5 games yesterday
The Rangers won their 2nd game in 3 days after shitting the bed for about a month when they beat the Blackhawks 6-2.
Canes beat the Penguins 4-3 in OT, the Isles beat the Bruins 5-4 in overtime with Barzal scored twice for the Isles and Pasta scoring 2 for Bruins.
Only 4 games today.
Capitals vs Sabres
Ovechkin just keeps doing his thing. He has 19 goals this season and is now only 23 away from breaking Gretzky’s record.
The Sabres have lost 3 games in a row and are 3-6-1 last 10. On the road the Caps are 13-6-0 and the Sabres are 7-10-3 at home
This is the 2nd game between these teams with the Caps winning the first one 4-2.
With the over/under at 6 I’m going with it.
Caps are ranked #1 in GPG and the Sabres are 27th in GAPG
Over 6 incl OT/SO

Canucks vs Canadiens
There is a story now that the Canucks are shopping both Miller and Pettersson. If they do to through with this it would really deplete them at the center position. And if this is true at all then it is really saying something about the state of the teams dressing room. A 26 year old 5th overall pick with a 100 point season on his resume and a 31 year old 1st round pick also with a 100 point season and who is averaging 94 points per season over the last 3, teams generally hold on to players like this for as long as possible.
The Habs have beaten the last 4 cup winners during a 5 game road trip which is pretty crazy considering the season they have had.
Miller and Pettersson have both denied that there is any rift between them so they may step up their game to show the organization that all is well and things can continue.
I think that if there is drama with the Canucks it could work 1 of 2 ways: destroy any chance thay have or see them come together and get past this bullshit. I’m staying away.
Panthers vs Avalanche
Should be a good game here.
The Panthers are 6-4 in last 10, 24-14-2 and in 2nd in the Atlantic. The Avs are 7-2-1 in last 24-15-1 and in 4th in the Central. On the road the Panthers are 12-6-1 and at home the Avs have a similar records going 11-8-1.
They played back on November 23rd and the avs won that 7-4.
For me I see these teams as two of the better ones in the league so far.
All data is close between these two. So much so that it’s making it real tricky to find a winner.
Devils vs Kraken
The Devils are 5-5 in last 10 and on a 4 game losing skid.
The Kraken are 3-6-1 in last 10 and also on a skid, their is only 2 games.
If I was to pick a team it would be the Devils. But that would have to be in at least regulation to get it over our 1.70 minimum.
With the way both teams are playing it’s fairly easy, for me at least, to just skip it.
Suzuki, Barkov & Strome o0,5pts @3.66 odds.
Good evening from Germany,
1-2 yesterday for me, when o6.0 in the Hurricane game came. Bedard nice assist, but unfortunately no goal and the Bruins can’t stop their losing streak.
For today I am going with a goalscorer bet in each game.
Thompson for Sabres
Dach for Habs
Colton for Avs
and Stephenson for Kraken.
Have a nice day and evening, everyone and all the best with your bets!
Hello Germany from Canada!
To WIN moneyline: Washington
Ovechkin OVER 0.5 Points
Strong Lean: Montreal’s Caufield OVER 0.5 Points
Many games I’m not touching. I’d bet Montreal to WIN, except they’re just off a long road trip and had one day off after a back-to-back with extensive travel, so they’re exhausted and are SO in need of the three days off after this. Vancouver is still dealing with critical players out injured and the 3-hour time difference won’t help.
