Last night 6-2 +5.05 Units YTD 45-37-2 +4.91 Units
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 - 76(Home -40/Road - 36) Total PP goals last night - 15 Total SH goals last night - Zero **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. Favs were 7-5 tonight, while over the total was 9-3 tonight.
Seattle and SJ ruined a perfect day/night! Kraken lose after going up 2-0 in the first minute of the game! While the Sharks blew a late lead only to lose in a shootout. But I can't complain as many of our trends and systems are really starting to hit for us! Boston and Colorado are without their goaltenders from last year and it shows in the early part of the season!
Vegas playing 4 in 6 nights on the road, I can't see Lehner starting in goal for the Knights. Detroit on the other hand comes after playing 3 games in 5 nights on the road. Lean Detroit with a depleted Knights lineup plus more of a lean to the Wings if Lehner isn't in goal! Wings are a dog too, go figure!
Preds playing their 4th in 6 nights on the road. Hawks have a new HC and over the years playing the new coaching angle when a team plays their 1st game after their HC was fired has been extremely profitable over the years. Chicago is the play here with a tired Preds team in town.
NYI is playing their best hockey of the season after a slow start, but it's the Isles 3rd game in 4 nights on the road. Wild have only played once since Saturday which was a 5-4 shootout win over Pitt last night. Minnesota 3-1 at home, lean to the Wild.
Blues are 4-1 on the road and Ducks are 3-0 on this homestand after losing 6 straight. Both teams tend to go over the total more this season, slight lean to the over. Lean to the Blues.
Stars on a 3 game roadie but have been off since Thursday. Dallas has been tough to get a read on but the Canucks are even tougher to figure out going 1-4 on their current homestand, no play for me.
