13 games yesterday and I went 0-2 with the tips.
I had over 6 in the Lightning vs Capitals game and this only hit 4 when the Lightning won 3-1. Ovechkin scored the Caps goal and is now 11 from the once thought untouchable record.
Also had the Jets to win in regulation against the Flyers and ,yep you guessed it, the Flyers won 2-1 in a shootout.
The Jackets beat the Wings 5-3 in the Stadium Series game. Graeme sent me a picture and it looked like he had great seats.
6 games today. A bunch of the teams playing played yesterday but let’s see if we can find anything.
Leafs vs Penguins
Leafs are playing well winning their last 4 games straight and going 7-3-0 in last 10. On the road they have gone 17-9-2.
The Pens played yesterday and lost 3-2 to the Bruins. They are 4-5-1 in last 10 and 14-13-4 at home.
The Panthers winning yesterday pushed the Leafs into 2nd place so I would expect a big effort from them here. Taking them would have to be a regulation play and the numbers don’t support that enough for me.
Bruins vs Wild
Bruins played yesterday and won 3-2 against the Penguins.
The Wild are on a 3 game losing skid. They need to find a way to have success without Kaprizov as they are in a fight to keep their position in the standings.
Bruins playing yesterday and the Wild on a skid I’m passing on this game.
Flames vs Hurricanes
Both teams played yesterday so I’m passing.
Blues vs Stars
Blues played yesterday against the Kings and won 4-1.
The Stars are 7-2-1 in last 10 and comfortably in 2nd in the Central. At home they have gone 21-7-1.
The Stars lead in most categories but not overwhelming so. Would need to take them in regulation and I would like the numbers to be more firmly on their side for that.
Predators vs Rangers
Predators played yesterday and lost. But I wouldn’t take them either way.
The Rangers are 5-5 in last 10 and 14-13-2 at home. They are on a the outside of the playoff picture.
Would lean a Rangers win but would need to be in regulation and not really feeling that.
Devils vs Knights
Devils played yesterday.
The Knights are 5-3-2 in last 10 and 21-6-3 at home. They are in 1st in the Pacific.
They’ve played once this season and the Knights won 3-1.
Should be a good game and the 2 points are crucial for both teams in the standings.
Full game OVER 5.0: Blues/Dallas
To WIN moneyline: Vegas
Win reverse puckline of +1.5: Flames
Lean: Vegas wins puckline -1.5
Tough pickings as usual for a Sunday. Carolina is in a rut and the Flames are improving and need points. I see the Flames putting on a good show in this situation. Wolf vs Kochetkov? I take Wolf. Double back-to-back, but the Flames are far hungrier in the playoff race.
Watch for Jersey to lose against Dallas on Tuesday, with their Vegas hangover. Vegas has two days off after this game. Sweet scheduling: Vegas should wipe out New Jersey in this situation. At home, on two days rest, Jersey on a back-to-back, and when Jersey loses against better teams they often lose on the puckline.
