Last night I made one play and it turned out to be a heart breaker with the Stars losing in a shootout to the Penguins. The Stars could have easily won this game, so I still think the sharp money was on the Stars, but sometimes the right play doesn’t win. That loss brings the season record to (119-132) for -9.20 units. March is upon us, which means we are down to the stretch run towards the playoffs. My goal now is to come out of the regular season with a profit, which I believe to be a very manageable goal. Tonight there are plenty of games, but I only found 1 sharp play.
Florida Panthers @ Winnipeg Jets
The Panthers take their 3 game winning streak to Winnipeg in an important game against the Jets. If the Capitals pass Florida and take the Southeast division lead then the Jets are the Panthers biggest threat for that last playoff spot, which means this game is big for their playoff certainty. As mentioned the Panthers are on a 3 game winning streak, albeit over weak opponents, but they have also won their last 4 games on the road and have been a fairly strong road team all season. As we all know the Jets have been very good at home this season (19-10-4), but they’ve actually lost their last two games (both at home) and have been a fairly average home team in the second half of the season. These are fairly even teams and this game could really go either way, but I don’t think the Jets have as big of a home advantage as the bookies are giving them credit for. For that reason I like the odds on the Panthers.
