February 8th, 2018 NHL Betting Tips

Written by Graeme on Thursday, February 8th, 2018

It was a nice and easy winning night last night with the Bruins to win as they thumped the Rangers 6-1.

We also won with our AHL & WHL Tips last night.

The Rangers took the lead in that game but then the Bruins just came back HARD. It was a good performance from the Bruins although it could have been a lot different – Khudobin made some key saves in the 1st to stop the Rangers.

It’s amazing with their form that the Bruins aren’t the top team in the East yet but the big question will be is if they can bring their form into the playoffs. Should be interesting. With the way they’re winning games at the moment and the methods used I think they’ve got what it takes to go all the way.

Let’s get to tonights tips:

Flames vs Devils Betting Tips:

Speaking of potential Stanley Cup finalists, I honestly think the Flames could be there if they could get their home form sorted out. And I think they’re getting there – they might just blossom and figure it out in the playoffs.

They’re on the road and their road form is excellent. Of course we can’t just base it on that. Devils are fairly average at home and while they got two big Ws over the Pens & Flyers before that they lost to the Preds & Wings.

I was really impressed with the Flames victory over the Blackhawks at the United Center. Hawks are a mess but it’s still a tough place to go especially when playing a team for the 2nd time in 3 days who will be out for revenge.

Devils can be a feisty team on the bounce back but that was a BAD loss against the Senators and I think their confidence will be shot.

It’s a tight one but we like Flames to win incl OT/SO.

Canada: 1.93 Odds at Pinnacle Sports.
USA: -107 Odds at GT Bets.
Everyone Else: 1.93 Odds at Pinnacle Sports.

Sabres vs Islanders Betting Tips:

The price is right on this one to take the Islanders. Obviously they can be a mess of a team but their road form has been fairly solid and Lehner is generally below average against the Islanders.

The over is very tempting here however the Sabres offense is never fun to count on for something like that. Yeah they came to life against the Ducks but you look at their stats this season and they just can’t seem to carry that goalscoring from game to game on a regular basis.

Islanders to win incl OT/SO

Canada: 1.94 Odds at Pinnacle Sports.
USA: -108 Odds at 5Dimes..
Everyone Else: 1.94 Odds at Pinnacle Sports.

Wild vs Coyotes Betting Tips:

I mean this just ticks all the boxes doesn’t it? One of the best home teams in the NHL versus the worst team in the NHL. Not much to really analyze about this one. If Coyotes win or take it to hockey so be it – that’s hockey.

Wild in Regulation

Canada: 1.72 Odds at 888 Sports.
USA: -140 Odds at 5Dimes.
Everyone Else: 1.72 Odds at 888 Sports.

Unit/Confidence Betting Tips:

(We are experimenting with adding unit/confidence to our betting tips. For more details see this post.)

Flames – 1u.
Islanders – 1u.
Wild – 2u.
Lightning/Canucks Over 5.5 – 0.5u: This is more my pick – Scott wasn’t a big fan hence 0.5u. I generally like Canucks on the road and with Tampa D struggling plus first game home after awhile – could be an interesting one.
