Another great day in the NHL for me yesterday, staying hot as I went 9-3 to win 5.63 units. Let’s keep rolling on tonight’s five game slate!
Flyers vs. Oilers (7:30)
Big mismatch in this cross conference game to get the night started, with both of these teams in the second half of back to backs. The Flyers are coming off a 4-3 win in Columbus last night and have kept their recent games close, but this team stinks. The Oilers are on a roll, coming into tonight on a four game win streak after a 1-0 shutout win in Toronto last night. These teams just played on Wednesday in Edmonton, with Philly taking it to overtime, but the Oilers won it 3-2. I like them to win again here on the road and I’ll take them for 1.5 units. I’d lean the under, but not enough to bet it.
Stars vs. Panthers (8:00)
This should be a solid cross conference matchup. The Stars have been a bit inconsistent, but they’re still a very good team, in the second half of a back to back coming off a 2-0 shutout win at home against my Sabres last night. The Panthers are on a nice three game win streak and have been solid, in the second half of a back to back as well, beating the Blues 4-1 on the road last night. I’d slightly lean Florida wins here on the road, but didn’t even consider betting it. Too close of a game. I’d also slightly lean the under, but not enough to bet that either, so I’ll lay off this game entirely.
Ducks vs. Flames (8:00)
This isn’t a great game in the Pacific. Both of these teams have been middling, with very poor play on the back end. This is already the fourth and final game of the season between them, with the Ducks leading the season series 2-1, all in pretty high scoring games. I like Anaheim to win again here at home with the way better offense and I’ll take them for half a unit. I like the over better though, which I’ll take for a unit.
Golden Knights vs. Canucks (9:00)
Huge mismatch in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have been fantastic this season, coming off a 3-2 shootout loss at home to the Preds on Friday night, ending a four game win streak. The Canucks on the other hand are the worst team in the NHL and have been completely pathetic on both ends of the ice. Vegas won the first game between these teams 3-2 on the road and they would win pretty easily here at home. The price makes sense at -410. I’ll take the Knights puck line for 1.5 units. I’d slightly lean the under, but not enough to bet it.
Sharks vs. Predators (9:00)
This is kind of a boring matchup. The Sharks have been struggling on both ends of the ice and have been a disappointment this year. They’re in the second half of a back to back tonight, coming off a 6-5 shootout win in Utah last night, their third straight game that went to a shootout. The Predators are rolling right now, on an impressive seven game win streak after a 3-2 shootout win in Vegas on Friday night. I like the Preds to win again here and I’ll take Nashville for a unit. I’d lean the under, but not enough to bet it.
