Last night 2-1 +1.50 Units YTD 55-49-2 -1.63 Units
Well, at least we had a profitable night after a horrible Thursday night! Saturday brings us a typical big card with 13 games. The Jackets almost allowed for a perfect night with a tough loss at home but the Sabres are money at home! This weekend we have a ton of systems and trends that will come into play, so make sure you read all the info I post here to have a profitable weekend! Game notes below with a ton of info, make sure you read it all!
Bruins at Devils at 1 pm, NJ is great at home and Boston is terrible on the road. Both playing their 3rd in less than 5 nights, Devils have won 3 in a row without Dougie Hamilton too but have NYR on deck, pass for me. Slight lean to the under.
NYR at Columbus, Jackets off a loss at home to the Caps, while the Rangers at rested in CLB last night and haven't played since Monday night. Rangers big!
LA Kings playing 4th in 6 nights on the road, Kings have won 7 in a row too. But what a tough spot while the Jets have been on a homestand. Both teams have combined for 16 of 26 under the total this season. Jets big!
Florida playing 4th in 6 nights on the road too, while TB has been off since Tuesday night! Another terrific spot here, Lightning big!
Leafs at Sabres, both teams won last night but keep an eye on who starts in goal for both teams before betting this game. Buffalo off an emotional win over the Oilers and you know Leafs fans will invade Buffalo too! I'm guessing Craig Anderson is in goal for Buffalo, Leafs announced Joseph Woll will make his NHL debut in Buffalo!
Habs go on the road, where they are a horrible 1-5 against a Wings team that is 4-2-2 at home. Wings will want a little revenge after getting shutout in MTL less than 2 weeks ago. Strong lean Wings!
Pens at Sens in what should be an easy Pitt win, but usually I can see the Pens taking the Sens lightly due to 9 players out with covid and 4 injured. Ottawa lost 2 more defensemen last game to injury to go with 4 in the covid protocol so the defence is going to be young. Pens without a lot of big guns too. Pens -147 is too hard to pass up!
STL visits Carolina in a nice matchup as the Blues are 5-1 on the road, while the Canes are 5-1 at home. The Blues sat rested while the Flyers gave the Canes a tough physical game. Leans Blues here!
AZ played last night in Chicago while the Preds got much-needed rest as they are off a 6 game roadie. This game is a pass for me, Preds -294 is not worth it as they go back on the road for another 3 games, this is a bad spot for them and they could very well take the Yotes lightly. Yotes +235 looks nice!
The Stars sat nice and rested while the Flyers had a big physical game in Carolina last night. The Flyers win a game, lose a game this year. Dallas has been very disappointing this year, but they have been off since Wednesday and they get Philly in a nice spot. Lean Dallas here!
The Sharks get 7 players back from covid protocol but are playing their 3rd in 5 nights on the road. I can't figure out the Avs at all, they are playing average hockey, I am staying away from this one.
The Canucks got blown out by the Avs on Thursday night, while Vegas is playing so well without their stars winning 7 of their last 9 games. If the Canucks players have any pride, they bring it hard in Vegas. I think this is a bad spot for Vegas off a win against the Wild and Carolina on deck. Canucks are a small play for me, +130!
Minny is playing their 3rd in 4 nights on the road and is off a hard fought game in Vegas. They already lost in Seattle as the Kraken are a solid team at home. Seattle is off until Wednesday night, so you know they will sink a ton of energy into this one. Leans Seattle here. Both teams have combined for 16 of 25 games going over the total this season. Lean Seattle here -105, small fav at home tells you Vegas likes them!
The following numbers from last night were requested by all the Draft Kings reader's here, so I hope all of you that read the column daily can use them to your advantage - Total goals last night - 21(Home - 11/Road - 10) Total PP goals last night - 4 Total SH goals last night - 0 Favs were 3-2 last night, while under the total went 4-1 last night. **Another prop to try is empty-net goals, you would be surprised how many are scored each night as coaches tend to pull the goalie earlier than if down 1 or 2 goals.
