It was a 1-1 night for a loss last night. Tough week after a good opening to the season.
We had Sabres to win over the Rangers but the Rangers came to play and pulled out a big 6-2 win. They’ll be hoping they can bounce back too as they take on the hapless Detroit Red Wings tonight.
And hey we actually won a bet involving the Oilers! We had the over there and the Oilers were down 3-1 but mounted a comeback in the third period.
Six games on the board tonight. It’s been quite an interesting season so far. A lot of the teams that look to be in good spots for a win end up struggling or getting beat. While it’s tougher from a betting perspective, it does make watching the games more enjoyable.
Two plays tonight that I almost feel obligated to play based on the odds and the strengths of the teams I am backing.
Sabres vs Red Wings Betting Tips:
Sabres are on a back to back after a big loss. This happened just a week ago where they got thumped by the Ducks 5-2, then came back the next night to beat the LA Kings 3-0.
I’m hoping for more of the same.
Red Wings are on a losing streak and they’ll be fighting to get the win here of course. That Sens loss must have hurt them. But Sabres have shown that they are a better team. Their offense is very talented and the Red Wings don’t look good defensively.
Their xGA is quite high and while Sabres aren’t super high on the xGF list they take the most of their chances and so should have no problem getting past the Wings tonight.
A little gun shy after the last week though so we’ll go with a smaller play.
0.5u on Sabres to win incl OT/SO.

Avalanche vs Knights Betting Tips:
I just can’t ignore the value on the Avs here.
They have been excellent all season long other than that disappointing Blues result. MacKinnon is killing it and they are rested.
The loss of Rantanen obviously hurts. Vegas at home doesn’t hurt too much as they haven’t been super impressive here.
This is just one of those bets that I think the odds dictate I’ve got to take it.
Avs win incl OT/SO – 0.5u
