No tips yesterday.
The Penguins beat the Capitals 4-3. This was the 50th time that Crosby and Ovechkin played each other and the Pens have won 31 of those 50. The Penguins were up 3-1 after the 2nd period. The Caps pushed but the Pens hung on for the win.
The Blue Jackets beat the Canadiens 4-3 and swept the season series winning all 3 meetings. The Jackets are now 8-1-1 over their last 10 games and sit in 3rd place in the Metro.
The final game of the day was the Canucks vs the Hurricanes. This was a good game that needed a shootout to be completed. The Canes won 4-3. It was Justin Williams scoring the winning goal in the shootout for the 2nd time in the 4 games he has played this season.
The Super Bowl took place yesterday and what a game that was. The Chiefs were down 20-10 in the 3rd quarter but then Mahomes did what he does best. He lead the Chiefs to 21 straight points to pick up the come from behind victory. It was a great game and congrats to coach Andy Reid who won his first title as head coach.
A slow night of NHL action with only 3 games.
Panthers vs Maple Leafs Betting Tips
The Panthers lost their last game which ended their winning streak at 6 games. The Leafs have won all three games they have played since the All-Star break.
The last time these teams met it was Florida pounding the Leafs 8-4. Im sure the Leafs remember that and will be looking to get some revenge.
I wanted to take the Leafs in regulation but Florida has been a decent team and will be looking to get back in the win column after having their streak snapped.
I instead will go with the Over. These teams are tied for 2nd place in the league with 3.60 GPG. The last two games between them each hit 12 goals. Both teams are fighting for their playoff spots and need to have a strong run in the 2nd half of the season to get there.
