight outscoring the opposition 25-8. But their home record hasn’t been very good for them where they have gone 3-4 in Pittsburgh.
Both teams are averaging 3.64 GPG and the Devils are ranked 9th in shots and the Pens 1st. The Pens are allowing 2.63 goals per game and the Devils 3.86. So this may be a close game.
But they have to ride the momentum Crosby gave them in their last game. I need to take the Pens in regulation and looking back at their results this season they have had only one game go to overtime.

Knights vs Canadiens Betting Tips:
These teams played each other on October 30th with the Knights winning 3-2 in a shootout.
The Knights have been at the top of the standings for most of the year. They are scoring the 9th most goals per game and allowing the 3rd fewest.
The Habs have dropped their last 2 games and are 7-7-2 on the season.
I could see the Knights winning this game but my only concern is that the Canadiens have had 7 games go to extra time already and we would need to take the Knights in regulation to get the odds above our minimum.
Lightning vs Blackhawks Betting Tips:
The Lightning have lost 3 straight and are on the road here where they have gone 2-4-2.
The Hawks are starting to see just how special Bedard is and he is only going to get better.
The Hawks are 2-2 this month and beat the Lightning a week ago 5-3. I’m sure the Lightning will be looking for some revenge.
The Hawks have 5 wins this season and a few were against strong teams. They have won against the Leafs , Knights, Pens, Panthers and the Lightning. So they seem to be able to show up when they have no business doing so.
Coyotes vs Blue Jackets Betting Tips:
There isn’t anything I like from this game.
The Coyotes are 3-4-2 on the road, the Jackets are 3-5-1 at home.
I would lean towards the Coyotes to win as the Jackets have lost 6 in a row but 4 of those losses were on the road so a home game may be the motivation they need to snap this skid.
Canucks vs Flames Betting Tips:
The Canucks are playing on back to back days for the 3rd time this season. In the second game of the back to back they have lost the 2nd game.
The Flames are a team that I have no faith in at the moment.
I’m passing on this one due to the Canucks playing yesterday.
Islanders vs Kraken Betting Tips:
Either team is playing very well at the moment.
The Isles have lost their last 6 games straight and are 3-4-3 over last 10. They are ranked 30th in GPG scoring only 2.40 and are ranked 15th in GAPG allowing 3.20. It’s going to be tough to win with those numbers.
The Kraken played last night and lost in overtime. They are 2-3-2 this month. They are 29th in GPG and 25th in GAPG.
With both playing last night it’s an easy pass for me.
Blues vs Sharks Betting Tips:
Both teams are on streaks heading into this game.
The Blues have won their last 3 games and the Sharks have lost their last 3.
I would think that the Blues win this game but their road record hasn’t been that good so far this season going 2-3-1. They have had a good month though going 5-2.
I think it’s worth taking the Blues here. It needs to be in regulation and they have only had two games this season need extra time and that was the first 2 games of the season.

Panthers vs Kings Betting Tips:
The Panthers have been playing great winning their last 5 games in a row. In fact they are 6-1 in the month of November and have climbed into 2nd place in the Atlantic.
The Kings have lost their last 2 games but are 3-1-1 this month. They are in 3rd in the Pacific.
With the Panthers on this win streak I’m nervous to take the Kings. But the Kings are having a strong year statistically ranking 2nd in GPG, 6th in shots per game, 9th in GAPG and 3rd in SOGA.
I have to pass on this one. I want to take the Kings at home but I just can’t.
Sens vs Wings – this smells like a stack of goals no? Especially with this being played on European rink 13 feet wider so easier entries and less physical
Very accurate. 9 goals in the end!
The rink is NHL standard when they play these games in Sweden
Blue Jackets +105 half unit.
I might have to update the power rankings depending on the result. But the plus money on CBJ at home makes this worth a small play for me.
LAK -130. half unit
Kings are 7-0 Away and just 1-3-3 at home. I was debating whether the poor home record was enough to keep me off the Kings and am still unsure. However I do feel like the time off (their last game was Saturday) will give them a chance to reset and potentially put in a solid performance here.
I was a bit hesitant about this game myself, but I chose to go the other way with a Panthers win incl OT. The Panthers are on a streak, the Kings have been poor at home. I can’t not back the champs here. The Kings are bound to start winning home games sooner or later, but I think the Panthers are very hungry to beat the Kings again after losing their last 5 meetings, and it’s almost 4 years (Jan 2020) since they last beat the Kings.
Pens in regulation
Penguins are on a winning streak, Devils are on a losing streak, and the Penguins are at home. They should be correcting the home stats sooner or later. Devils are conceding too much. They don’t have a problem scoring, but against the Pens I think they’ll struggle more.
Knights -1.5
The Habs only have 1 regulation win at home, and only 1 loss with less than 1 goal. This sounds like a 2-5 or 3-5 game.
Hawks – Lightning over 6.5
Lightning’s been shutout twice in a row, so they’ll be hungry to start scoring again. I believe they’ll win this game, but I think there’s more value in the over here.
Canucks in regulation
They played last night, but they’ve been so impressive this season I can’t avoid backing them. The amount of goals they score, I don’t think the Flames can stop them tonight, even on a B2B.
Scott: I’m not sure if I misunderstood your comment, but didn’t the Canucks just play a B2B (Leafs loss away 1st game, Habs win away 2nd game)?
Blues -1.5
The Blues CAN score a lot. Against the Sharks most seem to do so. Don’t see this going any other way than a big Blues win.
Panthers incl OT
Sooner or later the Kings will start winning home games, but with them going losing 6 of 7 home games while the Panthers are on a roll, I’m gonna have to put some money on the Panthers.
I got everything wrong again.. Literally everything..
Story of my life buddy..LOL
