We had two over tips yesterday but both stayed under.
We had over 6 in the Lightning vs Bruins game but only one team showed up as the Bruins won 3-0. With the win the Bruins moved to within 2 points of the Lightning for first place in the East with a game in hand. This was the first time this season that the Lightning were shutout. David Backes left the game in the first period after getting cut above his knee which needed 18 stitches to be fixed.
We also had over 6 in the Canadiens vs Maple Leafs game. No Andersen, No Matthews No problem for the Leafs who won 4-0. This was the 12th straight home win for the Leafs. Andreas Johnsson scored his first NHL goal. It’s always nice to see someone get their first career goal but to see the excitement of his teammates for the rookie scoring his first is also a cool thing.
The playoffs are fast approaching. We have one team already clinched and 3 teams eliminated. Both of these numbers are going to increase with each passing day.
Stars vs Jets Betting Tips:
The Stars haven’t been able to get a win in their last 4 games and this losing skid is coming at a bad time. They are in the final wildcard spot but the 9th place Ducks are tied with them at 84 points.
The Jets are cruising along. They are in 2nd in the Central and it looks like they will be getting some key players back. Scheifele and Lowry are expected back as well as Enstrom.
This is the 4th meeting of these teams this season with the Jets winning the first 3 by a combined score of 14-6. I see that trend continuing.

Blues vs Blackhawks Betting Tips:
The Blues are seeing their playoff picture fade away and things aren’t going to be easier with news that Tarasenko is going to miss some time with an upper body injury. They’re in 10th in the West and 3 points behind the final wild card spot.
The Hawks have been garbage this year. But this is a huge rivalry game for them and they will show up for this one. They are all but eliminated from the playoffs and are now playing for pride and employment next year.
The last 4 games between these two teams have had high totals of 7, 6, 5 and 10.
