02-08-20 | Flames v. Canucks -125 | 6-2 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After winning five straight, including the first two of their recent road trip, Vancouver then stumbled and lost three straight to finish it. That included a 4-0 loss at Boston and a 4-2 setback at Minnesota. But now they return home to friendly confines to face a Calgary team which they most recently hammered 5-2 on December 29th. The Flames have lost seven of their last ten and three in a row. Calgary is just 3-7 in its last ten in trying to revenge a two goal or higher home loss to an opponent while on the road. |

02-08-20 | Avalanche -131 v. Blue Jackets | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The rookie stepped in for the injured Joonas Korpisalo and has started all but two games since Dec. 31, going 12-2-0 with a 1.51 goals-against average and .953 save percentage, and has five shutouts during an eight-game winning streak after making 16 saves Friday. Colorado has won two straight road contests by a combined 10-2 after defeating Ottawa 4-1 on Thursday and sits in second place in the Central Division, seven points clear for a Western Conference playoff spot, after winning five of its last six games. The Avalanche won 4-2 on Nov. 9 in the first of two meetings this season behind a pair of goals from Calder Trophy contender Cale Makar, who has 40 points in 44 games - tied for the most among rookies with fellow blueliner Quinn Hughes of Vancouver. |

02-08-20 | Senators v. Jets -164 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 2 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets face an uphill climb in the Central Division, but head into Saturday’s home contest against the Ottawa Senators following a critical victory in St. Louis. The Jets blew a 2-0 lead but got the game-winning tally from center Andrew Copp and more outstanding goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck in Thursday’s 4-2 triumph, keeping Winnipeg fifth in the division standings and one point out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Senators bring the third-worst record in the NHL into Saturday, losing four games in a row and are 2-7-7 in their past 16 games following Thursday’s 4-1 home defeat to Colorado. |
|||||||
02-07-20 | Sabres v. Rangers -169 | 3-2 | Loss | -169 | 1 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kreider missed Monday's 5-3 loss to Dallas after he was accidentally kneed in the head by teammate Mika Zibanejad during Saturday's 1-0 victory at Detroit, but returned to score his seventh goal in 10 games in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Toronto. Buffalo is free-falling out of playoff contention after a 4-3 shootout loss to Detroit on Thursday left it 1-4-1 in its last six games and gave Detroit its first win in 10 contests. New York prevailed 6-2 on Oct. 24 in the last meeting - the first of three this season - behind two goals by Ryan Strome, and has won three straight over the Sabres by a combined 15-5. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | Canucks v. Wild -120 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 23 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota is 24-22-4-2 overall this year, however, they Wild are 15-7-2-2 at home. Off a 3-2 OT win over Chicago and winner of four of its last six overall, Minnesota now plays with revenge vs. the visiting Canucks after falling 4-1 back on January 12th. And with a game at Dallas tomorrow night, this evening's contest becomes that much more important for Minnesota here. Vancouver is finally starting to come back down to Earth of late. This is the final game of a five-game road trip and the Canucks enter having lost two straight. With a night off before contests vs. the Flames, Predators, Hawks and Ducks in Vancouver, this came is a "look-ahead/letdown" spot for the visitors as well. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | Kings v. Islanders -179 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anthony Beauvillier set up Jordan Eberle's tally late in the second period of New York's 4-3 overtime loss versus Vancouver on Saturday afternoon before scoring on a breakaway 2:52 into overtime to cap a two-goal performance in a 4-3 win over Dallas on Tuesday. Beauvillier has nine points (five goals, four assists) in his last seven contests for the Islanders, who improved to 5-0-3 at Barclays Center this season and 10-0-3 in the last 13 in the building since Jan. 12, 2019. Los Angeles is headed in the other direction with seven losses in its last eight games (1-6-1), with its latest setback on Tuesday coming after it surrendered three goals to Washington superstar Alex Ovechkin in a 4:24 stretch late in the third period. |
|||||||
02-02-20 | Blue Jackets v. Canadiens -134 | 4-3 | Loss | -134 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Montreal is eight points behind Columbus, which holds down one of the two wild-card spots in the East, after killing off all six Florida power plays Saturday and getting a career-high four points (all assists) from defenseman Jeff Petry. The Canadiens edged the Blue Jackets in a shootout 3-2 on Nov. 12 before center Pierre-Luc Dubois scored twice and set up another goal one week later for a 5-2 victory over Montreal at home, but Columbus has not won at the Bell Centre since 2017. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Ducks v. Kings -120 | 3-1 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ducks are just 2-5 in their last seven trying to revenge a same season loss vs. an opponent in which they scored one or less goals in, while LA is 6-3 in its last nine home games following an OT road win in which it conceded one or less goals in. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Bruins -128 v. Wild | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild are buried in the basement of the Central Division, but they went into the All-Star break with positive vibes after winning three of four to remain well within striking distance of a playoff berth. The Wild have a chance to make a move with seven of their next eight at home, beginning with today's matchup against the visiting Boston Bruins. Five of those next eight games are against teams sitting just above Minnesota in the standings, giving the Wild a chance to quickly make up a lot of ground. Boston has dominated Minnesota of late, extending its winning streak to five in the series with a 5-4 overtime victory on Nov. 23 behind two goals from David Krejci. The Atlantic Division-leading Bruins kicked off a rugged stretch of eight road games in their next 12 with a 2-1 victory at Winnipeg on Friday night. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Blackhawks +130 v. Coyotes | 3-2 | Win | 130 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With just over one-third of the regular season remaining, the Arizona Coyotes are trending in the wrong direction in the tightly bunched Western Conference playoff chase. Losers of seven of their last eight and mired in a season-worst four-game slide, the Coyotes aim to break out of their funk against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Arizona managed to earn only one point against the two worst teams in the Pacific coming out of the All-Star break and is hanging onto a wild-card slot. Coming off a 10-day layoff, Chicago had ripped off a season-high six consecutive victories, including three straight on the road, before losing to Florida in its final game before the All-Star break. |
|||||||
01-31-20 | Blues v. Oilers +117 | 2-4 | Win | 117 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues' recent struggles away from the Gateway City have prevented the reigning Stanley Cup champions from widening their gap atop the Western Conference. David Perron continued his torrid stretch by collecting a goal and an assist in regulation before scoring in the shootout of St. Louis' 5-4 victory over Calgary on Tuesday. The 31-year-old boosted his team-leading totals in goals (22) and points (52) with 10 and 22, respectively, over his last 17 games. While Perron has contributed two assists to help the Blues win the first two encounters with Edmonton, the Oilers have kept pace in the top-heavy Pacific Division by recording at least a point for the eighth time in their last nine games (6-1-2) with a 4-3 shootout loss to rival Calgary on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-31-20 | Capitals -185 v. Senators | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Offense has not been an issue for the Capitals, who have scored 20 goals over the past five games, but coach Todd Reirden was frustrated by a number of mistakes in Wednesday's loss. Ottawa won for only the second time in 12 games (2-5-5), following up Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to New Jersey with a 5-2 victory at Buffalo on Tuesday. In addition, the Capitals are 100-38 in their last 138 vs. Atlantic. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Lightning -200 v. Kings | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 26 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning managed to gain a point despite some old habits creeping back into their game last time out, and seek a better performance when they begin a tour of California tonight against the Los Angeles Kings. The Lightning improved to 12-2-1 with a 3-2 overtime loss at Dallas on Monday after the All-Star break, but struggled with turnovers and went 0-for-4 on the power play. The Lightning have won the last seven meetings, including a 4-3 shootout victory in Tampa Bay on Jan. 14 and a 6-2 win at the Staples Center last season, against the Western Conference-worst Kings. Los Angeles went into the break with four consecutive losses (0-3-1) and one victory in the last eight outings (1-6-1) as it continues to try to find building blocks for a better future. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Flames v. Oilers -116 | 4-3 | Loss | -116 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The season’s highly anticipated third installment of the battle of Alberta will take place in Edmonton on Wednesday when the Oilers host the Calgary Flames. Adding intrigue to the matchup will be the return of Edmonton forward Zack Kassian, who served a two-game suspension after retaliating for what he felt were questionable hits from Calgary forward Matthew Tkachuk during a 4-3 Flames victory Jan. 11. The Flames scored the game-winning goal on the second of two roughing minors Kassian was given for his actions that led to his suspension but as the provincial rivals are separated by one point in the Pacific Division. While today marks the Oilers first contest in 11 days, the Flames hosted the Blues on Tuesday and missed out on a crucial second point as they fell 5-4 in a shootout despite netting three power-play goals for the first time since Dec. 22 against Dallas. Calgary lost five of six games coming out of the 2019 All-Star break and six straight following the break in 2018. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Predators v. Capitals -151 | 5-4 | Loss | -151 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The All-Star break did little to alleviate the struggles of the Nashville Predators, who face the daunting task of attempting to snap out of their funk against the league's top team. Superstar captain Alex Ovechkin will return from a one-game suspension when the Capitals go for their fifth straight win tonight against the visiting Predators. Despite Ovechkin sitting out as punishment for his decision to skip the All-Star Game over the weekend, Washington won for the seventh time in nine games with a 4-2 victory at Montreal on Monday. While Nashville scored four third-period goals in a 6-5 home win over Washington on Oct. 10, it lost for the eighth time in 12 games (4-7-1) since the Christmas break after dropping a 5-2 decision to visiting Toronto on Monday. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Senators v. Sabres -175 | 5-2 | Loss | -175 | 22 h 18 m | Show | |

Buffalo is 6-2 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning % below .400, and 8-3 in their last 11 home games. In addition, the home team is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Penguins -125 v. Flyers | 0-3 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sidney Crosby hasn't missed a beat since returning from a 28-game absence due to a core muscle injury, collecting eight points (three goals, five assists) in four contests to keep the Pittsburgh Penguins surging along. The superstar captain aims to send the Penguins to their seventh win in eight contests today when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby, who set up a pair of goals in Pittsburgh's 4-3 comeback victory over Boston on Sunday afternoon, collected a goal and two assists in a 7-1 romp over Philadelphia on Oct. 29. The two-time Hart Trophy recipient has flustered the Flyers throughout his career to the tune of racking up 102 points (42 goals, 60 assists) in 68 encounters. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Islanders v. Rangers -105 | 4-2 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders look to snap a season high-tying three-game losing skid today when they visit the New York Rangers. The Islanders haven't fared well versus their cross-town rivals, sustaining a 6-2 defeat to the Rangers on Jan. 13 at Madison Square Garden before falling 3-2 three nights later in Uniondale, N.Y. The Islanders have answered a 23-8-2 start to the season by losing 10 of their next 15 games (5-7-3), including five of their last six (1-3-2) in which they have mustered just 11 goals during the defeats. The Islanders followed that loss with a demoralizing 6-4 setback to Washington on Saturday, a game in which coach Barry Trotz's club squandered a three-goal lead in the third period. |
|||||||
01-21-20 | Golden Knights v. Bruins -143 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins want to take some positive momentum into the All-Star break while also erasing the memory of a crushing defeat that brought an end to a streak lasting nearly nine years. The Bruins have dropped three of their last four -- with each loss on the road -- entering tonight's home game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Boston appeared on its way to beating Pittsburgh decisively for the second time in six days but could not protect a 3-0 lead in an eventual 4-3 defeat -- the team's first regulation loss when leading by three goals since April 2011. The Golden Knights come into this one having lost five of six (1-4-1) |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Blue Jackets +112 v. Rangers | 2-1 | Win | 112 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York has won 10 of its last 11 versus division rivals, including last month's 3-2 victory at Columbus, which extended its winning streak to four games with a 5-0 rout of visiting New Jersey on Saturday night. Winners of six of seven (6-1-0), the Blue Jackets were 11 points out of a playoff spot on Dec. 7 but have ascended to the top wild card by earning points in 18 of their last 20 games (14-2-4). |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Jets v. Blackhawks -112 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets had won six straight in the series before dropping a 4-1 decision on Dec. 19 against the Blackhawks, who have won four in a row and 11 of 16 to climb back into the playoff chase in the Western Conference. Chicago moved within two points of Winnipeg, which sits just outside playoff position, after rolling to a 6-2 victory at Toronto on Saturday as rookie Dominik Kubalik continued his hot streak with a pair of goals to reach 20. Kane, a former Hart Trophy winner, had an assist in the victory to move within one point of joining Hall of Famers Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Denis Savard as the only Blackhawks with at least 1,000 while captain Jonathan Toews is two shy of 800 after scoring twice and setting up two others Saturday. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Golden Knights v. Canadiens +113 | 4-5 | Win | 113 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Montreal signed Kovalchuk earlier this month in what smacked of a desperation move after he was waived by Los Angeles, but the former No. 1 overall pick is providing an offensive jolt. Kovalchuk had three goals and nine points in 17 games with the Kings but he has three tallies and four assists in seven games with the Canadiens after scoring twice in Thursday's 4-1 victory at Philadelphia. Montreal needs to get its power play untracked, as it has converted on 3 of 32 opportunities. The Canadiens have a renewed confidence and are trying to enter the All-Star break on a high note, rebounding from an eight-game slide (0-7-1) by winning three of their last four. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kings v. Flyers -151 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After putting forth spirited efforts in wins over Washington, Boston and St. Louis in the span of eight days, Philadelphia brought little to the party on Thursday and dropped a 4-1 decision to Montreal. Philadelphia looks to rebound from that loss and carries a 15-4-4 record at home into its tilt versus Los Angeles, which has lost three in a row on its five-game trek to fall to 7-16-4 on the road this season. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Flames -150 v. Senators | 2-5 | Loss | -150 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The first-place Calgary Flames conclude their three-game trip through Quebec and Ontario when they play the Ottawa Senators today afternoon. Calgary, which is in a virtual tie with Arizona in a Pacific Division that features the top five teams separated by two points, bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Montreal on Monday with a 2-1 shootout victory over Toronto on Thursday as goaltender David Rittich stole the show with 35 saves.Ottawa has lost nine straight (0-5-4) after a 4-2 setback to Vegas on Thursday. Calgary has won four straight meetings after a 3-1 victory Nov. 30 behind a pair of goals from Elias Lindholm. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Lightning -149 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -149 | 1 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning begin another long stretch away from home Thursday night when they attempt to snap a four-game losing streak against the struggling Minnesota Wild. The Lightning have won 11 of their last 12 games to pull within six points of first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division as they prepare to play six in a row on the road, straddling the All-Star break. Minnesota won 5-4 at Tampa Bay on Dec. 5 when it was enjoying an 11-game point streak, but the Wild have cooled off considerably with four straight losses (0-3-1) - six in the past seven contests - after a 7-3 setback at Pittsburgh on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Flyers v. Blues -170 | 4-3 | Loss | -170 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The reigning Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues hope to make more history when they go after a franchise-record 10th straight victory on home ice tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers. St. Louis outscored opponents 36-15 during its home streak, which equaled the previous single-season team record set in 1991, after knocking off Anaheim 4-1 on Monday for its fourth straight win. St. Louis, which entered Tuesday tied with Washington for the most points in the league (67), won both meetings with the Flyers last season and put up seven goals in the victory at the Enterprise Center. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Canucks +117 v. Jets | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets are searching for answers behind their struggles on home ice as they prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks today, after losing their sixth consecutive game at Bell MTS Place on Sunday against Nashville. That 1-0 defeat dropped the Jets to 10-10-2 in their own building, one season after going 25-12-4 there, and Winnipeg is 0-5-1 while being outscored 28-13 during the current losing streak at home. Vancouver comes into this one red hot and won for the ninth time in 11 games with Sunday’s 4-1 victory at Minnesota. Center Bo Horvat scored twice to give him 12 points (five goals) in his past seven games, with at least one point in six of those contests. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Blackhawks +104 v. Senators | 3-2 | Win | 104 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks begin a three-game trip through Ontario and Quebec today against the Ottawa Senators as they continue the long road toward postseason relevance. Chicago is tied for last in the Central Division, seven points out of playoff position and must pass five teams to get there, but coach Jeremy Colliton isn't ready to wave the white flag. Ottawa has lost seven straight (0-4-3) after a 2-1 overtime setback to Montreal on Saturday. The Blackhawks have won five straight meetings after an 8-7 victory in last season's series finale featured Alex DeBrincat's fourth career hat trick and his only five-point game. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Bruins v. Blue Jackets UNDER 5.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets are 8-2 to the under through their last 10 games, and both of their last two games saw just four goals each. Rookie goaltender Elvis Merzlikins is coming off his first career shutout and he owns a 1.88 GAA in his last seven starts. The Boston Bruins are 4-0 to the under after going past regulation the previous day, which they are here, after following a 6-5 shootout loss at Philadelphia last night. The Bruins had back-up goalie Jaroslav Halak in net for that game, but Tuukka Rask with his 2.36 GAA should be back for this contest. Columbus won the first meeting of the season 2-1 at Boston on Jan. 2 and the under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Stars -127 v. Sharks | 1-2 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A six-game winning streak has vaulted the Dallas Stars into second place in the rugged Central Division as they continue their road trip Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. Dallas, which sits seven points behind defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis, defeated Anaheim 3-0 on Thursday behind 27 saves and an assist from Ben Bishop, and has allowed two or fewer goals in every game during its run. San Jose is coming off a win for only the fifth time in its last 18 games (5-10-3). |

01-11-20 | Oilers +135 v. Flames | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers capped a brutal 10-game stretch (2-7-1) with a dismal performance against the Calgary Flames in the season's first installment of the Battle of Alberta. The Oilers have since rebounded and carry a five-game point streak (4-0-1) into the finale of a five-game road trip against their bitter provincial rivals in Calgary. Former Flames goaltender Mike Smith made 35 saves on Thursday as Edmonton answered an early two-goal deficit by scoring three times in the third period in a 4-2 victory over reeling Montreal. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Canadiens -133 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The teams have split two meetings this season, but Montreal has won four of the past five and 10 of 13 against the Senators, who tumbled to their season-worst sixth straight defeat (0-4-2) with a 3-2 shootout loss at Detroit on Friday. Ottawa will hope familiar surroundings can reverse its fortunes as it kicks off a five-game homestand against the Canadiens. Price is 25-9-6 with a 2.30 goals-against average and three shutouts versus Ottawa. |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Senators v. Red Wings +104 | 2-3 | Win | 104 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Ottawa Senators overcame a dreadful start and were hovering around the NHL version of .500 until hitting a tailspin since returning from the Christmas break. The Senators will look to put a halt to a five-game slide (0-4-1) when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night in a matchup of the Atlantic Division's two worst teams. The losses aside, Ottawa barely has been competitive during its current skid, giving up 22 goals in the last four contests after Tuesday's 6-1 mauling in Washington. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Wild v. Flames -152 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames finally put an end to a five-game losing streak at home last Thursday and now return to Scotiabank Saddledome in decidedly better spirits after winning three in a row. The Flames swept a two-game road trip by posting a pair of one-goal victories at Minnesota and Chicago and will face a rematch against the visiting Wild tonight. Calgary erased four one-goal deficits before pulling out a 5-4 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday and spotted the Blackhawks a one-goal lead before squeezing out a 2-1 victory on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-09-20 | Oilers +114 v. Canadiens | 4-2 | Win | 114 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers needed to get away from home to rediscover their game, posting back-to-back victories for the first time Nov. 23-24. The Oilers will look to extend their four-game point streak against an opponent that is seeking to avoid matching season-worst slide when they visit the Montreal Canadiens tonight. Edmonton has scored 19 goals during its 3-0-1 run, including a pair of impressive victories at Boston and Toronto -- Atlantic Division rivals of Montreal. The Canadiens appeared to be poised to take that next leap, winning six of eight entering the Christmas break, but they have stalled badly in losing seven in a row, including four straight one-goal setbacks. Tuesday Montreal fell to 0-3-0 this season against league-worst Detroit. |

01-09-20 | Canucks +135 v. Panthers | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Vancouver Canucks try to bounce back from their worst loss of the season when they continue a five-game trip Thursday against the Florida Panthers. Vancouver saw its seven-game winning streak end in lopsided fashion with a 9-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. The Canucks are fifth in the Pacific Division but only four points behind first-place Arizona and Vegas, and one point in back of Edmonton and Calgary. Florida has split its last eight games - all in regulation - after a 5-2 loss to Arizona on Tuesday left them outside playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Vancouver has won three straight meetings after a 7-2 victory Oct. 28 behind a pair of goals from J.T. Miller. |

01-08-20 | Stars -135 v. Kings | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Stars returned from the Christmas break by winning each of their next four games to build momentum and gain ground in the standings. After another break in their schedule, the well-rested Stars aim to pick up where they left off when they open a four-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings today. While the Stars are ascending, the Kings have countered a 4-0-1 stretch with losses in six of their last eight contests (2-5-1) entering the finale of their four-game home stand. |
|||||||
01-07-20 | Blue Jackets +110 v. Ducks | 4-3 | Win | 110 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets have secured at least a point in 13 of their last 14 games (9-1-4) and will look to continue their winning ways Tuesday when they visit the Anaheim Ducks. The Blue Jackets had an ideal start to their four-game road trip Monday with a 4-2 victory over the Kings, which extended their road point streak to eight games (5-0-3). The Ducks have two regulation victories in their last 17 games but are 6-9-2 during that span thanks to four shootout victories. The Blue Jackets were concerned when it was announced starting goalie Joonas Korpisalo would miss 4-to-6 weeks after surgery to repair a torn meniscus, but Elvis Merzlikins - who had a 0-5-3 record at the time of the injury - has won three of his four starts since taking over starting duties and has Columbus sitting one point out of a playoff spot. |

Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames kicked off their two-game road trip by avenging a defeat to one Central Division opponent and have a chance to get even against another. After coming back repeatedly in a 5-4 shootout win at Minnesota on Sunday night, the Flames pay a visit to Chicago on Tuesday night -- one week after dropping a 5-3 decision to the Blackhawks. Chicago has won four of five after erasing a two-goal deficit in a 4-2 victory over Detroit on Sunday in the opener of a four-game homestand. Crawford is 6-4-4 with a 2.56 goals-against average versus Calgary. |

Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers' struggles on the road have been prevalent all season, but the club's disastrous starts during their current three-game losing skid have been downright troubling. The Flyers look for a better beginning today when they conclude their season-high six-game trek against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers have been outscored 11-3 during the first period and 23-12 during those games. Philadelphia resides one point behind fourth-place Carolina in the Metropolitan Division |

01-06-20 | Avalanche -119 v. Islanders | 0-1 | Loss | -119 | 20 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche have made themselves at home on the road, with their 14 away wins serving as the most among Western Conference teams. Boasting a sizzling 7-1-1 record in their last nine road tilts, the Avalanche aim to continue their splendid play outside of Denver today when they visit the New York Islanders in Uniondale, N.Y. While Colorado resides five points out of first place in the Central Division, New York has lost two in a row and five of seven (2-4-1) to fall into third in the Metropolitan. A sputtering offense has contributed to the troubles of the Islanders, who suffered a 3-0 setback to Toronto on Saturday to mark the fourth time in six games that they have scored two goals or fewer. New York is 0-3-1 in its last four games at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Colorado sports an 11-2-2 record against Eastern Conference representatives this season. |

01-05-20 | Red Wings v. Blackhawks -200 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The bedraggled Red Wings have won only three of their last 22 (3-17-2) and are buried at the bottom of the league with 23 points. Missing two of its top forwards in Anthony Mantha and Andreas Athanasiou, Detroit has dropped seven of eight overall and the last three versus Chicago. |

01-05-20 | Flames v. Wild +100 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild followed their worst loss of the season - a 6-0 drubbing by Winnipeg on Dec. 21 - with a 3-0 victory over the Calgary Flames in their final game before the Christmas break. The Wild will look to complete a weekend sweep of the same two opponents when they host the Flames tonight in the front end of a home-and-home. The Flames stumbled out of the break by giving up 10 goals in losses to Chicago and Vancouver before squeezing out a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers. |

01-05-20 | Lightning +113 v. Hurricanes | 3-1 | Win | 113 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning have built a season-high, six-game winning streak entirely against their own Atlantic Division foes and will finally try someone else Sunday when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes of the Metropolitan. The Lightning have won 14 straight against Atlantic Division opponents after rallying with three third-period goals for a 5-3 victory at Ottawa on Saturday, improving to 3-0-0 on a four-game road trip. Tampa Bay G Andrei Vasilevskiy, who was rested Saturday, owns a .929 save percentage during his current four-game winning streak. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Rangers v. Canucks -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers look to finish off their four-game road trip on a winning note today when they face a red-hot Vancouver Canucks squad which is aiming for a seventh consecutive victory. The Rangers have recent experience ending win streaks as they snapped Toronto’s six-game run to open their road trip, but have since surrendered 11 goals during a pair of losses to Edmonton and Calgary. The Rangers allowed the Oilers to build a 6-0 lead on New Year’s Eve in what was ultimately a 7-5 setback, while on Thursday they gave up two breakaway goals to the Flames within the first eight minutes of the game and finished on the losing end of a 4-3 decision. Vancouver’s sixth straight win was in doubt on Thursday against Chicago as the Canucks found themselves down by two midway through the second frame before they stormed back to earn a 7-5 victory. |

01-04-20 | Penguins +102 v. Canadiens | 3-2 | Win | 102 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Montreal Canadiens are mired in a four-game skid, and the cause for concern that comes with being on the wrong end of the scoreboard has led to the team shuffling the deck with its roster. Fresh off the acquisition of Ilya Kovalchuk and a pair of trades, the Canadiens look to get back on track against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins today. The injury narrative is nothing new for Pittsburgh, which has endured more than its fair share this season but still sports a 10-2-1 mark in its last 13 games. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Jets +123 v. Wild | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild currently are five games into a stretch where they play 18 of 22 contests at home, but enter today’s home matchup with the Winnipeg Jets needing a spark after losing two straight. The Wild are 1-3 on home ice during the start of the stretch, which began with an ugly 6-0 loss to the Jets on Dec. 21, and gave up the game’s first three goals in a 4-1 loss Tuesday to Toronto to enter the new year fifth in the Central Division. Minnesota is 5-6-1 in its past 12 games since a five-game winning streak from Nov. 26-Dec. 5, giving up 3.7 goals per game in that span while going 3-3-1 at home. The Jets, who are 12-7-1 away from home, open a four-game road trip and play seven of their next 10 on the road. Winnipeg has outscored the Wild 11-2 in winning the first two meetings this season. |

12-31-19 | Blues +100 v. Coyotes | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues put their eight-game winning streak on the line when they start a three-game road trip today against the Arizona Coyotes. St. Louis, which leads the Central Division by eight points, has outscored its foes 33-16 during the run after a completing a home-and-home sweep of Winnipeg 4-1 on Sunday, invoking memories of their dash to the title. Arizona has lost three straight after a 4-2 setback to Dallas on Sunday and fell into third place in the Pacific Division, where four points separate the top five teams. |

12-31-19 | Bruins -175 v. Devils | 2-3 | Loss | -175 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins managed to survive their worst rut of the season and are still maintaining a double-digit lead atop the Atlantic Division. The Bruins go for their fourth consecutive victory overall and look to complete a three-game season sweep of New Jersey when they close out the 2019 calendar year with a visit to the Devils this afternoon. Jake DeBrusk scored twice in a span of 18 seconds as Boston extended its winning streak to three following a 1-4-4 swoon by completing a home-and-home sweep with a 3-2 victory over visiting Buffalo on Sunday. |

12-29-19 | Devils v. Senators -130 | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Senators are 11-5-1 at the Canadian Tire Centre, including 4-0-1 in the last five, and won the first of three meetings with the Devils 4-2 on Nov. 13 in New Jersey with a hat trick from Pageau. The Devils have lost three of four after falling 5-4 against Toronto at home on Friday when defenseman Damon Severson scored into his own net while trying to clear a puck to the back boards in overtime. |

12-28-19 | Kings v. Canucks -156 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vancouver entered its holiday break on a high note by securing three consecutive victories over teams currently holding playoff positions - Vegas, Pittsburgh and Edmonton. The Canucks will look to keep it going today when they finish off a five-game home stand against Los Angeles, which they’ve outscored 13-5 in two games this season. The Canucks became the first team this season to earn a win against Edmonton when trailing after two periods as rookie defenseman Quinn Hughes recorded his first career game-winning goal to help lift Vancouver to a 4-2 triumph over the Oilers on Monday. |

12-28-19 | Capitals +113 v. Hurricanes | 4-6 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington has 59 points and owns a 10-point bulge on the second-place New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division while enjoying a three-point cushion on St. Louis for the best record in the league. The break did nothing to reverse Carolina's fortunes as the Hurricanes lost their third straight, 5-3 at the New York Rangers on Friday. The Hurricanes have yielded an alarming 17 goals during their slide while the league's No. 6 penalty-killing unit entering Friday has gone cold by going 5-for-11 in the last three games. |

12-27-19 | Islanders -138 v. Blackhawks | 2-5 | Loss | -138 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago plummeted into the Christmas break with losses in six of its last nine games, capped by what captain Jonathan Toews aptly labeled as an "embarrassing" performance in a 7-1 shellacking at the hands of New Jersey on Monday. The bad news continued three days later for the Blackhawks, who announced that forward Brandon Saad will be sidelined three weeks with a right ankle injury while defensemen Brent Seabrook and former Islander Calvin de Haan will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. |

12-27-19 | Blues -120 v. Jets | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues hope to pick up where they left off before Christmas break when they head to Winnipeg on Friday to face the Jets in the first part of a home-and-home series. The defending Stanley Cup champions have won six games in a row and 10 of their past 13 following Monday’s 4-1 victory at Los Angeles, as center Brayden Schenn scored twice to help lift the Blues to a Western Conference-leading 54 points entering the holidays. Winnipeg limped into the holidays after a 6-2 home loss Monday against Montreal, falling to 2-4-0 in its past six games while giving up 24 goals with its penalty kill allowing seven goals in 14 chances in that span. |

12-27-19 | Maple Leafs -195 v. Devils | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The middle of November was not a stretch to remember for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who staggered through a six-game losing streak that led to the dismissal of coach Mike Babcock. The Maple Leafs have regrouped under new coach Sheldon Keefe and will carry a season-high five-game winning streak into Friday night's road matchup at the New Jersey Devils. High-powered Toronto scored 27 times in the last five games, punctuated by a five-goal third period in an 8-6 victory over Carolina on Monday afternoon in the final contest before the three-day Christmas break. Toronto swept all three meetings last season, outscoring New Jersey 17-5. |

Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues reside as the West's best team in the standings due in large part to how they have fared against the rest of the conference. The Blues carry a sparkling 16-2-3 record versus Western Conference foes into Monday's road game against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues boast an 11-4-3 record on the road heading into their tilt versus a Kings |

12-23-19 | Panthers v. Lightning -178 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning have won eight of the past nine meetings, including two of three this season, but continue their inconsistency against the rest of the league in 2019-20 with one win in the past four games (1-2-1) after going 0-for-7 on the power play - including 1:26 of a 5-on-3 in the third period - in Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Washington. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Flames +111 v. Wild | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wild had points in 14 of 15 games (10-1-4) before losing three of the past four and they will try to begin turning the tables on Calgary, which took two of three in the series last season and has won its past two trips to Minnesota. The Flames snapped a three-game losing streak by scoring three times on the power play en route to a solid 5-1 victory at Dallas on Sunday, producing one more goal than they managed during their 0-2-1 slide. Leading scorer Matthew Tkachuk (14 goals, 32 points) recorded a goal and two assists in the victory, but has been held to two points in nine previous contests against the Wild. |

12-21-19 | Penguins +103 v. Canucks | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pens downed the Canucks in a very high tempo game by the score of 8-6 on November 27th in a wild game. Malkin was a 2G+3A night. Guentzel had 2G+2A of his own and Guentzel had 1G+3A. This will be the last regular season PIT/VAN game of the season. Pittsburgh is 6-2-1 in the last nine overall games against Vancouver. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Blackhawks v. Avalanche -220 | 5-3 | Loss | -220 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These two teams played each other just three days ago -- that one in Chicago -- and the Avs took a decisive 4-1 victory. Now the Hawks get a rematch, but it likely won't get any easier on the road in a place where the Avs have lost just four times in regulation (out of 16 home games). Although the Hawks won in Winnipeg on Thursday, they are just 6-11 on the road this season, scoring an average of just 2.59 goals per game away from Chicago. That likely won't get it done tonight against one of the best offenses in the league. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Canadiens v. Oilers +106 | 3-4 | Win | 106 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the Oilers' last home game before Christmas and they'd badly like to make it count. As for playing two games in two days, the Oilers are actually 3-0 in that situation so far this season, winning 4-1, 4-3 and 3-2. The home team won both meetings last season, the Oilers winning 6-2 here at Edmonton. The Habs are on the third leg of a long road trip and they're a bit banged-up. Having already won the first two games of the trip, they could be a little more complacent than their hosts. |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Penguins -114 v. Oilers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins have run roughshod over Western Conference representatives this season, posting a spectacular 13-3-1 record to help them remain in the thick of the action in the Metropolitan Division. The Penguins, however, look to avenge a rare setback in that sequence when they visit the Edmonton Oilers. Pittsburgh G Tristan Jarry has turned aside 171 of 179 shots this month to improve his NHL-best totals in goals-against average (1.85) and save percentage (.940). Oilers G Mikko Koskinen answered a dismal six-goal effort in a loss to Carolina on Dec. 10 by allowing six goals on 110 shots over his last three games (1-2-0). |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Maple Leafs -154 v. Rangers | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to be coming together under new coach Sheldon Keefe and will seek to match a season-high winning streak when they go for their third straight win at the New York Rangers tonight. The Maple Leafs have won four of five to improve to 8-4-0 since Keefe took over behind the bench for the fired Mike Babcock. Today's matchup will be the 14th away from home in the last 18 games for Toronto, which has won six of its last nine on the road. Since winning three in a row just prior to Thanksgiving, the Rangers have sputtered by going 4-4-2 over their last 10. New York also has had to navigate a rugged schedule with seven of nine on the road before dropping a 5-2 decision at home to Nashville on Monday. |

12-19-19 | Wild v. Coyotes -150 | 8-5 | Loss | -150 | 3 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Coyotes are going to be hungry for this one, as the Wild have beaten them twice already this season. They're 13-8 (+4.9) in the revenge role. The Wild are tough to beat at Minnesota but not so much on the road. In fact, they're 9-1-3 in Minnesota but 7-13-3 on the road. Knowing this is their final home game before Christmas, look for the motivated Coyotes to take this one. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Canadiens +118 v. Flames | 4-3 | Win | 118 | 3 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Habs have won four of their last five overall and they own a winning record as a road underdog this season. Tonight they'll face a Flames team that is not playing all that great at the moment, coming off back-to-back home losses under interim coach Geoff Ward. Additionally, we can note that Montreal has been efficient on the man advantage lately (4-for-8 over the past four games) and it has won the last three in this series. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Stars v. Lightning -159 | 4-3 | Loss | -159 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas holds a playoff position in the Western Conference despite sitting fifth from the bottom of the league in scoring (2.57) and have managed to record more than three goals only once in the past 10 games after a 2-1 loss to Edmonton at home on Monday. Tampa Bay G Andrei Vasilevskiy, who recently passed Bishop for most wins in franchise history, is 5-0-1 lifetime versus Dallas. |
|||||||
12-18-19 | Avalanche -142 v. Blackhawks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in a home-and-home series as part of a recently concluded nine-game point streak. The Avalanche aim to get back on track in Chicago on Wednesday before ending a three-game, four-day stint by hosting the Blackhawks on Saturday. Nathan MacKinnon set up a goal in Colorado's 5-2 setback to St. Louis on Monday, boosting his point streak to five games (two goals, five assists) and giving the former top overall pick 33 points (12 goals, 21 assists) in his past 18 games. The latter total includes two sterling performances versus Chicago, against which MacKinnon collected a goal and three assists in the Avalanche's 5-2 win on Nov. 29 before he scored a goal and set up two others the following night in a 7-3 victory. |

12-14-19 | Canucks v. Sharks -125 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose, which continues a seven-game homestand, has lost four straight games in regulation and is on a 0-5-1 slide. The Sharks have a new coach in Bob Boughner but it did not help in his first game behind the bench as they lost to the Rangers 6-3 on Thursday. Despite the recent struggles, the Sharks are 7-3 in their last 10 games as a favorite while going 41-13 in their last 54 home games off a home loss by three goals or more. The Canucks are coming off a five-game homestand and this is their first road game in December. The Canucks are 2-6 in their last 8 games following a win. |

12-14-19 | Maple Leafs -128 v. Oilers | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs seek their seventh straight victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday while completing a rugged four-game road trip. Toronto has won the last three season series while Frederik Andersen, who tries for career victory No. 200 on Saturday, is 11-0-1 with a .928 save percentage versus Edmonton. Toronto started its trek with victories over St. Louis and Vancouver before losing to Calgary 4-2 on Thursday, and is 6-4-0 since Sheldon Keefe replaced Mike Babcock as coach. Edmonton has lost three straight after a 6-5 setback at Minnesota on Thursday and is 2-5-1 in its last eight games. |

12-14-19 | Hurricanes v. Flames +108 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames have ignited their offense, and victories have followed suit. The Flames have highlighted a nine-game point streak (8-0-1) by winning each of their last seven games heading into Saturday afternoon's contest against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. Calgary scored three times in the third period of Thursday's 4-2 victory over Toronto, marking the fifth consecutive contest that the Flames have scored at least four goals while remaining undefeated since Geoff Ward was named the interim coach in place of Bill Peters. |

12-08-19 | Rangers v. Golden Knights -210 | 5-0 | Loss | -210 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers have lost all four matchups this season against Pacific Division opponents, but will have a chance to end the drought when they open a four-game road trip at the Vegas Golden Knights tonight. he Rangers may want to blot the memory of Monday's matchup against the Golden Knights, who scored twice in the opening four minutes to kick off a three-game trek in which they earned five of six points. Vegas goaltender, Fleury has won all three starts, allowing six goals, in three starts against New York since joining Vegas. |

12-07-19 | Penguins -194 v. Red Wings | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins improved to 5-2-0 in their last seven contests despite a host of injuries, including captain Sidney Crosby (hernia), and they welcomed back forward Bryan Rust and defenseman Justin Schultz on Friday from lower-body injuries. While the Penguins are hanging in the playoff race despite many obstacles, the Red Wings have lost 10 straight contests (0-8-2) and own the least points (17) in the league along with the least in franchise history through the first 30 games of a season. |

Rating: 2 Units Capitals are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing record, 16-5 in their last 21 overall, and 21-9 in their last 30 games as a road favorite. While Kings are 4-11 in their last 15 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 6-22 in their last 28 vs. Eastern Conference and 1-4 in their last 5 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. |

12-03-19 | Lightning +101 v. Predators | 3-2 | Win | 101 | 22 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brayden Point, who missed the first three games of the season while finishing his recovery from double hip surgery, has warmed up with six goals in his last six games to take over the team lead with 10. Right wing Nikita Kucherov had 17 points in 11 November games after managing 11 in 12 October contests and leads the team with 28 after recording an assist Saturday. Mikhail Sergachev has all three of his goals in the last six contests and shares the team lead with fellow defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (five goals, 19 points) with a plus-9 rating. |
|||||||
12-03-19 | Maple Leafs -105 v. Flyers | 1-6 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The loss to the Flyers ignited a six-game winless skid for a Toronto club that dismissed coach Mike Babcock in favor of Sheldon Keefe. The Maple Leafs rebounded to win four of their next five, with captain John Tavares scoring in overtime of a 2-1 victory on Saturday in the back end of a home-and-home series against Buffalo. |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Islanders -200 v. Red Wings | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Islanders snapped a three-game slide last time out and hope to end their scoring slump Monday night when they visit the struggling Detroit Red Wings, who have dropped nine consecutive contests. Thomas Greiss, who left in the first period due to illness, and Semyon Varlamov combined for a shutout as the Islanders defeated Columbus 2-0 on Saturday after scoring just twice during their slide (0-2-1). |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Devils v. Sabres -120 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams come in off losses. The Devils were blanked 4-0 at home by the Rangers, while the Sabres fought tooth and nail only to come up short in OT at Toronto. The Devils were 0-8 on their power play in their last loss and while they've been decent of late on the road, I think this team stumbles again here. While the Sabres have struggled over the last two weeks, they remain a sharp 7-3-3 at home this year. Buffalo is also 9-5 in its last 14 vs. clubs with losing records. Home ice matters tonight in my opinion. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Canadiens v. Bruins -176 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have earned points in 10 straight games (7-0-3) - the league's longest active stretch - and are the only team that has yet to lose in regulation at home. Those are just two of the streaks on the line for the red-hot Bruins, who also will vie for their seventh consecutive win when they host the reeling Montreal Canadiens tonight. Four of the victories during the current winning streak have come by one goal, but there was one notable exception: Boston annihilated the Canadiens 8-1 in Montreal on Tuesday night behind a hat trick from David Pastrnak. The Canadiens are focused on a streak of their own - namely ending a slide that reached seven games (0-4-3) with a 4-3 overtime setback to Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. Aside from capping a winless five-game homestand, Montreal established a dubious franchise record with 24 goals allowed in the last four at home, eclipsing the previous mark of 23 that was set in March 1935. |

Rating: 2 Units Forwards David Perron (11 goals, 26 points) and Brayden Schenn (13, 24) each extended their point streaks to six games Friday and O’Reilly scored for the first time in nine contests. Walker had one hit in 10 minutes of playing time Friday while Derrick Pouliot (one shot, two hits, one block in 10:36) also made his season debut with fellow defensemen Carl Gunnarsson (illness) and Robert Bortuzzo (suspension) scratched. Jake Allen turned aside 31 shots for the victory at Dallas and No. 1 goalie Jordan Binnington (12-4-4, 2.27 GAA, .925 SP) is expected to tend the net Saturday. |

11-30-19 | Capitals -210 v. Red Wings | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals have answered a modest skid (3-2-2) with a sweep of the Sunshine State contingent to create momentum heading into their four-game road trip. The Capitals open that trek on Saturday against the ice-cold Detroit Red Wings, who have lost eight straight (0-6-2) while being outscored 19-2 in their last four contests. Washington recorded its NHL-best fifth multi-goal comeback on Friday after overcoming a two-goal deficit in the third period before defenseman Dmitry Orlov scored 3:03 into overtime of a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay. Orlov's second goal of the season and first career overtime tally allowed the Capitals to tie Boston with league high-tying totals in wins (18) and points (41). The Red Wings reside at the other end of the spectrum with an NHL-worst seven wins and 17 points, and the club surrendered at least five goals for the 13th time in 28 games following Friday's a 6-1 shellacking by Philadelphia. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Predators +108 v. Panthers | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators seem to have pulled themselves out of a slump with points in four straight games (3-0-1) after Pekka Rinne earned his 350th career victory with a 3-0 shutout at Carolina on Friday. That means backup Juuse Saros will likely get the start Saturday for Nashville, which has allowed eight goals during its point streak after surrendering 30 in a 0-5-1 stretch that preceded it. |

11-29-19 | Kings v. Sharks -145 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Jose Sharks recorded a 4-3 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Kings earlier in the week to improve to 9-1-0 in a 10-game stretch before falling flat in their last outing. The Sharks look to overcome their misstep and get back on the fast track Friday when they host the Kings. The Sharks better have more in the tank as they return from Thanksgiving with a back-to-back set against Los Angeles and Arizona (Saturday). |

11-29-19 | Maple Leafs -153 v. Sabres | 4-6 | Loss | -153 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs have responded well to a change of coaches, rattling off three straight victories under Sheldon Keefe. After erupting for a season-high output in a 6-0 drubbing of Detroit, the Maple Leafs look to close out a six-game road trip on a high note when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in the front end of a home-and-home. Keefe replaced Mike Babcock after Toronto dropped six in a row (0-5-1) and joined Pat Quinn (1998-99) as the only coaches in franchise history to start their careers 3-0-0. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Rangers v. Bruins -208 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have regained their footing following a wobbly one-week stretch earlier this month and have built a 10-point lead atop the Atlantic Division. The Bruins vie for their sixth consecutive victory overall and look to remain unbeaten in regulation at TD Garden when they open a five-game homestand Friday afternoon against the New York Rangers. Lundqvist is 1-2-0 with 12 goals allowed in his last three against Boston. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Oilers +115 v. Avalanche | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche are banged up and will have to do without forward Mikko Rantanen and defenseman Erik Johnson when they host the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday night. The Pacific Division-leading Oilers are coming off back-to-back wins following a 4-3 SO triumph at Arizona on Sunday. They have the top scorers in the NHL in Leon Draisaitl (48 points) and Connor McDavid (47) who put on a show when they beat Colorado 6-2 on Nov. 14. As for the Avs, they're coming off back-to-back defeats and I think they'll struggle to contain this powerful Oilers offense. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Bruins -153 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins experienced a bit of a lull after a red-hot start and are beginning to warm up again with four consecutive victories as they complete a two-game trip with a matchup against the improving Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. The Bruins went 1-2-3 after beginning the season 11-1-2, but posted 21 goals during their current winning streak after rolling to an 8-1 victory at Montreal on Tuesday, and have won nine in a row against Ottawa. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Sharks -107 v. Kings | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose has won two in a row and nine of ten and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas here as well. After an atrocious start, the Sharks have completely turned things around, especially on the defensive end (just two goals allowed the last two games.) LA won three in a row, but it enters having lost two of its last three. The Kings are one of the worst offensive teams in the league (26th) and I think they struggle to put the biscuit in the basket vs. this suddenly surging Sharks side. Clinchers: San Jose is 8-3 (+4.7 units) this year vs. clubs with losing records while LA is only 4-6 vs. its division thus far this season. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Predators v. Blues -115 | 4-2 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators have been carved up for 30 goals during their tailspin after surrendering five power-play tallies in Thursday's 6-3 home loss to Vancouver. The Blues are perched atop the Central and own the best record in the Western Conference after earning points in 13 of their last 15 games (11-2-2) and winning two straight following a 5-0 drubbing of Calgary on Thursday. The balance of power has shifted in the series, with St. Louis winning the past four meetings after Nashville prevailed in the previous five. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Wild v. Bruins -209 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins are the lone NHL club that has yet to lose in regulation at home while the Minnesota Wild are the only team in the league with 10 regulation defeats away from home. Judging by those numbers, the Bruins have to like their chances of extending their 12-game point streak at TD Garden when they host the Wild tonight. The Bruins improved to 8-0-4 at home with a 3-2 victory over Buffalo on Thursday night and also have history on their side against Minnesota, winning the past four meetings and posting a pair of shutouts last season. The Wild already have played a league-high 14 games away from home and won only four times (4-10-0) and now have to play their next three on the road. |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Oilers +122 v. Sharks | 5-2 | Win | 122 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Edmonton is 4-1 in its last five as an underdog, and San Jose is coming closer and closer to a flat spot after reeling off six straight victories. Note that the Sharks had lost five on the bounce prior to their current winning streak, and this should be a tough one against the division-leading Oilers. Edmonton is 6-4-1 on the road and has been red hot on the power play in recent games. Additionally, it will be seeking revenge for a 6-3 loss here in the Shark Tank a week ago. |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Bruins -136 v. Devils | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 1 center Patrice Bergeron (lower body) sat out Saturday's game and did not practice Monday, but there was some good news on the injury front for Boston. Jake DeBrusk (lower body), a 27-goal scorer last season, returned to practice Monday after sitting out five contests and is listed as a game-time decision along with fellow forward Brett Ritchie, who also rejoined the team. Forward Brad Marchand has 20 points in 30 games versus the Devils after collecting a goal and an assist last month. Goaltender Cory Schneider, a two-time All-Star with New Jersey, was placed on waivers Monday and will be sent to Binghamtom if he goes unclaimed. Schneider made six appearances this season and has been dogged by injuries the previous two seasons. Bruins G Tuukka Rask is 9-4-2 with a 1.34 goals-against average and four shutouts versus New Jersey. |
|||||||
11-18-19 | Ducks v. Capitals -218 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A high price to lay with the Caps tonight, but even higher is the likelihood they win this game. Over the weekend, they picked up a hard-fought win in Boston (went to a shootout). That win prevented them from dropping B2B games for the first time since they were 2-1-2 just five games into the season. Since then, they've gone 13-2-2, scored more goals than anyone and generally looked like best team in the league. Anaheim also won its last game, 4-1 in St. Louis. But preceding that win was a five-game losing streak, all of the losses coming on home ice. Winning B2B road games against the two teams that played in LY's Stanley Cup Final seems like a tall order for a team that simply doesn't score much. While the Ducks have played one less game than the Capitials, they've scored 27 fewer goals. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Sabres v. Blackhawks -133 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jack Eichel took it upon himself to lift the proverbial monkey off his team’s back Saturday as the Sabres captain scored all four goals in a 4-2 victory over Ottawa that gave Buffalo a win for the first time in more than three weeks. The Sabres will look to build some momentum after snapping a six-game winless streak (0-5-1) when they visit a Chicago Blackhawks squad which is coming off a 7-2 drubbing of Nashville on Saturday. Chicago’s victory Saturday gave them a 5-1-1 record in their last seven games after going 1-4-2 in the seven prior. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Avalanche +125 v. Canucks | 5-4 | Win | 125 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The fast start to the season has slowed to a crawl for the upstart Vancouver Canucks, who answered a blistering 9-1-2 run with losses in five of their last six contests (1-4-1). The Canucks aim to regain their footing today when they conclude their four-game homestand against the Colorado Avalanche. Vancouver matched the goal total during its four-game losing skid in Tuesday's 5-3 victory versus Nashville before struggling to ignite its offense two nights later in a 4-2 setback against Dallas. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Ducks v. Blues -155 | 4-1 | Loss | -155 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Louis has gotten accustomed to playing in tight games as seven of its last nine contests have gone beyond three periods with the Blues coming away with victories in five. St. Louis returns home riding a nine-game point streak (7-0-2) thanks to Ryan O’Reilly, David Perron and captain Alex Pietrangelo, who each contributed 11 points during the stretch. Pietrangelo saw his four-game point streak end Friday but the 12-year veteran still sits among the top 10 among defensemen in goals (six) and points (17). |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Blackhawks +165 v. Predators | 7-2 | Win | 165 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks have finally discovered an offensive groove, reversing a trend from early in the season when they managed to score more than three goals only once in a span of a dozen games. The Blackhawks have won three of their last four, scoring five goals in each of the wins, and hope to carry the momentum into tonight's matchup at the Nashville Predators. Chicago spotted host Vegas an early two-goal lead before erupting for five unanswered tallies Wednesday to extend its point streak to four games (3-0-1). |
|||||||
11-15-19 | Blues -103 v. Blue Jackets | 2-3 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues have not missed a beat since hoisting their first Stanley Cup in June, even withstanding a devastating injury to high-scoring forward Vladimir Tarasenko. The Blues own the best record in the Western Conference and are riding an eight-game point streak heading into Friday night's matchup at the skidding Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets have lost seven of eight overall (1-5-2) after giving up a last-minute goal before falling in a shooting at Montreal on Tuesday. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Golden Knights -160 v. Red Wings | 2-3 | Loss | -160 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The road team has won all four previous meetings as the Red Wings try to post their first winning streak since opening the season with a pair of victories and Vegas attempts to avoid a three-game slide. The Golden Knights opened their four-game trip with a win in Columbus, but lost in overtime at Toronto on Thursday before dropping a 5-2 decision at Washington on Saturday after giving up the only two goals of the final period. Max Pacioretty scored for the third time in four games this month Saturday while fellow forward Reilly Smith has scored three times in three contests to become the first Vegas player to reach 10 goals this season. |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Golden Knights v. Capitals -118 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington, which played seven of its first nine on the road and went 7-1-1, continued its stellar play away from home by rallying for a 5-4 overtime victory at Florida on Thursday. The Capitals extended their point streak to 10 games (9-0-1). The Golden Knights will be facing Washington for only the third time since the Capitals ended their magical inaugural season with a five-game win in the Stanley Cups Finals in June 2018. Vegas has played four consecutive one-goal decisions but has only win to show for it, losing in overtime three times during that span, including Thursday's 2-1 setback in Toronto. |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Flames v. Capitals -170 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington has notched at least four goals in seven of its last eight games (7-0-1), scoring four times in the first period alone in the 6-1 mauling of the Sabres. The Capitals went 4-0-1 on their five-game road trip that included a 5-3 victory over Calgary, which blanked another Metropolitan Division opponent as David Rittich made 43 saves in a 3-0 win at Columbus on Saturday night. |
