January 23rd, 2016 NHL Betting Tips

Written by Graeme on Saturday, January 23rd, 2016

Hope everyone affected by the winter storm in the States stays safe! It’s the perfect day to hide under a blanket in your basement, drink beer and watch hockey.

We’ve got a loaded card of games tonight and looking forward to them.

An interesting one last night with the Blackhawks – fresh off their winning streak being ended – snapping the Panthers losing streak as Florida went to town on Chicago. Will be interesting to see how both teams react after that.

I did one of those escape rooms last night. If you’ve never been – man are they fun. Although it was tough having to leave my phone outside. Some of us have to check NHL scores FFS.

Let’s get to the tips today:

Canadiens vs Leafs Betting Tips:

Even with Price in net, we often look at the over in this one. With the way the Habs are at the moment? Man – this promises to be an interesting game.

Both teams have offensive problems at the moment which is concerning – but this is one of those games where a lot of the form goes out of the window and it’s all about this particular game and winning it. Stats don’t matter as much in games like this.

Over 5 goals.

Canada: 1.77 Odds at Sports Interaction.
USA: -130 Odds at BetOnline.
Everyone Else: 1.77 Odds at William Hill.

Stars vs Avalanche Betting Tips:

You’ve got two offenses here that can always kick off – and these two have had high scoring games in the past. Stars are 3.48 for goals in a game at home, and the Avs are 2.63

Stars didn’t have the best road trip but are back home now and looking good. We’ll take Stars in regulation.

Canada: 1.90 Odds at 888 Sports.
USA: -125 Odds at BetOnline.
Everyone Else: 1.90 Odds at 888 Sports.

Islanders vs Flyers Betting Tips:

Griess in net for the Islanders. He’s been fairly leaky whether they win or lose. Flyers have managed to get their offense clicking the last 2 games but still conceding.

Hopefully a nice sloppy game with a lot of goals.

Over 5 Goals.

Devils vs Jets Betting Tips:

The odds for this one were a surprise to me – and I think there’s just too much value on this one – have to go with a Devils win.

Devils are on a nice little run – more importantly they’re playing some good hockey. Their road form isn’t great in terms of scoring goals – but they still have a solid 13-9-2 away record. They won’t win in dominant fashion but it should hopefully be a nice tight win.

The Jets have lost two straight at home and it’s tough to see them losing three. They were in a similar circumstance just over a week ago and we saw a fighting performance against the Predators.

I’ve actually chickened out of this one after writing about it – one of those things where I felt good about the Devils but as the day went on – I’ve changed my mind and no longer want to bet. A lot of that is just it’s hard to see the Jets losing at home.

But hey I wrote it up so figure I’ll post it.
