Last night 6-0 +8.12 Units YTD 71-53-2 +17.12 Units
After a huge card last night, we only have 3 games tonight and the matchups aren't anything to get excited about either! We have been red hot here lately but the info we use, the angles/systems, and trends are really starting to prove vital with our results as the season approaches the 20 game mark. I've hit a ton of parlays since Friday as well, last night was gold! Stay away from the huge favs of -200 or more, both lost last night with Pitt and STL losing at home to boot! Plus watch for the NYI on Saturday, they are finally done their 13 games on the road to start the season and now get to open their new building on Saturday night. I do appreciate all the IMs sent here at Hockeybuzz. Message me or leave a comment in the blog, as we have been generating great discussion in there. When playing teams these days, ride any team's win streak! While home teams and favs continue to dominate! Game notes for tonight are below.
Avs have been off since Saturday night as they visit Vancouver and let's not forget the Canucks were just thumped last week 7-1 by Colorado. Reporters have been quoted as saying that the environment in Vancouver is very toxic. Nucks have struggled at home while the Avs have very average on the road to start the year. Vancouver has lost 8 of their last 10 games but the last 3 losses have all been blowouts! Avs -155 as a small fav is enticing but I think I will pass on this game and not force the action.
Hawks have won 3 in a row, but all at home against AZ, Pittsburgh who had 8 players out plus their HC, and Nashville in OT. They haven't played since Friday and this game in Seattle is their only game this week as they are off again until Saturday in Edmonton on this 4 game west coast roadie. Chicago is 0-5-1 on the road while Seattle plays much better at home with a 3-4 record. The Kraken has lost 4 in a row and 6 of their last 7 games and has been off since Saturday. Small lean to Seattle here at -141, while 10 of their 13 games have gone over the total.
The caps played at Anaheim last night losing in OT while LA was resting, as the Kings are off a 4 game east coast roadie in which they won the first 3 games and lost the 4th in OT. Prior to the loss, they had won 7 in a row. The Kings have been off since Saturday and don't play again until this Saturday, so LA will sink a lot into the game tonight. The Kings are starting a 7 game homestand tonight and are a nifty 5-2 at home, but Washington is a good road with a 4-2-1 record. The Kings have gone under the total 11 of 15 games this season. Lean to LA +115, Caps are a small fav at -135, Vegas is looking for the public to bite on the small number with Washington.
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 - 56(Home - 33 /Road - 23) Total PP goals last night - 9 Total SH goals last night - 0 Favs were 8-3 last night, 27-4 the last 4 nights **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.
