4 games yesterday.
Had one tip of over 6 in the Caps vs Sabres game and it was a win. This game went into OT tied 3-3 and it was the Sabres winning 4-3 in a shootout.
The Habs beat the Canucks 4-3 in overtime and Miller’s scored 2 and had 2 helpers in the loss. The Avalanche beat the Panthers 3-1 and the Devils beat the Kraken 3-2.
10 games for us tonight.
Jackets vs Penguins
The records of these teams is incredibly close with the Jackets going 17-17-6 and in 5th in the Metro. The Penguins are 17-17-7 and in 4th in the Metro.
They are tied for 31st in GAPG.
I could make a case for each team here so I’m skipping.
Oilers vs Bruins
Oilers playing well winning last 3 game and going 7-2-1 last 10. On the road they’ve gone 10-5-2.
The Bruins are slumping going 4-4-2 and on a 4 game skid. At home they have played well going 12-6-3.
The Bruins home record is how they have played all season. But with them slumping it’s hard to use that as strong point for them right now.
Would need to take the visiting Oilers in regulation here and the data doesn’t really support that.
Stars vs Rangers
Stars are on a tear right now. They are 7-2-1 last 10, have won 4 in a row. For as good as season as they have had, their road record is pretty bad going 8-8-0.
The Rangers home record is 8-9-1. They are 3-7 in last 10 and 1-3 in the 4 games before that.
I wanted to take the Stars here and it would have to be in regulation. Looking at the Rangers play it seemed OK but the Stars road record scared me off.
Senators vs Red Wings
Wings have won 4 in a row but their home record isn’t the best going 9-10-2 in Detroit.
The Sens have a similar road record of 9-11-1. They have lost 2 straight and are 6-4 last 10.
6th vs 7th in the Atlantic and I could see this going either way.
Hurricanes vs Lightning
Big game here.
The Canes are 5-4-1 in last 10 and are in 3rd in the Metro.
The Lightning are 5-5 and on a 4 game losing skid. They are in 4th in the Atlantic
Odds for this are pretty much coin toss and I agree as I could see this going either way.
Leafs vs Flyers
Leafs are playing well winning their last 4 games and going 7-3 in last 10. They’re 9-6-2 on the road.
Flyers are 3-6-1 in last 10 and on 2 game losing skid. At home they have gone 8-9-1.
The Leafs have better GF/60, GA/60 and SF/60. With the data and the Flyers play of late I’ll go with the Leafs here.
Leafs win incl OT/SO

Blues vs Wild
Wild on a 3 game win streak and are in 2nd in the Central and have a chance to tie the Jets who are in 1st place but have also played one more game than they have.
The Blues are 19-18-4 which has them in 5th in the Central.
Looking at the records for each team based on where they play and it’s not helping pick a winner here as the Blues have gone 11-9-3 on the road and the Wild are 10-8-1.
Not really liking either team here.
Predators vs Jets
I’m still off of the Predators.
The Jets have lost 3 in a row, the last 2 not against strong teams with the Red Wings and the Ducks.
Easy pass for me here.
Flames vs Ducks
Either team has given me a reason to back them.
The Flames are in 5th in the Pacific and the Ducks 6th. Just nothing l see here.
Knights vs Sharks
Knights playing well right now. They’re 8-2 in last 10 and in 1st in the Pacific.
The Sharks are 2-7-1 in last 10 and in 8th in the Pacific. They have won their last 2 games though.
This is the 3rd game between these two with the Knights winning the first 2 7-3 in October and 6-3 last month.
The Knights have the advantage in all categories. They are shooting more and allowing less and scoring much more and allowing less. Even the expected goal numbers are strongly in the Knights favor.
Knights -1.5

Ducks are on the up and i like the way they are playing. Have you not seen who they’ve managed to beat or nearly beat last 6 games? Good value at home too but what the fucj do i know haha also -1.5 jets is also a no brainer but what do I know haha
Dallas vs Rangers OVER 5.5 at -155
This is an alternate line. I do think the game can go Over 6.5, but I like the added insurance taking this a goal lower.
St. Louis vs Minnesota UNDER 5.5 -115
St. Louis offense has been scoring but they can also tend to disappear at times. I believe they’ve overachieved a bit recently. They face a tougher opponent here on the road. Minnesota still is without Kaprizov. Goals might be hard to come by in this game.
Winnipeg -146
Couldn’t really understand why this line opened so low. I might be missing something.
Winnipeg Vilardi to score +220
I don’t think him or Connor to score at +125 are bad options. Connor to record an assist at even money is another possible option.
Good evening from Germany again,
2 out of 4 goal-scorer came in yesterday, thanks to Dach and Thompson.
For today I am going with Knies and Bunting.
Good luck with your bets, everyone!
Awesome calls today. Your picks yesterday were solid too.
