Broke even for the second night in a row yesterday on the NHL, going 3-3. We’ve got another six game slate tonight, let’s crush it!
Sabres vs. Lightning (7:00)
I wouldn’t say this is a great matchup in the Atlantic this season, but it should be a blast of a game after the heated battles between these teams last year, including easily one of the most fun games we played last season. My Sabres have played pretty well recently, but Tampa’s by far the better team here this year. I’ll take the Lightning for a unit. I also like the over, which I’ll take for half a unit.
Flames vs. Rangers (7:30)
Boring cross conference matchup here. I don’t think either of these teams are good. I’d lean the Rangers win this one on the road, but not enough to bet them. I’d also slightly lean the under, but I’ll lay off this game entirely.
Oilers vs. Flyers (9:00)
Gigantic mismatch in this cross conference game. The Oilers have been very good this season, while the Flyers have been brutal. To add on to it, now Philly’s dealing with issues with their leading scorer Matvei Michkov wanting to get traded but not requesting a trade, so who knows whats going on there. Regardless, this should be an easy win for McDavid and the Oil at home. I’m shocked that the line on this game is lower than -200, and I’m going to unload on it for 2.5 units for my biggest play of the year. I’d slightly lean the under, but not enough to bet it.
Golden Knights vs. Mammoth (9:30)
This should be a great game in the West. The Golden Knights have had some struggles this season but are still a very good team, and come into tonight on a three game road win streak, capped off by a 4-1 win against my Sabres on Sunday. The Mammoth have three losses in their last four games, but have been good this season. I’d slightly lean Vegas wins here at home, but not enough to bet it. I do like the over though, which I’ll take for half a unit.
Ducks vs. Predators (10:00)
This Western Conference matchup isn’t great but these teams both come into tonight on big winning streaks and have both played well lately in quite different fashion making it a fun game. The Ducks have been pretty bad on the back end, but they’re outscoring their problems, scoring at least five goals in each of their games in their five game win streak, while Nashville’s grinded out low scoring wins in their last five games. I’d give a slight lean to the Ducks at home with the Preds in the second half of a back to back on the road, but don’t think it’s worth betting on. I’d lean the over, but not enough to bet it with how well Nashville’s played defensively, especially with the -135 for the 6.5. I’ll lay off this game completely.
Sharks vs. Penguins (10:00)
Horrible cross conference game to end the night. Both of these teams have struggled big time this year, despite having some fantastic pieces to their rosters. I’d slightly lean the Sharks win at home, but I didn’t even consider betting the side in this game. I do like the over though, which I’ll take for half a unit.
