Only 3 games yesterday.
The Bruins were up 2-1 after the 2nd but the Rangers scored twice in the 3rd and held on for the 3-2 win. The Oilers beat the Blackhawks 4-3 in overtime and the Kings beat the Canadiens 6-3 with Fiala scoring twice and Warren Foegele scoring a penalty shot,
For tonight we have 9 games.
Utah vs Jackets
Utah is 4-4-2 in last 10 and 3 of their last 4 games needed overtime.
The Jackets have lost their last 2 games and are 5-4-1 in last 10.
They played less than a week ago with the Jackets winning 3-2 in OT.
Utah has gone 13-10-3 on the road and the Jackets have gone 17-5-3 at home.
I wanted to take the Jackets here but the data doesn’t support it.
Knights vs Devils
Both teams aren’t playing as well as they are capable of.
The Knights have lost 4 in a row and are a bad 2-5-3 in last 10. They are 12-11-3 on the road.
The Devils are 4-4-2 in last 10 and and 4 of those games needed extra time.
I just can’t back either team at the moment with the way both are playing.
Capitals vs Flyers
Caps continue to play well going 7-1-2 in last 10. 3 of those needed overtime.
The Flyers are on a 4 game losing skid and are 4-5-1 in last 10.
The Caps have gone 18-7-2 on the road and the Flyers are 12-12-1 at home
With the Flyers home record and being only a 4 game losing streak, I do like the Caps chances. And they have better numbers in CA/60, SF, SA, GF/60 and GA/60.

Senators vs Lightning
Just played each other on Tuesday so it’s an easy pass for me.
Hurricanes vs Wild
Both teams are on 2 game losing skids.
Canes are 6-3-1 in last 10 and 12-12-3 in the road.
The Wild are 4-6-0 in last 10 and at home they have gone 11-12-1.
Looking at these teams records based on where they are playing plus that they both are on 2 game losing skids and I feel better just avoiding this game.
Panthers vs Blues
Panthers are 6-4-0 in last 10 and 16-11-1 on the road.
The Blues are 4-5-1 last 10 and 11-13-2 at home.
The played in December with the Panthers winning 2-1 in overtime.
I do like the Panthers to win this game and it would need to be in regulation. Looking at the data and it’s on the Panthers side. They have a huge advantage in CF, SF/60, GF/60 and XGF/60.

Avalanche vs Flames
Avs are 4-5-1 in last 10, Flames are 5-5-0.
On the road the Avs have gone 15-12-0 and the Flames have gone 16-9-3 at home.
The Avs moved Rantanen which may end up being a major loss. MacKinnon can only do so much, Necas will help but the chemistry they had is hard time replace.
The Flames are in the playoff picture right behind the Avalanche in the final wild card spot. They’ll need to continue playing well as they 9th place Canucks are right behind them.
I think this game could go either way.
Leafs vs Kraken
Leafs are 5-5-0 in last 10 and have won their last 2 games. On the road they have gone 13-8-2.
The Kraken are on a 2 game losing skid and are 4-5-1 in last 10. At home they have gone 13-13-4.
The last played on Halloween with the Leafs winning that one 4-1.
I would lean towards a Leafs win but each time I tip them it seems to not come through or just isn’t an easy play.
Canucks vs Sharks
Nothing here.
Thank you Scott! Will definitely tail those picks. Canucks im regulatiom at 1.84 is something I’m looking at as well as the over 5.5 in the Flames game. Not too sure about those so would be appreciate some advice here. Greetings from Germany
