We had 1 tip yesterday and and it came through for us with ease.
Graeme had the Canes to win in regulation and they did 6-0. The Canes looked amazing in the win outshooting the Lightning 38-14. The Lightning have picked a bad time to go on a skid and they have dropped their last 5.
The Flyers beat the Red Wings 3-1 and for the Wings this was their 6 loss in a row and are 6 points out now.
The Knights were up 3-0 after the 2nd and the Habs made a push but came up short when the Knights won 4-3. Barbashev scored twice and Quick got his first start and win.
The Coyotes almost beat the Devils. They were down 4-2 and tied it in the 3rd but Hischier scored the winner 5-4 in overtime.
6 games for us tonight.
Sharks vs Jets
The Sharks are playing like crap losing their last 5 games and now are on the road to take on the Jets.
The Jets haven’t been particularly good over their last 10 going 3-6-1. But they do have a decent home record going 21-10-1 in Winnipeg.
The Jets are in the 8th and final wild card spot with 74 points in 63 games but the 3rd place Avalanche are ahead of them with 74 points in 61 games. The Jets need to win games like this against the slumping Sharks to move back into 3rd.

Oilers vs Sabres
After looking at the numbers for these teams I had liked the over.
The Oilers are ranked 1st in GPG with 3.88 and the Sabres are 3rd with 3.74. And another reason I like the over is the goals against for both teams. The Oilers are ranked 21st allowing 3.31 and the Sabres are 25th allowing 3.56.
The Oilers are currently in 7th with 76 points and the 3rd in the Pacific Kraken have 78. They can move into 3rd if they go on a run or further up as the Knights lead the divison with 82.
The Sabres have 68 points which is only 3 back of the Penguins. If they can play well over the next few games they could find themselves close to, if not in, a playoff spot.
Both teams have lots to play for. Skinner is expected to start so that may kill this tip if he has one of his games but I still think there is enough to make a play on the over.

Flames vs Stars
Two teams on opposite streaks here. The Flames have dropped their last 5 straight and the Stars have won 3 in a row.
Flames coach Sutter said “I’d boo too” after their poor showing against the Wild.
The Stars last win was a big one when they beat the Avalanche 7-3 but the 2 before were against bottom of the league teams the Coyotes and Blackhawks.
I would think the Stars would win here but the Flames should have a better showing here as their fans and coach have had enough. I’m skipping.
Senators vs Blackhawks
I like the Sens to win here but it comes down to home many they will win by.
They have been playing amazing of late winning 5 straight and are now only 3 points out of the playoffs.
We would need to take the Sens to win by at least 2. Their road record isn’t that good but with them riding the momentum it probably will happen. The last time they played the Hawks won 4-3 in OT and looking back the Hawks have won the last 9 vs the Sens overall.
I do like the Sens to continue their win streak but I can’t pull the trigger on a -1.5 play.
Predators vs Canucks
The Preds are 6 points out of the playoffs and the Canucks 19.
Either team gives me much confidence so it’s an easy pass here.
Capitals vs Kings
The Caps won big in their last game 8-2. It was against the Sharks so not a huge accomplishment but with the way they have been playing recently they need a way to try and salvage their season.
The Kings have won 3 in a row and are now in 2nd place in the Pacific with 80 points, only 2 back of the Knights and 2 ahead of the Kraken.
The Caps are in a fight with 3 other teams who all have 68 points; the Sabres, Senators and Panthers. The Penguins have 71 and are in 8th so if they think and want a shot at the postseason they need to play like it and tonight’s game might show us that. I have to pass on this game until I see what the Caps plans are.
Thanks Scott
Buffalo Dahlin +300
Calgary Lindholm +220
Ottawa DeBrincat +130
I liked the winnipeg regulation as well. San Jose has another road game in Colorado tomorrow as well. And are also inserting a lot of young players in the lineup making this a difficult spot for them.
Jets going with Rittich made me pass on it , though maybe I’m making too big a deal of him starting. Also even though I liked the Jets there are two guys on the Sharks I contemplated picking to score. One was Hertl +220 the other being Andreas Johnsson at +370. Ultimately probably gonna pass on betting either, but will personally watch it with interest to see if one of them can net one.
I was also thinking of an Edmonton defenseman but couldn’t narrow it down between 3 options and Hyman at +125. The three were Bouchard +340, Ekholm +500 and Ceci +1200. Gonna just stick with Dahlin in that game as it ultimately felt like too big a reach. Also would hate to choose one and have it potentially be one of the other two.
