Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Colorado is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games and 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Colorado is 4-8-1 SU in their last 13 games ,when playing NY Islanders. Colorado is 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against NY Islanders. NY Islanders are 12-5 SU in their last 17 games. Colorado has the third worst shots against allowing 35.1 per game. New York allows the third most power play goals in the league with 0.9 per game. New York has the second worst penalty killing in the league at 71.1%.
Colorado has gone 0-3-3 away from home since beating Boston on Oct. 13 for its only win in eight road contests. Colorado has not been good on the road this year. However, I believe that still is due to the fact that they started the season practically on the road. Five of their first six games were on the road. Hard for a team to come together the right way going against the home crowd constantly. Remember the Avalanche have already beaten the Islanders once this year 5-0. That has to give the team confidence going into this game. 71% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Islanders tonight. However, the line has moved from 2.31 to 2.25 for Colorado. Last time these teams matched-up Colorado was the slight favorite. This time you get an opportunity to get Colorado at a good price and by the looks of it “sharp” money may very well be on the Avalanche tonight. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Calgary is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Calgary is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing Carolina. However, Calgary is 2-5-2 SU in its last 9 games ,when playing on the road against Carolina. On the side Carolina is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games. However, Carolina is 4-9 SU in its last 13 games. Calgary has the third worst shots on goal in the league at 26.9 per game. But, Calgary gives up the second fewest power plays in the league at 2.8 per game.
Both teams have been on fire lately winning four out of the last five games. However, who can you trust more in this match-up? Carolina is giving up over three goals game. Calgary on the other hand is scoring over three goals a game. Calgary currently sits as a slight dog for this game. Which has served them well this season winning eight out of thirteen games while being an underdog. Also, Calgary has scored 22 goals in their last five games. In net for Calgary tonight, Jonas Hiller notched his only shutout in his first season with Calgary when he made 16 saves against Carolina last month. He’s 4-1-0 with a 1.58 goals-against average against the Hurricanes and enters this match-up playing well, going 7-1-1 with a 1.73 GAA since losing his first two starts with the Flames.In net for the Hurricanes tonight, Cam Ward has been in goal for the four wins with a 1.48 GAA. Ward is just 2-3-0 with a 4.06 GAA in six starts against Calgary after giving up all five goals in last month’s meeting.
When the odds are as close as they happen to be tonight I tend to lean towards the better team. I think Calgary is the better team right now and has Carolina’s number. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Winnipeg is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games and 7-3 SU in its last 10 games on the road. However, Winnipeg is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games when playing Ottawa. On the other side Ottawa is 12-5 SU in its last 17 games and 6-2 SU in its last 8 games at home. Winnipeg is third worst offensive team in the league at 2.0 goals per game. Ottawa is second in the league in power play chances at 4.1 per game. Ottawa has the third worst shots against allowing 35.5 per game.
If you’ve you wagered on both of these teams all year long than more than likely you’ve won money. However, in past recent match-ups Ottawa has had Winnipeg’s number. The trends shown that above but, I was surprised to find that “sharp” money may very well be on the Jets tonight. 62% of all Off-Shore bettors are on the Senators tonight. However, the line has moved the other way. Winnipeg opened as 2.27 underdogs and now sit at 2.09. Obviously, this theory is based on your own perception. Maybe Winnipeg is actually “due” for a good game in Ottawa. We are siding with the Jets tonight. Best of Luck!!

Let’s look at some betting trends for this match-up. Edmonton is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games and 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Edmonton is 1-7 SU in its last 8 games when playing Buffalo. However, Buffalo is 3-18 SU in its last 21 games and 1-8 SU in its last 9 games at home. Edmonton has the worst defense in the league allowing 3.7 goals per game. Edmonton gives up the second fewest power plays in the league at 2.8 per game. Buffalo is the worst offensive team in the league averaging just 1.2 goals per game. Buffalo has the worst shots on goal in the league with just 21.7 per game. Buffalo has the worst shots against in the league at 36.3 per game.
What a game this will be right!? Hey, when you’re betting on a game every game you play is a big game and this one is no exception. Look, how can you determine who will win this game? Looking at the last two games Edmonton has not looked good at all giving up a combined nine goals. Buffalo on the other hand have played pretty tough beating Detroit and losing by a goal to Montreal. If that doesn’t help determine who to pick this will. Opening number for this game at 2.23 and now the number sits at 2.03. Has the value been sucked out of it already? Could be but at the end of the day as long as we pick a winner that is all that matters. 60% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Oilers tonight and yet the line has moved the other way. So with “sharp” money looking to be on the Sabres and the fact that Sabres have looked better their last two games I’m rolling with them. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Vancouver is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games and 5-2 SU in its last 7 games on the road. Vancouver is 1-10 SU in its last 11 games when playing San Jose and 1-5 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against San Jose. However, San Jose is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home. Vancouver is third highest scoring team in the league at 3.3 goals per game. Also, Vancouver is third in the league in shots at 32.2 per game. San Jose is third on the power play in the league at 25.6%.
Vancouver is surging right now heading into this second game of a four game road trip. San Jose have keep things stable for the most part after going on a four game losing streak just over a week ago. Looking into this match-up I wanted to know which team had the best player on the ice at this given moment. Doesn’t mean he’s actually the best player on the ice just the hottest player for the moment. That player I believe is Ryan Miller who will be in net for the Canucks tonight. Miller has won six straight starts with a 1.65 goals-against average and is off to a 9-1-0 start with his new team. Meaning when Mr. Miller is in Net the Canucks have a great chance to win the game.
Also, take a look at the odds for Vancouver. The opening number was 2.36 yet 5dimes has Vancouver at 2.20. Also, according to 5dimes 75% of all bettors are siding with the Sharks yet the line is moving the other way. Meaning “sharp” money may very well be on the Canucks tonight. I love the Canucks chances tonight as a road dog. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s look at some betting trends for this match-up. NY Islanders are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games and 6-3 SU in their last 9 games on the road. NY Islanders are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing Anaheim and 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Anaheim. However, Anaheim is 10-2 SU in its last 12 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home. New York has the third worst defense in the league, allowing 3.5 goals per game. Also, New York allows the third most power play goals in the league with 1.1 per game. Anaheim has the third most power play chances in the league at 4.1 per game. Anaheim has the second stingiest defense in the league at 1.8 goals per game.
No question that the Ducks are one of the better teams in the NHL. They have looked really good so far this season. However, tonight I don’t believe they will be one of the best teams in the league. No official word has came out just yet, but Anaheim could be down to their third different goalie this season. Not to mention Anaheim will be without three other defense men. As the trends showed Anaheim has been great this season defending their opponents. However, with the key injuries I believe the Islanders will get their scoring chances tonight. 68% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Ducks tonight. Yet the line has moved from 1.57 to 1.67. Sharp money is on the Islanders and that is who we will back tonight.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Carolina is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games and Carolina is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Carolina is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games when playing Columbus and 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Columbus. However, Columbus is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games. Carolina is second last in the league in shots at just 26.8 per game. Columbus is second in the league in power play chances at 4.2 per game.
The following players are out for Columbus: Sergei Bobrovsky, Artem Anisimov, James Wisniewski, Nathan Horton, Ryan Murray, Cody Goloubef, Mark Letestu, and Brandon Dubinsky. Look, I know Carolina hasn’t been great so far this season. I understand backing the Hurricanes is not easiest thing to do. However, how can Columbus compete at a high level in the National Hockey League with this many injuries. Meanwhile Carolina has become almost full strength with Jordan Staal back in the lineup. Not to mention Carolina has looked pretty good in their last two games. Carolina as the underdog in this spot is stealing money. I believe the only reason Columbus is favored in this spot is because of the home ice and their recent success against Carolina. However, this Blue Jackets team is not the same team from a year ago. Take the underdog Carolina Hurricanes tonight. Best of Luck!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Columbus is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games and 2-4 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Columbus is 3-6 SU in its last 9 games when playing New Jersey. Also, Columbus is 1-5-1 SU in its last 7 games ,when playing on the road against New Jersey. New Jersey is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games. New Jersey allows the second most power plays in the league at 4.4 per game. Also, New Jersey has the second worst penalty killing in the league at 68.2%.
Going to keep this short and sweet. New Jersey is currently a 1.53 favorite after opening at 1.63. Is New Jersey a good enough team to be favored by that much this point in the season? Not quite, however against this current Blue Jackets rosters I believe they are worthy of these odds. Columbus has a total of 8 players out of tonight’s game. They have also lost 5 out of their last 6 games. Throw in the fact they’re on the road against a good enough opponent and it leaves them very vulnerable tonight. Bottom line is we’re taking advantage of a poor Blue Jackets team tonight.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Anaheim is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Anaheim is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Dallas but only 3-7 SU in its last 10 games when playing on the road against Dallas. Also, Dallas is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home. Dallas is the second highest scoring team in the league at 3.6 goals per game. However, Dallas has the third worst defense in the league, allowing 3.7 goals per game.
When looking over this game what made up my mind were the betting percentages. Also, the fact that Anaheim is coming off two tough games between the Blackhawks and Blues. One would have to question how much they have in the tank after playing last night. Dallas has not looked good their last two games, but they will be the fresher team tonight. Going over the percentages 55% of all Off-Shores bettors are with the Stars tonight. Now with only a 55/45 split the odds should stay some what close to the opening line. However, the line has moved a good bit for the Stars tonight. Indicating that “sharp” money may very well be on the Stars. Opening line for the Stars was 1.87 and now it sits 1.80. Some places we’re seeing it as low as 1.77. I believe this is the direction it will continue to go until the puck drops. Take the Stars as they look to play well in front of the home crowd tonight. Best of luck!!!

We got a couple of good games today to look at here is the first one.
New York Islanders @ Colorado Avalanche
NY Islanders are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games and 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road. NY Islanders are 4-9-1 SU in their last 14 games ,when playing on the road against Colorado. Colorado is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games and 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home. Colorado is 3-8-1 SU in their last 12 games ,when playing NY Islanders. NY Islanders are the second highest scoring team in the league at 3.9 goals per game.
When looking over the trends for this match-up I felt as if the Islanders would be the clear cut play in this spot. However, they will not have Halak in net for them tonight who is 3-0-2 with a 1.55 GAA in his last five against the Avalanche. The Off-Shore bettors are split 50/50 on who will win this game. However, the odds have moved the Avalanche to bigger favorites from 1.83 to 1.74. This movement based on the trends means to me that “sharp”money is on the Avalanche. The Avalanche started 5 of their first 6 games on the road to start the season. Which I believe played into their rough start. However, they will play 4 out of their next 5 at home. Look for them to get things going tonight.
Play: Colorado Avalanche @ 5dimes 1.74
Montreal Canadiens @ Vancouver Canucks
Montreal is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games and 4-2 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Montreal is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing Vancouver but 3-8 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against Vancouver. Vancouver is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home. Montreal is second last in the league in power play chances at 2.9 per game. Vancouver is third in the league in shots at 32.8 per game.
Montreal has been great to start the season. They’ve also been very undervalued by the betting public going 4-1 SU when they’re underdog. However, Vancouver is 5-1 as a favorite this season. Vancouver has also been very good at home so far to start the season. Ryan Miller will be in net for the Canucks tonight. When Miller have been in Net for the Canucks this season they are 6-1. Carey Price will be in net for the Canadiens tonight. Price owns a .959 save percentage while going 5-0-1 in his last six starts versus the Canucks. 55% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Canadiens. However, I believe sharp money is with the Canucks with the line opening at Canucks 1.77 and moving to 1.74. Either way this will be a great match-up. I’m siding with the home team in what will be a close game.
