Last night 2-2 -1.10 Units
YTD 127-90-2 +50.11 Units

Road teams were 7-3 last night as were the favs at 7-3 and games going over the total were 7-3! One of those odd nights for sure. NYI finally won for us breaking their 11 game losing streak, but I wish I had hit it for more units. Isles got up 5-1, then took the pedal off the gas. The 5-3 final makes it look closer than this game really was as Ottawa faded as the game went on due to the tough spot they were in playing 5 games in 7 nights. The Blues got it done at home as the Panthers continue their road woes. The Jets are tough to get a read lately, I also wonder if they had a letdown after the Leafs win as they really seemed to sink a lot of emotional and physical energy into that game. Calgary got up 3-1 and completely outplayed SJ, outshot them badly too, but Aiden Hill stood on his head and the Sharks had a strong 2nd period, to go with 2PPG and Hertl's hat trick. These last few nights we can't seem to catch a break. I did play the Wild last minute as I had them as one of my leans but didn't get online in time to update the blog, so I won't count it in my record. We only have a 4 game card tonight with the game analysis is below for tonight's games.

**Hart/Blackwood confirmed goalies**
The Flyers have lost 9 in a row and last game out the Avs crushed them with special play, SHG and PPG did Philly in. Interim HC Mike Yeo should give this team a lift, so slight lean here at -125 as he now has had the chance to have a full practice with the team since the first loss under his leadership. NJ has lost 4 in a row and 9 of their last 11 games. So both teams are struggling with NJ beating the Flyers 2 weeks ago on home ice. Very small lean to the Flyers +125.

**Kuemper/Huska confirmed goalies**
The NY Rangers have won 7 in a row and 11 of their last 12 games, they are beyond the hottest in the NHL right now. The Rangers are 8-1-1 at home vs. Colorado's road record of 6-5-1, but NYR are 5-5 against this West this season. Plus they played last night while Colorado rested up nicely as they are on a tough roadie as tonight is their 5th game in 8 nights on the road. They are without Kuemper in goal and are 2-2 on this road trip as they aren't getting the goaltending having been involved in a lot of high-scoring games. But the Avs are favoured -145 while the Rangers are +125. This line makes no sense to me, the Rangers are easily the better team this season and it looks like Vegas is putting a lot of stock into NYR playing last night. The counter look at this game is how tired the Avs have looked at times on this road trip. Small lean to NYR +125 as I will ride the hot team until they lose.

**Swayman/Demko confirmed goaiies**
The Bruins are the latest team to get hit with covid with 5 players out tonight! With half of their starting 6 on the blueline out with illness or injury, Boston will have a hard time keeping pucks out o the net. They already have had inconsistent goaltending all season and now the Canucks look energized with Boudreau as HC. I loved what I saw from Vancouver against LA and I will ride the team with a new coach until they lose, strong lean to the Canucks +130. Grab it before this line moves to Vancouver as a small fav.

**Holtby/Lehner confirmed goalies**
Dallas has won 7 in a row and 9 of their last 10 games but a lot of those wins came at home. The Stars are finally playing the way many thought they would. Dallas lost in Vegas earlier in the season 3-2OT but they were inconsistent back then, now they are red hot like the Rangers. The Knights have been hard to figure out lately even with their big stars back from injury. I look for a low-scoring, tight defensive game, so small lean to the under. I'm pretty sure I will pass on picking a side in this one as it could go either way, even though I like riding the hot team. Dallas is a small dog at +125, Vegas -145.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 - 58(Home - 21/Road - 37)
Total PP goals last night - 15
Total SH goals last night - 1
Favs were 7-3 last night. The last ten days favs have gone 67-30!! That's quite a run!!
**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.

Home teams are now 223-172. Over/Under the total is 196-188-7 on the year.
Teams in back-to-back consecutive road games are now 33-26-1 over/under the total.
Teams rested the night before when their opponent plays the prior night are 34-26.
East vs West games, West 86-80 over the Eastern Conference.
Teams playing 3 in 4 nights on the road, bet against in 3rd game - 18-10
Teams playing 4 in 6 nights on the road, bet against in 4th game - 19-5
