Last night I went 2 for 3 with my plays, the only loss coming after backing the big underdog Blue Jackets against a depleted Red Wings team that found a way to win on the road. For the night I was 2-1 for +1.17 units, which brings the season record to (119-131) for -8.20 units. Tonight there are four games on tap, so let’s find some sharp plays.
Pittsburgh Penguins @ Dallas Stars
The Penguins have won 3 games in a row, while the Stars are on a 4 game winning streak so this is a match up between a couple of hot teams, but somebody has to lose tonight. The Penguins have not been great on the road this season, posting a 16-13-3 record, compared to the Stars home record of 18-12-2. The Pens have also lost 3 of their last 4 road games. Lehtonen who was amazing for the Stars early in the season also looks to have returned to form winning his last 3 starts and only allowing 3 goals in that span. Lehtonen is a huge part of the Stars team and when he is on they have a good chance to win, so him being the confirmed starter tonight bodes well for the Stars. I would have the Stars as a slight favourite in this game, so Dallas at +120 is a great play.
