LA Kings @ Arizona 9:05 PM ET Game# 073-074 Play On: Arizona +140 (5*) This took a bit of guts for me to pull the trigger on. Nonetheless, after considering all the facts, I just couldn’t pass on this substantial money line underdog value. As bad a record as Arizona possesses, they’ve gone 5-1 in its last 6 at home, and that includes winning 3 straight in that precise role. The Kings won their last 2 games before the break. Nonetheless, Los Angeles hasn’t won 3 games in a row since 11/26/2016. The Kings are also 0-10 this season following a game in which there were a combined 3 goals or less score. Considering they’re coming off a 2-1 win in their previous game, that mark of futility takes hold this evening. Bet on Arizona for a 5* money line underdog wager. |

Washington @ Dallas 8:05 PM ET Play On: Dallas +120 (5*) Washington has been on fire offensively. The Capitals have scored 4 goals or more in 6 straight games. The Dallas Stars have allowed 3 goals or more in each of its last 4 games. You would think with this specific data that Washington would be a mortal lock on Saturday night. However, NHL money line betting history doesn’t indicate that to be the case. Any NHL home team (Dallas) that’s allowed 3 goals or more in each of their previous 2 games, versus an opponent (Washington) which has scored 4 goals or more in each of their last 4 games, resulted in those home teams going 58-27 (68.2%) since 1996.

Vancouver has seen just 1 of their last 8 home games go over the total. These 2 teams have combined to go 2-35 (5.7%) on the power play chances during each of their previous 5 games.

Washington defeated Pittsburgh 5-2 last Wednesday during the previous meeting between these Metropolitan Division rivals.

Detroit has gone 1-7 in their last 8 games following a win, and that includes losing 5 straight when cast into that role. Montreal has won 4 of their last 5 away games. Montreal has gone over the total in each of their previous 6 games. The Canadiens enter today with a +0.6 goal per game differential for the season. Conversely, Detroit has a -0.4 goal per game differential this season. Any road team which is -100 to -150 on the money line during the 2nd half of the season, and has a +0.4 or great goal per game differential, versus an opponent with a -0.4 to +0.4 goal per game differential, resulted in those road teams going an extremely profitable 26-3 (89.7%) since 1997.

NY Rangers @ Buffalo 7:05 PM ET Play On: Buffalo +120 (5*) Star center Jack Eichel made his 2016-2017 season debut on Tuesday at Ottawa, and certainly reenergized a Sabres team that had been recently struggling. Eichel had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 Buffalo win against a then red-hot Ottawa Senators club. Eichel suffered a high ankle sprain a day before the regular season was set to start, and Buffalo’s offensive production struggled mightily in his absence.

Without Jonathan Quick (IR) in goal to bail them out, and with their recent run of offensive futility, fading the Kings is the right decision. Bet on the Penguins for a 5* money line wager. |
