Auston Matthews made his return to the NHL last night after a few weeks layoff from injury. It helped boost the Leafs to a 5-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks as he scored twice. Tavares also scored twice. Leafs fans will be pumped no doubt going forward.
Our tip of the Flames winning didn’t pan out. A rare loss for Rittich as the Stars come alive on the road out of nowhere. Disappointing result from the Flames as their defense looked shaky but they still looked solid despite the loss and had the chance to sneak the win a few times.
The Avs make it 6 wins in a row as the Penguins lose again. Crosby got a hat trick and that resulted in nothing as the Avs still ran out 6-3 winners.
8 games tonight although feels like a tough night. Quite a few games that get a big “NOPE” from me at initial glance.
Lightning vs Sabres Betting Tips:
This is really more of a gut play than anything else but I think the Buffalo Sabres streak ends tonight, and it ends in regulation.
Sabres have did a great job thus far. However a streak like this – which all of the hockey world is watching – has to be motivating to the Tampa Bay Lightning. On top of that Tampa lost 2-1 to Buffalo a couple of weeks ago and I’d think that’d motivate them too.
Looking at the metrics, Buffalo are performing above themselves. In saying that, Tampa are too ha.
Tampa are coming off that loss to the Ducks. Their offense doesn’t enjoy being contained and they usually go out fast and hard the following game.
If the Sabres pull it off again – props to them – but I gotta go with the gut here.
Tampa to win in Regulation: 0.5u
Canada: 1.90 Odds at Bovada.
Everyone Else: 1.89 Odds at Mr. Green

Predators vs Coyotes Betting Tips:
Not sure who will be in net for the Coyotes tonight but Hill is most likely.
Preds are coming into this one off a 3-2 loss to the Avs. They lost to the Coyotes last time out and I think they’ll be out for revenge tonight. Coyotes have one of the worst NHL offenses going up against the best NHL defence. Preds struggled against the Avs PP but the Coyotes also have a bad PP so shouldn’t be a big deal.
Gotta go with the Preds to bounce back.
Predators to win in Regulation: 1u
Canada: 1.70 Odds at BetOnline..
USA: Unfortunately at the price I’d say a no play. Best I can see is -150 Odds at Bovada.
Everyone Else: 1.70 Odds at BetOnline..
