Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Winnipeg is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Colorado. Winnipeg is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against Colorado. Winnipeg allows the most power plays at 3.9 per game. Colorado is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games and 2-4 SU in its last 6 games at home. Colorado has the third worst shots against allowing 33.8 per game.
Two nights ago we decided to go against the Colorado Avalanche because of their injury plagued team. Guess what? We’re doing it again tonight. Hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Look, Colorado has lost four games in a row. They’ve got zero chemistry right now and their only bright spot has been back-up rookie goaltender Calvin Pickard. He fills in again tonight for Semyon Varlamov. The Jets rolled past Colorado by a 6-2 score last Friday behind three goals and an assist from Bryan Little, and the Avalanche weren’t much better in their next game, falling 3-0 to Nashville at home Tuesday. They were outshot 36-26 in dropping to 0-3-1 in December after winning five of their last seven in November. The Jets have had the Avalanche’s number the last few games. Even with the home ice, I don’t see how an injury-plagued Avalanche team gets by one of the better teams in the NHL. Consider this as well, Winnipeg is 9-4-3 on the ROAD this season. They actually have a better ROAD record than a HOME record. For whatever this team enjoys playing on the ROAD and I believe they get it done again tonight. Best of Luck!!!!

Let’s take a look at the betting trends for this match-up. Nashville is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games and 11-5 SU in its last 16 games when playing Colorado. Nashville is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games when playing Colorado. Nashville has the third worst power play in the league at 11.5%. Nashville has the second stingiest defense in the league at 2.1 goals per game. Nashville gives up the second fewest power plays in the league at 2.7 per game. Colorado is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games.
Look let’s be honest lately here are NHLBettingTips we’ve been picking on teams who have been hit by the injury bug. We’ve got no shame in saying that because at the end of the day we’re up in units. Tonight, is no different as we look to take the Predators. Look the Nashville Predators have quietly become one of the best teams in the NHL. Having Pekka Rinne helps them be one of the best teams in the league in a big way. Pekka Rinne ranks near the top of the league with a 1.89 goals-against average, and he’s likely to be in net tonight. Rinne went 1-1-2 with a 1.96 GAA against the Avalanche last season. With all of the injuries the Avalanche have become terrible on defense. Allowing 14 goals during an 0-2-1 stretch. I highly doubt home ice helps them in anyway tonight. Also, The Predators have NOT lost back to back games yet this season. They lost to the Blackhawks three days ago but tonight we look for them to get back in the win column. Best of Lick!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Pittsburgh is 15-5 SU in its last 20 games and 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Pittsburgh is 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing NY Rangers. Pittsburgh is 12-6 SU in their last 18 games when playing on the road against NY Rangers. Pittsburgh is third highest scoring team in the league at 3.3 goals per game. ittsburgh leads the league on the power play at 29.1%. Pittsburgh allows the second most power plays in the league at 3.8 per game. NY Rangers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games when playing Pittsburgh.
Looking at the games on the board for tonight this game stands out the most. The injury bug has grabbed the Pittsburgh Penguins by the throat and has not let go yet. No question about it when healthy the Penguins are one of the best teams in the league. However, with players like Chris Kunitz and Kris Letang out for tonight’s game the Penguins become very vulnerable. 60% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Penguins tonight. However, the Rangers line has moved from 1.85 to 1.77. Which indicates “sharp” money may very well be on the Rangers tonight. The feeling is that the sharp is coming in on the Rangers because of the home ice and the Penguins injury list. The Rangers have got the best of the Penguins in the last five games and I think they do it again tonight. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Washington is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games and 3-9 SU in its last 12 games when playing New Jersey. Washington is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against New Jersey. Washington has the third least power play chances in the league at 2.8 per game. Washington has the third worst penalty killing in the league at 74.7%. New Jersey is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games and 3-6 SU in its last 9 games at home. New Jersey is second last in the league in shots at just 26.5 per game. New Jersey allows the most power plays at 3.8 per game. New Jersey allows the most power play goals in the league with 1.0 per game.
When looking over all of tonight’s game this one really caught my eye for a couple of reasons. First and foremost the injury bug has really caught the New Jersey Devils. When comparing the two teams with the injury report Washington has a major advantage in that category. Another thing that caught my eye was the current line movement that is going on for this game. 53% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Devils tonight. However, the Captials line has moved from 2.04 to 1.91. Which indicates that “sharp” money may well be on the Captials tonight. Both teams have been average this year but I believe the Captials get the job done tonight.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. St. Louis is 14-5 SU in its last 19 games and 6-3 SU in its last 9 games on the road. St. Louis is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games when playing Nashville and 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Nashville. St. Louis has allowed the third fewest goals in the league at 2.2 per game. Also, St. Louis allows the third least shots against in the league at 27.0 per game.

Nashville gives up the second fewest power plays in the league at 2.7 per game.
Out of all the games playing tonight, I firmly believe this will be the best game of the night. Two of the best teams in the NHL square off tonight in Nashville. Look I will be honest. I’m going to pick on Martin Brodeur in this spot. I don’t see how a 42-year old can just come out of nowhere suit up for a team and beat one of the best teams in the league. Is he one of the best goaltender’s of all-time? Maybe, but the Predators have been on fire as of late and have been great at home. I hate to pick on the old man but tonight will not be his night.

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Montreal is 9-4 SU in its last 13 games and 4-2 SU in its last 6 games on the road. Montreal is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Minnesota. Montreal is second last in the league in power play chances at 2.7 per game. Minnesota is 6-3 SU in its last 9 games and 12-4 SU in its last 16 games at home. Minnesota has the second best shots on goal at 33.1 per game. Minnesota is second in penalty killing in the league at 88.7%. Minnesota has the best shots against in the league allowing 25.8 per game. However, Minnesota has the second worst power play in the league at 9.6%.
Look, we have two quality teams going against one another so it would almost be a waste of time to break down the x’s and o’x of both clubs. What we will look for is what advantage do we have in making a selection. I firmly believe we have the best edge in this game out of all of them tonight. Tonight, we’re going with the Minnesota Wild. Look, this Wild team on the ROAD is average at best. They currently hold a 6-7 record on the ROAD this season. However, at home they’re a completely different team posting a 7-2-1 HOME record. Montreal isn’t an easy win by any means but you can tell that Minnesota has put an emphasis on winning at HOME this season. I will warn you that Minnesota has lost their two HOME games. As good as they’ve been at HOME this season I highly doubt they lose a third straight game.
Consider this as well, we have almost a 50/50 split in who the Off-Shore bettors believe will win yet the line has moved from 1.79 to 1.72 for the Wild. Such indicates that the stronger and sharper money may very well be on the Wild. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Boston is 3-6 SU in its last 9 games when playing Los Angeles. Boston has the fewest power play chances in the league with just 2.5 per game. Los Angeles is 10-3 SU in its last 13 games at home.
When looking over tonight’s match-ups this game struck me as the best possible play at a decent price. We’re looking at the Los Angeles Kings in this spot for a few reason. First off, Boston played a night ago against the Anaheim Ducks. So the reality is that the Bruins may not have as much in the tank as the Kings do. Secondly, the Kings have been very solid at home this season. They did lose 4-1 to the Blackhawks at home a few nights ago but that was due to their slow 1st period start. The Kings have played 14 games at home this season winning 10 of them. You have to consider their home record when picking this game. It’s clear that the Kings get it done most of the time at home. The Bruins continue to be without center David Krejci and Zdeno Chara, who didn’t make the trip. Those are key players to have when playing on the road and the Bruins don’t have them. I believe the Kings wear them down and take the Bruins out in the third period. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Florida is 6-19 SU in its last 25 games on the road and 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Columbus. Florida is third worst offensive team in the league at 2.1 goals per game. Florida allows the third most power plays at 3.8 per game. Columbus is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games and 1-8 SU in its last 9 games at home. Columbus is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing at home against Florida. Columbus has the third most power play chances in the league at 3.9 per game. Columbus is third best in the league in power play goals with 0.9 per game. Columbus has the worst defense in the league allowing 3.6 goals per game. Also, Columbus allows the third most power play goals in the league with 0.9 per game.
This game might be the worst game of the night when looking at all of the games. However, I really believe we have an edge in this game that can help us win. First off, as the trend showed Florida has a very rough time winning in Columbus. Is this the same Columbus team that has beating them those games? Of course not the injury has hit Columbus hard. However, this Florida team understands it’s struggles in Columbus and you have to wonder if that will play mind games with them if they get down early in the game. The next trend that stood out for me was that Florida has trouble stopping Power Play goals. With that being said Columbus has been getting all kinds of Power Play chances this season and cash in at least one a game. Even as bad as they’ve been this season I firmly believe the Blue Jackets get the win tonight on their home ice. Best of Luck!!!

Let’s take a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Philadelphia is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games and 0-5 SU in its last 5 games on the road. Philadelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Detroit however, Philadelphia is 2-14-1 SU in its last 17 games ,when playing on the road against Detroit. On the other side, Detroit is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games and 6-2 SU in its last 8 games at home. Philadelphia allows the third most power play goals in the league with 0.9 per game. Philadelphia has the worst penalty killing in the league 73.1%. Detroit leads the league in power play chances with 4.1 per game. Detroit is second best in the league in shots against allowing 26.7 per game. Detroit is second in penalty killing in the league at 89.3%.
When looking over the betting trends the one thing that stood out was the Power Play information. If this game comes down to Power Play chances then Detroit should have a big edge in that category. Also, in terms of the trends has been awful on the road as of late. Now they face a Red Wings team that has been above average this season. Detroit having the home ice is probably biggest edge in tonight’s game. Only 2 wins in the last 17 games is a trend I will back any day of the week. Only concern for the Red Wings in this match-up is Jimmy Howard’s numbers when facing the Flyers. Howard is 1-2-0 with a 3.78 GAA in three career match-ups. I think he betters his numbers tonight as the Red Wings get the win. Best of Luck!!!

The Predators have been a solid team so far this season. Tonight, they sit as a slight favorite over the Kings. The Predators have been favored 10 times this season winning 7 of those 10 games. Meanwhile, the Kings have only been underdogs in four spots this season losing three of them. The Kings have been one of the worst teams in the league while on the road. Meanwhile, the Predators have won 7 out of 9 home games this season. Also, Pekka Rinne will be in the net for the Preadtors tonight. Pekka Rinne has been in goal for all of Nashville’s wins this season. He’s given up one or no goals in three of his last four starts in this series. 54% of all Off-Shore bettors are siding with the Predators tonight. Moving the line from 1.84 to 1.77. I believe the Predators win this one going away. Best of Luck!!!
