04-22-23 | Golden Knights +104 v. Jets | Top | 5-4 | Win | 104 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
10* Vegas (BLOCKBUSTER) We had a big play on Vegas in Game 2 and the Knights pulled away for the relatively simple 5-2 victory, after stumbling and losing Game 1 by a score of 5-1. The Jets were great at home this year (26-13-1-1), but the Knights were exceptional on the road (26-7-5-3.) Remember, the Jets sneaked into the No. 8 spot on the final day of the regular season. After the Game 2 letdown, we're exepcting another one here from Winnipeg. In every metric the Knights are superiors, and now they also have the momentum. All things considered, we view this to be the very definition of "great line value;" the play is the Knights! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-21-23 | Stars v. Wild +102 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 102 | 29 h 12 m | Show |
10* Wild (BLOCKBUSTER) We had the Wild in Game 1. We then took the Stars in Game 2, which was our NHL Western Conference Playoff Round 1 GAME OF THE YEAR. Congrats to the many that joined us with those two "rocking chair" victories. Now the "zig-zag" theory continues here, as we get great value on the hungry home side. The Wild come off the 7-3 beatdown, but note that they're 6-2 in their last eight in trying to avenge a loss in which they allowed six or more goals in. The bottom line here is we feel we're getting great line value on a really good home team here in the Playoffs; the play is indeed on Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-21-23 | Bruins -147 v. Panthers | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 27 h 18 m | Show |
10* BRUINS (MONEY-BOMB) The Bruins won Game 1, but stumbled in Game 2 by a score of 6-3. Boston went 31-8-1-1 on the road. Boston is a near-perfect 6-1 in its last seven in trying to avenge a three goals or greater home loss against an opponent. At this price, we're getting fantastic value on the best team in the league. Look for a decisive bounce-back here and lay the price with confidence; the play is Boston! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-21-23 | Hurricanes v. Islanders -113 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
10* Islanders (BLOCKBUSTER) The Islanders got blown away by the Hurricanes in Game 1 by a score of 2-1, and they almost evened it up in Game 2's 4-3 OT setback. Now back at home and with the biggest game of the season right here, we're expecting the Isles to indeed bounce back here in Game 3. Overall this is great value on the hungrier and desperate home side. These first two games were much tighter than anticipated, as a PUCKLINE play on NY would have delivered in each contest. But for this one here, the price is just fantastic, so we'll be hopping on board the Islanders for sure here in Game 3! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-20-23 | Jets v. Golden Knights -140 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 31 h 13 m | Show |
10* Vegas (U OF THE U) Las Vegas won the Pacific division, but it fell 5-1 in Game 1. With their backs against the wall, and looking to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole before having to go North of the border, we're expecting the Knights to risk life and limb here getting into shooting and passing lanes to secure a victory. Las Vegas has to be feeling confident in this spot though, as it's responded well by going 7-1 in its last eight in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent; lay the price with confidence, the play is the Golden Knights! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-20-23 | Lightning v. Maple Leafs -155 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 29 h 31 m | Show |
10* Leafs (ASSASSIN) I had Toronto in Game 1, and while the Leafs came out flat in that one, we're expecting a complete turn-around as far their performance here. Toronto is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a home loss against an opponent. The Leafs play with the added incentive of revenge here as well after getting eliminated in the first round last year by the Bolts. With their backs against the wall in what is essentially a "do or die" game, clearly their biggest of the entire season, look for the Leafs to find a way to get the job done and lay the price with confidence! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-19-23 | Wild v. Stars -146 | Top | 3-7 | Win | 100 | 30 h 2 m | Show |
10* Stars (WEST-CONF RND 1 GOY) We had a play on the Wild in Game 1, and while that underdog play hit, we now expect the Stars to risk life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes here in Game 2 to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole heading back to Minnesota. Dallas responded well in this spot for bettors all season, going 4-1 in its last five in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite against an opponent. We're expecting this recent and strong trend to carry over here. All things considered, this line could/should in fact be a lot larger, and for us, that does indeed swing the value in favor of the his undervalued and revenge-minded home side; lay the price, the play is Dallas! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Lightning v. Maple Leafs -152 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -152 | 29 h 8 m | Show |
10* Leafs (EAST-CONF RND 1 GOY) Toronto won two of three in the regular season. The Leafs have an opportunity to get a big monkey off their backs if they can get rid of TB here in the first round. I think they can do it. TB has reached the SC Finals in three straight years, but there's no question that the Lightning finally took a small step back this season. And we're expecting that regression to continue here in the postseason. Toronto is deperate, as the organization hasn't won a playoff series since 2004. Finally, this is revenge for the Leafs, who were eliminated in the first round in seven games by the Bolts last season. All things considered, I think we're getting great line value here; lay the price, the play is Toronto! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-18-23 | Rangers v. Devils -124 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -124 | 29 h 49 m | Show |
10* Devils (SUPER BLOWOUT) It's the Playoff edition of the Hudson River Rivalry, and in our opinions, home ice advantage will prove to be crucial here in this first game. These teams played four close games during the regular season, with two of them going to OT. With an opening line like this, clearly the oddsmakers believe these teams are very evenly matched. But New Jersey is also a near-perfect 7-1 in its last eight after three or more days of rest. This line should/could in fact be a bit larger, so the value here swings to the home side; the play is the Devils! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Wild +125 v. Stars | Top | 3-2 | Win | 125 | 36 h 41 m | Show |
10* Wild (BLOOD-BATH) Dallas got bumped out of top spot in the Central by the Avs on the final day of the season. Their reward is a much tougher matchup here against a much better team in the Wild. This is a bad series matchup for Dallas in our opinions. The Stars are a great defensive team, but lack offensive punch still. The Wild are a much more balanced all-around team. These two Central Division opponents match-up well against each other, but that, in our professional opinions, swings the value here to the underdog; the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-17-23 | Islanders +154 v. Hurricanes | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 33 h 18 m | Show |
10* Islanders (LIVE-DOG DESTRUCTION) New York is going to throw its best shot at Carolina here in Game 1, and we're predicting the minor upset. These are two of the best defensive clubs in the league. Carolina narrowly edged out the Devils for top spot in the Metro. The Isles are back in the playoffs though after missing out last season. These teams offensive and defensive numbers are really almost identical. In what we believe will be a competitive series that goes six or seven games, we look for New York to get it done here in Game 1! AAA Sports |
|||||||
04-03-23 | Golden Knights v. Wild -131 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -131 | 13 h 54 m | Show |
10* Wild (GOW) No need to overthink this one. The Wild had won five of six and three in a row before a 4-1 loss at Vegas on Saturday. Note that Minnesota is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. With a game at Nashville tomorrow, I say the Knights get caught "looking ahead." All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value;" the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-31-23 | Flames -120 v. Canucks | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show |
10* Flames (EXPRESS) Calgary has won three of its last four, including a qualit 2-1 victory over the Kings at home last time out. The Flames are currently sitting in ninth spot in the East, just two games back of Winnipeg. Vancouver is in 11th. It'll need a miracle to earn a playoff spot. It had its three-game win skein snapped in a tuogh 6-5 OT loss at St. Louis last time out, and I say another letdown is in order here at home, a place where it's just 17-18-0-1. Calgary is a solid 16-11-9-2 on the road, and I expect it to step up and take advantage here; lay the price, the play is indeed on Calgary! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Islanders -190 v. Blue Jackets | 4-5 | Loss | -190 | 26 h 39 m | Show | |
6* Islanders (DESTRUCTION) I think the Isles are well worth the price of admission in this spot. New York has won three in a row and has had two nights off after destroying the Leafs 7-2. With a game tomorrow night at home vs. Buffalo, New York won't leave anything to chance here. Columbus had lost three straight and seven of eight before a rare 7-6 OT win in the nation's capital in its latest. Can anyone say "letdown" spot?! With New York fighting for a better playoff spot, let's lay the price with confidence; the play is the Islanders! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-21-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Stars -152 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -152 | 14 h 32 m | Show |
10* Stars (WEST-CONF GOW) I think the home side is well worth the price of admission in this spot. The bottom line is that I still think the Kraken are getting too much respect from oddsmakers, after their surprising first half record. Especially on the road. But that mystique has worn off since the All Star game. Dallas is 17-9-6-2 at home. They just snapped a two-game slide with a 6-5 OT win at Calgary. They beat Seattle 5-2 in the last matchup a week ago, and I'm expecting a similar beatdown here as well on their own ice; lay the price with confidence, the play is the Stars! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-12-23 | Senators v. Flames -185 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
8* Calgary (BLOWOUT) I think the Flames are worth the price in this spot. Ottawa is fatigued after a 5-3 loss at Vancouver just last night. The Flames are coming off an uninspiring 3-1 loss to the lowly Ducks here at home in their last outing. They play with the added incentive of revenge here as well after a 4-3 OT loss at Ottawa in mid-February. That however is working in our favor here as well, as note that the Flames are 4-1 in their last five in trying to avenge a loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. Lay the price with confidence, the play is Calgary! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-06-23 | Predators v. Canucks -104 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 10 m | Show |
10* Canucks (NON-CONF GOM) Nashville is 31-23-5-1, including 15-13-3-0 on the road, but the Canucks play with the "revenge" factor here today at home, and I believe that motivating angle will indeed be more than enough to secure a victory here for Vancouver. After B2B road wins, I think the Predators stumble here, looking ahead to three nights off before a more favorable matchup vs. Arizona. Vancouver is coming off a 4-1 win over Toronto, and as mentioned, it plays with revenge here after falling 5-4 to Nashville in a shootout back in February. I think Vancouver is the much "hungrier" team in this fight and at this price at home, the correct call for sure; the play is the Canucks! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Jets v. Oilers -147 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
10* Oilers (BLOOD-BATH) Both teams are really in need of a victory. For me, "home ice" is going to be the difference here. This is the opener of a home and home set between these teams, as they'll be in Winnipeg tomorrow night. The Jets have been terrible of late, losers of four straight and six of their last seven. But Edmonton just snapped a two-game slide with a 5-2 win here over the Leafs. The Oilers also play with revenge after a 2-1 loss to the Jets here on December 31st. That's significant to note though as the Oilers are 4-1 in their last five in trying to avenge a home loss as a favorite against an opponent. This will be a public play, which means the faster you can bet this one, the better; the play is on the Oilers! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-26-23 | Capitals v. Sabres -109 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
10* Sabres (BOB) This is a non-contrarian play, which is not like myself, but the public is correct almost 50% of the time, and in this case, I think the Sabres could/should in fact be much larger favs in this spot. The Capitals finally snapped a six-game slide with a very satisfying 6-3 win over the Rangers just last night. Can anyone say immediate "letdown" spot?! Buffalo is off two straight quality road wins, beating Tampa Bay 6-5 in OT, and then Florida the next night by a score of 3-1. With a night off to prepare for this one, the Sabres will now look to improve upon their 11-15-2-0 home record. All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value;" the play is Buffalo! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-21-23 | Red Wings v. Capitals -148 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -148 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
10* Capitals (ASSASSIN) Washington did beat Detroit 4-3 at home in November, but I'm throwing the "revenge" factor out the window here today. That was a long time ago, and Washington now comes in desperate to snap a four-game slide, most recently fall 4-1 to Carolina. I say the Capitals haven't forgotten how to play hockey and I expect them to show up here tonight. Detroit just had its five game win streak snapped in a 4-2 loss at Seattle and I say it's primed for another letdown here as well. The fact that the wagers are split 50/50 on this contest says a lot I think. But the public trying to find value on this underdog is the wrong move in my opinion. Look for the Capitals to dig deep here and deliver in front of the home town crowd! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-20-23 | Islanders v. Penguins -129 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -129 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
10* Pens (METROPOLITAN GOY) Two good teams, but "revenge" is the difference in this one. New York is just 1-4 in its last five. The one win was a come from behind 5-4 home victory over Pittsburgh on Friday. Note that the Pens are 7-2 in their last nine in trying to avenge a conference road loss against an opponent. Pittsburgh is off B2B losses, but it's 15-7-4-0 at home still. New York is just 11-14-2-2 on the road. This will be a popular pick among bettors, but I still really love how this one sets up for the home side; the play is Pittsburgh! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-11-23 | Devils v. Wild -113 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 26 m | Show |
10* Wild (ASSASSIN) No need to over think or overanalyze this one. The Devils have been great this year, but after opening up the second half with B2B home wins, I'm expecting a small letdown here in the opener of this tough road swing. Conversely, the Wild have opened the second half with three straight losses, which is important to note for us here, as Minnesota is 7-2 in its last nine after three or more straight losses in a row. Expect the "hungrier" and more desperate home side to find a way to deliver; the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Canucks v. Islanders -210 | 6-5 | Loss | -210 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
6* Islanders (CHOKE-OUT) I'm laying the price here and expecting an absolute beatdown. Vancouver is brutal on the road and it comes out of the all star break with two straight really tough losses, falling 5-4 in OT at Jersey, and the 4-3 at the Rangers just last night. Fatigue's a major issue here. The Isles though have won two straight since the reak, most recently hammering the Kraken 4-0 here two nights ago. New York throttled the Canucks 6-2 in Vancouver earlier in the year, and I'm expecting a similar style lop-sided destruction here as well; lay the price, the play is New York! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Ducks v. Blackhawks -129 | 3-2 | Loss | -129 | 14 h 41 m | Show | |
8* Hawks (DESTRUCTION) I just think a great spot here for the Hawks. The Ducks played and lost 3-2 in a shootout just last night at Dallas, and despite coming in off the All Star break, I believe fatigue will be a major factor here in the second game of the B2B. The Hawks beat the Ducks 3-2 in Anaheim at the start of the season, but I expect a more comfortable victory here at home. With Arizona coming to town on Friday, this is a two-game home stand that Chicago will be digging deep to try and sweep. One game at a time, this line could/should in fact be much larger in my opinion; the value indeed swings to the Blackhawks! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-07-23 | Oilers -151 v. Red Wings | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
8* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Oilers. I think Edmonton is worth the price of admission in this one. The Oilers have won seven of their last ten. They average 3.7 GPG, ranked No. 1 in the league. Detroit returns to action having gone 5-5 in its last ten. The Oilers average 3.0 GPG, which ranks 24th. This is the first matchup of the season between the clubs but look for the well-rested Oilers and their superior offense to dig deep here and find a way to deliver; the play is indeed on Edmonton! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-01-23 | Bruins v. Maple Leafs +113 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 27 m | Show |
10* Leafs (Atlantic GOM) It's the last game of the first half before each side, and I believe that the revenge minded home side offers fantastic value to get the job done. Boston has lost three straight. It's limping towards the finish line here and I think it'll just go through the motions in Toronto. The Leafs do indeed play with revenge after falling 4-3 in Boston in the middle of January. The Leafs have won three of their last four including a commanding 5-1 victory over Washington here most recently. All things considered, I view this to be the very definition of "great line value;" the play is Toronto! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Kings v. Hurricanes -200 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
6* Hurricanes (SPECIAL) It's the final game before the All Star break for both teams. I expect the Kings to just "go through the motions" here though, while I believe that Carolina truly wants to finish off the first half with one last victory, after steamrolling its way to the No. 1 spot in the Metropolitan, overtaking the idle Devils over the last two weeks. Carolina has won five straight and everything points to it keeping the foot on the gas one more night. LA's five-game road trip started well with three straight wins, but it fell 5-2 at Tampa most recently. A loss tonight, and it's still a successful overall trip. Look for Carolina to go up early and keep the pedal to the metal until the final horn blares; lay the price with confidence, the play is Carolina! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-29-23 | Capitals v. Maple Leafs -135 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
8* Leafs (DESTROYER) Toronto is off a 6-2 loss at home to Ottawa, but I say it bounces back here at home against Washington, avenging a 5-2 loss in the Nation's capital in December. And with the Bruins coming to town on the 1st of February before the All Star break, this is a important game here for sure. Washington is off a 3-2 SO win over the Pens at home two nights ago. It has one more game at Columbus before the break land I say the Caps get caught "looking ahead." All things considered, I believe this line could/should in fact be much larger; the play is Toronto AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-28-23 | Sabres v. Wild -175 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
8* Wild (SPECIAL) I like the Wild to post a victory here in their final game before the All-Star break. Buffalo actually returns home after this for one final game against conference opponent Carolina on Feb. 1st and I believe they'll get caught "looking ahead." Who could blame the Sabers for finally having a bit of a letdown after five straight wins, including three straight on the road? Minnesota though just snapped an ugly three-game slide with a tough 3-2 OT home win over Philadelphia. The Wild play with revenge here as well after a 6-5 loss at Buffalo at the start of 2023. Expect the Wild to fold up their tents and throw in the white towel here early; lay the price, the play is Minnesota! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Red Wings v. Islanders -160 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
8* Islanders (ROUT) The Islanders have a big opportunity to wipe away the stench of a six-game losing streak in the final outing before the All-Star break. New York plays with the added incentive of "revenge" here as well after falling 3-0 to the Wings in early November. Note that New York is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a shutout loss as a favorite against an opponent. The Wings are off a thrilling 4-3 OT win at Montreal just last night. Expect Detroit to just "go through the motions" here in the final game before the break; lay the price with confidence, the play is the Islanders! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Penguins v. Capitals -111 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
10* Capitals (SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION) I think a great spot and a great price here on Washington. These teams are evenly matched, but from a situational stand point, this one definitely looks good for the Capitals. Pittsburgh has been trading wins and losses over its last six games, and after an exhausting 7-6 OT win over Florida in its last outing, I'm expecting this pattern to continue. The Capitals play with revenge after a 4-1 loss to the Pens in November. Pittsburgh returns home after this to play lowly San Jose as well before the All Star break, so it's a "letdown + look-ahead" position, and that normally = trap game. Washington comes in hungry to avenge that loss and snap a two-game slide. And with B2B road games before the all-star game, this is an important home contest that they can't afford to look past. In my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." The play is Washington! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Hurricanes v. Stars -102 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
10* Stars (BLOOD-BATH) Two really good teams here, and it wouldn't be too difficult to write a convincing argument for either side to win. But at this price, I think the revenge-minded home side is the correct call. Dallas comes in off a 3-2 OT loss to Buffalo. It lost 5-4 at Carolina in December. With the Devils coming to town next, I expect the Stars to come in really focussed here. Carolina is off B2B wins, but with a game at home against the lowly Sharks next, I say the visitors get caught "looking ahead." As Bob Barker used to say: "The Price Is Right!" The play is the Stars! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Sabres v. Blues -130 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -130 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
10* Blues (ASSASSIN) I think good value here on the Blues. A great situational play overall. Buffalo has now won three straight after a tough 3-2 OT win at Dallas just last night. I layed the price and had the Sabres on the puckline option, but here I'm going against Buffalo. I say the Sabres are now definitely fatigued after that victory,a nd with a tough game at Winnipeg and Minnesota upcoming, it's also a "look-ahead" spot. Letdown + look-ahead = TRAP! St. Louis is off a 5-3 home loss to Chicago, so is definitely hungry to bounce back. It also plays with revenge after falling 6-2 to Buffalo back in November. All in all, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value." The play is the Blues! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-19-23 | Devils -125 v. Seattle Kraken | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -125 | 14 h 4 m | Show |
10* Devils (BEST OF THE BEST) I think the Kraken are getting way too much respect here. Seattle went on an amazing run, but I believe further regression is now in order after B2B losses. Note as well that Seattle is 10-9-2-0 at home, while New Jersey is 18-2-1-0 on the road. The Devils are coming off five straight wins and I say they try to end their incredibly successful road trip with one last big effort here. In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." The play is New Jersey! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-18-23 | Stars -155 v. Sharks | 3-5 | Loss | -155 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
8* Stars (SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION) I believe that Dallas is worth the price of admission in this spot. The Stars just snapped a two-game slide with a 4-0 win at Vegas last time out. They beat San Jose by a score of 5-2 in December and I'm expecting a similar sort of outcome here as well. Dallas has a much more difficult game at the Kings tomorrow night, so this is a golden opportunity that they simply can't look past. The Sharks are off a disheartening 4-3 shootout loss at home to the Devils, just another massive disappointment in a season of major letdowns. Lay the price with confidence, the play is Dallas! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-17-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Oilers -158 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
8* Edmonton (SPECIAL) I'm going to lay the larger price on the Oilers here. I think Edmonton is in fact undervalued here. Yes, the Kraken have been on an impressive run, and so far they've been even better on the road than at home, but I think this lop-sided trend will start to correct itself here. Seattle just had its eight-game win streak snapped in a 4-1 loss at home to Tampa just last night. Edmonton plays with revenge after a 5-2 loss to Seattle at the start of the month. Edmonton is playing its best hockey of the season right now after three straight wins and I believe it'll continue that hot run here; lay the price, the play is the Oilers! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-14-23 | Flames v. Stars -110 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
10* Stars (SUPER BLOWOUT) Calgary is getting a little too much respect here on the road in my opinion. It's 8-7-5-2 on the road, while the Stars are 12-4-1-2 at home. The Flames snapped a two-game road slide with a 4-1 win at St. Louis last time out, but I think they'll stumble again here against this focused Stars side that's out to rebound after a tight 2-1 OT loss at the Rangers in their last outing. Dallas averages 3.40 GPG, while Calgary averages 3.07. As I said, I think the Flames are overvalued in this spot; lay the short price, the play is Dallas! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres -110 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
10* Sabres (BOB) I think this is a great spot for Buffalo, and a great overall price. The Kraken have been on fire with five straight wins, including four straight on the road, but Buffalo plays with the added incentive of revenge here after a 5-1 defeat in Seattle in October. With a game at league-leading Boston up next, I say Seattle also gets caught "looking ahead." The Sabres have won eight of their last ten, but off a rare 4-0 home loss to Philadelphia, I think Buffalo bounces back big here in this favorable spot; the play is the Sabres! AAA Sports |

01-05-23 | Bruins -155 v. Kings | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
8* Bruins (SPECIAL) Two really good teams here, but I think the value does indeed lie with the road favorite. The Bruins are off a 2-1 home win over Pittsburgh, but they play with the added incentive of revnege here, as the Kings are one of the few teams to give them a loss with their current 29-4-1-3 record. LA won 3-2 at Boston in mid-December. LA is off the 3-2 home win over the Stars, but with a date at Vegas up ext, I think it'll come out flat here tonight. The bottom line is, I think the "revenge" factor will be all the motivation that Boston needs to win big tonight; lay the price, the play is the Bruins! AAA Sports |

01-01-23 | Sabres v. Senators -128 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
10* Senators (ASSASSIN) Buffalo has sure been great of late, but after six straight wins, inclding a 4-3 OT victory at league-leading Boston just last night, I finally expect a predictable letdown here. Right after New Year's Eve as well. Fatigue is a major issue here for the overachieving Sabres. The Senators are off a 3-2 loss here to surging Detroit, but they're no pushovers this season. They're 9-8-1 at home despite the loss last night. This one favors the home side, who would have gotten a much better nights sleep with no travel; great overall line value here, as Ottawa takes full advantage in my opinion! AAA Sports |

12-31-22 | Predators v. Golden Knights -160 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
8* Knights (BLOWOUT) No need to overthink this one. The Predators are just 6-8-2-0 on the road this year, while the Knights are 10-9 at home. Nashville though enters off an ultra-rare 6-1 win at Anaheim just yesterday, and I think it'll come in with "heavy legs" in the back-to-back scenario. Also, despite yesterday's big offensive outburst, the Preds still only average 2.59 GPG. Vegas will be eager to return to form here after falling 3-2 in a shootout at Anaheim in its most recent outing. But despite the setback, the Knights are still averaging 3.24 GPG. After two straight losses, look for Las Vegas to risk life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes to secure a victory here at home against the tired visiting side! AAA Sports |

12-27-22 | Oilers v. Flames -134 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -134 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
10* FLAMES (WEST-CONF GOW) The NHL returns from the Christmas Break, and I think this particular matchup favors the home side. It's always an interesting game when these Provincial rivals collide. These teams are in fact very evenly matched, as evidenced by their very similar win/loss records and their offensive and defensive numbers. The ultimate difference maker for me here though is that Calgary plays with the "revenge" factor after falling 3-2 at Edmonton in late October. Look for that to be more than enough to propel the home side to a comfortable victory here at home; lay the price, the play is the Flames! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Jets v. Capitals -145 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
8* Capitals (ROUT) Both teams played last night, so that favors the home side here. Winnipeg fell 3-2 at Boston, while Washington won 3-2 in OT at Ottawa. The Capitals got off to a slow start, but they come in on fire, having won three in a row and eight of their last ten. They beat the Jets 5-2 in Winnipeg last week, and I'm expecting a similar final outcome here as well. Look for the Jets to get caught "looking ahead" to their X-Mas break; lay the price, the play is Washington! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Jets v. Canucks -105 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
10* Canucks (U OF THE U) Vancouver has been playing a lot better of late, having won four of its last five after a 4-3 shootout win at Calgary on Wednesday. Winnipeg has been playing well als, it's off a 2-1 OT home win on Thursday, but with a game at Seattle tomorrow, I believe the visiting side will get caught looking ahead. These teams offensive and defensive numbers are very comparable over the last three weeks, but Vancouver is undervalued in this spot. In my opinion, this is in fact the very definition of "great line value;" the play is the Canucks! AAA Sports |
|||||||
12-08-22 | Kings v. Maple Leafs -165 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
8* Leafs (BIG-CHALK) I think the Leafs are worth the price of admission here today. The Kings have been good this year. They're 14-10, but off a 5-2 win at Ottawa last time out, I think they stumble here. LA is only averaging 3.43 GPG, while allowing 3.54. Toronto averages 3.07 GPG, while allowing 2.44. Toronto is off an impressive 4-0 win at Dallas and it plays with revenge here after a 4-2 loss at LA back in October. Look for Toronto to defend home ice and to avenge the earlier loss; lay the price, the play is the Leafs! AAA Sports |

11-30-22 | Sabres v. Red Wings -128 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -128 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
10* RED WINGS (Atlantic DIV GOY) I think we're getting really great value on the Wings here. Detroit is 11-6-3-1 this seasonl including 7-3-1-1 at home. Buffalo is 9-12-1-0 this year, including 4-5-0-0 on the road. The Sabres are off a tough 6-5 OT home loss to Tampa, while Detroit's four game win streak was just snapped in a 4-2 home loss to Toronto. Buffalo gets caught looking ahead here as well to its game at home tomorrow night vs. the defending Stanley Cup Champions. In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value," and it's for this reason for the most part that the Red Wings have become my 10* Atlantic Division GAME OF THE YEAR! AAA Sports |

11-23-22 | Bruins v. Panthers -102 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
10* PANTHERS (EXPRESS) Boston is 17-2. That's ridiculous. The Bruins are going to get hit hard by regression, and that decline starts here and now in my opinion. They're off the 5-3 win at Tampa on Monday, but after this they return home for five straight tough games vs. Carolina, Tampa Bay, Colorado and Vegas. I think Boston finally gets caught looking ahead. The Panthers play with revenge as well after a 5-3 loss to the Bruins back in mid-October (note that Florida is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to avenge a two goals or greater loss to an opponent.) In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value;" the play is Florida! AAA Sports |
|||||||
11-22-22 | Rangers v. Kings -103 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
10* LA Kings (ASSASSIN) I think the Rangers are getting too much respect on the road here. They're off the 2-1 win at San Jose, but with a game at Anaheim tomorrow, they'll have to be careful to not look ahead. The Kings are 11-8-2, but they've lost three of their last four. They'll be desperate to get back into the winner's circle here after a 3-2 OT loss at Seattle last time out. The Kings are 6-3-1 at home and I think the offer tremendous value in this spot; the play is LA! AAA Sports |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Golden Knights v. Maple Leafs -117 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -117 | 10 h 0 m | Show |
10* Leafs (NON-CONF GOW) The Knights are 11-2. They're 6-1 on the road. They're off a 6-4 win at Montreal on Saturday and they have a game at Buffalo on Thursday. Toronto is 7-4-2, including 5-1 at home. The Leafs offense has to get going. They had one of the top offenses in the league last year. This season they're averaging 2.85 GPG, while allowing just 2.62. The Knights are averaging 3.54 GPG, while allowing 2.08. That's No. 1 in the league. Despite how well Las Vegas has played to this point, I still think it's getting too much respect here on the road in this difficult road venue, vs. this really good team. As I mentioned above, the Toronto offense has yet to find its footing this year, but I expect to step up here and to avenge a 3-1 loss in Las Vegas in late October; great value here on Toronto! AAA Sports |

11-01-22 | Devils v. Canucks +109 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
10* CANUCKS (NON-CONF GOM) Momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor in sports and it's one in which the oddsmakers often have a hard time properly quantifying into a line at times in my opinion. And that's the case here. The Canucks infamously opened up this season by losing their first four games, in each they had at least a two-goal lead, and then went on to lose. Vancouver finally got its act together with a 5-4 road win over the Kraken, and then the following night they destroyed Pittsburgh at home by a score of 5-1. This Canucks team has just been the victim of circumstance at the start of the season, a series of unfortunate events. New Jersey is 6-3 after a 7-1 home destruction of Columbus. Now hitting the road for a tough Western swing, I believe the "hungrier" home side is the correct call here. The oddsmakers are now slow in recognizing how well Vancouver is playing, so let's take advantage; the play is indeed on the Canucks! AAA Sports |

10-25-22 | Penguins v. Flames -140 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
8* Flames (SPECIAL) Sometimes I completely dissect a game, looking at many different factors and angles, but other times I keep it simple. KISS, keep it simple stupid! And that's the case here. There's no reason at all to overanalyze this one. Pittsburgh coes in fatigued here after a 6-3 loss in Edmonton just last night. The Flames have had two nights off after a confidence-building 3-2 OT win over Carolina. The Flames then have three whole nights off after this before another long stretch of home games. It's an ideal situational play here on Calgary, as I believe this line could/should in fact be much higher. The value here lies in laying the price; the play is Calgary! AAA Sports |

10-13-22 | Rangers v. Wild -134 | 7-3 | Loss | -134 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
8* WILD (DESTROYER) The Rangers have a tough game at Winnipeg tomorrow night and I expect them to get caught looking ahead to that one. The Rangers feel super content after beating the Lightning 3-1 on Opening night. Minnesota finished second in its division last year. It was great offensively, and decent defensively. Marc-Andre Fleury went 9-2-0 with a 2.74 GAA for the Wild last year. Minnesota is 6-2 the last 8 in this series and I expect that strong run to continue here on Opening Night. Lay the price, the play is the Wild! AAA Sports |

10-12-22 | Blackhawks +335 v. Avalanche | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
8* Blackhawks (DESTROYER) Would I bet on Chicago in a seven game series against the Avalanche? No I would not. Do I think that the Hawks have much more than a "punchers chance" on Opening night to pull off an upset? I absolutely do. This line is much too large, and I think the value has swung the way of the hungry underdog visiting side. The Hawks were 28-42-12 last year. Patrick Kane is back for Chicago and he had 92 points last year. Petr Mrazek is net for Chicago this year and he finished 12-6 with a 3.34 GAA last season. The Avs won the Cup and Mikko Rantanen finished with 92 points. Alexander Georgiev and Darcy Kuemper will be tough to be in net this year for the Avs. Is there a major talent gap between these teams? There sure is. But on Opening night, I like Chicago to come out fired up and pull off the upset here. There is major regression in store for the Avs this season, and it all starts on opening night; the play is Chicago! AAA Sports |

10-11-22 | Lightning v. Rangers -109 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 36 h 17 m | Show |
10* RANGERS (GOW) The Bolts were 51-23-8 last year, while the Rangers were 52-24-6. The Lightning made it to the Stanley Cup last season, but then lost to the Avalanche. The Lighting were seventh in goals last year and sixth in goals against. This is a big time revenge game for New York though, which was eliminiated by Tampa in six games in the Eastern Conference final last year. New York was ranked 16th offensively last year and second in goals against. Igor Shesterkin finished 36-13-4 with a 2.07 GAA. Andrei Vasilevskiy had a record of 35-16-4 with a 2.46 GAA for the Lightning, but I still love the home side at this price and in this situation. Look for New York to "even the score" with a solid win at home on Opening Night! AAA Sports |

8* AVS (BLOOD-BATH) Tampa last Game's 1 and 2 here in Colorado and I believe the Lightning will now stumble here as well after losing Game 4 in overtime. The Avs can smell the blood in the water and I expect them to find a way to deliver here, and avoid having to travel back to Tampa. The Avs are 4-1 their last 5 at home, while the Bolts are just 1-4 their last 5 away from friendly confines. Colorado finally earned the crucial road win and now it has a golden opportunity to hoist the cup in front of the home town crowd. The "better" team wins tonight; the play is Colorado! AAA Sports |

10* LIGHTNING (GOM) Momentum. It's a very real, tangible factor in sports. Especially in the playoffs. Tampa was gassed after a tough 6-game series win over the Rangers. Colorado was rested and was "lucky" to win Game 1 by a score of 4-3 in OT. Then the Avs won Game 2 by a score of 7-0. It was the most goals ever let in by Tampa's Andrei Vasilivskliy. But Game 3 saw the Lightning make adjustments and win by a blowout score of 6-2. Game 1 was a coin flip. Game 2 was a blowout for the Avs. Game 3 was a blowout for the Lighting. This series has been evenly matched to this point, but I don't think that the home ice advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor in this series. One last point, the Lightning went down 0-2 to the Rangers in the ECF, only to then win 4 straight, allowing just 5 goals in the process. The value in Game 4 lies with the undervalued home side; the play is the Lightning! AAA Sports |

06-20-22 | Avalanche v. Lightning -106 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
10* LIGHTNING (GOW) New York Rangers' fans were rejoicing when their team went up 2-0 on the Lightning in the ECF's, only to then go on to lose 4 straight. That's likely not to happen here, but at the same time, I'm not counting out this experienced Tampa team yet. The Lightning are masters of making adjustments from game-to-game and I'm not reading too much into the 7-0 loss in Game 2. Note though, the Lightning are 6-2 in their last 8 in trying to revenge a shutout road loss against an opponent. The strengths and weaknesses of each club are well known. At this point, it's about handicapping emotions and momentum. It's do or die for Tampa tonight and I expect it to play like that. Conversely, the Avs are now primed for a classic letdown as they hit the road for the first time in the Finals. Look for Tampa to claw its way back into this series! AAA Sports |

06-18-22 | Lightning v. Avalanche -146 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 60 h 22 m | Show |
10* AVS (TOP) I had a play on Tampa on the puckline in Game 1, but for Game 2 I'm going to lay the price and play the Avalanche. It was an intense, back and forth Game 1, but with the momentum now on their side, I expect Colorado to win by a more decisive margin today. The Avs jumped out to an early lead, but then led the Lighting back into it, before securing the victory in OT. Andrei Vasilevkiy has been fantastic for the Bolts, but the Lighthing still only managed 23 shots on net in Game 1, compared to the Avs 38. Look for "home ice" to once again play a major factor for Colorado in Game 2! AAA Sports |

10* LIGHTNING (BLOOD-BATH) Momentum is a very real, almost tangible factor in sports. So far "home ice" has meant a lot in this series, but I say it has more to do with timing and chemistry. Just ask the Toronto Maple Leafs how difficult the Lightning can be. I've never seen a team make better key adjustments from game to game to stay competitive. I now have a hard time seeing New York mustering much of an offensive attack at all. This line could/should in fact be larger. I'm banking on Tampa winning a third straight here, and then going home with a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup Final; lay the price, the play is the Lightning! AAA Sports |

8* LIGHTNING (SPECIAL) The Rangers failed to take a strangle-hold on this series, falling to the Lightning in OT in Game 3. Tampa now has life and I think the Bolts will now go in for the kill here in Game 4 and even this series up. Up until Game 7, home ice advantage was crucial in the Rangers/Hurricanes series. New York has been at its best on home ice and I think it comes out deflated here after the "near miss" in Game 2. Tampa has uncharacteristically struggled in this series, but with momentum now on it side, I am going to lay the price with confidence and expect the home side to dig deep and find a way to deliver in this spot once again; the play is Tampa Bay!

10* OILERS (BLOOD-BATH GOW) Edmonton has had its chances in this series, but it's come up short. The Oilers advanced past the first and second rounds, but their defensive shortcomings have been exposed here finally by the Avalanche. Colorado has been far from perfect overall during the playoffs though and I think it'll come in a tiny bit complacent here. I'm not predicing that the Oilers come back and win 4 straight or anything, but this Edmonton team is going to play with pride here in Game 4 and risk life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes to try and avoid the humbling 4-0 sweep. Note though that the Oilers are 7-2 in their last 9 in trying to avenge 2 or more straight losses to an oppnent. I say NO SWEEP! AAA Sports |

06-05-22 | Rangers v. Lightning -170 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
8* LIGHTNING (DESTRUCTION) I'm surprised that New York won both games to open up the ECF. Tampa had extra time off to prepare and has come out flat, but with the shift in venue, I'm expecting New York to finally have a letdown here. The Rangers have struggled on the road for the most part during the playoffs, and I think that'll come back to haunt them here again as well vs. this depserate Lightning side. These teams are evenly matched, but Tampa could/should be a much bigger favorite in my estimation. Finally, note that the Bolts are 7-2 in their last 9 in trying to revenge 2 straight losses against an opponent. The value here is on a bounce back performance from the hungry Lightning! AAA Sports |

10* CANES (GOW) No need to overthink this one. The home side has won every game in this series. We can expect that trend to continue here as well. During the reg. season the Canes won 3 of 4 in the series. The Canes though are 9-0 their last 9 at home, while New York is just 1-6 in its last 7 here. Antti Raanta has allowed 1 goals in 5 out of the 6 games he's started at home. Look for Hurricanes to dig deep and deliver in friendly confines! AAA Sports |

10* HURRICANES (ASSASSIN) So far the home ice advantage has meant everything in this series, but I expect that trend to finally end here tonight. During the reg. season Carolina won 3 of 4. Carolina took Game 5 by a score of 3-1 and I expect an identical gameplan here in The Big Apple (Antti Raanta only faced 17 shots.) Igor Shersketin has been amazing for the Rangers, but look for Carolina's superior offense to get the job done here finally in Game 6; all things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!"

8* AVS (BLOOD-BATH) The Blues have put up a valiant fight in this series, but I'm expecting it to end here in Game 6. Colorado is 7-1 in its last 8 in trying to revenge an OT home loss against an opponent. St. Louis is just 2-5 in its last 7 home games as well. Darcy Kuemper bounces back in net here for the Avs in my opinion, he's still 5-2 with a 2.50 GAA. Colorado is the better team and I expect it to jump out to an early lead tonight, and never look back; lay the price with confidence, the play is the Avalanche! AAA Sports |

10* HURRICANES (RD) This has been a tight, lower-scoring series. The Hurricanes are still in the drivers seat though with a 2-1 lead and I say they bounce back here after the Game 3 loss. Note that Carolina is 7-1 in its last 8 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it was held to 1 or less goals in. Carolina had 44 shots on net last time out, and while Igor Shersketin has been great, I say he has a letdown here in Game 4. Great value on the Hurricanes! AAA Sports |

10* PANTHERS (ASSASSIN) I had a play on Tampa in Game 1, but I'll be laying the price with confidence here in Game 2, as I expect the Panthers to risk life and limb to ensure they don't get into an 0-2 hole. Tampa's been anything but consistent throughout these playoffs, susceptible to big stretches of futility. I say the Bolts are happy with having already earned a split. The Panthers looked a bit slow out of the gate in Game 1, but we can expect Florida to be the aggressor from the outset in this one. Finally, note that the Panthers are 7-2 in their last 9 in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which they were held to 1 or less goals in. The play is FLORIDA! AAA Sports |

Now down 3-1, I expect New York to extend this series at least one more game. The Pens took Game 4 by a score f 7-2, but note that the Rangers are a near-perfect 7-1 in their last 8 in trying to revenge a 5 goals or greater loss to an opponent. The Pens are still also just 3-8 in their last 11 on the road. Igor Shesterkin is an amazing talent and I look for the Rangers' netminder to bounce back here; the play is the Rangers! AAA Sports |

10* LEAFS (BOB) These are two really good teams. Two teams filled with talent and experience. Their offensive and defensive numbers are very similar. Honestly, it would not be difficult to write a convincing argument for either team to win today. The Lightning are in rebound mode here after a 5-2 loss in Game 3. Revenge? It works in some cases, but not here in my opinion. The Leafs (the players, coaches, the organization and its fan base), our without question the "hungrier" dog in this fight. The Leafs haven't won a playoff series in decades. Toronto will be risking life and limb again today and I think that's going to be the difference-maker. Tampa has depth and skill, but I say it's drive to win is now faltering. Expect Toronto's determination to win the day; the play is the Leafs! AAA Sports |

10* BRUINS (1ST RND. GOY) Just a plain old "common sense" play here with this one. The Bruins will be risking life and limb today to try and avoid the 0-3 hole. Carolina was great on the road this year, but even better at home. The Bruins are also 7-2 in their last 9 in trying to avenge 2 straight losses against an opponent. But, the Bruins have now lost 5 straight to Carolina after dropping all 3 regular season contests as well. Yes, Carolina will likely go on to win this series, but we can now expect Boston's best effor this evening. And in my estimation, that'll be more than enough to finally notch a victory; the play is the Bruins! AAA Sports |

8* BLUES (DESTRUCTION) Only three weeks left in the regular season, and fatigue is clearly a huge issue for teams playing the 2nd game of a B2B. Each of these team's played last night, meaning that the home ice advantage simply can't be overlooked as a very real deciding factor tonight. New York is off a tight 2-1 win at Carolina, and an imminent letdown is in the card in my opinion. The Blues play with revenge as well after a 2-1 loss at Long Island in March. St. Louis beat Minnesota 4-3 in OT last night and I say the Blues keep that momentum rolling strong here; lay the price, the play is St. Louis! AAA Sports |

10* STARS (EXPRESS) Toronto has sure been hot, but so has Dallas. The Leafs are off a tight 7-6 OT loss at Florida, giving up a huge lead in the unfortunate setback, and now they face a Stars side that's won 4 of its last 5 and which plays with revenge after a 4-0 loss to Toronto in mid March (note that Dallas is 7-2 in its last 9 in trying to revenge a shutout loss against an opponent.) All things considered, a great price here as I expect Toronto get caught looking ahead to its much more winnable home game against the lowly Canadiens next; lay the price, the play is Dallas!

8* PANTHERS (DESTROYER) I think that the Panthers are well worth the price of admission in this one. Toronto comes in off a highly-satisfying 6-2 win at Tampa just last night. We don't have to overthink this one at all. Toronto will be fatigued here for sure. Florida has won 4 straight, but it also plays with "revenge" here after falling 5-2 to the Leafs in late March. I say the revenge-minded home side digs deep here and takes advantage of this content and tired Toronto side; lay the price! AAA Sports |

10* CANUCKS (EXPRESS) Off 4 straight wins, including 2 straight in Seattle, I say the Knights finally have a letdown here in this difficult road venue. This is a home and home set, with two days off before a matchup in Vegas. I say the Knights take the foot off the gas here and get caught "looking ahead." The Canucks can't afford that same luxury though with that game in Vegas up next. Vancouver also plays with revenge here after falling 7-4 to the Knights on November 13th. When you add it all up, I say this one means A LOT "more" to the Canucks! AAA Sports |

04-02-22 | Wild v. Hurricanes -145 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -145 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
10* HURRICANES (EXPRESS) I feel Carolina should in fact be a much larger favorite here. I like playing against teams that have been on an extended win streak, and then lost a tight game. I like playing AGAINST them in the following contest, and that's the exact scenario here. Minnesota's 8 game win streak was just snapped in a tight 4-3 OT home loss to the Penguins and I expect a predictable letdown here now on the road in this difficult road venue. Carolina is off a 4-0 win over Montreal and it plays with revenge after a tight 3-2 loss to the Wild in mid Feb. As I said off the top, this line should be a lot larger; the play is Carolina! AAA Sports |

03-25-22 | Coyotes +355 v. Flames | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 17 m | Show |
10* COYOTES (GOM) A couple of weeks ago the Flames lost outright at home to Montreal as a big favorite, and I think they're going to suffer the same fate here. Calgary is clearly the better team and Arizona is going to have to play a really good game here to take advantage of this spot, but I believe Calgary is definitely overpriced again considering the circumstances. The Flames haven't been playing their best hockey of late, having split wins/losses over their last 6 games. They're off a 4-3 loss here at home to San Jose has a -300 favorite, but with Edmonton coming to town tomorrow night, I believe this sets up as a classic "look ahead" spot for the home side. The Coyotes play with revenge after a 4-2 loss to the Flames at the start of Feb. They're off 3 straight losses, but note that they're 7-2 in their last nine after 3 or more straight losses in a row. The value is WAY too good to turn down here; the play is the Coyotes! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-24-22 | Predators v. Golden Knights -104 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 31 h 28 m | Show |
10* KNIGHTS (BOB) Nashville is off a 6-1 loss at LA and I think it'll struggle here in this difficult road venue as well. With three whole nights off before a game vs. the lowly Flyers at home after this, this also sets up as a look-ahead spot. The Knights will look to take advantage, and to also avenge a 3-2 loss to the Predators on January 4th. Considering all of the above situational circumstances working in favor of Vegas here, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value!" The play is Las Vegas. AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-23-22 | Blackhawks v. Ducks -117 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -117 | 33 h 30 m | Show |
10* DUCKS (DESTROYER) The Ducks are beyond desperate after 8 straight losses. Most recently it was a 6-3 setback to Nashville. They play with revenge here as well after an 8-3 loss to the Hawks two weeks ago. Note that Anaheim is 7-3 in its last 10 in trying to revenge a 2 goals or greater road loss against an opponent. So here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against. Chicago is off 3 straight losses, most recently a 6-4 home setback to the Jets. As Bob Barker used to say: The Price Is Right! In my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." The play is Anaheim! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-22-22 | Predators v. Kings -120 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 31 h 34 m | Show |
10* KINGS (EXPRESS) The Kings have been trading wins/losses over their last 5 games. Off a 5-1 loss at Vegas, I expect this pattern to continue here. LA plays with revenge after a 4-2 loss at Nashville on January 6th. Note that LA is 7-3 in its last 10 in trying to revenge a 2 goals or greater road loss against an opponent. The Predators are off a 6-3 road win at Anaheim just last night and I believe they'll struggle here with fatigure in the second game of the B2B. As Bob Barker used to say, "The Price Is Right!" In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." The play is LA. AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-19-22 | Maple Leafs v. Predators +100 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 0 m | Show |
10* PREDATORS (EXPRESS) Both teams have been playing extremely well, but the "revenge factor" pushes the pendulum in favor of the Predators in my opinion. Honestly, it would not be too difficult to write a concinvincing argument for either of these teams to win, but Nashville lost 3-0 at Toronto on November 16th and the Predators are 7-1 in their last 8 in trying to revenge a shutout road loss against an opponent. That's the difference-maker here for us; the play is the Predators! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-16-22 | Bruins v. Wild -120 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 29 h 38 m | Show |
10* WILD (EXPRESS) After winning 4 of 5 and 2 in a row, I believe Boston stumbles here on the road vs. the much hungrier Wild. Boston has a game at Chicago on Monday night as well, so fatigue is going to be a major issue here for the visiting side. Minnesota has lost 2 straight, but it enjoys 3 whole nights off after this, so I'm expecting a full 3 period effort from the home side. It's a great "spot" wager and as Bob Barker used to say, "The Price Is Right" as well; the play is the Wild! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-12-22 | Kings -134 v. Sharks | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -134 | 27 h 6 m | Show |
10* KINGS (EXPRESS) I think the visiting side is well worth the price of admission in this matchup. The Kings are 32-19-6-2, but they've been at their best on the road with an 18-7-4-1 record. The Sharks are 25-25-5-2 this year, including 13-13-2-1 at home. LA plays with immediate revenge here and that fact is the basis behind this selection. The Sharks just upset the Kings in LA by a score of 4-3 in OT two nights ago, and LA is 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent. SJ has 3 whole nights off after this game and I say it gets caught looking ahead; so look for the revenge-minded Kings to answer on the road on Saturday night! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-08-22 | Rangers v. Wild -141 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 29 h 37 m | Show |
10* WILD (GOW) This is a great spot wager. The Rangers managed a 4-1 win over Winnipeg on the road despite getting outshot 36-22. The Rangers have sure been playing well of late, but I expect them to stumble here finally against this much "hungrier" Wild side. Minnesota has lost 8 of 10, inculding 2 in a row. That includes a 6-3 home loss to Dallas last time out. The good news for us though is that Minnesota is 7-1 in its last 8 after a home loss of 3 or more goals. The Wild managed a 3-2 win over New York in January, but I expect a much bigger victory this time around; lay the price with confidence! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-04-22 | Golden Knights v. Ducks +105 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
10* DUCKS (ASSASSIN) No need to overthink this one. Fatigue is the main issue that I like the Ducks here, as Vegas is off a 5-2 loss at home to the Bruins just last night. The Ducks play with revenge here as well after a 3-1 loss to the Knights in late January. With a "cream puff" of a game against Ottawa at home, Vegas gets caught "looking ahead" as well. The Ducks broke a 2-game slide with a 4-3 win over Boston in their most recent action and note that they're 6-2 in their last 8 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent. Overall, this is the very definition of "great line value" in my opinion; the play is Anaheim! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-02-22 | Blues v. Rangers +100 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 28 h 57 m | Show |
10* RANGERS (EXPRESS) Looks like a great spot to pull the trigger on the hungry home side. Yes, the Blues have been playing better of late, but all good things must come to an end. St. Louis has won 4 straight, including a 4-0 road victory at Chicago in its most recent outing (the Blues are interestingly though just 3-7 in their last 10 off a shutout road win in their last game.) New York had won 4 of 5 before most recently suffering B2B defeats, falling 1-0 at Pittsburgh, before then dropping a 5-2 decision at home to the Canucks in its most recent. With a tough upcoming game at the Islanders, I say the Blues finally stumble here; look for the more desperate home side to take advantage! AAA Sports |
|||||||
03-01-22 | Flames v. Wild -110 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 17 m | Show |
10* WILD (EXPRESS) These are two good teams. Calgary is 31-14-6-0, while Minnesota is 31-16-0-3. The Flames are a respectable 16-10-2-0 on the road, while the Wild are a great 16-4-0-1 at home. But this play comes down to one single thing for me here, the "revenge factor." Minnesota does indeed play with revenge here after falling 7-3 at Calgary on the 26th (the Wild are in fact 7-3 in their last 10 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it conceded 6 or more goals in.) Revenge is a dish best served "cold" the say, and it's forecast to be FREEZING in Minnesota tonight; the play is the Wild! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-28-22 | Maple Leafs v. Capitals +115 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
10* CAPITALS (GOW) Both teams are fighting for better seeding in the playoffs. Toronto is 34-14-4, while Washington is 28-17-9. The Leafs are off a 10-7 win at Detroit, and suffice it to say, I believe a predictable letdown is in the cards here after that "outlier." The Capitals on the other hand have lost 2 straight. Most recently it was as 2-1 setback to the Flyers. Still, the Caps have scored 3 or more goals in 7 of their last 9 games. They're also 10-3 in their last 13 at home vs. the Buds, while Toronto is in fact just 3-8 in its last 11 in this series overall. Looks like a great spot to pull the trigger for a Washington bounceback! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-26-22 | Wild +128 v. Flames | Top | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 27 m | Show |
10* WILD (BOB) I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger on this really good visiting side. Calgary has been great, as it's 30-14-6 overall, including 14-4-4 at home, but after 9 straight wins, it finally came up short in a 7-1 loss at Vancouver last time out. I say the Flames have a predictable letdown here in the second game after their big win streak was snapped. The Wild will look to take advantage, and won't be taking anything for advantage here after their 3-1 loss at Toronto on Friday night. This is the opener of a home and home set for the Wild, with Calgary coming to Minnesota on March 1st. I say the Wild strike first! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-24-22 | Wild v. Maple Leafs -155 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 27 h 32 m | Show |
10* LEAFS (DESTRUCTION) Toronto is off a 4-3 OT loss at home to Columbus. It averages 3.54 GPG, while allowing 2.80. It plays with revenge here after a 4-3 loss at Minnesota at the start of December. With an upcoming two-game road trip starting this weekend, Friday's game takes on added importance for the Buds. Minnesota averages 3.79 GPG, while allowing 3.00. It's off a poor 4-3 loss at Ottawa. With a game at Calgary on Saturday, followed by a home game against the Flames after that, I say the visiting side gets caught "looking ahead." Considering all of the above factors, I think we're getting a GREAT price on the revenge-minded home side; lay the price! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-20-22 | Golden Knights -155 v. Sharks | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
8* VEGAS (DESTRUCTION) Vegas came out of the All Star game and posted a convincing 4-0 win at Edmonton. Since then it's last 3 straight. That includes a tough 4-3 OT loss here at home to the Kings 2 nigths ago. THis is the first time they've faced the Sharks this season. They get 4 nights off after this one before a game against the lowly Coyotes. San Jose has lost both of its games since the All Star break. That includes a 5-4 OT loss here 2 nights ago against the Canucks. The Sharks average only 2.69 GPG, while Vegas averages 3.22. Look for Vegas to take advantage here and to finally stop the bleeding; lay the price! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-18-22 | Kings v. Golden Knights -157 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -157 | 31 h 17 m | Show |
10* KNIGHTS (BLOOD-BATH) LA is 24-17-7, while Vegas is 28-18-3. The Kings are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Oilers. Cal Peterson allowed 3 goals in 27 shots. Overall the Kings have been good on both ends of the ice, as goaltender Jonathan Quick is 12-10-6 with a 2.60 GAA. But recent form is an issue for the visiting side obviously. The Knights actually come in as the "hungrier" team here after 2 straight losses. Most recently they fell 2-0 to Colorado. That's noteworthy in this case, as Las Vegas is 7-1 in its last 8 off a shutout loss. The Golden Knights are also 4-1 in their last 5 vs. the Pacific division, while the Kings are just 3-7 in their last 10 in this series. No upsets here, lay the price with confidence; the play is Las Vegas! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-17-22 | Penguins v. Maple Leafs -144 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 27 h 8 m | Show |
10* LEAFS (BLOOD-BATH) Pittsburgh's won 4 straight since returning from the All Star break, but I believe it'll finally stumble here in this difficult road venue. The Penguins are off a tight 5-4 OT win at home ver the lowly Flyers. In fact, the only good team they've beaten since the return was a 4-2 victory over Boston on the first night. Since then thy also have wins over putrid Ottawa and terrible New Jersey. Toronto plays with revenge here after a 2-0 loss to the Pens in November. And that's noteworthy in this case, as the Buds are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 in trying to revenge a shutout road loss against an opponent. Toronto is just 2-2 since returning to action, but it won its lone home game in that span, a 4-3 OT victory over league-leading Carolina. Look for the Leafs to do the same here, as they defend their ice; I have no issues at all in laying this price! AAA Sports |
|||||||
02-11-22 | Jets v. Stars -150 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
10* STARS (BLOOD-BATH) Dallas opened up the second half with a big 4-3 win over Nashville. Expect the Stars to keep the good times rolling here on home ice. Overall Dallas averages 2.98 GPG, while allowing 3.02. The Jets opened up with a 2-0 win at home over the Wild. They average 2.81 GPG, while conceding 2.88. Both teams allow more goals than they average themselves, so the home ice advantage CAN NOT be overlooked as a very real deciding factor today. Dallas plays with revenge here as well after a 4-3 loss at Winnipeg in early November. The Jets also have an incredibly tough game at Nashville tomorrow night, setting this up as a classic "look-ahead" spot for the visiting side as well. All things considered, a great price; the play is Dallas! AAA Sports |

02-08-22 | Golden Knights +101 v. Oilers | Top | 4-0 | Win | 101 | 30 h 32 m | Show |
10* KNIGHTS (DESTRUCTION) Vegas crushed Buffalo by a score of 5-2 in its final game before the break and I expect it to find a way to deliver here on the road to open up the second half. The Knights average 3.35 goals per game, while allowing 2.96. The Oilers average 3.31 GPG, while allowing 3.29. Edmonton is just 12-8 at home this year, while Las Vegas is 14-10 on the road. The Oilers closed with a 5-3 win in the nation's capital to close out their first half, but I expect the Knights' superior defense to help them pull off a minor upset here in Edmonton on Tuesday night; the play is Las Vegas! AAA Sports |

02-07-22 | Hurricanes +125 v. Maple Leafs | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 53 m | Show |
10* HURRICANES (GOW) Two of the best in the East collide in this one. Toronto averages 3.60 GPG, while allowing 2.64, while Carolina averages 3.48 GPG, while allowing 2.33. Very evenly matched clubs, each coming in rested and determined to post a big second half run. So why will Frederik Anderson get the better of his former team tonight? Carolina is 4-0 in its last 4 as an underdog, while Toronto is interestingly just 1-4 in its last five Monday games. I say that Carolina's league-leading defense is the difference-maker today; the play is the Hurricanes! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-31-22 | Ducks v. Red Wings -102 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
10* RED WINGS (GOW) Off B2B road wins, I expect the Ducks to stumble in their final game before the All Star break. Detroit plays with revenge here as well after falling 4-3 at Anaheim at the start of January. Detroit has lost 3 of its last 4. It's off a 7-4 loss here to Toronto, but note that it's 7-3 in its last 10 off a home loss of 3 or more goals. Detroit comes out and takes advantage of this spot, while also avenging the earlier loss; great value here on Detroit! AAA Sports |
|||||||
01-27-22 | Flames v. Blues -150 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
10* BLUES (EXPRESS) Calgary is off B2B blowout wins, but I think it'll have difficulties here in St. Louis. Most recently the Flames clobbered Columbus 6-0 on the road. St Louis though plays with revenge here after a 7-1 setback at Calgary just last week. The Blues are 6-2 in their last 8 in trying to revenge a road loss of 5 or more goals to an opponent as well. Calgary is back home for a game against the Canucks next, so I think it gets caught looking ahead to that more winnable game. The Blus are 16-4-1 at home this year. Look for that streak to get added to tonight; lay the reasonable price! AAA Sports |

01-26-22 | Flames -180 v. Blue Jackets | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
8* FLAMES Calgary has won 2 of its last 3. It beat Florida 5-1 at home, then fell 5-3 at Edmonton, before then hammering the Blues 7-1 at home in its most recent. With a super tough game at St. Louis tomorrow night in the rematch, the Flames are going to lay a beating on Columbus tonight in my opinion. I expect a lop-sided outcome, meaning that I definitely have no issues laying this larger-than-normal price. Columbus has lost 3 of its last 4, most recently a 2-1 home loss to Ottawa. And with the Rangers coming to town tomorrow, the home side gets caught looking ahead; all things considered, a very fair price! AAA Sports |

01-25-22 | Oilers -125 v. Canucks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
10* OILERS (EXPRESS) Edmonton finally broke its 7-game slide with a big 5-3 home win over Calgary and I expect it to continue its climb back to the top of the mountain. Vancouver is off 2 straight losses. The Canucks have a difficult 5-game road trip to plan for starting on Thursday. I say they get caught looking ahead. The Oilers won the last matchup 2-1 back on October 30th, but all signs point to their superior and motivated offense finding the back of the net a few more times in the Pacific Northwest this evening; lay the price, the play is Edmonton! AAA Sports |

01-24-22 | Blues v. Flames -135 | Top | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show |
10* FLAMES (GOW) St. Louis has been playing really well this year. It's won 8 of 10, including 3 straight. But because this is the opener of a home and home set, I really like the Flames to dig deep here and deliver in friendly confines. This is the first matchup of the year between the teams. Calgary though is desperate after dropping 7 of its last 10. It broke a 4 game slide with a 5-1 win over Florida, then 3 nights later fell 5-3 at Edmonton. The Flames will actually play at Columbus before their rematch in St. Louis on the 27th, but regardless Calgary is 5-1 in its last 6 off a road loss in which it allowed 5 or more goals in. I say Calgary digs deep and delivers in this crucial game; so lay this reasonable price! AAA Sports |
