NHL Betting Predictions December 8

There are five NHL games on tap tonight, and although all of the moneylines seem very accurate to me, I did find one over/under line that I’m going to jump on.

Dallas Stars @ Chicago Blackhawks

Kari Lehtonen and Corey Crawford are the confirmed starters for tonights game in Chicago.  Lehtonen is (13-7-2) this season with a 2.59 GAA.  He has allowed 3 or fewer goals in each of his last 7 games.  Corey Crawford is (7-4-0) on the season with a 2.34 GAA.  He has only given up more than 3 goals once this season.

Seven of Dallas’ last 8 games have had less than 6 goal totals.  Chicago had under 5.5 games 3 of their last 5, but they are often in high scoring games, which is why the oddsmakers feel there is an equal chance of an over or under game tonight.  This is the first game between these squads this season, so each will be testing each other out at first without taking a lot of chances.  Each team will respect each other and this should result in a low scoring game.

My Pick: Under 5.5 -110 (Bookmaker.com)

The NHL Betting Tips free predictions record is (36-39) on the season for -6.11 units.  We’ll look to begin turning this around tonight.
