Last night I went 3 for 3 including two big underdog victories by the Blue Jackets and Stars. Those underdog wins allowed for a 4.3 unit profit last night, so I hope everyone followed my plays! That brings the season record to (123-134) for -5.85 units. There are only two games in the NHL tonight and I only like one play, but check it out below.
Toronto Maple Leafs @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Maple Leafs went back to their losing ways last night and once again allowed plenty of goals in their 5-4 loss to the Boston Bruins. Toronto is now 2-10-1 in their last 13 and the teams playoff hopes are quickly disappearing. The Penguins on the other hand got some good news yesterday when Crosby revealed that he is symptom free and able to start practicing with full contact. He will not be in the lineup tonight, but it shouldn’t be long before the face of the NHL is back on the ice. I didn’t really like the odds for Pittsburgh to win tonight because as you can imagine they are massive favourites, but I do like the over 5.5 line. The Maple Leafs have gone over 5.5 total goals in 8 of their last 10 games, mainly due to not being able to keep the puck out of their net and I expect a possibly tired Maple Leafs team to get lit up tonight. That being said the Maple Leafs have some firepower of their own, which should help us hit the over for tonight’s game. The Penguins have also gone over 5.5 in 7 of their last 10 games, which makes me more confident in tonight’s play.
