NHL Betting Predictions December 16th

Dallas Stars logoThe Flyers came through for us in a tight battle with the Canadiens last night to win our only play of the night.  That victory brings the season record to (68-62) for +9.55 units.  Tonight is the night we get back to a 10 unit profit on the season!

Dallas Stars @ New Jersey Devils

The Stars are rolling on a three game winning streak and they head into New Jersey to play a team that is coming off of two big road victories and have been resting since Tuesday.  The Stars played last night and won a tight game against the Islanders.  The three game winning streak has largely been due to the stellar goaltending from Richard Bachman who is 3-0 this season with a .970 save percentage and a 0.90 GAA.  Richard is back in net tonight and I expect him to continue to play well with the confidence he has built.  The Stars have relied on solid goaltending this season from both Bachman and Lehtonen and I expect them to pull out the win tonight as a minor underdog.

Calgary Flames @ Florida Panthers

The Flames are also playing their second of back to back games after a tough OT loss to Tampa Bay last night.  That being said the Flames are 6-2-2 in their last ten games and have been playing their best hockey of the season.  The Panthers have only won 4 of their last 10 and are starting to fade from their amazing start to the season.  The Flames are coming out with Leland Irving in goal tonight, who is playing his first NHL game.  With rookie goaltenders you often find they will either steal the show or get lit up.  I’m willing to take this chance with the great payout for the Flames tonight.
