Our Picks:
Philadelphia Flyers ML @6/5 vs Nashville Predators.
Both teams have won 4 of their last 5 games, with the Flyers coming in this match hot winning 4 in a row. They have also been the most complete team of the two in recent games, as not only have they been playing great defensively, but they have also managed to score at a decent rate. The Flyers have also been playing great hockey on the road, with an amazing defense and an impressive win % when playing as away dogs. The Preds on the other hand have been average when playing at home based on both GFA/GAA and record as home favs. They do have the edge in net tonight with Saros because were still not sold on Ersson even though he has been playing well. All things considered, We like the Flyers’ chances at plus money.
Vancouver Canucks -1.5 @39/20 vs Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Canucks have cooled off compared to the beginning of the season, but they are still playing some solid hockey. The Lightning have started playing better as of late, probably it has to do with Vasi looking more and more like himself. However, when comparing both goalies, we would consider him and Demko around the same level, as Demko has struggled a bit in his last games. However, Tampa’s woes on the road continue. They have had trouble keeping the puck out of the net and have a terrible record as road dogs. The Canucks on the other hand, have been great when playing at home, in this case as home favs both straight up and ATS. We like the value with Nucks on the PL in this one.
Vegas Golden Knights -1.5 @6/5 vs Calgary Flames.
Yesterday going against the Flames on the -1.5 didn’t work out, but were going back at it today. They are on a back-to-back and it was a high scoring, high intensity game. The Flames have also struggled on the road, and one game where they score a lot is not changing how the model perceives the game. The Knights meanwhile have been amazing at home. They have a great defense, Thompson in net has been playing amazingly and they also have been scoring at a decent rate. We’ll take our chances with them on the PL even though their ATS record is not that great.
Florida Panthers -1.5 @29/20 vs Seattle Kraken.
These teams are going in two different directions right now. The Kraken have been terrible this year. They are on an eight game losing streak and have been abysmal when playing as home dogs. The Panthers on the other hand have been great, especially when playing as favorites. They have been playing some great defense on the road and Bobrovsky is looking like his old self. We don’t see the Kraken keeping this one close, but we are a bit worried about the line. The Panthers realistically should be a heavier favorite here, but we’ll take our chances.
Winnipeg Jets -1.5 @6/5 vs San Jose Sharks.
The Sharks have been playing better lately and they have finally started scoring some goals. They go against a Jets team without their best scorer in this one, and with their backup goalie in net. However, we have seen how the Sharks have usually played this year and don’t understand why the bookies are giving them this much respect, maybe were not seeing something that we should. Even though the Sharks have played their best hockey at home, the Jets have been great as road favs in their 6 games as favs, having won five and covered in 4 of 6. The odds are good, and we don’t think we can trust Blackwood in net for the Sharks who has been shaky to say the least as of late.
What There Playing For:
