We went 1-1 with the tips yesterday.
Our win was the tip of the Lightning to win against the Avalanche. This was a close one but it was the Lightning winning 4-3 in overtime. This was the 11th straight win, a franchise record, for the Lightning and for the Avs this was their 3rd loss in a row. Not only are the Avalanche dealing with having their starting goalie out but Mikko Rantanen left the game in the 2nd period and coach Bedard said “He will be out weeks”. Just another huge loss for them.
The loss was the tip of the Capitals to beat the Golden Knights. The Knights were up 3-0 after 2 periods. In the 3rd Oshie scored twice for the Caps but the Knights held them off for the win. Ovechkin played over 21 minutes and had 4 shots on goal. They have lost 2 straight and have gone 4-6 over their last 10. It seems as though the 2 goals Ovi needs to reach 700 is really messing with the whole team.
The Panthers picked up the 5-3 win against the Sharks. This was a big win for the Panthers as they had lost 6 of 7 but the win moved them within 2 points of the 3rd place Maple Leafs.
The Canucks have acquired Tyler Toffoli from the Kings. The Canucks announced that Brock Boeser will be out at least 3 weeks and Ferland is done for the season. Bringing in Toffoli will help to ease the losses for Vancouver as they try and stay in the playoff picture where they are currently in 3rd in the Pacific.
A busy night with 7 games. Despite there being a decent number of games, we could only come up with 1 tip.
Sabres vs Senators Betting Tips
The Sabres have won 3 in a row and still have a shot, a long one, at making the playoffs. They currently sit 9 points out of the wild card but have won 3 in a row.
The Senators sit 20 points back of the wild card spot.
If the Sabres are to make a push to get into the playoffs then they will need to win games like this one against the Sens.
The Sens have won the last 2 games against Buffalo but with the Sabres still having a shot and having momentum I’ll back them for this game.
Sabres win incl OT/SO – 0.5u
