Tampa Bay Lightning over San Jose Sharks 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Tb is clearly at this point the best team in the league. A whopping 15-0-1 in their last 16. Sj is also a very good team especially at home. However 2 distinct adv heading into this one. Sj has cluster injuries on defense and going up against Tb this will especially hurt. Secondly goaltending Vasilevskiy save % 923 against Jones 897 is a big adv for Tb. I have this game at 1.27 giving us excellent value.
Vegas Golden Knights over Anaheim Ducks 1st 60 minutes ONLY: If it were not for Gibson Ana would be much further back than it is. Veg has won 4 in a row Ana has lost 6 in a row. Ana is 29th in home offense. They have struggled to score goals all year. Veg is 1st in CF on the road. If Gibson steals a game so be it however the value is with Veg. I have this game at 1.55.
Boston Bruins over Carolina Hurricanes 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Both teams will play their 3rd game in 4 nights. Bost will make the short trip. This game has minimal if any home ice adv. Often there are as many Bruin fans as Car fans in the crowd. Bost is 6-0-1 on zero days rest. Bost has won 3 in a row and are getting healthier and more dangerous with the return of Bergeron. Car is 2-8 in their last 10. Lastly we get a med adv in net with Rask vs. Mrazek. I have this game at 1.34 giving us excellent value.
Washington Capitals over Carolina Hurricanes 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Holtby will start for Wash. For Car it will either be Darling who is not even good enough to be a 3rd stringer or rookie prospect Nedeljkovic who will get his 1st start. Regardless we get a big adv. Wash is 10-2 in their last 12. Car is in a really bad spot. This will be their 3rd game 4 nights they battled hard in Mtl last night losing 6-4. This will be their 8th straight game with a rink change. I have this game at 1.51 giving us excellent value.
Vegas Golden Knights over New Jersey Devils 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Veg is 8-2 in their last 10. Nj is 2-8. Nj returns from the west coast and have been off for 4 days. NJ plays Nash on the road tomorrow. Kinkaid will start that game while Schneider gets the start tonight. Schneider has not won in forever. His save % is .862. He has lost his #1 to Kinkaid. We the better team in better form and a big adv in net. I have this game at 1.45 giving us excellent value.
Toronto Maple Leafs over Carolina Hurricanes 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Tor has lost 2 in a row and I am expecting a bounce back wake up call from them. Car returns from a west coast 3 game trip and have been off 4 days. They will have trouble funding their legs at least for the 1st period. Tor has the #1 road offense. Tor has already lost here in Nov they will not take this team lightly. Lastly we get a med adv in net with Andersen vs. Mrazek. I have this game at 1.42 giving us excellent value.
Anaheim Ducks over Carolina Hurricanes 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Ana got off to a horrendous start mainly due to injuries. They are healthier than anytime this year. Ana has won 5 in a row and are 7-3 last 10. Even when they were losing it was offense that struggled Gibson is one of the best goaltenders in the game. Car will play their 6th straight where they have had to travel. Stall is likely out along with leading scorer Ferland. Regardless who they start in net we get a med adv. Couple this with home ice and I have this game at 1.26 giving us excellent value.
Vegas Golden Knights over Vancouver Canucks 1st 60 minutes ONLY: No need to get off a hot Veg team yet. We won with them in Chic last time out. The combination of Fleury in goal and Pacioretty on offense Veg after a slow start beings to resemble the team from last year. Veg on the road is #1 in CF. Vanc got off to a surprising fast start but since has gone 1-9 in their last 10. I have this game at 1.79 giving us excellent value.
Vegas Golden Knights over Chicago Blackhawks 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Veg after a slow start is beginning to heat up. Fleury has posted back to back shout outs and the team has won 3 in a row. Chic is being priced like the team they used to be. This team has gotten old and slow in a hurry. Chic is 2-8 in their last 10. Crawford struggles off injury to regain his old form. Against a fast moving team like Veg this is a bad match up for Chic. Corsica for on the road Veg ranks #1. I have this game at 1.39 giving us excellent value.
New York Rangers over Philadelphia Flyers 1st 60 minutes ONLY: Nyr have been an early pleasant surprise. They have won 3 in a row and are 8-2 in their last 10. Will it last probably not? They simply give up too many quality scoring opportunities. Phil has the same problem every year. Simply cannot find a quality goaltender. Regardless if Lyons or Pickard start we get a med adv in net. Phil has lost 4 in a row. I have this game at 1.17 giving us excellent value.
