Only 3 games last night.
The Oilers beat the Panthers 4-3. The Capitals beat the Flyers 4-1 and the Ducks beat the Bruins 5-3. For the Bruins, this was their first loss under new coach Bruce Cassidy ending their win streak at 4 games.
A decent night of hockey for us with 6 games and its getting to that point of the season where each game has much more meaning. Teams are now fighting to either hold their spot in the playoffs or trying to get in.
The trade deadline is fast approaching and in surprised no major moves have been made yet. But it’s only a matter of time.
We talked a bunch about the games tonight but we could only agree on one tip
Coyotes vs Blackhawks Betting Tips:
Over the last 10 games between these teams the Hawks have been great going 8-1-1. And over those games there has been an average of 6.30 GPG.
They last played each other at the start of February and it was the Hawks coming away with the 4-3 win.
The Coyotes have had a high scoring month of games with some high totals and over the 9 games played in February there has been an average of 6.44 GPG.
The Hawks have played 8 games in February and their total GPG has been 6.62.
So all signs point to a high scoring game so let’s go with it.
Over 5.5 incl OT/SO
Canada: 2.05 Odds at Bet365
USA: +105 Odds at Bovada
Everyone Else: 2.05 Odds at Bet365
@Henry Del Valle Sr.:disqus how did you do last night? did you bet Caps big? they are now 5-0-1 after losing two in a row.
I went 3-1. Standard unit for me. I like to flat bet. My Caps plays swept the board. Only bet I did not do was Wash PL. Panthers didn’t come thru for me but oh well.
Hakws Reg
Mtl ML
also very like Preds and Kings. What ya think?
odds for Hawks in reg is -158 at my site. Why take those odds when there are much sharper bets on the board?
Habs are 2-7 this month and Isles are playing well, for a change. Why take Habs ML?
Preds should blow Avs away but the odds suck.
Kings maybe, but Bruins are very competitive right now and LAK is not a goal scoring machine. Maybe the over in this game or Bs ML
Yeah, you are right about MTL reg, probably will take ML, they managed to win against NYR, so it is a good time for them to turn some things around. Isles a good but I have a gut feeling about this game today, and will probably play it in parlay with Hawks, for better odds. As per Preds I agree with you they’ll destroy Avs probably, and gut also tells me LAK will win today, here I even cant explain why – just a feeling it must be right choice. So will take those 2 as a parlay too. GL to all.
My site has Hawks in Reg-200! Ouch!
wow, that low, mine gives now -153, in the morning when I took it was -140. For the parlay it is still a good value I think
Oh I am sorry…the -200 in reg for Hawks was straight up, not a parlay. Love your parlay! Big night for you.
no no, I took hawks for -140 and MTL for -153, so in parlay I have +180. Big night I agree. I dont know if I calculated this correctly as my bookie shows only decimal odds 😀 but doesn’t matter GLTA
Bolts regulation – Bolts have been playing some good hockey lately and finding the back of the net a lot–3.5 GPG in last 4. Flames are in middle of tough road trip and have been alternating Ws with Ls. They are due with an L and Elliott has not been good while Bishop has been on point.
I like Yotes and Hawks over but I’m not putting much on it.
Bruins will bounce back tonight and give LAK a good game but with Khudobin likely to be in net it’s tough to call the side. I like the over in this game and I like both teams to score at least 3, but I’m only betting on the Bs to score 2.5+ because the Kings TT odds aren’t that good.
Isles ML – good value for a team that has been playing really well against a Habs team that seems to have lost their way. Some teams respond really well to a coaching change but the Habs are having a tough transition. Julien’s system will be an adjustment for them and Pricey hasn’t been great. Griess matches up well with Habs and Price lost the first time they played.
GLTA
I agree with your Isles Pick, I do feel that Khudobin will be a huge factor in the Bruins/Kings game though, if he doesn’t perform, the Kings will win in my opinion, the Bruins can do a good job of protecting their goalie, but it will only be for so long before that breaks down.
Tonight picks
Bolts in reg
YOTES/HAWKS over 5.5

I am tempted to go straight up Bolts win for tonight.
Would someone talk some sense into me or provide me some good reasoning?!
Thanks!
see my post below
Thanks! My bad, I overlooked your post.
I have gone:
Bolts (inc. OT)
Preds (inc. OT)
Habs/Isles over 3.5
Though I follow the Leafs, I rarely have much faith in them. Now I’ve typed that, will most likley come back to haunt me with a resounding win over NYR..!!
MTL NSH and CHI seem like locks, TB in that category as well?
Locks in the NHL? Ba-ha-ha-ha!
I use the term lock very loosely
I just meant high confidence
I’m going with my Over 1.5 1st period if game total is listed at 6 or 6.5O/U
NYR/TOR over 1.5 1st pd. -113 is what I bet it at it’s now at -107
Bolts – Flames BTTS 2
Hawks – Coyotes Hawks ML
Kings – Bruins O.5 (OT/SO)
Predators – Avalanche PREDS ML (not only because they have 4 out of 4 wins in their last meetings)
Thinking of taking
Islanders (ML) – Been playing a lot better recently and have a good away record, I don’t think the Habs will be super consistent with the new manager yet even after beating the rangers
Chicago -1.5 – Coyotes are bad away even if they’ve been playing better and chicago will have confidence after beating the wild, they also usually beat coyotes by 2 or more goals
NY/Toronto Over 6 – two super high scoring teams
Los Angeles (ML) – Backup in Net for Bruins
Rangers ML
Preds in reg
Habs in reg
