There was 2 games yesterday and we avoided having tips.
The Rangers beat the Leafs 5-3. I was put off of tipping the Over 7 so of course it hit 8. The Leafs scored first in the 1st but the Rangers answered with 3 of their own. Matthews scored twice in the game to bring his season total to 39.
The Bruins vs Blackhawks game was a close one. The Hawks scored the first goal in the 2nd period and the Bruins answered that 6 minutes later and that was all the goals in regulation time for this game. Charlie McAvoy scored the winner in overtime for Boston and this was also his first goal of the season.
The Leafs traded Trevor Moore, a third-round pick in 2020, and a conditional third-round selection in 2021 to the Los Angeles Kings for goalie Jack Campbell and Kyle Clifford. This should help the Leafs as they were looking for a new backup goaltender. And adding Clifford will help the Leafs in the physical department.
A much busier night of hockey with 12 games scheduled.
Kings vs Islanders Betting Tips
The Kings have started to move some players out with Campbell and Clifford going to Toronto. They are 2-7-1 over their last 10 games and sit in last place in the Pacific and the Western Conference. The only team behind them in the league is the Red Wings.
The Islanders are in 4th place in the Metro and currently hold the 1st wild card spot.
With 66 points the Isles need to improve as there are 3 teams behind them within 3 points and things change fast in the NHL. They need to win againat struggling teams like the Kings when they get the chance.

Avalanche vs Senators Betting Tips
The Avalanche are in 3rd place in the Central and with the 2nd place Stars not playing today they could jump ahead of them in the standings as there is only 1 point separating them.
The Sens are 2-2-6 over their last 10 games.
Its the 6 overtime losses for Ottawa that has me worried about taking the Avs in regulation.
The Avs are the number 1 ranked team in GPG averaging 3.69. The Sens are allowing 3.28 goals against per game.
Over 6.5 incl OT/SO – 0.5u

Canucks vs Wild Betting Tips
The Canucks have gone 7-2-1 and have jumped into 1st place in the Pacific Division. They have lost their last 2 games so will be looking to get back on track and stretch their lead in the Pacific.
The Wild have gone 4-5-1 over their last 10 and sit in 7th place in the Central Division.
The Canucks have looked good recently and I’ll back them in this game.
Canucks win incl OT/SO – 0.5u
