It’s February already?
We had only one tip yesterday and that was the Hurricanes to beat the Stars if Reimer was in goal. Reimer got the start and the Canes won 4-3 in a shootout. This was a great game and a close one.
The Hawks snapped their losing streak after 3 games when they beat the Blue Jackets 3-1. The Flyers won their 4th in a row when they beat the Isles 4-3 in overtime thanks to Joel Farabee who scored his first career hat trick.
The Sens vs Oilers game was crazy and the Oilers won 8-5. The Oilers led 5-3 after the 1st. It took all of 8 seconds for the Oilers to strike first. The Oilers scored 3 more in the 2nd for the 8-3 lead and the Sens got back 2 of their own in the 3rd. McDavid had a goal and 4 assists, Draisaitl had 6 assists and the two lead the league in points after the 1st month with 22 and 21. 3rd place in the points race is MacKinnon with 14. The Sens actually had the shot advantage in the game 38-31.
Well one month into the season and we have the Capitals, Leafs and Flyers all tied for 1st overall with 15 points. In last its the Senators who have only 3 points.
For today we have 5 games scheduled but only 1 tip.
February 1st, 2021 NHL Betting Tips:
Canucks vs Canadiens
These teams are tied for 2nd place in the North Divison with 12 points but Montreal has played 3 fewer games.
The Canucks have won their last 4 games, 3 of those was against the Sens, so they will be looking to keep the momentum going. The Habs lost their last game but Markstrom was incredible for the Flames in the loss.
They played 3 times already and all 3 went over: Canucks won 6-5 in a shootout, Habs won 7-3 and won again 5-3. In GPG the Canucks are ranked 6th with 3.55 and the Habs 1st with 4.13. Both are in the bottom half of the league in GAPG.
All signs point to an over. And with the 3 games played between them already I like that to continue

(Odds correct as of 2021/02/01 9:47:11 AM EST but are subject to change.)
Penguins vs Rangers
Tough to call here. The Penguins are 4-0 at home but 1-3-1 on the road. Of their 9 games played so far this season 5 of them needed extra time.
Rangers had lost 4 in a row, won one in OT and then lost again. Not a fan of either team here and have no confidence in them.
Predators vs Lightning
The Lightning are the favorites here but their record doesn’t give me much confidence in them. 2 of their wins came agaisnt the Blackhawks, another was in OT against the Jackets. The Predators also beat the Hawks twice and Jackets once. Two of their losses came against the Stars when they were on fire. Not liking anything here
Bruins vs Capitals
The Bruins are the favorites here but they are another team that are tough to pick. So far they have played 8 games and 5 of them needed extra time to be completed. The Capitals have won 4 in a row despite missing some key pieces during that stretch. But those wins were against the Sabres and the Isles. When a better team is involved who knows who will win the game.
Flames vs Jets
Should be a good game but there is nothing I like. Flames won their last game thanks to Markstrom and his monster performance. The Jets won 3 in a row against the Sens and are 1-2 since.
