We had 3 tips yesterday and unfortunately we went 1-2.
We had the Flames to win in regulation against the Hawks and the did with ease winning 5-1. Tkachuk scored which extend his goal streak to 3 games.
The Red Wings lost to the Bruins 5-1. The Wings scored 1st and the Bruins answered just over 3 minutes later. The Bruins scored 5 straight for the win.
The final tip was the Knights in regulation against the Jets. The Knights were up 2-0 after the 1st, the Jets scored 2 of their own in the 2nd and both teams added 2 more in the 3rd to force overtime. Kyle Connor won it for the Jets 5-4.
Zibanejad had a hat trick for the Rangers and they beat the Lightning 4-0. Hischier scored twice including the overtime time winner when the Devils beat the Caps 4-3. The Avalanche scored late to take the lead and added an empty net goal at the end when they beat the Ducks 4-2.
The Sharks vs Penguins game was nuts. The Pens were up 6-1 after the 1st. The Sharks scored 4 straight to get it close but the Pens the final 2 goals and won 8-5.
Due to some postponed games we have only one scheduled for today.
Oilers vs Rangers Betting Tips:
The Oilers have 8 players out and 1 of them has Covid. The Rangers have 6 players out with 4 of them on the Covid protocol list.
The Oilers have lost 3 straight and have gone 2-6-2 over their last 10. The Rangers have won 2 in a row and 5-4-1 over their last 10.
This will be the Rangers and Oilers 4th game in 6 days so fatigue is surely going to be an issue.
With the recent results I would like to say the Rangers should win this game. But they did play yesterday and even with the Oilers having 8 players out they still have McDavid and Draisaitl. I feel like I have to skip this game for those reasons.
