Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Nashville is 11-4 SU in its last 15 games and is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Also, Nashville is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing Edmonton and 1-5 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Edmonton. Edmonton is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home. Edmonton has won 4 games in a row.
Pekka Rinne who will be in net for Nashville, has been strong all season, going 5-1-1 with a 1.81 GAA and .932 save percentage. Rinne, however, 2-4-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .872 save percentage in his last seven games against Edmonton. Ben Scrivens will be in net for Edmonton tonight. Scrivens is 1-2-0 with a 2.37 GAA in three starts against the Predators. Also, Scrivens is 4-1-0 with a 1.61 GAA and .945 save percentage in his last five starts.
Having not won a game the Oilers have really turned things around. One key not is that during that four game stretch the Oilers were underdogs in three of them. Also, scoring at least 3 goals or more in all four games. I believe that once again the betting public is undervaluing the Oilers tonight with only 35% of all Off-Shore bettors siding with the Oilers. Tonight, is a great opportunity to side with a hot team playing in front of their home crowd while being an underdog. Even with the 65% who are backing the Predators the line has not moved all that much. Opening at Nashville 1.83 to 1.86 and Edmonton 2.00 to 2.06. Taking the home dog in this one. Best of luck!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this game. St. Louis is 5-14 SU in its last 19 games and is 1-8 SU in its last 9 games on the road. St. Louis is 7-14-1 SU in its last 22 games ,when playing on the road against Dallas. On the other side Dallas is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games and is 11-5 SU in its last 16 games at home. St. Louis is third in the league in shots at 33.4 per game and is second best in the league in shots against allowing 23.4 per game. 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 3.6 goals per game.
The key to this game will be how well will Dallas be able to defend the St. Louis attack? The Stars gave up seven goals in their last contest to the Islanders. St. Louis haven’t set the nets on fire by any means, but they’re coming off a big win against the Blackhawks. I think they can feed off that game and get another win tonight. The Off-shore betting public are currently split 50/50 on who they believe will win the game. However, we have seen some movement for St. Louis with the line dropping from 2.00 all the way down to 1.91 at some places. Best of Luck!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Minnesota is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games and is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Minnesota is 2-5 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against NY Rangers. New York is second last in the league in power play chances at 2.8 per game. Minnesota is third in the league in shots at 33.7 per game. Minnesota is the toughest team to score on in the league, allowing just 1.0 goals per game.
Defensively, Minnesota is one of the best in the league. Minnesota has the best shots against in the league allowing 22.2 per game. If they could get their offense going they could be a serious force in the NHL. Kuemper will be in Net for the Wild tonight. Darcy Kuemper, so far leads the league with three shutouts and a 0.81 goals-against average. Minnesota will be without Keith Ballard and Christian Folin due to illness.
Lundqvist will be in net for the Rangers tonight, however this team has been a little bit overvalued this year. They’re currently giving up over 3 goals a game. The betting percentages have also swayed my opinion on who will win this game. Currently the betting public is split 50/50 on who will win the game, yet the line has moved towards Minnesota. The line opened New York 1.83 and Minnesota 2.00 yet now 5dimes has it New York 1.93 and Minnesota is 1.97 with a 50/50 split. I believe sharp/smart money is on the defensive minded Minnesota Wild. Best of luck!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this game. Boston is 15-6 SU in its last 21 games when playing Toronto and 7-3 SU in its last 10 games when playing on the road against Toronto. Toronto is 5-16 SU in its last 21 games and 1-4 SU in its last 5 games at home. Boston has the third least power play chances in the league at 2.9 per game. Both teams have won three of their last five games.
Zdeno Chara and Kevan Miller are both out for the Bruins. Boston losing their big man is a real big deal. I’m not sure that this Bruins team is the same team it has been the last few years without Chara. The Maple Leafs should be able to get plenty of scoring chances in front of it’s home crowd tonight. Maple Leafs will be without Brandon Kozun and David Booth. However, with this being the Bruins first game back without Chara I’m not sure they will be able to have their defense in check. The Maple Leafs also come into this game with fresh legs haven’t not played since October 21st. Rask will be in net for the Bruins and Bernier will be in net for the Maple Leafs.
Maple Leafs come into this game as the slight underdog. The Maple Leafs are 2-2 as an underdog this season. With Chara out and the home crowd in front of them I see no reason why the Maple Leafs can’t pull this one out. So far 60% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Bruins. I believe Bruins may very well be the better team when healthy, even with the injuries they get the respect of the opening line favorite. However, I firmly believe by the start of game the Maple Leafs will be the favorite.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this game. Vancouver is 19-5 SU in its last 24 games when playing Colorado and is 8-3 SU in its last 11 games when playing on the road against Colorado. Also, Vancouver is 7-17 SU in its last 24 games on the road. Colorado is 1-8 SU in its last 9 games. Colorado is third worst offensive team in the league at 1.7 goals per game. By the looks of the trends one would think that Vancouver could be the favorite in this spot. However, Vancouver comes into this game not on fresh legs having played less than 24 hours ago. They will also stick Ryan Miller back in net for the second straight night. Semyon Varlamov will get the start in net after coming off a groin injury. Varlamov is 0-2-1 with a 3.80 GAA
We know Colorado has not got off to a great start but I agree they should be favorite in this spot. It’s a bad spot for Vancouver having played a night ago and Ryan Miller who put in a lot of effort in beating the Blues last night. 65% of all Off-Shore bettors side with the Avalanche tonight. Looking back at our trends if Vancouver really was the right pick then they would of been favored. However, that is not the case. Lines opened at Vancouver 2.10 and Colorado at 1.77. The best spot for odds looks to be 5dimes as they have Colorado 1.70. I think Colorado plays tough tonight in front of the home crowd. Take the favorite and enjoy your Friday night. Best of Luck!

Here are some good betting trends for this upcoming game. Vancouver is 6-17 SU in its last 23 games on the road, however Vancouver is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing St. Louis. Also, St. Louis is 2-7 SU in its last 9 games. Vancouver is third in the league in shots at 36.8 per game and second in the league in power play chances at 4.6 per game. St. Louis is second best in the league in power play goals with 1.2 per game and second best in the league in shots against allowing 23.4 per game.
One very key note for this game is Ryan Miller will be in net for the Canucks. This will be his first time back in St. Louis since joining the Canucks. I really believe Miller will play lights out tonight for the road team. Goals will be hard to come by in this game and I would rather side with Ryan Miller than I would with Jake Allen. Also, their have been reports that the flu bug has been circulating around the St. Louis Blues team. So we’re not really sure if they’re 100% or not. Take a look at the betting percentages as well. 67% percent of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Blues. The lined opened at Blues 1.57 and the Canucks 2.55. Yet across the board the line has moved the other way siding with the Canucks. 5dimes has it Blues 1.66 and Canucks 2.42, Pinnacle has it Blues 1.67 and Canucks 2.36. BetOnline has it also the same as Pinnacle. Going against the public on this one and taking the Canucks. Best of Luck!

Let’s look at some betting trends for this match-up tonight. Washington is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Washington is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Edmonton, but are only 2-8 SU in its last 10 games when playing on the road against Edmonton. Washington will also, be without John Erskine and Brooks Laich for tonight’s game.
Edmonton is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games and 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home. Both Luke Gazdic and Viktor Fasth will miss the game for them.
I really believe the Oilers getting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins back last game was a big deal. I also believe that the Capitals playing without Brooks Laich for the first time this season is a big deal. Washington also has not faired well playing at Edmonton. One thing that’s needs to be brought up is the betting public. Right now 80% of all Off-Shore bets are being placed on the Capitals. The lines opened at Washington 1.69 and Edmonton at 2.25. With 80% backing the Capitals the lined should move a good bit. However, this is not the case. 5dimes has it Washington 1.72 and Edmonton 2.29, Pinnacle has it Washington 1.71 and Edmonton 2.27, Finally BetOnline has it Washington 1.69 and Edmonton 2.32. I believe it’s a pure trap if you take Washington is this spot. Best of Luck!

Let’s look at some betting trends to start us off. Tampa Bay is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games on the road. 7-3 SU in its last 10 games when playing Calgary and is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Calgary. One good trend in Calgary’s favor is that Calgary is 12-6 SU in its last 18 games at home.
Calgary has been quite impressive through their first seven games of the year. However, they have yet to win at home this season. Calgary has looked very upbeat this year and would love to look good in front of the home crowd tonight. Also, Karri Ramo, a 2004 draft choice of Tampa Bay, has also been strong with a 2-1-0 record, 2.30 GAA and .920 save percentage. Ramo is 1-1-0 with a 1.51 GAA and .951 save percentage in two games against his former team. You have to think Ramo, will bring his best game against his former team.
Tampa Bay on the other hand is coming into this game after losing last night to Edmonton. In my opinion the Lightning put to much energy into beating Vancouver at few nights ago and didnt save anything in the tank for Edmonton or Calgary. The follow players for them are out: Ryan Callahan, Victor Hedman, Radko Gudas, and Alex Killorn is doubtful.
The opening line was Tampa Bay 1.80 Calgary 2.05 with the Off-Shore betting market so far split 50/50. Current odds have Calgary 5dimes: 1.95, Pinnacle: 1.91, and SportsInteraction: 1.95. 50/50 split yet the lines have moved in favor of Calgary. I agree as I don’t believe Tampa Bay should of ever been favored in the first place. Best of luck!

So far this week we are 2-1 after the Ducks broke up our perfect week.
No need for a big write-up as these teams played one another a night ago with the Red Wings winning 4-1. Tonight, Red Wings have the home ice. The Maple Leafs will start Bernier in net. The Red Wings will go with Gustavsson in net. Because of the big win last night for the Red Wings I basing my selection on public perception. The public believes the Red Wings will win again tonight with 70% of all Off-Shore bettors taken the Red Wings. Opening lines were Toronto 2.20 and Detroit 1.71. Even with the 70% on the Red Wings lines have moved the other way. 5Dimes has Toronto 2.10, Pinnacle has it 2.12 and SportsInteraction has it 2.05. I say we read the movement and take the dog tonight. Best of luck!

The Wild head into Anaheim to take on the Ducks in what will truly be a heavyweight match-up. The Wild can become the second team in NHL history to post three shutouts to open a season Friday night as they try to spoil the Ducks’ home opener. Minnesota comes into this game 8-17 SU in its last 25 games when playing on the road against Anaheim. Also, Minnesota is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing Anaheim. However, Minnesota leads the league in shots with 41.0 per game and has not allowed a goal yet this season. Another great stat is that Minnesota leads the league in penalty killing at 100.0%.
The Ducks meanwhile have been on fire since dropping their season opener as they have won three in a row, all of which have been on the road and this marks the team’s home opener at the Honda Center. The Ducks are stacked from top to bottom and can run four lines with a great deal of success, but the big question remains can they do enough in goal to keep up with the rest of the team? Anaheim traded away Jonas Hiller to make room for Frederik Andersen and John Gibson but Gibson struggled in his season opener and the team felt it would be best to send him down to the minors leaving Andersen in net. Opening lines had it Wild 2.30, Ducks 1.67 and Currently 5Dimes has it Wild 2.15, Ducks 1.80, Pinnacle, has it Wild 2.17, Ducks 1.78,and SportsInteraction has it Wild 2.10 and Ducks 1.77 with 60% all Off-Shore bettors siding with the Ducks. I disagree with the 60% based on the Ducks questionable goaltender play and am more willing to back the Wild’s goaltender. Home opener or not I believe Wild win. Best of luck!
