NHL Betting Tips January 8th

Flyers predictionIt’s been a while since my last predictions post and that is because I was in Las Vegas for the past couple of weeks.  My friend and I hit up UFC 168 and followed that up by participating in the World Series of Beer Pong, so there obviously wasn’t enough time to get up tips posts.  I’m back now and have no trips planned for the foreseeable future, so I should be able to get back into the site right through until the Stanley Cup Champion is crowned.

The season record is 27-53 for -29.26 units.

There are only three games on the schedule tonight and I’m going to keep my first post back fairly quick and pick 2 games tonight.

Montreal Canadiens @ Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers have been on a tear of late winning 8 of their last 10 games.  This team got off to a horrible start, but they have since turned it around and now actually sit 2nd in the Metropolitan division, behind only the Pittsburgh Penguins.  The Flyers have a solid 11-7-0 home record and even though they played last night the confidence they have right now will be enough to get them past a Montreal team that has been fairly average of late.

Play: Flyers 1.909 (5Dimes)

New York Rangers @ Chicago Blackhawks

The Rangers are simply not that good of a team in my opinion.  They head to Chicago to play the best team in the league and a team coming off a tough 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks back on Sunday night.  The Blackhawks haven’t lost in regulation in their past 10 games, but I don’t expect this game to go to overtime.  The Blackhawks should be able to overwhelm the Rangers in this one and win by a significant margin.

Play: Blackhawks 1.571 (5Dimes)
