**Hey guys, Niko here. I ran the picks here at NHLBettingTips.com for the past few years, but I’m now adding my picks at my main site SportsBettingCanadian.ca so check that out if you enjoyed my picks from last year. I’m going to be doing my same type of break down picks at Sports Betting Canadian, so if you’re into longer readups and game analysis check me out over there.
NHL Betting Tips is going to try a more analytical approach this year, so I’m introducing Brandon who will be posting his picks this year which he is making using line movement trends to make “smart money plays” he will explain more about the theory behind his plays in each of his posts. SportsInsights.com is a great resource for those of you interested in getting a program that follows the line movements, etc.
Either way it will be fun to see which of us has a better record through the season! Brandon will keep his record posted in each upcoming post as well. But that’s enough I’ll let Brandon get to his pick tonight…..
Edmonton Oilers @ Arizona Coyotes
Edmonton has not started their season out as they had hoped coming in 0-3. With tonight’s game they complete their three game road trip in Arizona. On Tuesday, the Oilers lost 6-1 to the Kings. Viktor Fasth got the start at goalie for the Oilers and allowed three goals on 11 shots before leaving in the first period with a groin injury. Ben Scrivens took over and gave up the other three on 15 shots. They clearly have issues currently at the goaltender position. Also, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, is out for the game with an undisclosed injury.
Meanwhile, Arizona starts Mike Smith at goalie who did give up four first period goals to Winnipeg last Thursday. However, Smith is 8-0-1 with a 2.29 goals-against average in his last 10 starts against the Oilers. This game will come down to who has the better goalie play and I’m more than willing to back Arizona in this spot. 5dimes opened this line at Arizona (-170) and currently is at (-210) with 55% off all off-shore bettors
Play: Coyotes ML 1.513 @ 5Dimes.eu
Enjoy the game and good luck!
